#donna's cursed birthday bash

Character Solidifying ask for Donna 10, 19 and 28!

Thank you anon!! 💕

From these specific asks here! :3c

10.) Is your character street-smart, book-smart, intelligent, intellectual, slow-witted?

I would say Donna is a good combo of street-smart and book-smart, but with a nice sprinkle of naivety on top lol They definitely knew how to carry themself around Vesuvia, especially since they were essentially a runaway and had to learn to hold their own on their own. Their aunt and Mom Squad were also very good at teaching them how to protect themself and specific cues to look out for because they knew Donna was a bit of an airhead. They're also a big old nerd though, particularly about history, and are an avid reader. HOWEVER COMMA, having been such a huge fan of cheesy romance novels did..... skew their ideas of love and sex in their early 20s lol

Putting the others under cut because of length!

19.) What were your character’s deepest disillusions? In life? What are they now?

Going back to the last question, Donna had some very warped views of themself, their body, and sex and love for quite a while. I've alluded to them being both a very casual lover, but a very emotionally intense lover too. They think that everyone wants some deeper, emotional connection with their sexual partners, hence why a lot of their partners are also their close friends. However, not everyone either wants that point-blank OR not everyone sees there being a distinction between that and a genuine relationship.

This resulted in them having quite a bit of fallouts with people and conflating their desirability with their self-worth. They definitely put a higher value on being the fun and flirty friend who's good for casual hookups than on their own mental health and well-being. This made lots of blurry lines with people and would result in them being taken advantage of quite frequently.

Now (as in Damien's timeline), their biggest delusion is that they still conflate their worth on if they are needed by others, it just isn't in a sexual context anymore. Now they're the "Hero of Vesuvia" who defeated The Devil; they feel a need to uphold this idea and be the rock for anyone and everyone. They're burning out on all ends, which sadly, results in Damien and his growing issues getting pushed to the sidelines while they're struggling to help rebuild a city with Nadia and Valerius 😬

28.) Who is your character’s mate? How do they relate to them? How did they make their choice?

HA the wording of this makes me think of like... AOB AU idfhgifdh BUT Valerius is definitely Donna's life partner! While the two are poly and have an open marriage, they truly do just. Love one another. Once Valerius really let Donna into his life and dropped his many austere masks, they could see clearly that he was just as much of an insecure person as they were, and by looking at Valerius (like... truly seeing him), they could see that he also conflated his own sexuality with his own self-worth, among other things (his wealth, his title, his family lineage, etc).

They stayed with Valerius because he makes them feel... human? Donna's spent their entire life feeling like they're an Object; they were brought into this world to be used as a tool in a deal. Many of their partners only wanted them for their body or their magic or both. Valerius just craved Donna because Donna made him feel seen, made him feel at peace, and in turn, he did the same for them! He's one of the only people to get them out of their toxic "I have to be everything for everyone, or else what use am I?" because he just. Gets it. That's really just it: they're very dissimilar people, but they also are very similar, and so they just Get Eachother.

Donna’s Thoughts on Their Birthday

since it is Donna’s birthday and I don’t think I’ll have a fic ready for tonight (working two jobs and some personal issues has really been killing my creativity 😭), I did want to do a post on how they feel about their birthday/how they would celebrate it! I plan on doing a proper fic exploring this in more detail, but I wanted to do a broader post as a place holder hehehe :3c

General context warning for mentions of trauma, childhood abuse/neglect, and allusions to sacrifices

I’m general, Donna has very… negative thoughts about their birthday (see this post for further context). Every year it’s marked by a growing dread and unease; the context around their birth is just not something that ever gets easier for them to deal with, and their own growing family does little to bring them a sense of ease. In fact, their own personal safety makes them feel more unsafe on their birthday. Their general thought is, “Well things are going…. Too good right now. Which means that I’m due for something bad now, and it would make sense that my crazy, homicidal parents would try to finish me off on the day of my birth 😬😬😬😬”

This is the general thought they have for most of their birthdays while living in Vesuvia; the only time they don’t have them is the three years after they were revived as they simply didn’t. Remember being a failed-sacrificial lamb baby 🤭

As a child, Dominique always tried making their birthdays a blast but something. Always went wrong. This only further “supported” the notion that their birth was this cursed day, and eventually Donna insisted they stop celebrating it in general. Dominique, put out, eventually agreed.

