Wyld D

Wyld_D was a video stream hosted by Dana, as well as her own user name on the service that carried the stream. The stream entered around Mythic Quest gameplay, and was produced by Brad in the performance of their duties at Mythic Quest Studios.

Originally, Dana's hosting skills were scattershot and, as Brad put it, "boring". She initially struggled even finding the right camera. Her subscriber base was well under 100 for her first few shows. However, she managed to turn it around because of a few changes.

She listened to Rachel's advice to lean into her own "dorkiness". Perhaps the most visible way she did this was to start using her glasses on camera, something Brad had advised against. This and other changes brought her own personality to the fore.

But the biggest change was undoubtedly having something major to stream. She naturally carried the big battle between Ian and the Masked Man, something which made her audience soar to well over a million subscribers.

The backstory for the Wyld D persona was taken from Inside the Caves of Beneroth, a book by C.W. Longbottom. Though clearly fictional, the backstory was something that Dana responded to at a visceral level.
