Full Name: Donald Edward Booher
Gender: Male
Age: 16 [February 1, 1996]
Appearance:
Donald is a boy that has dark brown hair and brown eyes. He is five foot seven tall and weighs one hundred forty one pounds, his body is long, lean, and could be described as 'surfer like'. Donald is the boy that likes loose, casual, comfortable clothes. He hates wearing clothes that are tight, restrict his movements, and rub at him in the wrong way. He doesn't have any tattoos or piercings, but Donald does have a light pink star shaped birthmark on the back of his neck.
Background:
The path of Donald's life actually began before he was born, when his mother was pregnant with him. At the time his mother was dating his biological father, unknowing she was pregnant while on a date with him she began flirting with a man who was working one of the game booths at the carnival, causing Donald's biological father to leave her. When his mother found out she was pregnant, she continued dating and when she met the man that Donald knows as his father, she married him. The day Donald was born he was instantly adopted by the man his mother had married, the man accepted and loved Donald as his own even though biologically Donald wasn't his. From the very moment his mother was released from the hospital, however, Donald's mother has been stuck in perpetual rebellion and selfishness. His mother is a woman that for years has been going from man to man, house to house, enjoying the things men would buy her, give her, and the alcohol they would provide for her. By the time Donald was six years old he had five younger siblings, yet his mother continued her wild ways while he and his siblings were raised by their dad. Unlike Donald, however, his four younger siblings all biologically resembled his dad and were more favored by the extended family. The extended family as well as the woman Donald's dad married showed favoritism for his four younger siblings, not to mention his dad's divorce and then remarriage brought two older stepsisters into the picture. By the time Donald was eleven his family consisted of nine children and two adults. It was a very crowded, chaotic household with no privacy, but Donald was the one that felt he didn't truly belong and just didn't quite fit.
Life at home was torture for Donald, between his siblings always yelling and fighting. Thanks to his stepmother always beating on him, threatening him, and not letting him eat unless his dad was in the kitchen, Donald went from being a somewhat happy and playful child to a more withdrawn and distant individual. There were nights when Donald felt so emotionally stressed out, upset, unloved and unwanted that he hoped he'd die during the night so that he could escape it all. The way his stepmother and extended family treated him made Donald feel as if his living, that his being alive was causing them grief, pain, and other problems they didn't like to discuss. He truly felt as if he was causing problems for his family, that if he died they would all be happier and their lives would be more peaceful. Even with his stepmother beating him, however, Donald didn't tell his dad about it because he didn't want his father to be as lonely as he felt, so he kept his suffering to himself. The true depth of just how much Donald's stepmother hated him became evident one summer when she approached his dad's sister, his aunt, and claimed if she could kill him and get away with it she would. The hatred and disgust she felt for Donald came from the fact that she knew and hated Donald's biological father, but nobody wanted to tell Donald that he was adopted, that the man who named him and raised him wasn't his dad.
In school Donald wasn't that much better off, he was the boy that in elementary school was chubby and wore glasses. His peers used to throw spitballs at him, laugh at him, and being the sensitive young man he was there were times when Donald would get so upset that he’d leave class crying and looking for a place to hide so it would stop. Going through as much as he was Donald started stealing things, perhaps as a cry for attention. He would steal money that was laying around, candy, and other small things that he liked in an attempt to fill the void he felt inside. What stopped his thievery was the night of the sixth grade graduation dance, a classmate had talked him into going to the dance with her friends and he’d agreed. Dancing with a girl for the first time was awkward and Donald didn’t know where he was supposed to put his arms or hands, some of his classmates were there and started jeering and laughing at him because he supposedly had a ‘date’ that night. What ended up happening was that Donald left the dance, he went to the school office and stole a whole box full of candy and snacks, unaware the office had a security camera. He stashed a candy bar in his clarinet case in his teacher’s classroom and took the rest home. At home Donald stuffed the candy and snacks he’d stolen in small boxes and an empty coffee can, hiding it under his bed. What punishment he got from doing it Donald can’t remember, it’s like his mind blocked it out because it was so horrible. All he can really remember is that one minute it was like he was hiding the stolen candy in the coffee can and the next he was opening it to find the candy was gone.
The summer before high school Donald stopped playing the clarinet. He doesn’t know what happened to the instrument, but he didn’t feel the desire to continue playing it in high school. In high school, Donald was still the shy, awkward, sensitive boy he was in elementary school. The only difference was he was a bit taller, he wasn’t so chubby anymore, and he was maturing. Being in high school was different in quite a few ways, some of which Donald wasn’t too fond of. Though he loved art, science, and sometimes enjoyed math class Donald hated gym class. The locker rooms were the worst, he was too nervous, self conscious, and embarrassed to change clothes in the locker room with the other boys. He didn’t want them to see him naked, and seeing them naked made him blush, and he felt weird about watching them fool around the way guys do in locker rooms because it made him feel funny. The only way Donald found to cope with gym class was by having the principal ask the gym teacher if he could change in private in the weight room instead of the locker room, to this day Donald has never showered in the school locker room with the other boys, he’s very modest.