Pre-game events, Donna actually just straight up didn’t tell people their birthday. They would make a game out of telling people their star sign and having them guess the date from there, and even then, they would lie and just go with their first guess (unless, of course, it was correct lol)

Asra was obviously the first person they told, and Sam also knew. Sam, however, was always very good at respecting their boundaries and normally just treated it as a normal day (though he did very subtly spoil them more in special ways aka eating them out until they imploded LMAO)

Gradually, too, they told Valerius. He was at first annoyed they would lie to him about something like that, but once he understands why, he’s extremely doting on them. Typically, they spent their birthdays with just him and Asra, and normally it just involved a nice dinner between the three of them (Valerius either gives them their gifts before or after their actual birthday, when he knows they’ll be more receptive of it)

The person with the biggest issue this was actually Nadia. 1.) She does not tolerate being lied to and 2.) Not showering the person she loves in gifts, especially for their birthday, just doesn’t make sense to her nor does it sit right with her. She initially interprets it as “Oh, Donna’s still feeling like they aren’t worthy of love and affection. I must remedy this.” Her heart is in the right place, but……. Yeas.

She would definitely rope Valerius into throwing them what she thinks is a small surprise party (it isn’t, but it’s Nadia, she thinks a single banana is $20 lmao) While Valerius is initially hesitant, he eventually cannot say no to her and is convinced that because it’s Nadia hosting it, it should go off without a hitch.

The surprise party. Goes. Terribly. LMFAO. And Donna doesn’t even the room, they simply run. (They’re a runner they’re a track starrrrr 🏃🏻🏃🏻)

Donna isn’t necessarily mad at anyone involved, but they’re just. Overwhelmed, sad, and angry that they even feel this way. Nadia, in turn, feels insanely guilty and learns a big lesson on how to properly navigate her grander gestures of adoration :’)))

Her and Valerius do spend the night just totally spoiling them, and she never makes the mistake again, but this is just one instance of people trying to get Donna to break out of their birthday funk and. Failing. LOL

BUT THEN. INSERT. DAMIEN!

Damien absolutely adores his mama, and always insisted on celebrating their birthday in grandiose ways, even when he was a child.

“Mama, we have all this money and you have all these friends!!!! Where are they!!!!!! This is ridiculous!!! Father, you call yourself a husband???? 😤😤😤”

Despite their growing paranoia, Donna is more inclined to let Damien have his way. He and Valerius would plan bigger parties for them, and they learned how to grin and bear it for Damien’s sake.

As an adult, and now knowing why his mama doesn’t care for their birthdays, he’s much chiller but still very much attached to their hip all day.

“Mama, why are you working? Go back to bed. MAMA GO TO BED!!!!”

They have a private Mama/Son lunch every year, and the family always has a very large dinner together. Damien always takes weeks prepping for their gift, and him and Valerius have a secret bet on who can make Donna cry more with their presents LMAO (Damien always wins, but to be fair, he does have the unfair advantage of his presence being a present alone lmao)

Shakedown

A/N: Chapter 8. The last installment of My Hiatus Story, Life Without You.    Season 14 premiere tonight! I'm excited, nervous, scared; just a myriad of emotions. Are you?

SERIES MASTERLIST

The joy of having Sam and Jack back in the Bunker was short-lived. Everyone was on edge, trying to come up with a viable plan to get rid of Michael while also saving Dean. Sam had called in everyone to help. Jody from Sioux Falls. Donna from Minnesota. Even Garth, the hunter turned werewolf (but still a hunter) and his wife Bess.  Everyone was on hand and eager to help save Dean.

