Donny

is a member of the Katz Street Troupe, later appointed as a Holy Knight of Liones and member of the Percival Platoon.

Appearance
Donny is a tall teenager, with long red hair and is a bit burly.

Donny wears a white button-down shirt, which leaves part of his chest uncovered, and black pants with some kind of pockets on the sides, and a pair of light-colored boots. Before leaving Liones, Donny receives a new outfit composed of a turtleneck shirt with long gloves, black pants and blacksmith's apron with the oruboros symbol in the center.

Personality
At first, Donny comes of as a self-loathing coward who cares mainly about himself, showing little to no interest in anything other than getting money for his shows with Katz and Elva, and even being selfish enough to steal from someone he thought was an abandoned child and run away. His better side is shown when he protected Percival from the attack of a wolf monster and even told Percival to run when the monster attacked again, despite being the more injured one and in more mortal danger.

Donny is one of the more caring and compassionate members of the group, as shown when he refused to use his dagger because he didn't want to make anyone bleed. He cares a lot about other people, almost to the point of selflessness, and even when he feels like there's nothing he can do to help those he cares for, he always puts in his best.

History
Donny used to train as a Holy Knight apprentice under his uncle Howzer alongside his friend Edlin. However, seeing that he lacked the strength to become a Holy Knight, Donny dropped out of training and joined the Katz Street Troupe alongside Katz and Elva.

Percival arc
Donny was without much interest on his part with Katz and Elva, rehearsing their performances. At that they are interrupted by Percival who applauds them for their performances. Donny tells him that he should pay them for the show, to which Elva reproaches him that he only saw them negotiate. Percival tells them that he doesn't know what money is, to which Donny asks him to take it from his bag and then offers to show him his performance by making him float in the air. The group escaped in their wagon with the bag to distract him, leading Elva to reproach Donny for it. When Kaltz wonders who it is, Donny says it must be a lost orphan. However, Percival manages to catch up with them and run past them. Donny returns his bag and Percival tells them that he is looking for his father Ironside who killed his grandfather. After offering to take him to a nearby town, Donny asks if he has anything to add to his show. Percival tries to show them his archery, shooting Donny by accident.

Donny belittles Percival's amazement at his tricks during the journey, saying they are no real power. In that, two villagers ask for help from the Holy Knights for a wolf that attacks their town. Donny rushes to town hoping to get money by getting rid of the wolf until he arrives and discovers that it is a gigantic monster wolf. Donny tries to get them to escape, but seeing Percival jump to save the villagers, Donny goes to save him when the wolf attacks him saying that he felt his inner fire reignite. They all watch in amazement as Percival manages to defeat the wolf with one blow.

After Kaltz treats the wound left by the wolf, Donny joins the town party in honor of Percival. While they drink, Donny is surprised to discover that Percival is the same age. They are suddenly interrupted by a Holy Knight, Pellegarde, who starts a fight with Percival by saying that he knows his father. Despite Elva's refusals, Donny decides to intervene by making Pellegarde levitate so that Percival can escape, but the boy doesn't understand his intentions. Pellegarde unleashes a blast of fire that leaves Donny and Percival at their mercy, but there appears a fox that uses an Incantation Orb to teleport them away.

Upon awakening, Donny notices that they are in Dragon Back-Bone a mountain 30 miles from the town they were in. The fox then lets them know that he saved them, leaving Donny shocked to see a talking fox. The fox then reveals that Percival is one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse, four Holy Knights prophesied to destroy the world, and that he was sent to find them. Percival denies being such a thing and that he only seeks to find his father, to which the fox, named Sin, tells him that he is in Camelot. Donny explains that Camelot is a kingdom that was destroyed during the war against demons 16 years ago, but Sin states that Camelot still exists but that to get there they must first go to Liones. Donny doesn't believe him, but Percival decides to go with Sin and convinces Donny to join them.

Echo Gorge arc
On the way to Liones, the trio decide to stop for a meal, which Percival suggests a competition to see who catches the biggest bird prey. Donny is confused with the personality of the supposed "knight of the apocalypse" and then asks him to give him his bow and arrows. Donny fails to capture any prey with the bow, earning Sin's taunts. In that, a scream after a lost arrow leads them to meet a young giant woman. When some fairies appear talking about a boy who got into the Echo Gorge, Donny tells them that it must be Percival. Fairies explain that Echo Gorge used to be beautiful but now it's hell.

