Canon Point: After Terminal Tokyo was restored and Chosen could go there freely
History: Canon History HereDonatello's life had never been what one would consider normal. But it became even more abnormal when after the failure of his spy roach project, he went to his lab to work, only for his computer to suck him into the Digital World of Digimon. He awakened, to his shock, as a human being and he also met his Digimon partner, a turtle Digimon known as Kamemon. He was shocked to be in a new world, one where he was now a human and therefore no longer having to live in isolation. While it took some time, Donnie began to slowly settle and make friends, one of which being his roommate Fluttershy.
It wasn't long after the arrival that Donnie and Kamemon went to assist on a mission against some Devimon with some other Chosen. But during the fight, he got injured saving Kamemon who had been frozen in fear of his first fight. This made Kamemon realize that he needed to fight and he Digivolved for the first time into Gwappamon. Donnie was taken back to Terminal Tokyo and put on bedrest, much to his frustration. However this led to him meeting a girl named Marley Rose who offered to bring him some items to make him feel better. This caused a friendship to start between them, but neither one knew that it would grow into something else over time despite Donnie still having feelings for April. During the same time as Donnie was nearing a full recovery, his old ally Leatherhead appeared and he began to realize just how much pain and trauma that he was truly under and worked to reach out to him.
At this point, he was fully settled into his routine. He was happy to be able to not hide from society, but he was also very homesick as he was separated from his family longer than he had ever been in his fifteen years of life. During this, he agreed to go into a Dark Zone, a dark area that when one entered, caused traumatic things to happen to them. Donnie went in where he was forced to see a vision of his family being slaughtered by the Foot due to his absence and he was briefly turned into a Turtle again to remind him of his low chances of being accepted into society. He was scarred both mentally and physically during this incident. He eventually found Marley, who had also come in, and was shocked that she wasn't afraid of him. Eventually the other person, Ed, was able to free them all frpm the illusion and Donnie was returned to his human form, but he was severely injured both physically and mentally. He was taken out of the Dark Zone and back to the city to recover.
Marley, also traumatized, went to Donnie to feel better and it also helped Donnie feel better. During this, Marley received her Crest of Kindness and though eh hadn't realized it yet, his feelings or her were growing. While he soon recovered physically, he was still traumatized from seeing his dead family even though he realized that it was probably fake. It led to him working overnight to not have to deal with the nightmares and to cope. Frustrated, Kamemon told Fluttershy and finally Donnie opened up about his fears to her and she comforted him. It helped him feel better though he was still not completely over it. During this time he spent more time with Marley and also discovered that she had an eating disorder that she was afraid to tell him of out of fear of being rejected. He instead was concerned for her and refused to leave her side and their feelings continued to grow into something beyond friendship.
At one point, Donnie was sent back home for a few months where he realized that his family was safe and that time was practically frozen in his world while he was gone. He spent his time fighting the Kraang and Foot and going back to his normal life, believing that all that had happened was a dream. However after defeating the Kraang's Technodrome, he was sent back and realized that it was all real. He able to move on from the Dark Zone now that he knew that no matter what, his family would be safe even with him gone.
At this point, Donnie finally realized that he had fallen in love with Marley, but due to insecurities about his mutant form, Marley having a boyfriend in her world, and his fading but still existent feelings for April, he was afraid to act on it. That all changed when he went to a party that Marley was throwing and she sang a song for him, making him realize that she returned his feelings for her. They kissed on that night, officially getting together and allowing Donnie to get his Crest, the Love Crest. But he also upset a Digimon named Fearless, who had a crush on Marley and he felt bad, but he was also happy to have Marley his girlfriend. Shortly after his younger brother Michelangelo also appeared as he was moving apartments and he was relieved to have a part of his family by his side.