Many ideas had been thrown about and each one had a flaw. Sam was getting agitated, Cas was getting upset, even Bobby was getting annoyed. I was put in charge of the nephilim, who without his grace, was in the mindset of a child.

Jack's endless questions and curiosity was time-consuming. And it fell onto my shoulders to be a somewhat mother to not only him, but the few other children who were, for the time being, residing in the Bunker. 

"I don't care Bobby," I hear Sam's raised voice echo through the halls. "We are going to find that asshole archangel and we are going to do whatever it takes to get my brother back!"

The response is not as loud and unclear as I head to the Dean-cave to corral the children for their lunch. Dean and I had spent a whole weekend about a year or so ago remodeling and redecorating one of the numerous empty rooms into a tv room/den so we could relax and watch movies. For years we had settled with a laptop screen and a motel bed for this but once Dean was gifted a huge flat screen television from a grateful client we decided this was the way to go. Albeit the television had turned out to be home to a cursed object and we ended up having to demolish it. I had replaced it with a safe and normal, non-cursed one for Dean's birthday, just earlier this year.  

"Lunchtime guys!" The children and Jack looked toward me with smiles on their faces. "And yes,  before you ask Jack, I cut the crusts off for you. Now, come on get to the kitchen and eat." I walk in and reach for the remote to click the screen off. The other kids run off toward the kitchen but Jack hangs back.

"You will make an excellent mother," he tells me. The grin on his face falters as he notices the tears in my eyes. "Did-did I say something wrong? Do you not want to be a good mother?"

I chuckle despite the tears. "No Jack. You didn't say anything wrong. These are happy tears. It's just my hormones. They are screwy with the pregnancy."

Jack nods as of he understands and exits the room, leaving me behind.  I slink down into Dean's chair.  The fabric still holds his scent, a mixture of gunpowder, motor oil and whiskey. I turn my head and simply breathe in the heady, yet sweet balm. I miss him so much already. I need him to get back to me, to is, safe and unharmed.

Wiping my tears, I stand up and straighten my shoulders. No time to be melancholy now.

The tension in the Bunker is thick. Sam has gone all Alpha male on everyone. He is beyond determined to get his brother back! He told me late one night recently that he can’t imagine a life without Dean in it and he doesn’t want to try.

“Dean has done so much--sacrificed so much--for me. If it’s the last thing I do on this Earth, I will bring him back to you, to me, to that baby.”

“But Sam,” I say, running my hand subconsciously over the obvious bump of my stomach. “You can’t kill yourself trying. You have to take breaks, rest. We need you too.”

He runs his fingers through his long brown hair. I stand and round the table we are sitting at and pull his head against my chest. The stubble on his chin thicker than usual, from worrying about saving Dean and not his own self. It tickles the bare skin of my arm as I wrap it around his neck. “Take care of yourself. Go get some sleep. Take a shower. Brush your teeth. Eat!” I hug his neck tightly  before letting go to look him in the eye. “And something fulfilling. Not whatever you’ve been hoarding in your room.”

“Yes mom,” Sam says, a smile in his voice.

“I’m not your mom. You already have one.” I say as I smack the back of his head before he stands fully to where I can’t reach.

“You’re going to be a good mom to my niece or nephew,” Sam says and nods before leaving the room to hopefully do as I told him to.

Unfortunately, the next morning I am met with an even more haggard looking Sam. I knew from the minute I laid eyes on him in the kitchen, Sam Winchester had not gotten an ounce of rest and was already filling up on caffeine to get through another day of researching and analyzing how to get Dean back from Michael.

I shake my head as I reach into the fridge to grab stuff to make breakfast for the rest of the Bunker residents. Egg, bacon, sausage, frozen biscuits. Food to keep us all going and to keep us all optimistic.  