Upon entering the Echo Gorge and being attacked by monstrous animals and plants, Donny tells the fairies that it is the work of a boy named Nasiens, although Dolores denies it. After finding Percival in the company of Nasiens, Donny explains the situation to him. After Naseins revives Echo Gorge and its truth is revealed, a monstrous Ordo appears controlled by a strange fairy. Donny shoots several arrows at the fairy, missing all of them, although a different arrow manages to hit it, revealing that the fairy was a puppet controlled by Talisker.

After Percival defeats Talisker, Nasiens decides to join the group. Donny is reluctant for his attitude and for calling Percival his "guinea pig", but Percival agrees to have him join. Saying they need transportation to get to Liones, Nasiens suggests going to Sistana to get it, starting an argument with Donny.

Sistana arc
When the group stops to eat, Donny uses his magic to catch a fish. After enjoying the food that Percival cooks for them and having some roses with Nasiens, they discussing the events that Percival, Donny and Sin went through before meeting Nasiens,Donny berates Sin for not having used his only Incantation Orb to take them to Liones.

Upon reaching Sistana, a mini golem leads them to find a piece of the Coffin of Eternal Darkness buried. Hearing Nasiens and Sin saying that it is an ancient relic, Donny is excited to be able to sell it. A girl suddenly arrive and warns them to leave it and to kill them if they intend to give it to "that man".

Although Donny tries to explain that they happened to find it, Anghalhad pulls out his rapier and attacks him, managing to dodge and knock him down quickly. She then demands that Percival give her the piece and to her surprise, the boy kindly gives it to her. A maid appears telling Anghalhad that she must return for the dance that is about to begin. Anghalhad rushes to return the Coffin's piece to Percival demanding that he hide it and not let anyone see it, especially Ironside. She then leaves with her maid.

At night, the four of them stay at an inn. Nasiens explains to them that the girl is the daughter of the Lord of Sistana and Donny wonders what problem he has with them and the Coffin's piece. They then spy on Ironside's speech to the townspeople, revealing that he owns the other pieces of the Coffin. Sin reveals to them that Ironside plans to kill everyone in town to activate the Coffin magic. Sin suggests that they escape with the missing piece, but Percival sets out to save Anghalhad when she interrupts the speech. Nasiens, Sin, and Donny run to the inn, but discover the maiden stealing the piece, actually being Ironside's familiar in disguise. After meeting with Percival and Anghalhad, Donny reluctantly agrees to help them stop Ironside.

During the fight that breaks out with Ironside, Donny decides to run away upon seeing the power of the Holy Knight. As he runs, Donny sees all the townspeople suffering from Ironside's monsters, leading him to feel like a coward. Donny finally returns to battle by making a dramatic forced entrance. When wondering about Percival, several of his mini golems absorb him as Ironside use his Ragna Claw. However, a revived Percival saves everyone with his magical power, which is revealed to be the power of Hope.

Ironside launches his attacks at him, forcing Percival to fly all over the place to evade them. Donny uses his telekinetic powers to levitate the Coffin away from Ironside, allowing Percival to re-divide it. Donny then captures the Dragon Handle. Ironside claims they haven't stopped him as he just has to kill them and reassemble the Coffin and gather more sacrifices from Britannia. However, another Holy Knight, Mortlach, appears stopping him from continuing the fight and reminds him that whoever destroyed the monsters he summoned must be someone as strong as the Seven Deadly Sins, so in the face of such a threat, it is best for them to retreat.

As everyone twists after the hard battle, Anghalhad reproaches Donny for escaping and tells him that they would all be dead if it were not for Percival. Donny and the rest ask Sin who he called to get rid of the monsters, not believing him when he says they were his "forest friends".

The next day, Carden fires them thanking them for what they did. Donny asks him that he knows Ironside, revealing that he is an old acquaintance of his wife, who like him was a Holy Knight of Camelot. Anghalhad then appears and Percival invites her to join the group.

Cant arc
When the group arrives the town of Cant, Donny immediately spots a bar and heads right towards it. With the rest of the group, he receives new Castoffs that Anghalhad bought with some of their money. After that, in the bar the group meets an already drunk Howzer. Howzer then spots that Donny is holding Meliodas' Dragon Handle, and quickly snatches it away, accusing Donny of stealing it and saying that it would be very dangerous if it fell into the wrong hands. Repeatedly, Howzer makes it clear, mainly with his fist, that he does not see Donny as fit for anything, whether it be Holy Knight training or keeping the Dragon Handle safe. He then tells that Donny's mother must be disappointed that her son ended up spineless and not fit to be a Holy Knight. After Nasiens challenges Howzer to a drinking contest, he reveals that Edlin previously trained with Donny to become a Holy Knight, but is now the boss of the group of bandits that are present.

