Character Info:
Name: Donatello Hamato
Age: 15 in canon, 17 with game history
AU/PG/CANON/OC: TMNT (2012), PG (Terminal Tokyo, My Little Jamrar)
Summary:
First, aim to list 5-7 bullet points of the history of your character.
If Donatello could be described in one word, it would be genius. Donnie is a very intelligent and hard-working teenager who devotes himself to mainly inventing and anything scientific related. He excels at all forms of science but mechanics is by far where he most excels at. Due to his choice of interests, Donnie is very logic oriented and accuracy obsessed, never hesitating for a moment to correct someone if their facts aren’t straight. He can be nit-picky and an overachiever, often working to relieve stress and simply because he enjoys it, though he can go to the point of exhausting and disregarding himself. But he does that all with the best if intentions, he can just go over-board.
Outside the genius field, Donnie is a friendly and good-hearted person who tries to do the right thing and is very devoted to his loved ones. He can be very stubborn and sarcastic, especially towards his brothers, and it is easy for him to become irritated and start shouting out of nowhere. He is also incredibly awkward, especially around those he gets a crush on, but his loyalty and devotion to others also very prominent. While he displays great confidence with his scientific interests, he’s not as confident over his ninja abilities despite being a very capable fighter, something that he has improved on by using his intellect and scientific ability to make up for the physical strength that he lacks. But for all of his flaws, Donnie’s love for his family and friends has ever wavered and he will do anything for those that he cares about, even if it costs him everything.
The teenager’s life has by no means been easy and he’s learned many hard lessons in his life. He’s learned how to take responsibility for his actions, but also that he can’t save everyone that he cares about. He’s had to accept that doing the right thing isn’t always the easiest thing and at times you have to do things that you’ll regret, such as leaving a friend to die. He has insecurities over his status as a mutant and fears that his crush April, will reject him because of him being a ‘mutant freak’. The most difficult thing for him however is learning to cope with guilt, having caused April to briefly hate him and his brothers for accidently mutating her father and his stubbornness causing his oldest brother, Leo, to be put in a near death state as well as nearly all of New York being mutated. Donnie’s had many trials and hardships, but he’s also learned from them and he tries to not repeat those same mistakes.
His time in the Digital World and an alternate Equestria has also changed Donnie in many ways. He experienced love with Marley Rose who he considers his true love, but also had to deal with the heartache when she was sent back home. He has learned how to live on his own without needing his family, even though he’d still rather be home with them. But by far the harshest lesson came in the Digital World when he was infected with a virus and became a homicidal nutcase who severely hurt his friends, one being his own brother, and actually heartlessly killed one friend named Hiccup (though he came back to life). After being freed of it, Donnie was guilt-stricken and severely traumatized from the experience and memories of what he had done to the point that he took therapy to work through it. Despite being forgiven and having mostly recovering from the trauma, Donnie still has PTSD from the experience and when in Equestria, came to realize that he would never truly be over it no matter how many times he’s told that it isn’t his fault. Something that he has come to accept and has decided to do whatever it takes to prevent a repeat of what had happened.
The universal travel was by no means easy, but at the same time it allowed Donnie to mature and grow. He worked through his awkwardness due to his love for Marley and has a much better time expressing and understanding his feelings. He’s made friends who have helped him through his troubles and he fully understands how powerful friendship is and how much he needs it in his life. He has become more independent and mature from having to be on his own and while he misses his family greatly, he knows that he can survive without them. Being in Equestria helped him put to rest the past experiences in the Digital World, such as meeting an alternate version of himself who went through much worst and going through a time where his closest friend, Fluttershy, was ponynapped by an evil entity. These experiences let Donnie realize that he can live with his demons even if hell never get over them and still be troubled by them and that he needs to accept that horrible things will happen, but despite it he has to keep moving forward and continuing on with his life if he wants to be of any use to those that he cares for. When briefly reunited with Marley, he accepted that they’d be separated by dimensions, but that he can still love her and not let the heartbreak hurt him forever.
Overall, Donnie is many things. He’s intelligent and good-hearted, but awkward and irritable. He’s a talented fighter, but not the best. He’s experienced some of the worst, but has become better as a person due to it. Donatello is not perfect and he’ll be the first to admit that and he won’t deny his faults. But with his experiences both his own world and the alternate worlds, Donnie has learned to accept his faults and has gone from an awkward and over-achieving teenager to a mature and grounded young man who is capable of accepting responsibility for what he does and learning from his experiences to become a better person for those that need him.