But when moving apartments with Marley's assistance, Fearless confronted them and it led to Kameon fighting him due to his angry behavior. It led to Marley's Digimon stopping it, but the damage had been done. Donnie was angry at Kameon for initiating the fight instead of leaving the matter alone peacefully and for almost killing him, Marley, and Fearless' partner Hiccup during it. Not long after, a blackout struck the city and Digimon began to undergo Dark Digivolutions. Donnie found Hiccup and Fluttershy after Fluttershy's DIgimon, Choco, had been killed by a Dark Digivolved Fearless. To protect them., Kamemon digivolved into Gwappamon despite knowing that he wouldn't live and as a result was killed. Donnie was left devastated, being comforted by Mikey and his Digimon Leader the next day with Donnei choosing to focus his energy on protecting his younger brother. After the blackout, Donnie planned to go out to Primary Village in order to get Kamemon's egg, which Digimon were reverted to after death. He was going to leave Mikey behind, but after it upset him, he comforted him and relented. They and a group of others got their eggs and returned home with Donnie finally giving his Digimon a name: Paolo.
The turtles sixteenth mutation day (birthday) eventually came in which Donnie agreed to throw a party for Mikey despite the rest of the family not being present. However Donnie was feeling sick and Marley escorted him to bed halfway through. Donnie didn;t get nay better, but he wasn't too concerned until sometime later when he retrieved a tape. it was a goodbye message form Marley for if she was ever sent home. He realized that she had been sent home to her world and was devastated before getting angry, realizing that something beyond being sick was wrong with him. Fearing the worst, he gave Paolo (still an egg) to Flutterhsy out of fear of hurting it before Mikey came to comfort him and tuck him in. But when Donnie awoke later, he was no longer the same...
Donatello had been infected by the SCOPE Virus, a virus that caused those infected to act the opposite of themselves. In Donnie's case, he became a sociopath who due to Marley leaving, planned to make his friends and brother surfer. He acted normal to hide his intentions until he was confronted by Leatherhead. Donnie, having realized that the other was in love with Mikey, used this to taunt him into attacking in which he used his naginata to cut open his arm. Mikey later found out and confronted him, in which Donnie dropped the act and outright attacked him. He beat him up until leader came and stopped him, causing him to retreat and plan out his next move. He tried to trick Fluttershy into giving back Paolo, but she saw through it so he decided on another approach.
He one night confronted Fluttershy and demanded Paolo back,. chasing her into the park and breaking her wing to make her talk. He was confronted buy Hiccup who tried to tell him to stop, but Donnie instead killed him. Fluttershy tricked him into checking Tokyo Tower for the egg and he told her to give Mikey a message to met him in a week to end things. During this, word had spread that he had gone insane and one resident, Optimus Prime, confronted and captured him. He eventually escaped,but his good half was now starting to break through but the SCOPE half refused to give back control until he had killed Mikey and everyone else important to him.
A week later, Donnie and Mikey met for their final fight and though Donnie almosto won, his good half brke through and stabbed himself to give Mikey a chance to beat him. He was knocked out and remianed that way for days until the virus was at last out of his system. He woke up sick and he was found by his new Digimon partner, a Monmon (monkey Digimon) named Artemisia, arte for whort, who took his home,. Donnie was filled with guilt and remorse for his actions and he sent Arte to tell Mikey and Fluttershy that he was sorry for his actions. He eventually was well enough to do so himself and he also learned that Hiccup was alive due to the nature of the Digital World healing people and he was also forgiven. Donnie soon made a public apology and began to undergo therapy to recover form the traumatic experience. Fluttershy also returned Paolo to him, who hatched as a baby Diigmon and gave Donnei some peace.
But not all was well. Leatherhead hated him for his actions, though they slowly began to reconcile one they had both calmed,. But a rift formed between brothers with Donnie feeling horrible for harming Mikey and feeling that he wasn't needed by him as he now had Leatherhead and other friends. He believed that the damage had been done. He also broke his leg due to an accident and was out into a cast for a month, On Christmas, Donnie and Mikey finally faced each other and reconciled with Mikey receiving his Kindness Crest also. This finally allowed Donnie start to move on from what had happened and Paolo also returned to being a Kamemon shortly after.
