Dana was always a loud and out going kid, never actually cared about what people thought of her, because she knew her confidence was something that got her places. People used to say her confidence inspired them to be confident. At school she was miss popular, but not miss popular because she was a bitch, yes she was head cheerleader and she enjoyed that role of bossing people around and she knew some people used to be jealous of her and she could be loud and bitchy or more like sarcastic, she did care for people and she was always trying to help people. Although at school it seemed like she had the perfect life, the life people wanted, she felt alone, she was never close to her parents, she was always the one who was ignored, everything overshadowed her. All she ever wanted was her mom and dad to love her and she never felt like she got that.
Dana never had any luck in the boys department, it wasn’t that she never tried but in high school she was always busy with Cheer and trying to work on future fashion ideas and being good friends to her two best friends, that trying to date wasn’t really in her books. She didn’t mind the hook ups from time to time but she never actually held a long time relationship, she hated the ideas of being vulnerable with a guy who could easily break her heart. When it came to friends, Dana was very much a loyal one, she cared so much for everyone on her cheer team but her two closest friends, she wouldn’t change them for the world and she knew they would do anything for her and she knew no matter what they were her family as well as her best friends. Although Dana never did relationships, she had one problem, her best friends boyfriend through high school, she grew feelings for him. He became very good friends with her and she was very much a person who happily opened up to him and he was the first person she ever grew feelings for and it crushed her because her loyalty kept her from even thinking of doing anything with the guy.
When Dana graduated high school, she got accepted into NYU to study English literature and it was everything she ever dreamed of, she loved the city and the lights, the night life and the course she was studying, it was perfect no matter what. She did miss her friends from home and they were all so busy that it was hard for her to be away from them but she accepted it to make her dream, she knew she would eventually move back home afterwards for a bit maybe if her dreams hadn’t come true beforehand. Dana grew up in Providence Peak and it was home for her, and there was always times she would miss it, she would think about days by the beach and with her friends but all the time she had to remember why she moved to New York and what she was doing it for. Whilst at college she let her guard down for the first time and became more vulnerable with a guy that she never expected too. She didn’t want to but he was someone she felt comfortable around and felt like she should probably try things with him.
Dana and Michael who was from London, UK were dating from her Junior year of college until two years after they graduated. Michael was the reason Dana stayed in New York partly. They were happy for a long time, then Michael proposed, why Dana freaked out she didn’t know, wouldn’t any girl want to be proposed to? She ended up saying not now, she wasn’t ready and that broke their relationship. Dana regretted saying no but she was so not ready to be engaged, she hadn’t even got anywhere in her dream, she was just working a bar job for the whole time since she was a Senior at college, how could she think about marriage when she wasn’t even sure where her future was going. Dana stayed an extra two years until she was 26 in New York before she realised it was probably time she went home, nothing was happening for her and she felt lost that she needed to go home to have a moment of clarity.
Since Dana has been back, she felt herself again, she felt like she was no longer lost, she had a passion for designing and she had started sending them off to see where it could go. It was something she worked hard on. She is now teaching at Providence Peak University, she never expected to be doing that because she had hoped to write her own book or do something else with what she had studied but she decided that she needed a job and fell into teaching and fell in love with it
