History: character wiki & series wiki
Personality:

+ AMAZON UPBRINGING
So that's not totally a trait, but it's certainly how and why she has essentially all of her good qualities as a person. It's one thing to just be inherently good, but Donna also has the benefit of being raised by Diana Prince and the other Amazon warriors on the island of Themyscira. The Amazons believe in empowerment and self-discovery, sisterhood, inner strength, and protecting those around her. It's not quite selflessness, because she wasn't raised to believe any one person is better than another, but it's very easy for her to see things from a "big picture" perspective, simply because she was raised to fight for the common good. As a Titan she usually has no hidden agenda or ulterior motives, just the desire to do good. Her lower points usually result in her going against that in one way or another, like when she lets her motivation become personal, but she ultimately has everyone's best interests at heart, even when tracking down a criminal. She also always tries her best to bring that out in others as well, using the things she's learned from her upbringing to try and inspire others to find that goodness in themselves as well.

Donna's strong-willed and focused, often being the one to insist on sticking to a plan once they've got it, but not being afraid to take the lead if things go sour. She doesn't take herself too seriously, and once she's close friends with someone, she doesn't
have any issues letting them see her sarcastic sense of humor or her penchant for cursing up a storm when she's put in a tight spot. She's not ashamed of showing her emotions when the time is right, nor does she hold back from telling her truth when she has something on her mind.
+/- EMOTIONALLY DRIVEN
This is one of those traits that has both positives and negatives, so I'm counting it towards both. Most of the time we see Donna's emotions being used in a very healthy way - the way she looks out for her fellow Titans as if they're family being the most prevalent - but there have been more than a few times when something angers or shocks her, and it blinds her to her usual logical and cool way about confronting things. We see this at its worst after Garth's death, her emotional shift so apparent that someone close to her read the change in demeanor right away, and warned her not to let her revenge drive her next actions. Donna insisted she had it under control, but she reeeeaaally did not. Her impulsive way of going after the man responsible for Garth's death on her own almost got her killed, as well. There were also a few times when her emotional reactions caused her sarcasm to evolve into something more cutting, though we're really only shown this being directed at the original Titans, and it's possible that's because they're really tight knit and she knows she doesn't have to censor herself with them.
- STUBBORN
Which brings us to her main negative character trait! Her stubbornness usually rears its ugly head in those same situations that cause her to react things emotionally instead of logically, but it's also what keeps her from being able to "snap out of it" and realize she's being self destructive. Her stubbornness drives her to believe she needs to take care of certain things on her own, and sometimes it also has the opposite effect, which is.. basically turning her into Pingu. When Rachel insists that she needs to help her help Dick get out of a situation that Donna is confident he put himself in, it's the first time we really see her push back and tell someone no when they're asking for help. Granted, she already had her mind set on finding another friend that had gone missing, but she actually seems angered by Rachel even asking. She takes a short moment to think about it, but her mind had already been made up. We see her stonewall quite a few different plans rather than entertain ones that she knows aren't smart for the team, and usually she's not wrong, but the way she goes about expressing her concerns usually shows how stubborn she can be.

She was also stubborn when it came to her feelings about Garth and what she could and couldn't do about it. She kept him at an arm's length, and only made that space even greater every time he pursued her - the kicker is that she has feelings for him in return, but she's so insistent that it just can't happen, because her destiny is to live her life as a warrior back on Themyscira. She even goes so far as to ask for her time with the Titans to be shortened, almost to prove her point that she couldn't afford to get close to someone like that.
- liiiittle bit ARROGANT
All of these negatives really just showcase that, in a lot of situations, Donna feels like she "knows better". And in a lot of instances, we see that she does have a lot of wisdom and a clear idea of every angle of any given situation, but that combined with her stubbornness and tendency to take the lead can sometimes come off as arrogance. There are times she goes off to take care of things on her own without telling anyone, but is quick to ridicule someone for doing the same if she finds out about it afterwards. She has also totally pulled the mildly pretentious card a few times, one example being when she decides she'd rather stay in her room and read instead of celebrate with the rest of the team, even on Garth's birthday. Donna's slight know-it-all personality doesn't come out much, but when it does it's enough to make people want to roll their eyes, for sure.

Powers and Abilities: super: speed, strength, durability, agility. experienced in hand-to-hand combat, as well as wielding the heck out of her lasso of truth. she's also a skilled investigator and tactician, and can speak 4 different languages.
Inventory:
her wonder girl suit, because it won't leave her alone.
- a messenger bag with her camera, and her lasso of truth.

Samples: her tdm has a good preview of how she interacts with people, but here's some introspection:
[ there are, roughly, 756 places she would rather be than sitting in her surveillance van alone watching the same four monitors, but here she is, doing just that. it's coming up on hour three and so far the most suspicious thing that's happened is that three different people have walked by wearing the same ugly puffer coat. which she actually almost took a look into, shifting in her seat like she might have a reason to follow someone, but no. they're not even paying attention to the building she's monitoring. she does trust roy harper, truly, but she's starting to think his lead was a bust.

which is why she shoots kory a text, begging her to get there sooner than the originally planned time, even promising not to talk shit about her archaic taste in music. 100% zipped lips, scout's honor. she knows her friend isn't actually effected one way or the other when she makes comments about said taste, but the offer seems pretty sweet. kory ends up breaking the news that she can't get there any sooner, and her head drops back as she groans in disappointment, even so far as to actually verbalize her
] Come ooon. [ fuck. okay. how else can she pass the time?

well okay, first, she sends roy a middle finger emoji. that seems like a good place to start. she adores you, buddy, but also.. fuck you for wasting her time.

she goes through her list of go-to people she tolerates enough to be stuck in a small van with them for an extended period of time, but she knows dawn would probably just convince her to give up on what is obviously a bust of a stake-out instead of willingly wasting her time further, and dick would rather just sit and wait for the criminals inside the actual bank instead of waiting outside to make sure they don't jump the gun. usually she doesn't mind being able to predict what her friends will and won't do in any given situation, but right now she's just annoyed about it.

it's right around the time she considers ditching the fan in favor of hitting up the food cart just down the street that she spots what she's been looking for - three men, two duffle bags each. poorly concealed tactical armor hidden under their clothes. bingo. they actually have the audacity to stall in front of the bank steps before heading in, and donna just uses that time to shoot roy a thumbs up emoji before getting out of he van and going after the three men. she almost, almost hopes they put up a fight, just to make all that waiting worth while.
