Dana is the chief of SPOON and harbors a violent attitude towards criminals, especially towards KNIFE.
Appearance[]
Dana is a woman of medium stature who possesses shoulder-length black hair and sharp, red eyes. Like her sister Hyena, her biological hair color is pink but she has it dyed black. It was also longer during her first years in SPOON, as seen when she rescued child Guineung, but she shortened her hair afterwards.
Though Dana is female, she is often mistaken as male due to her menacing look and the clothes she wears. She often sports Hawaiian floral shirts under a standard suit, a look associated with gangsters in Korea.
In Chapter 42, Dana went undercover as a man by simply wearing glasses, rolling up her sleeves, and putting her hair into a ponytail. This was proven to work as Donna's father stated, "He seemed good enough to seduce Donna's stepmom".
Personality[]
Dana has a legendary short temper, earning her the nickname "Mad Dog" among her peers. She will not hesitate to beat up her subordinates when she is mad. Even when she is not upset, she is perceived as incredibly scary to the point dogs faint when she glares. Still, despite this short fuse, she is quite sensible - she is capable of keeping her temper in check when necessary and is willing to admit any of her wrongdoings immediately.
She has a considerable understanding of the human psyche and is able to use it effectively, such as managing to reel Naga into SPOON by bribery.
Despite her just nature, she still engage in dishonest deeds, such as gambling, and not taking responsibility for certain things, i.e. when Dune made Naga temporarily lose his powers. However, Dana sincerely cares for her subordinates in addition to helping those in need.
Background[]
During her high school days, Dana used her super strength for fighting criminals alongside Dune. This famous crime-fighting of hers led to her being approached by the ex-chief of SPOON. She agreed on the condition that she was to be the Vice-Chief. In addition to her famous crime-fighting with Dune, she and Dune are also seen with Judas in her flashbacks. They all went to the same high school together, though only Dune and Dana ended up in the superhero industry.
After graduation, she and Judas decided to dye their hair black without telling the other, which led to a fight. She in particular dyed it because she was made fun for its color. Dana was a prodigy who garnered attention from police and criminals alike. While she was a teenage Hero, she became why Villains have the unspoken rule of "never harm a hero's family" because one group of criminals who she stopped in the past, attempted revenge by harming her family, which resulted in her being so aggravated that she destroyed three crime syndicates in a single day.
When she joined what was going to become SPOON, she and Rosy went to do a Pet Shop inspection, there she tricked the attendant to offer them captured Hybrids. After rescuing a crane Hybrid woman, she destroyed a door and found Guineung with a collar around his neck causing him to bleed. After freeing him she took him in and became her assistant.
With Guineung in her care, she and Guineung went to do an Abilities test where she would be shot by a missile. By accident, Guineung came with her when she was getting shot, and because of his Ability, through holding her hand he survived but was extremely sick afterwards.
While out with Guineung at a bank, they are held hostage by bank robbers, during this event they discover Naga who is also held hostage and trying to knock out one of the robbers. The two try to lead Naga to aim for the solar plexus, which he fails to target. Naga realizes that he could simply destroy the guns and does so and teleports away, but not before Dana and Guineung take note of his school uniform and nametag.

She often tries to hide her bad habits, like gambling, from him. Although Osu treats her kindly, it is unknown if he reciprocates her feelings.
