My Donna
During my years of service in the Buffy fandom there was a meme-ish sort of thing that went 'round a couple of times regarding the various characters. In particular, your take on said character; why they were the way they were etc. So I thought I'd drag out that old chestnut and give you the beginnings of my take on the lovely Donna Noble. It's ( Read more... )
That's lovely! Donna is awesome.
My favourite character is Seven, so:
- He can never resist a game. The best ones are the sort where he gets to make the rules, but he'll take on almost anything, just for the challenge, and he'll almost always win.
- He's lost that tiresome nobility. He's still fighting the good fight, but he's not averse to bending the rules to suit him. He likes to think his first self would have approved.
- He still cannot believe he ever wore that terrible jacket.
- He first takes Ace on board because he can use her. He never expected to grow to love her so much.
- Sometimes he sees a shadow in his eyes that he doesn't understand, and it scares him.
- Destroying Skaro felt good. He feels alternately ashamed and terrified by that.
- It was actually his fourth self who learned how to play the spoons; he'd forgotten until this regeneration that he knew how.
- Destroying Ace's faith is one of the hardest things he's ever done. He knows her voice will haunt him for the rest of his lives.
- He's seen one of his future selves: a tallish fellow with big ears and a leather jacket. The look of pain and suffering in that self's eyes still gives him nightmares.
There you go. I think I might post this at my own LJ, actually. Thanks for sharing your Donna!

Destroying Skaro felt good.
I think that's why Ten makes such loud proclaimations about the 'right thing to do'; he's trying to convince/remind himself as much as the people he's yelling at, because he remembers just how good it felt.

I think Ten tries very hard to forget how much blood is on his hands; post-Time War, he's suddenly the only one with the power to stop himself, and I don't think he's quite gotten the hang of it yet.

I think you're right about Ten. I think that's why Davros got to him in JE because what he said about 'the children of time' is true; they are basically Ten's arsenal. Whether they do it voluntarily is beside the point. Ten uses them as weapons. It's all very interesting.

Oh, definitely. Davros won that battle. Ten might be a technical pacifist now, but he has others to do his dirty work for him, and in times past, his hands weren't exactly clean anyway.
