APPEARANCE 

 her friends who work at cosmetics booths always say she could be prettier if she just tried, but she prefers the lazy life. dani has a friendly face which she decorates with cheap mascara and burt's bees chapstick. she never wears makeup for the sake of not being late for work and she usually looks put-together, having never experienced a day in her life where she felt stressed out enough to wear sweatpants outside. she often jokes about her insecurities, which, currently is because she thinks it's Huge and is "the reason why she won't stop talking."

 she only looks skinny, which means you can't tell that she has a bit of sustaining baby fat around her belly and cheeks. she also has long, skinny arms that she thinks makes her look like a spider monkey. her legs are the most normal part of her, which she takes pride in since she thinks the rest of her body is Wack and can't be fixed unless she gets a gym membership or something like that. her hair is currently a dark brown and ends at her upper back.

FASHION 

 her body temp is naturally warm so she gets hot easily & if u dont believe her then hold her hands / wears a Lot of shorts and skirts in the summer, only has one pair of jeans that isn't ripped or torn (whether the rest have had holes in them originally or not, we have no idea) / has a lot of oversized clothes (i.e hoodies, shirts, sweatpants, etc.) but saves them specifically for when it gets cold at night and for when the cold months roll around / not especially trendy, her outfits are pretty bland but she knows what kinds of jackets go with what shirts etc it's just a feeling, she says / has like 3 pairs of converse and wears those interchangably / wears a lot of black and white but everything in between is some shade of pink

 shows up to work in her cheap tennis shoes, a plain t-shirt, and cuffed jeans (also a hoodie sometimes, when it's colder outside) / ties her hair in a bun so she doesn't smell Completely like dog when she gets back to their apartment / this has been her uniform since her boss is pretty lax with that kind of stuff, as long as they wear these long, dark brown aprons bc. the dogs. they piss whenever & wherever they want & he doesn't want ur clothes to have piss on them.

mon & wed  dani wakes up at five fifty in the morning for her six-thirty shift after like. six alarms go off and she does her usual morning routine: roll out of bed, wash up for fifteen minutes, get changed in the dark, and bike to the convenience store to buy raisin bread or something for breakfast (on mondays she eats breakfast at home!). on mondays and wednesdays, it's her turn to wear one of the musty dog suits and wander around a busy sidewalk for an hour and a half or so handing out flyers and promoting the cafe. she comes back, sprays herself with perfume (which, really, doesn't mask the scent very well), and goes straight to cleaning duty and handling the dogs. she does this until jaewon comes in to take over and takes her break, during which she goes to eat lunch at the convenience store and comes back to more cleaning and dog duty. she goes back home between two thirty and three in the afternoon and takes a well-deserved shower. unless everyone's eating dinner together, she either cooks something with whatever's in the fridge or goes back to the convenience store to buy ramen. when everyone eats dinner together, though, she tells everyone about her dani shenanigans and knocks out at around eleven.

tues, thurs, & fri  dani wakes up at maybe eight or nine and spends an hour rolling around in bed on her phone playing mobile games. on tuesdays and fridays, she does her morning routine and bikes to the convenience store to have breakfast, but on thursdays she eats breakfast at home. she hangs around that area for a while (on thursdays she just. takes extra time to get ready) and goes to work at twelve. she has cashier duty on those days and cleans the cafe during the dead hours. on the really dead days, she and her coworkers take turns watching the door so they can order food for their break. she basically does the same thing the whole day and sometimes she plays with the dogs when no one's looking. she leaves at seven and sometimes brings back dinner for the house.

weekends  on the days she takes weekend shifts, she usually has cashier duty or takes over for a coworker; her weekend shifts are shorter and occur less often because her boss doesn't always call her in on weekends. her weekend work routine is the same as it is on tuesdays, thursdays, and fridays but she leaves between four and five. when she comes home, she watches whatever's on tv with whoever's at home and attempts to cook the cool thing she saw on some netflix food show the other day. 60% of the time it turns out edible, but the other 40%, they end up going out for dinner.

notables  dani said she'd do anything to have this job so they gave her the shifts no one wanted and made her wear the dog suit; there's this sense of immense horror that comes from the dog suit so that explains why people tend to stay away from her when she's wearing it; she works hard!! she wants the customers to tell her manager she's doing well!!; she and her coworkers decide who takes out the trash by playing games; she occasionally goes out drinking with her coworkers on weekends or after work on fridays; more later ??

 dani spends a lot of time in bed in the morning, so there's a good chance no one catches her on her way to work in the early hours. after she comes home from work, she either naps or asks everyone in the house what she can do for them and she'll usually do it depending on what they request (back massages? ok!! sweep the floor?? ok!! cook dinner??? ok!!! foot massages...no) since she's trying her best not to get kicked out of the house. she's really loud when she talks?? sometimes they recieve noise complaints bc she shouts her stories and sometimes there are bad words mixed in.

 unless she (or the other person) has an early shift the next morning, she'll stay up with anyone to drink. overall, if anyone asks her if she wants to go somewhere or do something with them, she'll say yes without hesitation, especially to grocery store trips. she'll do it even if it cuts into her convenience store time! she's very quiet in her alone time (aka playing games on her phone time) since she knows at least one person is in the house with her. if no one's in the house with her, she'll go out with whichever of her other friends is available so she isn't lonely. if she has to be alone (to watch the apartment or whatever) she'll have a lot of noise in the background of what she's doing— music, the tv, etc. she's the one who uses up all the eggs because those things are Easy to cook. she also buys orange juice and doesn't drink it. (if there are other girls in the house then she steals from their tampon stash if she runs out)

if you haven't noticed dani always has to play with her hands while she's talking

uh hi this layout was partly inspired by natsyme's wednesday and valentine themes on tumblr ~_________~ honestly. i think the app itself describes her personality better than the actual personality section rip i at writing personalities hgfjd anyway i love u tofu keep doing u ur the best around