Jack finds me in the library, curled up in one of the leather chairs in the corner. I’ve been doing my own investigations into how to get the archangel out of Dean’s body but have come up short on more than one occasion.

“Can I ask you something?”

I look up to see Jack, his face flushed and he seems to be bashful. He is holding his laptop, open, in his palms.

“What is it, Jack?”

“Did you and Dean have intercourse? Is that how the baby got inside you?”

I was glad I wasn’t in the process of drinking anything because his blunt questions had me gasping.

“Where--who told you that?”

“I watched a video on how babies are made. And it said that the mother, that’s you, and the father, Dean. They have intercourse and that’s how the baby is made. Dean put his penis inside--”

“Jack!” I say his name loudly, probably too loudly, to get his attention and shut him up. The nephilim looks at me curious and shy.

“Is that not how it happened?”

I take a breath to even my erratic heartbeat. I sit up straighter in the chair and nod to the one across from me for Jack to sit down. He complies, balancing his laptop on his knees.

“Yes, Jack. Dean and I had intercourse. Some people call it sex. Some call it making love. But apparently whatever video you watched, has told you the intimate details. So yes, Dean and I made love and from that love a baby was created. A baby that I will love unconditionally.”

“Even if Dean doesn’t make it back?”

“Don’t talk like that Jack,” I reprimand him. “Dean will be saved and he will make it back to us. Alive and well. You just have to keep thinking positive.”

“DO YOU EVEN CARE?”

“Yes, Sam, I do care. He is my son,” Mary answers her youngest’s question. “I love him. I want him back too!”

I listen to the argument from around the corner of the war room, in the hallway hidden from view.

“YOU DON’T ACT LIKE IT. YOUR SON IS BEING USED AS A MEAT SUIT FOR THE BIGGEST DOUCHE OF AN ANGEL OUT THERE AND YOU JUST SEEM SO INDIFFERENT. THIS IS YOUR OWN FLESH AND BLOOD!”

Sam’s words echo through the room and make their way past my inconspicuous spot. Sam and his mother have been going at it all morning. Sam claiming Mary of being aloof and heartless about Dean being practically kidnapped and worn like a Halloween costume. Mary defending herself by saying she cares and she is working on her own devices to get Dean back.

“WE NEED TO BE WORKING TOGETHER THEN. PUT ALL OUR RESOURCES TOGETHER AND THEN COME TO A UNANIMOUS DECISION. NOT GO OFF HALF-COCKED, WITH HALF OF THE INFORMATION WE NEED. THAT’LL JUST KILL MORE OF US.”

“Sam, calm down sweetie,” Mary admonishes.

“CALM DOWN? CALM DOWN?” Sam’s voice raises more, if possible. “YOU WANT ME TO CALM DOWN WHEN THE ONE WHO BASICALLY RAISED ME IS OUT THERE BEING USED AND IS NOT IN CONTROL OF WHAT HAPPENS TO HIS BODY. WE DON’T EVEN KNOW IF HE IS AWARE OF WHAT MICHAEL IS DOING!!”

“Son, we are doing everything--” Bobby speaks up. I hear a crash and peek around the door to see that Sam has thrown a tome across the room, hitting and breaking a vase in the corner, the glass shattering to the floor and the water dripping from the perch.

“NO WE ARE GIVING HALF-ASSED ATTEMPTS TO FIND HIM.”

I leave my hiding spot to head back to the kitchen to grab a mop and bucket and trash can to clean up the mess in the war room. I hear Sam and Bobby pass the kitchen, heading back to the  repurposed conference room, a room not frequently used towards the back of the Bunker but after everything Sam and Bobby had turned it into a hub for working to find ways to get Dean back.

I carry the bucket and mop to the war room, to be met with a downtrodden and distressed Mary. I squat to and begin picking up the shards of glass, making sure to give her her space. I like Mary but I also don’t want to crowd her or get into her space. They are all working so diligently to bring Dean back that I don’t want to get in the way.

