Personality and Sensitive subjects: The Order of the Crane Mother teaches its members to suppress their emotions in order to better combat the Hand since emotions are distractions that interfere with your focus. They might be monks but they are not kind people by a long shot, nor are they all that different from the Hand cult-ish practices. As a result, this has done a number on Danny.

He has more issues than a magazine stand and suffers from 15 years of untreated PTSD and survivor guilt after seeing his parents die, the plane crash, and being continually abused and fashioned into a weapon. While he's usually calm and friendly, he's also quick to bounce around across the emotional spectrum if the right buttons are pushed because he never had a safe and healthy outlet for them before. The force of nature that is Danny Rand’s enthusiasm is only matched by his anger and sense of guilt when his mood goes south. His temper has a very high threshold but it also hits the hardest once that threshold is breached. His PTSD is shown by his lack of control over his emotions, flashbacks, nightmares and panic/anxiety attacks.

While he's somewhat more cynic post Defender series, sometimes he desperately clings to a rose-colored view of things in his life that were actually really shitty. Such as considering Ward his friend/brother and the monks of K'un Lun the closest thing he had to a functional home because they saved his life.

Danny is often blunt and open, he doesn’t know any other way to exchange information. He rarely has secrets, nor guile or a hidden agenda. What you see is what you get, even if sometimes what you get is, well, a lot. He's not stupid, yet he's prone to making some terrible, terrible decisions that makes one wonder what he was thinking, usually as a result of being a Fish out of Water and being the youngest of the four Defenders. He's somewhat innocent in a very weird way, screws up more than he actually gets shit done because of his immaturity and impulsiveness, and has the common sense of a goat.

However, he's shown to be able to accept criticism and try to fix his mistakes, displays a profound belief in others and he is also very trusting (something he’s come to regret due to nearly everyone betraying him). Having the weight of a world on his shoulders from a young age and never having time to grow up had caused Danny to believe that all the wrongs in the world, and everything bad that happens to anyone at any time is his fault. That aside, he is the cheeriest member among the Defenders despite him having suffered comparable trauma during his youth and apologizes when he gets people hurt.

He's spent his entire life trying to find something to give him purpose, a place to fit in. He felt empty the whole time he was and he wanted to become the Iron Fist not for power, glory, or righteousness, but because he thought that it would help him win the respect of the people who had saved his life and flee the memory of his parents' deaths. No such luck, in the end, that failed to fill the emptiness inside him, he wasn't happy there and when he saw a sign to leave he took it. He decided to go back to New York and his company, thinking that would be it, but that didn't work out because of how out of touch Danny was with the outside world and its rules. Destroying the Hand wasn't as simple as he thought either and in the end, he couldn't do much better than fight to survive.

It's not until after the Hand destroyed that Danny found his real goal: to protect the city of New York in his absence. He realized that he shouldn’t just sit around with all this power, that he could help many people, and that he finally had a place to call home. He's much more calm and mentally balanced after the event of Iron fist s2, and heading to Asia to find Orson Randall and become once again worthy of the Iron Fist. He's more laid back and displays much more maturity than before, as well as more emotionally in control of his temper.
