**Don'yoku Taberu (食べ 貪欲, Taberu Don'yoku),** otherwise known as **Don-chan** by Ryoku and **Yolk** by her sisters, is a recurring character in Blue Ghost Tales, first appearing in the Enigma Arc.

She is an AR Quirk user, making use of the Extinction Subtype Carnotaurus, both in battle, and on the dinner table, indulging in her favorite food: Meat.

## Appearance

Don'yoku is a slightly chubby, youthful girl of average height and decent musculature, although this is hidden by layers of fat built up as a result of her eating habits. She possesses a predominantly orange color scheme, having orange hair and amber eyes.

Don'yoku is also flat, something she isn't bothered by.

One of the most glaring traits of Don'yoku is a large tail and two fair-sized horns peaking at the top of her head. These are aspects of her quirk, Carnotaurus. The tail is rather heavy and contributes to her weight, and seems to betray emotion (Wagging when Don'yoku is happy, curling up when anxious). THe horns on her head may seem cosmetic, but they're noted to be quite sharp, with a faint smell of blood on them.

When Don'yoku achieves Aplos form, her appearance changes slightly; for one, the bumps on her tail grow spikier, and her teeth morph into that of Carnotaurus Sastrei, becoming well suited to digging into flesh. Unlike her sisters, Don'yoku's Aplos form comes out very easily, as a result of emotion or unexpected happenings.

## Personality

As the youngest of the three Taberu siblings, Don'yoku is noted for being quite immature. Lacking the ability to control her quirk with the same amount of ease as her sisters, she's scared off quite a handful of potential friends simply because she wasn't able to practice self control.

In order to ensure that everything was fine to everyone else, Don'yoku adopted a childish happy-go-lucky stance on life, in a desperate attempt to ensure that she doesn't fall into a depressive state. She's normally obsessed with the simple things of life while using this stance, such as food, sleep, and more food. While it worked, it didn't do favors for her social status, since it furthered her implications of immaturity. Internally, Don'yoku regretted coming up with the idea, but it was too late to go back.

When isolated from her childish facade, Don'yoku is rather somber and mellow, being incredibly levelheaded. Not as flirty as Sakana, nor as eager as Ono, the real Don'yoku is patient, assertive, and overall just a better person to be around. Sakana often comments on this as her being "Predatory", to Don'yoku's chagrin.

It's noted that Don'yoku's love for food is the same across facade and reality, it's just exaggerated more.

## Powers and Abilities

### Quirk Abilities

**Carnotaurus (カルノタウルス, Karunotaurusu):** Don'yoku is an AR quirk user, making use of the quirk Carnotaurus. With it, Don'yoku can invoke the abilities of a Carnotaurus, gaining extreme musculature, short broad teeth for gripping, well developed leg muscle, enhanced smell, and two small horns on her head. These horns can serve to both dissipate shock and as weapons, being very well suited to stabbing and tearing flesh. Exa form allows the user to run at ridiculous speeds, akin to a raging bull, using their momentum to improve their attacks; the more they move, the deadlier they are. The teeth also secrete a venom that prevents coagulation of wounds, incidentally interfering with healing quirks, and the horns grow longer. In all three forms, the user can make use of powerful concussive roars to knock flyers out of the sky, create tremors, or throw people off their feet. The potency varies as the user progresses their evolution. Like all Extinction Quirk users, Carnotaurus improves by eating a similar diet to the origin dinosaur, in this case, meat.

Don'yoku has rather poor control over her quirk, occasionally slipping into her Aplos form when feeling certain emotions, such as anger.

### Physical Abilities

* **Multilingualism:** Don'yoku can speak Spanish, Japanese, English, and Latin.
* **Enhanced Strength:** Understatement. With how much raw meat that Don'yoku eats, and the fact that the quirk improves it's passive abilities permanently when doing so, Don'yoku is capable of throwing an 19-wheeler loaded with 15 ton weights without breaking a sweat.
* **Enhanced Endurance:** Don'yoku can survive a bit longer without food and water than the average person.
* **Enhanced Durability:** Even if struck by another Extinction Quirk user's maw, or bowled over by an explosion, or tripping off a building, Don'yoku can still keep going.
* **Enhanced Roar:** Don'yoku gains access to a concussive roar, allowing her to literally scream at her opponents into submission. In her Exa Form, it's powerful enough to create miniature earthquakes.
* **Enhanced Smell:** Don'yoku has the sense of smell of 15 bloodhounds duct taped together

### Weakness

* **Momentum:** Don'yoku has issues with changing direction, having a very wide turn radius when sprinting.
* **Poor Quirk Control:** There have been incidents where Don'yoku almost bit someone's arm solely because they angered her too much.

## Trivia

* Don'yoku was originally going to be much more carefree, rather than have it be a facade
