'''Daniel:''' I decided to get away from it all, get away from Bree and Jonas, and just come out here and...and just film. Just get back to my roots, you know? It's just been crazy around the house and I'm kind of sick of dealing with it all, so.... Bree's been busy trying to get Jonas to forgive her, it's a, it's 24/7 entertainment. She tried to get me to talk to him for her, but...well, if you had free pay-per view, would you tell the cable company? Come on. I mean, really, she got herself into this mess, she can get herself out. I'm sure he'll forgive her...eventually. There's all these amazing photographs on the walls, all over the house. I was sort of nosing around the den and I came across this photo journal thing. I gotta tell you, Jonas's aunt, she's a, she's kind of an interesting woman. She's not much older than us, either. Basically, when she was in high school, she did this semester at sea thing. That's where you sail around the world with just a bunch of kids. You learn how to tie knots and stuff. I don't know, I thought it was cool. I always wanted to do something like that. I mean, I didn't like our high school, which is probably why Bree and I got along so well, and I hated our town. I don't know, I just think It'd be cool to sail out toward the horizon and.... Looking at her photo journal just got me thinking of how unnatural our lives have become. I mean, I used to want to be a filmmaker. Now it's... I don't know, there's pretty much no chance of that. Unless I turn this into some sort of documentary or something, I don't know. If only the Order paid us, paid us to be on the run, that would be great. If Jonas's aunt turns out to be a nice person, I might ask her to teach me some photography. She's got a sick camera. Maybe she'd let me take some pictures with her, or with it. It doesn't really hurt that she's kind of cute. Okay, really cute, all right, she's hot. I just feel like, I don't know, quit planning for the future and kind of enjoy life as it comes. I guess I should head back to the house now and see if bitter and bitterer are getting along yet. Probably not. What are they gonna do without D.B.?

==Notes==
*Daniel is near the [[water]], which some fans believe symbolizes imminent danger.
*The location this is filmed at is adjacent to Zuma beach known as "Free Zuma," or Westford Beach.
*Daniel pronounces the word "aunt" with a slight accent, showing his Virginia roots.
*Some have speculated that Daniel's last sentence hints at something bad happening to him in the future.
*The background to the video is a rockface covered in a species of {{wikipedia|Sedum}}.
*On the preview picture of the video, it shows [[Bree]] in a bedroom blog. She is actually not even close to her home which is odd.

'''Daniel''' a.k.a. '''Danielbeast''' or '''Beast''' is [[Bree]]'s best friend, (on and off) love interest, and the co-star of the Lonelygirl15 [[List of Lonelygirl15 videos|video series]].
His first videos were initially made in [[Daniel's bedroom|his bedroom]].

==Plot Background==
Daniel graduated from high school in June 2006 and had a graduation party which Bree was not allowed to attend. When summer began, he taught Bree how to make video blogs and was the one who set up her YouTube account. As the summer progressed, Daniel urged Bree to rebel against her strict parents and was concerned about her religion and the ceremony she was supposed to partake in later that year.

Like many fans, Daniel began to investigate Bree's religion and even decided to follow her around and record her actions, even after Bree had asked him [[My Helper|not to do so.]] On both these occasions [[Lucy]] took Bree somewhere; once to a nearby park for what appeared to be a practice session for the upcoming ceremony and then a trip to a medical complex.

Daniel later broke into Lucy's apartment. He found on her computer pictures of himself. He became worried and posted a video on the subject. His worries had finally been reflected onto Bree, causing her to question her [[Hymn of One|religion]].

When her parents disappeared with the local Deacons, Bree went [[On The Run|on the run]] with Daniel. As a result, Daniel dropped out of school at a junior college, where he was taking film classes, and he left his job at [[Gas 'n Eats]] to accompany Bree.

For the next few months they lived out of Daniel's car, several motels, and even off the streets before coming to [[Jonas]]'s aid in the winter of 2006. While Bree chose to go to Jonas, Daniel chose to go home before ultimately changing his mind and joining Bree and Jonas at [[Christmas Surprise|Christmas]].

In January 2007, Daniel was kidnapped by the Order. The Order used a drugged Daniel in the video [[Miss Me?]], to convince Bree to do the ceremony. Bree and Jonas successfully rescued Daniel and ultimately [[The Human Ransom|foiled the Order's plans]] with the help of [[Tachyon]] and [[Brother]].

After being rescued, Daniel traveled with Jonas and Bree through California, Las Vegas, Mexico, and Texas. Throughout their traveling, Daniel had a tendency to become [[inebriated]] (as noted in [[Uncle Dan]], [[Vegas, Baby!]], [[Spring Break Sucks]], and [[Intervention]]). Before arriving in Texas however, Daniel claimed he was [[Quitting The Sauce|sober once more]] (Daniel's previous [[Drinking Problems|period of sobriety]] followed his rescue from the Order).

He has returned home after the events of the season finale, and has said that he [[My Parents Suck Too|will no longer be blogging]].

==Relationships==
Beginning with [[Boy Problems...]], Daniel's potential romance with Bree has been on and off. Over the course of the series, Daniel's relationship with her has come as close as [[Bree And I Hooked Up|"hooking up"]] and as far as Bree asking Daniel to stop following her.

Daniel is much more social than Bree, having been known to go to parties, which he had coerced Bree into sneaking out to go to. Two of his other friends have been named, [[Paul]] and [[Andrea]].

Since Bree has rejected many of Daniel's advances, Daniel began to show a [[relationships#Daniel and Alex|romantic interest]] in Jonas's Aunt [[Alex]]. This ended soon after it was revealed that she was still involved with the Order.

Recently, in response to the somewhat aggressive advances of [[Sarah]], Daniel is seen seemingly enjoying the attention and flirting, possibly hinting at a growing mutual affection.

As for Daniel's family, his parents don't have much influence on him, due at least in part to a history of [[inebriated|alcoholism]], to which Daniel seems to have inherited. His parents' alcoholism also meant that Daniel spent more time with his [[Comfort Food|grandmother]], which he did until she died.

==Notes==
*Daniel apparently has two cameras. One is a webcam that shoots videos in the standard 4:3 format. The other is a mini-DV handheld that shoots videos in the 16:9 letterbox format. We have seen the webcam in a mirror in the video "What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?" and Jonas mentions receiving a tape from Daniel via Bree in the video "Your Decision." Interestingly, Jonas also appears to own both a 4:3 tethered webcam and a 16:9 handheld videocam.

*One of Daniel's better skills is breaking and entering. He has shown this questionable talent when breaking into Lucy's apartment, into a local warehouse, into Alex's Mexican condo, and recently at a Texan hospital. His response, [[Lying Bastards|"It's all I know how to do really, I guess."]]

===Etymology===
Daniel is a Biblical name from Hebrew (דניאל) meaning "God is my judge." This is the name of the prophet whose story is told in the [[Bible|Book of Daniel]]. One of the stories tells how the prophet Daniel saw visions of supernatural "beasts". These comparisons have been drawn by LG15 fans because Daniel's username on YouTube/Revver, as well as his nickname in the videos is 'Danielbeast'.