After Nasiens uses Misty Rain - Belladona to make everyone in the tavern faint, Donny escapes outside where he then meets Edlin who proposes that Donny joins him in his bandit gang where he can steal from passerby's and travelers. Edlin claims that he iss the only one who really understands Donny, to which he replies that Edlin has changed. After his former friend reveals that he has captured the rest of his group, Donny runs back to the tavern to see a giant dragon that Edlin has apparently tamed. Edlin hopes that seeing this dragon will convince Donny to join him, since now even Holy Knights can not challenge them. Donny ends up running away from Edlin, who orders some of his gang members to hunt after him, Donny only evading them by hiding under the platform by the support beams.

When other bandits ask him about giving the prisoners a taste, Edlin demands that they not speak nonsense and look for Donny, to which the bandits beat him for treason with a rock and take the dragon's egg. However, when the dragon appears, the bandits drop the egg revealing that it was a fake copy. Edlin tries to reason with the dragon, but it starts a furious havok.

Edlin is saved from the fall after the destruction of the place by Donny, who supports him with his magic until Edlin is held by a beam. Edlin laments that he has failed as a bandit as well as a Holy Knight. He asks Donny how his life as a traveler has done, to which Donny says that he is going to go back to training as a Holy Knight. Edlin is shocked as he quit for fear of dying, but Donny says that he now wants to protect his friends. When Percival arrives, he takes both of them in his magic while he fights the Ancient Dragon. After distracting the dragon with an illusion of Percival, Edlin escapes with the others on Anghalhad's horse, until Howzer arrives and defeats the dragon.

Howzer asks Donny and Edlin if they are okay, then he is asked by Percival, who is amazed at how he fought, about whether he can become a Holy Knight as strong as him, to which Howzer says there are many stronger than him. When the baby dragon arrives to meet with his mother, Howzer states that now she will no longer be a danger to the town and that he will take care of it otherwise.

After making amends with Edlin, Howzer apologizes to Donny for not having trusted him and asks him what led him to act as he did if he was afraid of dying, to which Donny tells him that his mother asked him before he died to live, which Howzer says that he feels bad about what he said. However, Donny says that he now wishes to be a Holy Knight who lives for his friends. However, Howzer is still reluctant to return the Dragon Handle to him as this would mean that Camelot's forces would pursue him relentlessly as the relic has the power to turn the tables in battle against them. Donny decides to give up the Dragon Handle to Percival out of fear.

Dalflare Range arc
As the group heads up the mountains, Donny is proud of how his uncle inspired Percival. Camping for the night, Anghalhad asks Sin why this place is called the Dark Range. Sin tells him that there are stories that spiritual powers there show visions of your future self or possible lovers, although she is scared to hear that there are also tribes of man-eating ogres and dimensional caverns with no escape.

The next day everyone regrets knowing that there are still four days of travel left. Stopping to urinate, Donny and Percival find a strange village and slip into it, with Donny hoping to drink some ale. There they are received by the locals who give them a banquet. Nasiens go to help Donny who is revealed to only have a bad reaction to the drink, the two then are surprised to see Percival talking to a boy in a strange language he has never heard before. After destroying the idol, the villagers are revealed to be demons. Anghalhad and Sylvan run away terrified thinking they will be eaten, taking a shock when Percvial, Nasiens and Donny are with one who turns out to be friendly. As the Elder of the village explains that now the barrier that protects the place is gone, the enemy is able to enter,. Ardbeg, a Holy Knight of Camelot, locks up all the demons of the village in an Amber of the Four Archangels, despite the Elder trying to explain that the demons of the village are deserters who refused to fight in the Holy War.

After Percival is forced to fight the beast Cernunnos, Ardbeg flees to the Crystal Grotto, where he manages to evade Percival's group and have enough time to use his magical power, Reverse, to turn them into babies. When the Elder appears and reveals his identity as Gowther the Goat's Sin of Lust, he prevents Ardbeg from going ahead with his plans.

When everyone returns to normal, Anghalhad shudders to see that they are all naked. Wondering what happened to Ardbeg, Gowther offers to explain, leaving them confused as to his identity.

Leaving the town, Sin argues with Donny about staying with Gowther and insists that they hurry so their pursuers do not catch up.

Upon reachin the Entangled Forest, Sin and then Anghalhad suggest to lure their pursuers there but the girl lacks of any idea of how to do it.

