Denny was a de-harnessed teenager, that fought with the Skitter Rebellion before the rebel skitters were wiped out.

She becomes good friends with Ben Mason, and when the equipment is discovered which can remove spikes, Denny makes the decision to keep her spikes. She continues to fight with the 2nd Mass, however her fate remains unknown when she is lost during a mission, when a portable harness farm sweeps the area. She returns back to the 2nd Mass, and is killed during a mission to find an Overlord.

"At All Costs"[]

Some time later, Denny and Ben were given the chance, along with other partially deharnessed kids, to have their spikes removed. Denny attempts to convince Ben to get his spikes removed with her. Initially he agrees but starts to see their importance, he says he wouldn’t blame Denny for wanting to get her spikes removed. Ben claims he would still like Denny with glasses, she calls him a liar. Ben later goes to see her at the de-harnessing machine to give her a pair of glasses. Denny sneaks up behind him and reveals she changed her mind on removing her spikes. She then takes the glasses and snaps them in half. Later, her and Ben, using their glasses, sit and point out various stars.
