Danelle had long red hair and wore tight-fitting black armor.[3] A story told to misbehaving children said that on moonless nights giant bats would fly from Harrenhal and take the bad children back to Mad Danelle.[1]
History
When Lord Brynden Rivers, the Hand of the King to Aerys I Targaryen, marched on Whitewalls to quash the Second Blackfyre Rebellion, Lady Danelle was among the riverlords who come in support, marching in great strength.[3]
