Danielle “Dani” Fenton/Phantom is a human/ghost hybrid, a biological clone and “cousin” of Danny Phantom. she is a younger, female version of Danny Phantom, created by Vlad Plasmius, she is a younger, female version of Danny, as well as his only surviving clone. Dani has taken to traveling around the world in hopes of doing her own heroics. It was later revealed by series creator Butch Hartman, that sometime after the series Dani ended up being adopted into the Fenton family, making her Danny’s younger sister.
History[]
Desperately lonely despite his vast wealth, Vlad had made a number of unsuccessful attempts to try and convince Danny in disowning Jack Fenton and join him as his son. He then resolved to create the perfect half-ghost son for himself, conducting a series of experiments making clones of Danny, using samples of Danny's DNA which he and Valerie gathered during their battles with the young hybrid. All of these clones were failures, all of them being mindless except one; a younger half-ghost/half-human girl whom Vlad named Danielle.
Vlad treated Dani as his own daughter. He never faltered in showing "love and affection" to her; and she never faltered in her desire to serve her "father." Dani is about twelve years of age biologically, and few months of age chronologically. In "Kindred Spirits," after Vlad created Dani along with a few other clones and sent her on a mission to capture Danny so that Vlad could take the final DNA samples he needed for his perfect clone, she snuck into Danny's room and waited for him in her human form, reading his comic books in his bed. When he came, she introduced herself to him as Danielle (his "third cousin once removed") and they quickly formed a bond despite Danny's initial suspicion and Dani's subservience to Vlad. Later, Dani succeeded in bringing Danny to Vlad. She then found out that the "perfect clone" Vlad was trying to create was not her, but another one, a perfect imitation of Danny that was nearly complete. It would mean that she would be killed alongside Danny once Vlad was finished.
When Vlad showed Dani his true colors by snapping at her for questioning his orders not even caring if she melts, she, disillusioned, joined Danny against him, destroying all his other clones and equipment, and stopping his plan. Dani then bails Sam, Tucker, and Danny out of trouble by overshadowing Mr. Lancer and Maddie mid-rant. She says her goodbyes and then leaves to travel on her own, promising to return.
In "D-Stabilized," Dani's instability finally caught up to her, causing her powers to weaken and her body to spontaneously melt into a puddle of ectoplasm without warning. She returned to Amity Park, seeking Danny's help and hoping to avoid Vlad. Unfortunately, Vlad discovered Dani's presence in Elmerton and sent Valerie to capture her, so he could resume his cloning experiments by melting her down and studying her remains. Ironically, Dani met Valerie in her human form and was friendly to her. However, after Dani used her ghost form to save Valerie from being crushed by a collapsing ceiling, the latter captured her and hatched a plan to use Dani in order to lure Danny. Valerie's plan worked, and she captured Danny, whilst handing Dani over to Vlad.
While torturing and interrogating Danny, Valerie was convinced by Danny to let him go to find a cure for Dani and save her from Vlad, as she was half-human and Valerie didn't want to destroy humans. Using one of his parents' inventions, Danny and Valerie narrowly rescued Dani and re-stabilize her condition with the Fenton Ecto-Dejecto. Rejuvenated, Dani then effectively attacks Vlad and goes with Valerie when Danny tells her to do so, leaving Danny alone to angrily confront Vlad and tell him to stay away from Dani. She then parts ways with Danny again, intending to do her own good in the world.
Dani makes a cameo in "Phantom Planet" as one of the many ghosts assisting Danny in turning the Earth intangible to save it from the Disasteroid.
Butch Hartman later revealed that sometime following the series’s finale, Jazz, Maddie, and Jack eventually learned about Dani’s existence, and accepted her into their family. Thus she is now the adoptive younger sister of both Danny and Jazz.
Personalty[]
Dani shares many of Danny's likes and personality traits. Unlike the other failed experiments, she isn't mindless and doesn't mind voicing exactly how she feels. A very willful and somewhat tomboyish girl, Dani is a lot like Danny, only more cheerful and childish. She seems to have no concern with responsibility and can be quite stubborn at times.
Dani can be quite naïve, which is, in part, due to her limited existence so far. Because of her limited knowledge, she was easily talked into obeying Vlad's commands, as she thought of him like a real father. It wasn't until she met Danny that she realized that she was just one of Vlad's pawns.
