Donatello, aka Donnie, is a middle child. He may be younger than Leo and Raph, but everyone knows he’s got the smarts. Donnie is brilliant with a sharp wit, and he can be a bit sarcastic. He’s a true asset to the Turtle team, thanks to his ability to always see a few steps ahead of everyone else. Leo may be the man with the plan, but Donnie is the man pointing out the holes in the plan whether or not his brothers want to hear them. His weapon of choice is a bo staff, which he can twirl and bash around with serious skill. He’s got a razor-sharp ability to analyze his opponents and know what their next move might be – something that comes in handy in the heat of a big battle!
When Donnie isn’t helping his brothers save the day, he likes to unwind with the finer things in life: video games, anime and, of course, K-pop!
