Dani becomes one of the most important people in Rahne's life. Their friendship also has an unusual advantage: Dani can communicate with Rahne through the animal side of her power when she's in wolf form. Rahne can be judgmental, especially when she's frightened. Illyana being involved with actual demons doesn't exactly put her at ease. But there's a compassionate kid underneath all that fear, and you see it in how she treats people who need help. Look at Warlock's arrival in New Mutants #21. The others are dealing with a strange, starving alien whose body can change into practically anything. Rahne is willing to get close enough to help him recharge. She doesn't need him to look human before she can care what happens to him. Then Asgard gives her something she certainly wasn't expecting: Hrimhari, a wolf prince who loves her. For somebody who has been taught that her own nature is something shameful, that's a very different experience. She still chooses to return to Earth with her friends.
