Personality:
Danny is kind-hearted, a bit socially awkward, and deeply loyal to his friends and family. Though he has a quieter demeanor, he can be surprisingly firm when standing up for what he believes in, like when he defends David during the breakup with Tina. He's incredibly detail-oriented and has an impressive memory, especially for things that interest him. Danny's friends appreciate his down-to-earth perspective and reliability. He enjoys one-on-one interactions more than big social gatherings but forms strong friendships with a close circle.

Danny often acts as a confidante for the older residents on the street, like Ken and Blanche, listening to their stories and occasionally offering his own unique insights. He is known for his calm, steady presence but can be impulsive and let his emotions take over when something deeply affects him, such as his frustration with Tina's treatment of David.

Appearance:
Danny has a clean, boy-next-door look, with short, slightly messy dark hair and a lean build. He prefers comfortable, casual clothing, often wearing plaid shirts or hoodies with jeans. He always wears a bracelet his dad made for him as a kid, which he finds grounding. His expressive face and gentle smile make him approachable, and his eyes often give away his emotions before he speaks.

Catchphrase:
"Just gotta take it one thing at a time, yeah?"
This phrase reflects his need to process things slowly and carefully, a reminder to himself and sometimes his friends to pace themselves, especially when emotions run high.

Danny would bring a caring, reliable presence to the street, navigating friendships and family loyalty while staying true to himself. Let me know if you'd like any adjustments!
