After deciding I wanted to have a persona for TNBC, I tried to get her bio out while it was still Nightmare season (October-December, Q4) in the hopes that more people would see it.

Donatella, or Donna for short, is a haunted broken porcelain doll from Halloween Town. She has numerous cracks on her face and fingers. She appears to have bluish eyeshadow, light pink blush, red lipstick, and more makeup that looks like running mascara on her upper cheeks. She wears an olive green dress with a light bluish-gray collar, very dark brown sleeves, light brown trim on the skirt and sleeves, a green layer with a blue hem beneath the skirt, and green fingerless gloves. She wears a pair of black shoes with green bows on the straps. Her brown hair is styled in an updo of ringlets that fall around her head. Her hairstyle has bangs on the front side. Her socks are dark brown with white polka dots, which is the same color and pattern as her bow. There are green ribbons and some light blue strip of fabric attached to it. She is the actual size of a porcelain doll, meaning that she is very short. 

Donna is a perky and snarky doll who has a self-confident, I'm-so-fab kind of nature. Her methods of scaring people are unconventional compared to most of the other monsters in town, but that isn't something that others her from them. Charismatic, she loves to be the center of attention. When she's not, she'll watch you in a much more unsettling way. While most dolls, including herself, work more silently, Donna tends to be louder and more brash. More often than not, Donna can be mischievous, snide, and maybe a little obnoxious. 

Donna isn't very fond of jump scares or blood and guts like lots of Halloween Town's spooks do. To be frank, they ironically freak her out. But she has her own ways of spooking you out. They're silent, albeit just as deadly. Even when she's completely still, her eyes seem to follow you around. When you least expect it, her eyes can actually move, all while the rest of her body is inanimate. She may actually move once your back is turned. All this being said, Donna has excellent volume control. She tends to be very loud, but she's also great at staying so quiet that it gives you the creeps. 

A notable character from the film who Donatella can be seen around the most is Sally. Initially, Sally and Donna didn't exactly like each other at first. They are both dolls, but Donna's diva-like traits didn't exactly paint her as a courteous person in Sally's eyes. The more they got to know each other, though, the more they connected and became friends. They were able to connect over their shared feelings of stepping into a new role- Sally leading Halloween Town alongside Jack as the Pumpkin Queen, and Donna being selected as the ambassador to the haunted dolls.

Jack most likely knows all the citizens of his town, and by name, too. It wouldn't be surprising that he'd know Donna and the other dolls. Thanks to how well the dolls can sneak around and stay quiet, he tasked them with planning out his route. They did this by writing the list and providing him with directions on how to get to the listed kids' houses. Things went wrong like we saw, but Jack is nonetheless thankful for the dolls' help. Like Sally, he thinks Donna's a bit much, but he'd like to get to know her better. 

Donna doesn't know much about Lock, Shock and Barrel, and she's been deterred from speaking to them. She doesn't want to risk them tossing her around and messing up her neat hair. But, she can't help but feel bad for them. The more times she's observed them from a distance, the more she thinks something's probably going on with them. 

Donatella lives in a sophisticated neighborhood of creepy dolls like herself in Halloween Town. She prides herself in her silent stare technique of scaring that haunted dolls are known for. She scared people while also working as a field researcher for the human world, learning about what they're afraid of. Once she and her colleagues get back from a haunting session or a field observation, they often hang out at one of their dollhouses. Donna, who is quite popular amongst her community, spends most of her nights at these get-togethers, basking in their praises of her stealthy scares. During the events of the film, a raging celebration of another successful Halloween was going on at Donna's dollhouse. Later on, Jack stopped by to ask if she and the dolls knew anything about Christmas, but their research only covers fear and Halloween-related things, so they dismissed him. As mentioned before, their assignment for Jack's Christmas was to plan out his route for his deliveries. When he got shot down, Donna believed that all of their hard work had gone to waste, but everything worked out well in the end. When snow came falling on Halloween Town, the dolls cozied up in their dollhouses, and Donna realized how much she loved hot chocolate.

Because of Donna's talents and her skill in her job, as well as how much she loves being admired by her peers, Donna was later chosen to become the ambassador to the dolls. She already knew they looked up to her, but now, they'd have to rely on her to lead them to success. Donna wasn't prepared to take on her new responsibilities, and on multiple occasions, she didn't think she was fit to be a voice for the dolls. She did know what it was like to have a lot of charisma, though. So, when she met Sally, she tried to show her a thing or two about looking like a leader, in the hopes that they'd be pals. Though they bumped heads at first, Donna ended up helping Sally out with her dilemmas while also learning things for herself. I picture her playing a more active role in Long Live the Pumpkin Queen.

As I said, Donna's a little bit of a witch (no pun intended), so she tends to be kind of annoying. She's known for being sassy, but she also comes off as bit rude. Since she's made of porcelain, she's susceptible to getting cracked or broken, so she's not as risk-averse as Sally. When going out into the human world, she always takes the safest routes she can find.

Donna's dollhouse is two stories high and, just like most buildings in Halloween Town, is dark and pointy for the most part. The darkness and points are noticeably exaggerated, and her house looks misshapen, but that's what makes the atmosphere so inviting for other dolls. Her room has a green and black pinstripe pattern on the wall, and the floor is purple carpet. Her shelves are mostly sophisticated glass cases. She has a sit-down vanity mirror that's round and dark blue. The ottoman in front of it is an indigo color. Her bed has lots of dark throw pillows on it, and her comforter is dark green with a diamond pattern. Its headboard and footboard are brown and trimmed with gold. Right in front of her bed, there's a bench with a dark green cushion. She also has folding panels that she changes clothes behind.

And there you have it- my charismatic doll Nightmare persona! She's inspired by this one Halloween when I dressed like a broken, creepy doll.
