One of the most entertaining features of DA used to be their captions, or whatever remark accompanied the artwork.
It used to be that if someone posted a picture of an elf, say, and the caption was 'Dani', well it could be:
(1) An elf called Dani. This is the least likely possibility!
(2) It was a cosplay. Someone called Dani had dressed up as an elf.
I can't think of anything else it could be! A friend of the artist's, who looked a lot like an elf? A character from popular culture—a TV show or Anime, or a game, called Dani?
Why is (1) so unlikely? Because Dani is the root of a Biblical name, Daniel (and it's feminine form, Danielle or Daniela), and I've seldom—never, actually—seen stories featuring the fae, with Judaeo-Christian given names! It's not a law, but there are traditions; the stories have to be plausible, after all.
(2) is unlikely as well, simply because AI has made cosplay very uncommon. Or maybe I'm just not being shown any cosplay on DA.
