Funfact!

Daniel has 2 main fears - Becoming a full-fledged cyberman again and deep water. The first one has pretty obvious reasons, but the second actually stems from a deep set fear drowning and deep water. 

It started with his great uncle who had been a deep-sea diver and died at sea during one of his dives. Being an imaginative child, Daniel was terrified by the idea of sinking into the deep, dark ocean, never to return. This fear remains with him and is even amplified by his condition cyberman. After all, metal doesn’t float.

The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.

“Emotions give us freedom.

Freedom to choose, Freedom to be, Freedom to feel.

Freedom is fragile. Fragility is weak. Are it’s possessors weak?

No. It must be protected and one must be strong to protect their freedom.”

- Daniel Richards, leader of the AntiCybers

One of the cute things about Daniel is that in his early days with the Miser family (Cleo’s family), he considered things like first aid and parts of home ec. “repairs”. Like, if his sweatshirt got a hole or something needed to be glued back together, he’d bring it in for “repairs”. Then, when whatever it was he brought was fixed, he’d announce that the item had been “repaired” or, if he was the one who fixed it, he’d announce that “Repairs are/were complete”.

This made him really popular with Cleo’s twin brothers, Henry and Bartholomew, who thought it was a hoot when he talked that way about stuff.