“You don’t have to do that,” her timid voice sounds behind me. I drop a few shards into the trash can and turn to see her looking at me, a small smile on her face.

“Well, someone has to do it. And you all are working so hard.”

“Thank you. We all appreciate you,” Mary says as she joins me in the floor and begins helping to pick up the glass. “You are the glue that is holding everything else together, you know. You take care of all of us. You make sure we all are fed and well rested.”

“Sam isn’t,” I contradict.

“Not that you don’t try to get that big lug to,” Mary smiles. “I just want you to know I see what you do behind the scenes. And I know Dean will be grateful for it when he comes back.”

Tears prickle my eyelids at the thoughts of Dean coming home, coming back to me, back to his child; the one he knows nothing about.

“I sometimes wonder if he’d known about this little guy, if he would’ve still said yes.”

“He would,” I tell her. “I know Dean. I’ve known Dean for a decade. If he thinks his sacrifice would save people and make this world a better place, you can bet your ass he would’ve still said yes. Especially if it meant making a safe a better world for his child.”

Mary helps me finish cleaning and then makes her own way to the conference room at the back of the Bunker.

A noise catches my attention as I’m in my room, cleaning. I walk through the hall and can hear the distinct timbre of Castiel’s voice. I walk into the room and see the angel’s face. It is beaten and bloodied. I start to rush toward him as he says, “That means Dean dies too.”

I stop as the words permeate my ears. Then Jack’s voice sounds and it makes my blood boil. “Then he dies.” I can’t stop myself as I make my way to the nephilim and smack him across the face. The boy looks up at me as he holds his cheek in his hand. “I do not want to hear those words come from your mouth again!” I yell at him. “Dean is not going to die!”

I turn to Cas and grab his chin, lifting his face to inspect the damage.

“I am sorry you had to hear that,” he tells me.

I take a breath and focus on what needs to be done. I grab the towel from my shoulder and wipe the blood from his face. Not answering him, I continue cleaning his wounds.

Suddenly we hear a commotion and the majority of the adults who have been working tirelessly to save my boyfriend and baby daddy rushes into the room.

“We found him!” Sam announces. But before any plans can be made, the iron door above us opens and in walks Dean. Well, Dean’s body; Michael is in full control. I can tell just by the posture and the gait with which he approaches the balcony.

“Wrong. I have found you.”

45, 47, 49 from the character solidifying asks for Donna. -vesuvian-disaster

Thank you AGAIN for these @vesuvian-disaster 👀

From these asks here!✨

45. Is your character pragmatic? Think first? Responsible? All action? A visionary? Passionate? Quixotic?

Because Donna is a bundle of anxiety, they both think first AND are all action, depending on the circumstance. Because of their anxiety, they always try to think 5 steps ahead and predict people's reactions constantly. However, because they're wound up so tightly at times, they just kinda. Blow the fuck up LMAO particularly if something is aggravating them or threatening their safety (or they think their safety is at risk)

47. Do they want to project an image of a younger, older, more important person? Do they want to be visible or invisible?

Oh, definitely older; they were much less aware of the age gap between them and Sam for quite some time because in their head, they felt ancient already lmao

I think in the beginning, Donna did want to be this visible figure for their community. However, once they got a taste of what that meant in Vesuvia, and double when they lost Damien, they really just want. To crawl into a hole and never be perceived again lmfao

49. What about voice? Pitch? Strength? Tempo and rhythm of speech? Pronunciation? Accent?

JOISY BABY!! Donna and Lucio have pretty similar voices/accents in my head tbh Lucio's is just a bit deeper than theirs, but they don't necessarily have a very high-pitched voice either? It truly depends on who they're with (with strangers/other nobles, they raise the octave. If they're comfortable with you, though, it's much deeper)

They're a VERY fast talker, and sometimes it's hard to understand them when they're worked up. They're also very loud, especially if they're having a good time or are... angry LOL

[bottomvalerius]

2, 17, 38 from the chaos asks for the birthday boi Donna! - vesuvian-disaster

thank youuuu @vesuvian-disaster heheh 💕💕💕💕

from these asks here! 👀

2.) Would they steal a glass from a restaurant?

