donald's family was one of the few who immigrated from the southern border of scotland into england. his family at that time consisted of him, his sister, and his mother, while his father had already traveled to england soon after his sister was born. they were planning on reuniting with their father who was supposedly building a foundation for them to live on as ina raised the children back in scotland. unknown to them, kenneth maclean had already abandoned the plan and had traveled to the land of oppurtunity (a.k.a America) without contacting ina and the children. this obviously caused some conflicts. without kenneth to help support the two young children, ina could barely survive herself. donald and his sister, nessie, were sent to st.annes. donald was ten at the time, while his sister was two years younger. donald had always been close to his mother, so when he was suddenly taken away from her, he was devastated. he grew into a nervous and quiet child, quiet to the point where he wouldn't speak for days. he was never diagnosed, but he had become a selective mute most likely tied to child abandonment syndrome. nessie on the other hand was adopted almost instantly, prized for her golden hair and sweetness. it seemed that the only thing the two siblings had alike were their blue eyes. after the loss of his sister, donald suddenly snapped out of his weak attitude. he hardened himself to the world, becoming an odd mix of insensitivity and care. he appears tough and unyielding, but he still holds traces of that fearful boy inside. he enjoys the company of others, yet somehow tends to always shove people away. the most dangerous place is in his mind, and that is where he stays the majority of the time. he fears things more when they aren't even there. donald is like a walking paradox, clouded by adolescence. since he isn't quite sure who he is himself, no one else is allowed to find out either.

donald finds it hard to make friends with people, or rather, people find it hard to make friends with him. he's one of those people who go from room to room with his nose stuck in a book or the type to stare out a window without paying attention to his surroundings. of course, he isn't oblivious. he does care about what's going on; it's just that he has good ways of masking it. however, he'll stop a fight if it breaks out, and he won't be silent if people talk to him. in conversation, he switches between listening quietly to giving short, honest, yet very distant answers. it is sometimes hard to tell whether he is following what other people say or not, and even harder to decipher whether some of his more blunt comments are meant to be jokes or not. he’s best when he’s in a calm atmosphere when he doesn’t feel compelled to prove his strength. donald can be nice at times; it’s just hard to tell when those times are. his friends are usually people that can handle his sometimes turbulent moods and provide him with a relationship that isn’t tiring. he should have a handful of friends, though he certainly won't be mr.popular.

because of his behavior, donald has accumulated his fair share of enemies. in general, he’s not one to immediately rely on his fists in a fight, but he won’t be afraid to if it gets to that. donald doesn’t dislike people just because of their groups, though he holds the same mistrust for derelics that he holds for adults only in a lesser degree. he's not incredibly loyal to the aristocrats or anything. he just is fully aware of the tension between the two groups, and he doesn't want to be involved with a person that will hate him for such a stupid reason. though derelicts will more commonly be his enemies, it won’t be the deciding factor in between indifference and dislike. his ways to deal with enemies is mostly with avoidance or disdain, so he won’t go out of his way to hurt them unless given ample opportunity. donald will probably have quite a few enemies, though most won’t be life-threatening.

donald doesn’t think about love that often. he has his idea of what is attractive to him, but he still doesn’t feel like doing anything about it. emotional connections play a large part in who he is attracted to. though not exactly bisexual (it’s not the gender that means anything), he can grow to like (physically) either girls or boys if his bond with them is intense enough. of course, this doesn’t happen often. he’ll be the type to have more emotional affairs or romantic friendships than actual romance. in addition, he’s only fourteen, so he won’t have anything very serious yet. i’m not expecting too much in this category, but if you have a good idea let me know.

[MARIA MORETTI]

DONALD & MARIA ;;

Although these two have that same, aloof awareness about them.. I can see a friendship forming. Maria is very calm and very mature for her age, and I can see their personalities mixing well together... both sort of wanting that closeness but too rough or intimidated to ask for it. I feel like they'd have some sort of understanding toward each other, both having lost families. Maria used to have an older brother who she adored, and even though they were never really that close, for some reason I see her idolizing Donald as that male role model in her life.

[DONALD MACLEAN]

That sounds find by me. Donald would probably find that being Maria is more relaxing that being with most others, thanks to their similar distant personalities. He probably would be less blank-faced with her, but of course, he'd still be in partially in his shell. This would come especially when he would feel any sign of affection toward her. He'd stop himself at that point, since that feeling is incredibly uncomfortable for him. In this way he'd both be striving to be a good friend for her, while at the same time pulling back. This results in odd patches where Donald may slip up and do something that would appear that he has deep care for her, and then a moment later, he'd be back to his rather disinterested state.

As for the role model, Donald is younger than Maria by two years, so he may feel uncomfortable with being a male figure in his friend's life. This being said, he may not notice this since they both seem to be the type to hide their feelings, especially admiration for others. Much like how she looks up to him, he may sometimes slip in a mind-set where he looks up to Maria as a sister of sorts. Though once again, he'd try not to show this to her. It would be interesting how they would subtly reveal their feelings through the course of their relationship. What do you think?

[ROSALINE MCKINNON]

ROSALINE + DONALD =

I think that Rosaline would find Donald to be adorable. The dark but secretly soft types are definitely what she goes for. Despite the fact that she is a year older, she'd try to force him to open up to her. I'm guessing that she'd be a bit of a nuisance to Donald, but she never lets up that easily. She gets obsessive over people, and when they refuse her, that just make her want them more. She'd probably tag around when he wants to be alone and attempt to *cough* seduce him. So, a one-sided crush/infatuation probably.

[DONALD MACLEAN]

Hahaha, that actually sounds like it may be amusing. Donald would probably be like "what the hell?" whenever he sees Rosaline flounce up to him, and though he would be annoyed by her, he probably wouldn't throw a huge fit. Sure, he'd tell her to go away, but for the most part, he wouldn't care what Rosaline does with her time. If she makes an effort to be his friend rather than a love interest, he may be more worried since all friendships open the door to more serious relationships in his mind. I think that some plot developement could occur between them in the future, but for right now, this sounds fun. =D

ROSALINE + DONALD =

Yayness! We should definitely thread sometime! It'll be tons of fun.

[Loui Zhestokii]

Loui
Loui would make an excellent enemy for Donald. Unlike him, her first choice is always her fists. I can see them getting into scrapes when she comes over to his side to visit her girlfriend.
Probably something along the lines of: He bumps into her or ignores her, she takes it as disrespect, and forces him into blows. And after that, she would likely make it a point to give him a hard time.
It could make for some fun anti-fluff posts. Nothing like a fistfight to spice up a thread!