It was perhaps six months ago that Donald finally had an emotional breakdown, all the stress at home and from school that he had been suppressing finally came rushing to the surface. His dad’s sister told him he was adopted and it was that coupled with all the years of abuse he’d suffered at home and the pressure of high school that sent Donald into an emotional breakdown. He ended up running away from home and heading for the Professor's lab. Nobody wanted him at home, and he'd always loved pokemon, so he decided to be a trainer.
Personality:
The first impression Donald usually leaves the people he doesn’t know with is that he is a shy, soft spoken, withdrawn individual that likes to keep to himself. His love of reading, writing, and being online means when he’s at home you can usually find him in his bedroom keeping to himself and staying out of trouble, or trying to. He likes reading books of fiction, writers like Anne Rice and J. K. Rowling. Donald is a very organized person at home, in school, and at work. He’s the type of person that likes things to be organized in a specific way so that if something goes missing or is out of place he can practically sense it. Diagnosed as having Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Donald is the boy you would see organizing an unorganized display of scarves in the department store to put them in an appealing order of lights in the front and darks in the back, making sure the scarves of the same colors were all together in one area. There are times when Donald can be quite the perfectionist, he likes doing things his way and normally isn’t satisfied unless things are done his way or meet with his approval.
Donald is the type of person that needs other people, his greatest fear is being alone. No, not alone as in the only person in a room, but the only person around or alive. He's the type of guy that is more secure when he can hear or see other people around him, even when he's alone in his bedroom doing things on his laptop he turns on his television so that it feels like there's someone else in the room. If you were to lock Donald in a room alone and he didn't have access to another person that he could talk to or touch he would start crying and begging you to let him out. When put in a situation like that Donald begins to panic, the walls start looking like their pulsating as if they're alive and he starts hearing whispering voices in his head, he literally starts going crazy. No, Donald isn't claustrophobic, but he is emotionally dependent on knowing there are other people around him, alive and touchable that he can talk to and interact with, having other people around him is his metaphorical security blanket.
When it comes to having goals they change for Donald day by day, when there are things he has to do Donald is the type that will make a list of what he has to do either on paper or in his head and will go through the list repeatedly as he moves from one task to the next. His approach to tasks or assignments is methodical, but Donald is also creative and intelligent. He's a boy that feels color can effect a persons mood, that there are things in the world that can't be explained because they aren't meant to be explained, that on some level there are multiple dimensions or planes of existence on which we live though consciously bound to the here and now of this world. The only real goals Donald can say he has and that have never really changed are to find love, have a family, and that he has a desire to work with children, to help them and use what he's been through to help others.
Fear, that is one thing Donald knows well. Thanks to his past Donald knows there are multiple levels of fear, different types of fear, and has experienced a range of these fears personally. His fear of snakes comes from a camping trip during which he was barefoot and a water snake slithered across his feet in the dark, Donald's fears come from either experience or paranoia. Donald's fear of rats is an example of a fear that comes in two parts, he isn't afraid of rats as in the animal, but he fears being eaten alive by them because he knows they are scavengers and he's seen movies where hordes of rats were eating people alive like popcorn from a bag. His fear of heights is a fear that seems illogical, but which Donald doesn't like talking about because when he claims to be afraid of heights he comes across as being a hypocrite. This occurs because if you lift Donald anywhere between a few inches to at least twelve feet off the ground and he'll beg you to let him down, get him down, or put him down. Lift him higher than that, however, and it's like his fears fall away and a look of blissful content comes over him. If he's lifted higher than twelve feet comfort seems to take over because Donald feels like he's flying, that he's no longer bound to the earth by gravity.
Donald is attracted to a person that isn't afraid to cry, a person who is sensitive and somewhat insecure themselves. He is the type of guy that likes to see that people are human, that they're able to feel pain, are open to love, and that they truly want to be loved because they're searching for their soulmate, the one for them. When it comes to romance Donald isn't very experienced, but he knows what he wants. Donald is the type that likes cooking for other people, he holds doors for them, and enjoys being able to put his arms around a person, holding them, nuzzling against their neck, softly kissing their skin or kissing them, and just being close to them. He's attracted to people that aren't afraid to embrace the physical but sensual aspect of a relationship, that don't shy away from affection or attention he might give them whether they are in public or somewhere alone. Donald is a guy who would rather sit down and talk about things, work out the differences he and his partner have than fight or scream. When things go wrong between him and another person Donald internalizes the guilt, he tends to blame himself and think that there's something wrong with him, that he was the one who did something wrong and wasn't good enough for the other person. Despite how confident, open, and shameless Donald behaves online or in chat rooms he's really a self conscious, insecure individual who just wants to be loved and appreciated.
As far as turn offs go Donald hates violence in either verbal or physical form, he hates fighting. He doesn't like being screamed at or having other people bringing him down, making him feel so low he feels like feces, he's a person that naturally puts the needs and desires of others before his own, and in that way he is very naive, gullible to the point that people often end up taking advantage of his good nature. Loyalty, honesty, respect, monogamy, and communication, those are the things Donald asks for in a relationship. If you can't give Donald those, then he really doesn't feel as if he should put in the effort it might take for him to feel you love him or are on friendly terms.
