Dana is kinfolk to the Children of Gaia, but later Awakened as an Orphan mage who later joined the Dreamspeakers. She planned to become a psychological counseler, but flunked out of graduate school when she missed too many classes in assisting the Garou in returning a thaumavore (magic-eating creature), which had been damaging and destroying nodes and glades around Saint Claire and WWNP, to Pangea. She had dated Scott, a Silver Fang, for a time until an apparent falling out between them prompted Scott to put out a call for marriage-minded Fang kinfolk.
