Ursula Mercure
During Brasil FurFest 2018, Danny set a challenge for charity campaign. If the convention raised R$ 2,000 during the first two days he would host the Dance Competition as a Drag Queen. The goal was reached and during the Dance Convention, Danny appeared as a female character with a pink wig. The name was auctioned among the attendees and Ursula Mercure was chosen raising additional R$ 200 for charity. The name Ursula was pick to pay a tribute to the famous chubby character from the Little Mermaid movie and Mercure as a tribute to the hotel where Brasil FurFest is hosted. Due to the buzz of the character, Danny created a twitter and a facebook acount for the character.