Gem Considerations: Donnie’s gem would be an Amethyst. It would be in the shape of an oval and on Donnie’s forehead. The Amethyst, since it is known to be an inventor’s stone, would allow Donnie to flourish with his inventing abilities and be able to create new ideas and how to create them quickly and effectively. The gem would also help him when he feels stressed or irritated as well as let him relax and not over-work himself to death. It will allow him to mature, learn to control himself, and let him take better care of himself than he may have before becoming a Gem.
Power considerations:
Donnie has no abnormal powers in canon, so the powercap won’t affect him at all. Having powers however will take him by surprise, though having had magic in Equestria he’s no stranger to the concept. He’d work hard in order to learn to control his powers and to use them effectively.

Summary:
First, aim to list 5-7 bullet points of the history of your character.
- Donatello, along with his brothers, were bought in a petstore as babies by a ninja master named Hamato Yoshi. But an accident caused an alien substance to mutate Yoshi into a giant rat and the Turtles became anthropomorphic with human intellect. Yoshi, renaming himself Splinter, fled to the sewers and chose to raise the Turtles as his sons. He also taught them ninjutsu as they made a home out of an abandoned subway station and remained there for fifteen years.
- On the family’s fifteenth Mutation Day, Splinter allowed them to go topside. While enjoying the freedom, Donnie spotted a girl named April O’Neil and immediately fell for her. When she and her father were attacked, he and his brothers tried to stop it, but failed. Donnie, knowing that the family needed to be saved, convinced Splinter to let them try and they discovered that the men are aliens named Kraang who also caused their mutation. They successfully rescued April, promising her that they would find her father no matter what.
- The brothers continued to fight the Kraang as well as ninjas known as the Foot Clan who are led by Shredder, Splinter’s rival. Donnie had some doubts over his fighting abilities, even going as far as to create a robot named Metalhead to fight for him. But overtime he came to accept his abilities as well as feeling more comfortable with his position on the team. Even after losing to Shredder for the first time, he found solace in working and putting focus on his scientific abilities which helped him cope.
- Donnie, upon creating a battle vehicle known as the Shellraiser with a Power Cell that they got earlier, encountered a hero wannabee known as The Pulverizer who ended up in the Lair. Donnie, worried for his safety, tried to teach him basic self defense so that he at least wouldn’t get killed. His efforts failed and upon losing the Power Cell, Donnie dismissed him, but not without taking responsibility for his faults as Splinter advised him to do. They failed to retrieve the Power Cell, but DID discover that the Kraang planned to mutate the planet and need April for unspecified reasons.
- After a failed spy attempt, Donnie returned to his lab, only for his computer to suddenly suck him into the Digital World of Digimon. He woke up as a human and met his Digimon, a Turtle he later named Paolo. He slowly adjusted, making friends and eventually falling in love with a girl named Marley Rose, It wasn’t easy with him constantly homesick and at one point going into a Dark Zone that traumatized him due to horrific visions, but he eventually recovered.
- Donnie was sent home for a brief time and lost his memory of the Digital World. He again encountered Pulverizer, who unfortunately got mutated due to desiring to be a hero even though Donnie tried to stop it. He and his brothers finally saved April’s father and moved to stop a Kraang invasion. Though they destroyed their headquarters, they couldn’t stop their powerful spacecraft known as the Technodorme from attacking.abducting people and planned to sue April, who they managed to capture, to finish their plans. Luckily, the Turtles saved her and brought down the Technodrome, saving the planet. Donnie was sent back to the Digital World after this was accomplished.
- After being sent back, Donnie realized his feelings for Marley and they confessed at a karaoke party. Donnie’s brother Mikey also arrived, making Donnie happy. But problems soon arrived with the city temporarily blacking out and Paolo being killed by a Dark Digivolved Digimon named Fearless, who also liked Marley and was enraged by the new couple. Donnie retrieved Paolo’s egg while also trying to care for Mikey.
