Donatello Hamato || ROTTMNT DONNIE

Donatello is presented to be a dark jade green skinned softshell turtle mutant who is a spiny softshell, he is the most moderate statured one, being the third tallest of his team. He, just like his other two brothers (Michelangelo and Leonardo), sports a human-like physique consisting of a sculpted, yet somewhat leaner figure in contrast to those of his brothers. Having three fingers on each hand, as well two toes on each foot. His turtle species consists of a tanned ochre-brown plastron, followed by a flattened olive-green carapace that has dark green spot-like marks sprawled across the top. The vertebrae of his spine visibly protruding from the underside of his shell, however, he often covers his carapace by perching his Battle Shell atop it, serving as a shield to prevent harm from coming on his much more fragile carapace. Additionally, Donnie has two purple 8-bit rectangular markings on each side of his thighs and shoulders. Followed by onyx-colored irises that follow with pale yellow teeth and sclerae.

Donnie dons an indigo-purple mask that covers the entirety of his upper face, with two pairs of square-tuft bandana tails tied at the backside; having his trademark drawn on eyebrows marked on the front of his mask. He positions a pair of steel asymmetric goggles atop his head, having mismatched red(left) and blue(right) lenses. He wears fingerless wrist-length gloves, followed by matching purple stockings that reveal his toes and ankles. He has purple knee and elbow pads to match his other gear and his left forearm sports a silver tech-gauntlet. Finally, he wears a purple belt adjusted high into the abdomen-area of his plastron, the dark green turtle emblem adjusted straight in the middle.

Donnie has an aptitude for recklessness, reveling in thrilling, dangerous activities, such as when he tests the Turtle Tank’s taxi rocket, and enjoys the experience despite having no control of the vehicle and traveling hundreds of feet into the air in “Late Fee”. He also has a violent streak as Donnie regularly attempts to physically attack others with little hesitance and can be wild, typically acting more like a deranged scientist than a heedful man of knowledge.

Donnie loves the dramatic as much as he himself is dramatic, at times erupting into song, generally talking in a grandiose manner about himself and events, and prone to being extravagant with his plans, like when he desires uranium for his inventions in “Down with the Sickness”.

While Donnie perceives himself as being emotionless, in reality, he is quite passionate such as being easily irritated, especially when others don’t listen and/or appreciate his intelligence, excitable sometimes the point of distraction, such as when he sees Atomic Lass in Times Square and loses focus on the mission in “Mascot Melee”, and is deeply saddened and hurt discovering that Splinter lied to him and Michelangelo in “Turtle-dega Nights: Ballad of Rat Man”. He also longs for genuine praise, particularly from adults. Despite his aforementioned emotionality, Donnie does have a tendency to be aloof.