Entangled Forest arc
Upon fooling the Dark Talismans using Percival's mini golems to separate them, the group prepare to ambush each one individually since Sin says that they have no chance otherwise. Elgin is the first to be ambushed. He demands to know which of them is Percival, he shows up being blocked by his companions. Determined to eliminate him, Elgin quickly shoves Anghalhad and Nasiens out of the way, sending them tumbling into the void. Elgin threatens Donny telling him to give him ten seconds to run away, but Donny refuses using his magic to float Anghalhad and Nasiens. The four then attack Elgin at the same time with his weapons, although he manages to avoid the damage. Elgin praises their combo, dismissing any special mention towards Donny. Saying that they dug his graves when facing him alone in that place, Elgin throws his Epicurean's Slaver and after sticking his sword in the branch that everyone was on, it begins to shatter. Donny manages to use his magic to hold it, but Elgin does great damage to him and Percival with a few small blows. Nasiens notices the debilitating properties of magic from him, Wither.

After Nasiens and Percival defeats Elgin, the group advences trought the forest flying in Percival's aura. However, they are pursued by Doronach and Burgie thanks to their flying horse, Sleipnir. Burgie attacks them with her Wind Sickles and then cuts them off with Sand Wall. As Anghalhad and Donny decide to confront them, Donny finds himself in trouble against Doronach's Impact power, as Sin points out that it has a greater range than his floating power. However, Sin manages to make this work in their favor by having the Impact give Anghalhad the necessary boost to separate Burgie from her magic staff.

As Donny refuses to stop escaping, Doronach insists that they confront each other directly and without magic. Donny then engages Doronach with his dagger, displaying great skill, being able to repeatedly slash his opponent quickly and efficiently. When Percival asks why he never showed that ability before, Donny says that he never liked to cut people, to which the rest consider him an idiot. Doronach manages to stop the bleeding by contracting his muscles, forcing Donny to levitate him to which Doronach responds with his own power. Knocked down, Donny says that his useless magic can't beat him, but Sin explains that he is limiting himself since magic can stretch as far as his imagination. Following Sin's instructions, Donny manages not only to levitate Doronach but to launch him trough the air by imagining that he is a stone in his hands. Sin reveals that Donny's power is not "Float", but the ability to freely move objects, Telekinesis.

When Fiddich arrives and criticizes the performance of his companions, he declares that he no longer intends to eliminate Percival and the rest without pain, but to give them a painful death and in desperation for humiliating them. Once Elgin joins them, Fiddich uses an Incantation Orb to heal his teammates' injuries with a Hyper Recovery Spell. Losing all hope,Donny convinces himself that they are done, but Sin and Percival manage to raise everyone's morale to continue fighting.

As Fiddich indicates his fellow Talismans to eliminate Sin first, who acts as their commander, he locks the four with Sin in a Perfect Cube so that the others do not interfere. However, this backfired as Sin returned to his true form, revealing himself to be Lancelot, and taking down the Dark Talismans one after another. Seeing who he really is, Anghalhad is reluctant to trust Lancelot and demands to know who he really is and why he disguised himself as a fox. Lancelot uses some arrows to make three graves for the deceased Elgin, Doronach and Burgie, explaining as he buries them that he is a servant of the king of Liones, sent in order to find the potential Four Knights of Apocalypse and bring them and their companions to the kingdom guiding and protecting them without interfering too much in order to see if the prophesied knights had the will to overcome the obstacles that came their way. Thus, he disguised himself as a fox so that the Holy Knights of Camelot would not discover him.

When Pellegarde appears, Lancelot says they do not have time to play with him and uses an Incantation Orb to teleport away leaving Pellegarde with the words in the mouth. The group suddenly appears in the Kingdom of Liones, and Lancelot says that the king is waiting for them.

They eventually find him being attacked by the Tristan Platoon, so the three of them promptly get up to intervene, with Donny throwing a barrel to them with his magic.

The group encounters a man fighting a Holy Knight, whom they initially believe to be Gawain, but who is revealed to be Pellegarde. Upon getting engulfed in the fire of Pellegarde's power, Donny is protected along everyone else by Percival's power. Anghalhad along with Nasiens and Donny watch as the Four Knights of Apocalypse gather and urge them to end the fight, but are alarmed when Percival is kidnapped after trying to reason with Pellegarde. Lancelot then goes to the castle telling the three of them to wait there for Percival and the others to return.

The three then rush to where Percival and the rest were fighting Chaos Galand and Chaos Melascula, but arrive after they have already been defeated. As all the Holy Knights present offer their full service to the Four Knights of the Apocalypse, Donny appreciates the idea of ordering the Holy Knights around.