But during New Years, the city was attacked and Donnie was taken out of the city by Paolo. Arte soon told them that the city had been destroyed and they had to retreat to a smaller city called Hospitown. However due to boarding the wrong train, Donnie and his partners ended up lost though he was able to take his cast off during it, They eventually got there, though shortly after Mikey was sent back home which again left Donnie with no family. He was able to keep going with help form his friends but he still felt broken by the events of the SCOPE Virus and left on his own for a while to find himself again. He eventually returned during an incident where copies of people were appearing, including one of him. He confronted it sometime after and discovered that it was acting like his SCOPE Virus self He fought and eventually defeated it, giving him a sense of closure at last though he still would have PTSD from the entire incident.
But shortly after, Donnie was again sent home and this time he didn't know what to make of it. He therefore tried to go on like normal and his feelings for April resurfaced now that he believed that he would never see Marley again. Much happened like mutagen being spread through the city, April briefly leaving the team, a rival named Casey Jones emerging for Donnie, and the discovery that one of their enemies, Karai, was really Master Splinter's daughter. He tried to put the Digital World behind him and he never spoke of ti again to Mikey, not sure if he had his memories of it still or not.
After Karai was captured by the Foot after betraying them, Donnie again found himself taken into the Digital World. Terminal Tokyo had been restored and he and other Chosen now had the ability to go back and forth between worlds. He reunited with many of his friends, including Marley where he learned that her former boyfriend had cheated on her. However he himself is not sure if they can restart their relationship due to his now stronger feelings for April, something that he has failed to voice and their relationship has so far been left at a point that he isn't sure of. He also fears telling her of the SCOPE Virus and still suffers form PTSD despite having accepted that it wasn't his fault and having moved on.
Personality: There are many ways to describe Donatello. Intelligent, nerdy, easily stressed, caring, all of these can apply to the purple-banded mutant turtle. Since he was young, Donnie had a high intellect and a love for learning and inventing which has only grown as he got older. Because he and his mutant family lived in the sewers of New York, Donnie mainly taught himself all that he knows about science from whatever he could find in the sewer or from what his adoptive father could find for him in junkyards and landfills. Due to what he has learned and his willingness to learn it, Donnie has been able to invent things such as his own laptop, cell phone for him and his brothers, a music player, ninja smoke bombs, patrol buggies which look like go-karts, and he was even able to modify a subway car into a battle van. He designs most of the equipment and weapons that his family uses in battle which makes him a useful asset to the team. However despite this, his inventions can go haywire such as in the episode 'Metalhead' where he reverse engineered an alien robot to create his own called Metalhead. It ended in the Kraang taking control of it and nearly killing Leo, Raph, and Mikey until Donnie put a stop to it.
On a good day, Donatello is often optimistic, a little eccentric, and happy. Although he spends most of his time in his lab inventing or working on his laptop, he does like to hang out with his three brothers and do things such as play video games and eat pizza. He and his brothers train in ninjutsu on a daily basis with their father Master Splinter. Although Donnie isn’t as skilled as his brothers, he is still a very skilled ninja/martial artist and is more than capable of handling himself in a fight. He does not like being mocked about his lack of skill, and anyone who does so will get a rather nasty rant from him. He has some trouble fighting on instinct and using quick-thinking as he has thousands of thoughts and idea running through that large head of his, but after he fought a mind-reading scientist in 'Money Brains' he has been improving.
Donnie has a natural good-hearted nature and all the things that he does such as build weaponry or even just keeping power in the Lair he does for their benefit. Due to his technical expertise, he is the one who keeps the Lair up and running such as giving it electricity, keeping the TV running, or even fixing the toaster or video game console when his brothers break them. He does it all in order to be of sue to his family. Because of his caring nature, he also can't bare to see innocent people in danger and do nothing about it, hence why he tried to save April the night that he met her (but having a crush on her helped). He also cares about people that he connects with even if he doesn't really like them, such as when he met a hero wannabe named Timothy aka The Pulverizer. Donnie tried to train him basic martial arts so that he'd at least survive a fight, but it ended in failure. Later down the road TImothy wanted to be mutated and Donnie was unable to stop him, so Timothy is now a giant blob of ooze and Donnie is trying to save him, finding himself responsible for it due to having taught Timothy.
