Originally an unpopular high school student facing ordinary teenage problems, Danny becomes a half-human/half-ghost hybrid during a lab accident via stepping into and activating his parents' Ghost Portal. Since then, Danny has taken on the role of a ghostly superhero to protect Amity Park and the world from the dangerous ghosts that escape the Ghost Zone while ensuring his alter ego "Danny Phantom" remains secret from all save his best friends, Tucker and Samantha “Sam”, and his older sister Jazz. Living with ghost-obsessed parents since birth, Danny had to put up with his parents' "unique" personalities, which often traumatized him. Danny wanted to be an astronaut when he grew up and, unlike his parents, had no interest in hunting ghosts. However, this did not stop his curiosity that one day changed his life forever. while exploring his parents' laboratory with his two best friends Sam Manson and Tucker Foley, Danny (at Sam's suggestion to check it out) accidentally activated the newly-built Fenton Ghost Portal from the inside, causing his DNA to become infused with ectoplasm and turning Danny into a human/ghost hybrid with an array of ghostly superpowers. Danny Fenton has fair skin, black hair and blue eyes. He wears a white T-shirt with a thin red collar, red cuffs, and a red oval in the middle, light blue jeans and red-and-white sneakers. When he becomes furious, his eyes sometimes flash bright green even while in human form. When he transforms into Danny Phantom, his hair becomes snow white, his eyes become glowing green, his skin becomes cast in shadow and a faint white glow surrounds his whole body. In this form, he wears a black jumpsuit with white boots, collar, belt and gloves. he wears his logo, a white "D" with three ghost trails on its stem and the negative space inside it forming a "P," on his chest. His voice becomes slightly but noticeably resonant as well. He is 15 years old. Initially, Danny was awkward and nervous yet friendly - not to mention sassy as heck. Like most teenagers, he desires to be popular, has a dislike of bullies and embarrassment from his parents. But unlike most teenagers, he had super-powers. He struggled to cope with them and was afraid of anyone discovering his secret, fearing it would make him "go from geek to freak" and longed to be normal just like everyone else again. But after fighting ghosts for the first time, he realized he could use his powers for good. This newfound sense of purpose changed Danny into a heroic, brave young man. when he is not worrying about ghosts, Danny is kind, easy-going, helpful, and compassionate at times. He likes using his ghost powers for good, but, being a teenage boy, is not always above using them to get revenge on bullies or sneak out of school detention. His ghost hunting often cuts into his schoolwork time, but he does work hard when he puts his mind on the task at hand--except when he's lazy or distracted. Although he isn't the smartest person around, but he is clever at devising plans, having good ideas and using resources, like his powers, Fenton equipment, and friends with different talents. He almost rarely gets extremely mad or emotional, only taking important matters personally like his archenemies Vlad and Dark Danny. He loves making puns and exchanging witty banter during his fights, and while there are moments when he under-appreciates his friends, he's thankful to have them. He 100% had ADHD, you don’t even need to ask. Danny sometimes feels at odds with his parents, especially due to their desire to hunt ghosts. At an earlier age, Danny connected greatly with his mother, but they grew apart over time. While it seems, he doesn't always feel safe with his parents (as they have on multiple occasions expressed intention to tear Danny Phantom apart).