Donny carries Gawain on his back away from the battle, she wakes up to see Tristan defeat Melagaland and Arthur arriving at the kingdom, apologizing for the presence of her uncle who reproaches her for running away without permission. Gawain then tries to get Donny to react when he is paralyzed by Arthur's power and then the two are stunned to see how Lancelot manages to overcome Arthur.

The night after the battle, Anghalhad is upset when Percival, Nasiens, and Donny insist on staying in the same room as her. When the girl says that the attitude of the citizens bothers her, Donny says that the duty of a Holy Knight is protecting people even if they don't repay them, leading Anghalhad to get upset at his words.

Current arc
The day after the battle, Jade and Chion find Donny leaving his grandparents' house. Learning that he is Howzer's nephew, Chion scoffs at how he abandoned training and ran away and how his magic power only allows him to float things. Donny initially brushes him off saying that he is used to being made fun of, but when Chion insults Percival as well, Donny abruptly pulls him away with his Telekinesis and angrily tells him not to let him insult him. The feud is stopped by Gilthunder who informs Donny that he has an audience with the king.

Already in the castle, Donny scolds Percival's lack of protocolar speech before entering the throne room where they are received by Queen Elizabeth, leaving Donny surprised that a girl so beautilful could have a son of his same age. When Meliodas appears groping Elizabeth's breasts, the three are surprised to find out that he is in fact the king. Although Meliodas thanks them for everything they have done so far, the three of them are sad. When Meliodas tells them that it is time to say goodbye, Donny and the others explains to Percival that they are not Holy Knights nor do they have the strength to fight alongside him. Though Percival pleads with them not to part, they tearfully deny him, as Dinny shouts that he is the one who must save the world. However, Meliodas interrupts them saying that they misunderstood him and to everyone's surprise, he officially appoints Nasiens, Donny and Anghalhad Holy Knights and asks them to continue helping Percival. They ask why he told them to say goodbye, to which Meliodas explains that he meant to say goodbye to their old lives until the war with Camelot was over. Meliodas apologizes to them for leaving the fate of the world in their hands, but he tells them that he is counting on them to help him protect Britannia. Despite happily accepting, everyone is furious at being tricked.

Donny and Percival express their joy at being named Holy Knights, but are shocked when Anghalhad denies deserving the title. When Elizabeth convinces her by praising her actions from the day before, Donny laments that no one will praise his actions as well. Meliodas then leads the new formed Percival Platoon to the war room where the other members of the Four Knights of Apocalyse and the Tristan Platoon were gathered to discuss the situation with Camelot. When Anghalhad ask why are they fighting a kingdom that was destroyed 16 years ago, Thetis explains that Camelot was recreated in an alternate dimension by the power of Chaos but are now starting this war because there is a price to pay in order to rebuilt and maintain the new Camelot. To further expose her words, she uses her magic to teleport everyone to a landscape that has been stripped of various parts, leaving only empty spaces. Meliodas explain that it is the result of Arthur creating a new Camelot, something he heard from Percival's grandfather who was a former Holy Knight of Camelot. When Thetis reveals that a former Holy Knight of Liones killed the prisoner who was their only means of getting to Camelot, Donny is upset that no one stopped her and questions that Meliodas didn't go while he could instead of waiting for Percival. This leads Meliodas to reveal that he couldn't because he is a demon, leading Donny to confirm that rumor. When everyone is left despairing that they have no way to get to Camelot, Donny and the others are shocked when Percival suggests they go on an adventure together to find a solution.

After this, Donny went to pay respect to his grandparents before leaving.

On the day that everyone will finally set off in search of a way to Camelot, Meliodas divides the Four Knights into search teams. The Percival Platoon is appointed to the Fairy King's Forest. Donny is shocked to discover that Lancelot never used his full power, because no weapon can withstand his magic.

After leaving, the group arrives at Wallnack deciding to all stay there one night before splitting up in Dalmary. As everyone decides how to split up the inn's rooms,Donny ends up sharing a room with Nasiens and Jade. There, Jade and Donny arrive to make amends for the differences between their two groups. When they start talking about the girls they like, Donny says that he likes the Queen Elizabeth type, though Jade says that's out of her league. When Jade comments that Nasiens has a crush on Anghalhad, Donny scoffs that he likes a stubborn stuck-up girl.

When they all decide to go to the local festival together, Donny lights a torch in memory of his mother telling her that he managed to become a Holy Knight. When Chion and Isolde despair that Tristan left alone with a strange woman, Donny scoffs at what they could be doing together, taking a beating from both of them.