They do, and Valerius is not allowed near them. Precious bounties. Especially if the name of the restaurant is on it or it's a very nice shape 😩👌

17.) Reheat or eat cold leftovers?

I mean they were roommates with Asra..... so they are sitting on the floor eating cold leftovers. (Sam would shriek at them constantly because You're a magician. You don't even have to put in any amount of effort. WHY ARE YOU CHOOSING TO EAT THAT SOUP COLD, STOP--)

38.) How do they take their toast?

They're a lightly toasted type of person! Not a huge fan of burnt and cronchy things, but they would want it hot enough for like butter to melt ya know??

[bottomvalerius]

21, 25 and 27 for Donna >:^♡♡♡

hehehehe thank you :3c

from these chaotic 🤪🤪🤪🤪 OC Asks

21.) Do they chew ice? 

Donna has one too many cavities to chew ice peacefully BUT they would as a kid totally

25.) Do they brush their teeth before or after they shower? Or, god forbid, during?

If they’re not in a rush in the morning, before showering as they think it wakes them up more. But if they are, they are totally brushing their teeth in the shower/bath and also probably pretending to be a frothing monster @ Valerius the entire time 😌 (sometimes he joins in if he doesn’t have a hangover 🤭)

27.) Is ketchup a smoothie?

“It’s actually a fine wine. Valerius told me so.” “No I did not—“ “It’s his favorite. Drinks a whole bottle every night.” “—DONATELLO.”

[bottomvalerius]

Happy birthday to Donna!!

THEY THANK YOU LOVE 😘😘

Going to be reblogging a buncha Donna stuff and possibly adding more throughout the day when I get time heheh but I’ll find some good ask memes for their special day too 👀

thank you love 😘😘

for these chaotic OC asks 🤪🤪

1.) Do they put on a sock then a shoe on each foot, or both socks and then both shoes?

If I’m being very real…. They’re really only wearing socks as lingerie, if not they are barefoot and carefree 😌 (with a few blisters too but it’s worth it)

10.) How do they prefer to cut their sandwiches? (diagonally, quarters, half down the middle, wherever the knife falls, etc…)

If they aren’t late and running out the door with a whole sandwich between their teeth like an anime protagonist, they would cut diagonally!

11.) When texting - multiple messages, one long message, or somewhere in between?

Multiple texts for casual convos—long paragraph when they’re fighting with someone. They and Valerius would write each other full on 5 paragraph essays when they argue via text

Happy birthday Donna! 💕💕💕💕30, 40, 49 from the Character Solidifying Asks ! Thank you 💕

thank you for asking my dear!! 😘😘

from these asks here 🍷

40 and 49 were answered in previous asks! (I’m on mobile so I’ll link later 👀)

30.) Are they holding on to something in the past? Can they forgive?

OOOOOF what part of their past aren’t they holding onto and hiding all the same? :’)

The biggest thing is obviously everything with their parents. They are both terrified of them and the idea of ever meeting them/them finding Donna, but they’re also craving some sort of resolution to all this grief and confusion and anger. They have no where to put all those intense emotions, and it’s very difficult to navigate if they aren’t numbing themself or actively distracting themself.

It goes without saying that they would never forgive their parents. However, they do crave some sort of closure so they move on. They don’t even know if their parents are alive and together (note: they are not together :’) which is something I’ll be working with in the future 👀), and they’re hesitant to use Nadia’s resources to find them.

Other than their parents, and this is a bit of a spoiler I guess?, but they do wind up reconciling with their aunt, Dominique :’) after the events of the game and gaining a few more of their core memories back, they no longer feel the need to hide from her anymore. Once it’s clear that Donna and Valerius are going to get married, both Donna and Valerius agree they need to try rekindling the relationship.

