Dana

Dana is one of the main protagonists of Paleoart. She is Nathaniel's friend and partner on his time trips.

Appearance
Dana belongs to a currently unnamed species of Unenlagiinae. She is bipedal with a long snout, thin body and tapering tail. Her hands and feet are fitted with sharp claws, including "sickle claws" on her big toes. Except for her snout and lower legs, her entire body is covered with feathers, including wings on her arms and a large tail fan. Most of her body is brown, except for her underbelly, which is white.

Personality
Dana, despite being a dinosaur, has a very human-like personality. She is bubbly, optimistic, and extremely curious, to the point where she would stalk someone that appears interesting to her. She also doesn't take kindly to anyone or anything that blocks her from achieving her full potential. When she identifies someone who is mean to her, she will take revenge on them. Despite this, she has a kind heart, and would be more than ready to help others achieve their dreams.

Abilities
Due to being cloned from a contaminated sample, Dana has the knowledge and abilities of a teenage human, the most notable of which is the ability to talk. Because her inadvertent donor is an artist, she is also very creative and artistic. She can use these abilities no matter the situation, whether to inspire others or to unsuspectingly lead her enemies to their doom. As a dinosaur, she also has an enhanced sense of smell. Additionally, she can produce pieces of amber from her feathers that can bring inaminate objects to life or create superheroes.

Nathaniel Antonio/Artist
Nathaniel was the first human Dana saw once she escaped into the real world. Once she found out he was an artist too, they immediately bonded. She helped Nathaniel come up with the idea to travel back in time for his book. Their bond only grew stronger when she brought Mousey and Pen to life. Nathaniel, now Artist thanks to her, ended up trusting her as the copilot of his time machine.

Mousey and Pen
Dana brought Mousey and Pen to life. Dana treats them both as friends and her daughters.

Government scientists
Although thankful for them for bringing her to life, Dana despised Gabriele and his team once she learned of their intentions. She particularly hates Irene and Pepper for forcing intelligence tests on her and Gabriele for authorizing her torture and hiding it from the public.

Season 1
Before the events of "Adventure of a Lifetime", she was cloned in a secret lab underneath the Front Gate Diner. She was tested for her intelligence, but once she found what it was for, she rebelled and escaped. She managed to follow Nathaniel to his house, eventually becoming his partner and bringing his OC's to life.

Trivia

 * Dana's species is a real-life animal known from a preserved tail found in Southeast Asian amber. It doesn't have a name yet, but the specimen is known as DIP-V-15103 and paleontologist blogger Mickey Mortimer suggests it might be a unenlagiine.
 * Likewise, Dana's design is based on Rahonavis, a feathered dinosaur that some believe is also a unenlagiine.
 * User:Atlantis536 made Dana a Rahonavis relative because these animals are thought to have been able to walk, swim, and fly.
 * As stated in "Adventure of a Lifetime", Dana's name is a pun on "dinosaur" ("Dana-saur"), but it also calls to mind the Canadian animated series Dino Dana.
