Personality:
Danny has a laid-back and easygoing personality, but can be very sarcastic and cynical at times. He is very stubborn and over protective of his family and friends. Danny has a lame sense of humor, which often manifests itself as corny puns. In public he seems like nothing more than a typically lazy, klutzy and easily bullied teenager. And in a sense, he is still one. He likes to hang out with his friends and listen to popular music. He enjoys bowling and video games. He is bad at math, but loves astronomy and dreams of being an astronaut some day.

But deep inside, Danny has an overdeveloped sense of duty and a streak of responsibility a mile wide. He genuinely wants to do the right thing, and will do so even if it hurts him. As he put it once, 'I can't ignore a cry for help.' This feeling of responsibility and justice has often driven him to help even people who are normally his enemies. He has a habit of blaming himself every time someone gets hurt that he could have saved.

At the same time, his determination to do the right thing has put him in conflict many times with the desire to use his powers for selfish purposes. He has been tempted in the past To play pranks on the school bullies and to get out of trouble with his parents. But every time he has given into this urge it has always come back to hurt him.

More than anything else, Danny has always dreamed of acceptance. That he could tell the world about his secret and he wouldn't have to fear being shipped off to a lab to be experimented on. That people wouldn't automatically assume he has evil intentions every time he meets them. That they could accept that he only wants to help. And that he wouldn't have to face his own parents as enemies half the time.

He would like to believe that the world would accept his ghost side, but he has spent too much time being treated as a monster by the media and ghost hunters. He has a hard time believing that the entire world could change their minds about him that quickly.is just a little too cynical to put too much faith in that. At some level he has accepted that he doesn't truly belong to either world. He's too much of a ghost to be human and too much of a human to be a ghost. He will never be just an ordinary kid. And if he isn't okay with it, at least he has come to terms with it.

Living as a supernatural vigilante has left Danny with some lasting personality traits. He is always a little paranoid, always waiting for the next ghost attack or the next ghost-hunter to come after him. He has serious trust issues, as well. The only people he trusts completely are his friends Sam and Tucker, his sister Jazz, and a ghost named Clockwork. He is still wary of adults. He may like some of them, but he never trusts them completely. Perhaps because every new adult he has considered trusting in the past year has ended up betraying him on some level.

Danny's greatest fear is himself. In an adventure with time travel, Danny met a future version of himself that was everything he had never wanted to be. That future version of Danny had destroyed most of the world simply because he could. When he discovered Danny in the future, he had trapped him there and returned to Danny' present solely to ensure that all of Danny's family and friends died on schedule. He was a monster, and Danny is terrified of ever becoming something like that. He made a promise to his family never to become that. But hasn't forgotten any of it.

Key themes:
*Accepting Yourself.
Danny's primary theme is learning to accept that who and what he is is something okay to be. His motivation changes over the course of the series from just wanting to be normal to realizing that actually its more than okay to be himself, no matter how weird that self might be.

*Becoming a Hero
Danny also has the character theme of developing from being just a kid with weird powers he can't control, to becoming an experienced hero by the end of the third season.

Main Motivation:
More than anything else, Danny just wants to do the right thing. He fails sometimes. Doing the right thing can be hard, and he sometimes falters and tries to take the easy way out. But in the end, he always comes back to make the right decision.

Sample:
Is a non-working vacation too much to ask for? I mean, come on. One day off. After what happened last week I deserve that.

[A dark-haired teenage boy is scowling unhappily into the camera. He sighs heavily and drags a hand through his hair.]

Okay,so let me just get this straight. I've been kidnapped. Again. And we're stuck on an inter-dimensional train. [He grins a little, not really sure whether to keep complaining over the situation or nerd out a little at the scenery.] But...I'm not going to lie, the part with the void is actually kind of cool. I mean,its not NASA or the space shuttle or anything. But still cool.

Who knows what kinds of places we'll get to explore out there?