While Donnie is friendly and kind, he is also socially awkward and has a short temper, which is especially bad when being pressured. He is, however, by no means shy or afraid of speaking up when he has something to say, he is just bad at starting and keeping up a conversation which doesn't involve his interests. He is especially awkward around his crush, a human named April O’Neil and he tries hard to impress her, but often fails. Despite his bad traits, Donnie is very loyal to his loved ones and will do anything to protect them. He is very dependable and does whatever he can to help those who count on him, hence why he works very hard on his equipment. But because of how hard he works, he may sometimes over-work himself to the point of exhaustion, but no matter what he never gives up until he simply can’t push himself anymore. When upset, he works in his lab to deal with the stress, which may or may not always help. But no matter what the situation, Donnie can be depended on and he always pulls through.
His time in Terminal Tokyo also changed him in ways. While he is still awkward, he has become better at talking to people and has been able to enjoy no longer having to be isolated from society. He matured to being less irrational and mroe calm and more aware of just what kind of evils existed due to becoming evil himself. He grew to care for his Digimon and his new friends as much as he did his family and it was due to them that he was able to recover from his traumatic experiences and keep going on. He also grew more experienced with love and became less show-offish with his behavior and began to act more natural and like himself.
But he wasn't left without some after effects. He has many scars from his time in the city and he also suffers form PTSD. Though he understands that the SCOPE Virus was not his fault, he still has nightmares over it and he still remembers the vents as though he had done it. There are times where the memories can be triggered and where he needs time alone to get over the mindset. He is settling to a point where he can handle it, having accepted that he will probably suffer from this for the rest of his life and though it's never easy, he's become better at coping with it.
Donatello's time in the Digital World changed him. It matured him, but it also damaged him in ways that he can't ever fix. He is aware that there are things that he can't fully move on from and that he has to live with the mistakes and choices that he has made. But he has generally been able to keep his personality in tact. He is more wise to the world so to speak and has been able to keep moving forward. His experience has overall made him a better person and he therefore has no regrets over this time there.

Again. He had been sent to some crazy world
again. The first time was crazy enough, but at least he was used to human behavior But a world full of ponies? Where he was now a unicorn? That was just… bizzare.
Donatello paced around, his face carrying a thoughtful yet frustrated expression. He hummed to himself every few seconds has he thought through his situation. He had been about to go back home after one of his usual visits to the Digital World, only to end up in Equestria, Fluttershy’s home world, instead. It could be a glitch, Terminal Tokyo just loved to make everything difficult. He was for sure that the Kraang weren’t involved, there was no portal involved and he was fairly sure that they didn’t have a teleporting system, especially since this obviously wasn’t Dimension X. Or it could have been something else all together that brought him hee. But what? And how did he fix it and get home?
“Oh brother, will you quit pacing already?” the teenage unicorn stopped and turned to a blue turtle, who was cowling, “If you know this up then you’re gonna to wear a hole in the ground.”
“Well
excuse me, but pacing helps me think Paolo.” the unicorn said as he glared at the turtle, "I’m trying to figure out how we ended up here and how to get back. Right now is not a good time for me to be sent into another world… again.”
"Do you have any ideas about what brought us here yet Donnie?” the question came from a green owl sitting on a branch above Paolo. The question made Donnie sigh again.
“I have… a few theories, but I don’t know how plausible they are Arte. But if this is anything like it was in the Digital World… we might be stuck here for a while.”
Paolo groaned. “Great, just great. This stinks. I wanna be home dang it!”
“Well now you know how I felt when I was dragged from my world,” replied Donnie in a deadpan tone, “but look, we’ve made it through a tough situation plenty of times before. And this isn’t as bad as… other things,”
He paused for a moment, certain thoughts crossing his mind before resuming his talk. “So let's try to keep calm, find out what to do,a dn get through this. We can do it, okay”
Arte nodded with a smile and though it took a few more seconds, Paolo smirked and also nodded. The unicorn felt his expression perk up. They could do this. They’ve pulled through worst before. If they could survive the Digital World, then they could survive anything.
