In the anime
History
Danika first appeared in Advice to Goh!, when she contacted Gary on his Rotom Phone after receiving the feather of Moltres and awarded him a token with a Mew symbol.
She made her first in-person appearance in Leaping Toward the Dream!, where she explained to Ash and Goh how Project Mew operates, and gave Goh his mission of catching an Alolan Ninetales on Mount Coronet. After Goh had succeeded in the mission, Danika congratulated him on his success and informed him that he was now qualified to start taking on proper Trial Missions.
Danika reappeared in Trial on a Golden Scale!. She was first seen monitoring Ninetales after returning it to its natural habitat. Shortly thereafter she discussed with Quillon about Goh's future in Project Mew. Later, when Goh and Ash were surrounded by Pokémon poacher Nito and his henchmen, Danika intervened and saved them using her Rapid Strike Style Urshifu. Once everything was resolved, Danika handed Goh his first Project Mew Token and encouraged him to continue giving his best.
In Looking Out for Number Two!, Danika received a message from Goh, informing her that he had completed his second Trial Mission. She sent him a token before joining Quillon in facing a Regirock as it emerged from the ruins before them.
In Battling in the Freezing Raid!, Danika, along with Quillon, was seen evaluating the performance of Goh, Gary, and Horace's Raid Battle against an Articuno.
Danika personally monitored the Sea Mauville battle royale in Narrowing the Chaser Chase!. After informing the rules to the participating Challengers, at a certain point in the mission she released some Pokémon as obstacles to make the mission difficult. When Horace becomes the winner of the mission, Danika and Quillon passed the results of the participants of that moment and warned that the period for evaluation was about to end.
In Chasing to the Finish!, Danika supervised one of the last Trial Missions, which was won by Horace. After the mission was completed, she joined Quillon at the Split-Decision Ruins to see the conclusion of the other last mission, which Goh and Gary successfully cleared.
In A Flood of Torrential Gains!, Danika met with the other members of Project Mew in Slateport City to begin the final expedition.
In The Mew from Here! and In the Palms of our Hands!, Danika and the other members of Project Mew explored Faraway Island in their search for Mew, eventually succeeding in finding it. After this, Project Mew was disbanded.
In JN136, Danika was seen holding a Cubchoo whilst Quillon was healing a Beartic that was injured. This scene was not included in the episode's English dubbed version.
Character
Unlike Quillon, Danika is far more welcoming and friendly, encouraging Goh to give his best. However, she also has a subtle harsh streak to her, seen when she forced Goh and Horace to battle each other to determine the winner of the Sea Mauville Trial Mission. In battle, her most friendly posture is left aside in favor of calm confidence, even choosing several opponents for battle and disqualifying the Pokémon Hunters as soon as she arrived at the place.