- Unknown to Donnie, he had been infected with a SCOPE Virus which causes people to act the opposite of themselves. Though he realized that something was wrong, he didn’t realize what until Marley had been sent home. He kept control long enough to give his friend Fluttershy Paolo’s egg, but he turned into a homicidal maniac and attempted to murder his loved ones, including Mikey. He severely injured others, including Fluttershy, and successfully murdered one named Hiccup though the Digital World restored him to life. He was eventually defeated by Mikey and was out cold until the virus left his system. He was left severely traumatized and his new Digimon, Artemisia, had to care for him alongside the recently hatched baby Paolo. Even after recovering and being forgiven, these actions continue to haunt Donnie.
- The city, Terminal Tokyo, was eventually destroyed and Donnie lived in another city until again returned home with his memory erased. The Kraang were active again and shipping mutagen which accidentally spilled over the city. April’s father was mutated and she broke away form the Turtles, which upset Donnie and he therefore worked to create a retromutagen. He was also forced to freeze Pulveriser when he went insane, possibly permanently, which has upset him. Eventually April reconciled with the Turtles and returned to them. Donnie also saw her friend Casey Jones, who he became jealous of and was far from pleased when he became part of the team, but they slowly became friends.
- The Turtles eventually were informed that one of their enemies, Shredder’s daughter named Karai, is actually Splinter’s kidnapped daughter and therefore their sister. She eventually went to them, acting like she believed it to find the Lair before Splinter showed her proof of the truth. She was captured, but despite being rescued her drive for revenge led her to be mutated. Donnie, who at that point had perfected the retromutagen and had saved April’s dad, was doubtful if he could cure Karai.
- Once again, Donnie alongside his Digimon were sent to another universe, this time a land called Equestria where he regained his Digital World memories and was made into a unicorn, Paolo a normal turtle, and Arte an owl. Along with Fluttershy, Donnie encountered others, most nitpicky an alternate version of himself who he eventually learned was very troubled. It wasn’t long before he got sent home again however where another Kraang invasion happened, this time being successful with Donnie injuring his arm, his brother Leo being horribly injured and near death, Splinter possibly being drowned by Shredder, and him, his brothers, and friends being forced to leave New York to not be mutated. He felt immense guilt as he insisted on staying while Leo wanted to flee, which he believes caused everything to happen.
- It was right after fleeing that Donnie was sent back to Equestria where his Digimon, Fluttershy, and Don (his alternate self) helped him cope with the events. Fed up with the constant back and forth between universes and worried for his family, Donnie attempted to create a portal to go back home but only succeeded in blowing up a rooftop. Other events such as being frozen due to Windigos and being trapped in a dream world occurred, where he further learned the horrors that Don went through due to being in the Hunger Games, which has caused him to decide to do whatever he possibly can to ensure that his ‘brother’ won’t suffer like that again upon waking up. He also briefly was able to phase through objects due to an experiment of Don’s going wrong which killed another roof, much to his annoyance.
- As he worked on a second portal prototype, Donnie learned that some ponies, which included Don and Fluttershy, went into Calice, the being that brought them all to Equestria. Don came back, but Fluttershy didn’t and he was left frantic to try and go in to save her until Don talked him out of it. His second prototype also failed, forcing him to face facts and try to continue going on with his life.
- An evil being known as Tirek attacked Equestria and Donnie supplied smoke bombs and projectiles to other ponies. He got his magic drained, but he was able to join the final fight where a huge explosion briefly turned him back into a turtle and others from other worlds appeared. Along with Fluttershy being returned safely, Marley was one of those people, which allowed her and Donnie to talk and despite the dimensional separation, they decided that they would still love each other no matter what. The explosions effects wore off with Donnie returning to unicorn form and Marley returning home, but he was able to accept it this time and made a locket with a photo of himself and Marley that he took so that he’d be able to have her with him no matter what.
If Donatello could be described in one word, it would be genius. Donnie is a very intelligent and hard-working teenager who devotes himself to mainly inventing and anything scientific related.

It will allow him to mature, learn to control himself, and let him take better care of himself than he may have before becoming a Gem.
Power considerations:
- Weapon summoning (a staff that can have a blade pop out of the top)
- Invisibility
- Earth manipulation
Donnie has no abnormal powers in canon, so the powercap won’t affect him at all. Having powers however will take him by surprise, though having had magic in Equestria he’s no stranger to the concept. He’d work hard in order to learn to control his powers and to use them effectively.
