Donatello

Donatello (ドナテッロ, Donaterro) or Donnie (ドニー, Donī) is the brains of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He is in charge of the design and manufacture of all the tools and weapons in their arsenal. He fights with a bō, which converts to a naginata (a spear-like weapon).

Appearance

 * Voice Actor: Rob Paulsen (English), Not Known (Japanese)

Donnie has Reddish Brown eyes and has a purple bandana color. His character design was also updated, giving him a gap in his teeth and a taller, leaner appearance than his brothers. He is the second-youngest turtle, despite being the tallest. His age is 16, height is 172.5 cm. (5"8), weight is 160 lbs. (72 kg.)

Personality
"Donnie" is extremely intelligent and technical, always working on a strategy whether building machines or battling villains; the complete opposite to the free-flowing Mikey. He talks a lot in order to describe or explain a situation or theory in full, even when in the face of danger. He is also more short-tempered, getting frustrated easily and shouting when angry, although Donatello is usually kind, caring, and compassionate. He is very protective and complimentary of April (Who is also in teenage years in this adaptation) whom he has a huge crush on. Donatello has a more prominent role in this series compared to the original 1987 series, being more active and purpose-driven, but at times does not understand and/or has a hard time grasping the lectures of Master Splinter.

Powers and Abilities
Like his brother Mikey, Donnie may not be the strongest fighter, but his intellegence makes up for it. He has a good line of defense, and is the best at planning strategies. Donnie's intellegence helps him plan out strageties, and be able to build, fix, take apart, and hack machines. Though Donnie doesn't use much hand to hand combat, he is strong when it comes to defense and counter attacks and he mainly prefers kicks over punches. Like his brothers, Donnie is stealthy, can hide in the shadows, sneak around without being detected, and use hand to hand combat

History
Donatello and his brothers were bought by a young boy from a pet store. Shortly after, a blind man was walking the street without noticing a nearby approaching truck. A teenager ran to save the blind man, while inadvertenly pushed the boy, who dropped the turtles, as well as a containers that had mutagen (one from the Utroms and one from the Kraang). Both containers broke and spilled mutagens on them. Splinter then saw the turtles and decided to keep them, and take care of them. After waking Splinter up, Spliner sees the change and decides to train them in ninjitsu. Donatello and the other three turtles trained with Splinter.
