Daisy is an intelligent and analytical young woman, who has a passion and attraction to dinosaurs and paleontology. Even before discovering herself to be a descendant of dinosaur she felt a strong connection to dinosaurs and related to the idea of "trying to be human". This passion later manifests itself as the growing desires of a "reptile brain" inspired by exposure to the parallel world. It is only her relationship with Luigi that grounds her humanity and prevents her from completely losing herself to those urges. | |||

Meanwhile, [[Spike (film character)|Spike]] and [[Iggy (film character)|Iggy]], Koopa's bumbling henchmen, sit in their car eating "dog" while discussing their failure to capture the right "girl." It is then that Iggy notices Daisy crossing the street and decide that she's the girl they have failed to locate. They begin to tail her, attempting to snatch her on the street only to be thwarted by their own stupidity. Daisy continues, unaware of the attempt on her life and arrives at a payphone currently being used by [[Luigi (film character)|Luigi]], who, stunned by her beauty, offers its use to her. | Meanwhile, [[Spike (film character)|Spike]] and [[Iggy (film character)|Iggy]], Koopa's bumbling henchmen, sit in their car eating "dog" while discussing their failure to capture the right "girl."

Unfortunately, Daisy soon finds that the university cannot increase their security. Dismayed, she approaches Luigi and his brother [[Mario (film character)|Mario]] to thank them for allowing her use of the phone. Mario, realizing his younger brother's infatuation with the girl, offers her a ride back to the dig site. Unsure of the offer, Daisy notices Spike and Iggy watching her from their car and accepts the brothers' offer, believing them safer than the two men she suspects are Scapelli's goons. The three talk along the way and get to know each other enough for Daisy to accept a dinner invitation from Luigi for later that night. | Unfortunately, Daisy soon finds that the university cannot increase their security.