It does go very well for them both! They’re older and with time and space and distance (and a death + revival experience LMAO), they really just. Begin understanding one another much better. Dominique absolutely loves Valerius and she bullies him relentlessly :’)) she also embraces being a great aunt (graunt??) to Damien heheh

Happy Birthday to don-don! 20, 21, 24 and 26 from the solidifying asks perhaps? ;o

WOOOO Thank you for all the asks bestie 😭😭🥺💕 sorry for the delay, work was very busy :’)

from these asks here 🥺✨

20.) What were the most deeply impressive political or social, national or international, events that they experienced?

Donna’s been through. A lot. And it goes without saying what exactly they’ve been through LMAO

BUT one thing I haven’t talked about and may expand on has directly to do with the town they grew up in: Karnassos. Still working out the timeline specifics BUT I do believe Donna would have still been there when a certain newly appointed Count came to visit 😬😬😬 and subsequently. Murdered the town’s mayor 😬😬😬

Most likely, Lucio would have stayed at their family’s inn too before the murder happened. This would be their unofficial first meeting; Lucio had no recollection of it, but Donna definitely did. It would forever paint Lucio in a very terrifying light for them, even after getting to know him more. They were right, of course, to have their doubts and reservations about him, but they eventually got over their fear and it just became at first a general indifference/complacency and then eventual disdain.

21.) What are your character’s manners like? What is their type of hero? Whom do they hate?

Donna knows how to be on their best behavior around nobles LOL and I would say they are very polite around strangers/people they do not know well. However, with people they’re close too, they’re a bit more brash and loud but that’s just because they’re relaxed. They would hope whoever they’re with and friendly with also act the same with them :’) (they’ve gotten Valerius to burp ONCE in front of them, and it was more like he was regurgitating something LMAO)

They’re heroes are obviously the heroes in novels of course! LMAO They love a good Romantic Hero who has to go on some sort of personal odyssey :’) They hate quite a few nobles tbh particularly those who are openly uncaring and cruel.

24.) What social groups and activities does your character attend? What role do they like to play? What role do they actually play, usually?

When they marry Valerius, they marry into quite a bit of his life style. Playing a political role into Vesuvia too means they need to associate and work with many more politicians and nobles. While they would love to be treated as an equal with valuable experiences and intelligence, they are constantly treated as basically a freak show by other nobles. Donna’s opinion doesn’t matter: all they see is a crazy powerful witch that the consul decided to marry, for whatever reason. It drives Donna absolutely bonkers lmao

26.) to be answered later 👀👀 I need to like. Find references and I’m bad at that stuff LOL someone else asked though so I will give a detailed response…….. one day…..

A happy birthday Donna 25, 40, and 48 from the Character Building asks!

Thank you anon!!! 😘😘

From these ask prompts! 💕✨

25.) What are their hobbies and interests?

Reading! They love to read, especially romances. They dabble in writing poems, but they’re very insecure about them lol They’re also into candle making, can make little lumpy felt dolls, and do like journaling too.

Besides their magical interests, they’re interested in history, especially Vesuvian history, botany, traveling/reading travel logs, the arts in general (especially drama), and they do enjoy learning about sailing/ships.

40.) How is their sense of humor? Do they have one?

Donna can be very sarcastic and I guess I would categorize them as being……. Goofy? LMAO just a silly little guy :’) Valerius can really crack them up with a good one liner, especially if it’s very mean and accurate LMAO

48.) How are your character’s gestures? Vigorous? Weak? Controlled? Compulsive? Energetic? Sluggish?

Donna gesticulates a lot while talking! They’re constantly doing something with their hands, and part of that is due to their anxiety and part of it is…… they feel they need to always be physically demonstrating what it is they’re talking about? They definitely can either be extremely wired and have like an idle motion OR they’re very listless and slow moving when they’re high lmfao
