## Biography

### Early Life

As a young girl, she was always praised for her outstanding appearance and dreamt of becoming a movie star. Eventually, she was signed on to her first major role as Melena Brooks in the film *Night Sky*, where she quickly gained popularity. Her immense beauty earned her the nickname “Midnight Goddess”.

### Boulevard Crash

Donna became an alcoholic, and during one of her drunk episodes, she sped across Hollywood Boulevard and ended up injuring an innocent child. The incident eventually named the “Boulevard Crash”, ended up damaging Donna’s career so much that she was cut from the fourth installment of the *Night Sky* series, which was projected to be one of the highest-grossing romantic movies of all-time. Her reputation then crumbled as she slowly fell into obscurity. Years after the incident, she still refuses to take the blame for the boy’s death, saying the boy shouldn’t have run across the road in the first place, although the security cameras at the scene of the incident showed Donna going way over the speed limit and running over a red light. At that point, she was past her prime in terms of her looks and career, she convinced herself that she was still the ‘Midnight Goddess’ everyone loved, staring in the mirror to admire herself every time she got the chance. While Donna’s career was in pieces, her husband Aldrich was still doing very well for himself as a businessman. Jealousy arose, and Donna developed a sadistic side, depriving him of sex on purpose to make him crave her affection.

## Personality

Having a strict daily routine, she tends to overdo her makeup even if she was staying in that day to give herself a false appraisal to feel beautiful. When she has an anxiety attack, she faces shortness of breath, fidgets with her clothes, and also touches upon her appearance impulsively. On one occasion when one of her fans mentioned the Boulevard Crash, she broke down and lashed out at him, after which she was arrested for verbal assault. This further damaged her reputation after the Boulevard Crash, which affected some of her major deals where she was removed by many of her sponsors.

## Appearance

She is still well-dressed after the Boulevard Crash when she goes out and appears extremely confident in herself when any of her fans (who still remain loyal to her) approach her on the street for autographs.

## Relationships

### Paul Kuiper

Paul Kuiper is the ex-boyfriend of Donna. A film adaptation of one of Paul's books starring Donna was planned to be released, but it was soon scrapped after their breakup.
