Aleesha's best mate, Danielle, is bright but has to work for the grades that come more easily to Aleesha. She's opinionated, arrogant and cares very little about what anyone who isn't in her clique thinks. She's pretty and image obsessed, taking a great deal of time and care over her appearance - her nails are always immaculate and she wouldn't be seen dead at school without having given her hair the full GHD treatment.

Danielle has an answer for everything - her tongue is sharp and often cruel. She's got a vicious sense of humour and delights in other people's misfortunes, partly because it helps to fuel her feeling of superiority.
