About Video Game Sophistry:
Video Game Sophistry is an opportunity to celebrate the creators and the artistry found in Video Games. I believe that Games are the most effective medium from experiencing another world, and another way to live. Expect to see a series of videos showcasing the narratives hidden in every game, interviews with game developers, along with our bench mark weekly podcast, Dialogue Wheel.
Andy Borkowski started this program nearly 10 years ago and, in that time, it has changed from a simple KZbin show, to a radio show, a TV show and now once again a KZbin destination. Welcome to VGS.

It's even possible that Donna and Claudia were twins, with a strong connection, like the sun and the moon on the family sigil. Donna looks like she could be born in 1987 as well. And if she is dressed in black, it's maybe to mourn her twin sister, which death could have really impacted her, and not to grief her parents, who are not really refered to in the lore. Maybe her father gave Donna the doll after Claudia's death, and she since talks to her like she used to talk to her twin sister. I know it's a lot of speculations and "Maybe", but that could make sense.

Maybe it shows that her history is even darker, it would explain why the baby is portrayed as oversized and why Mia (in the tapes) says the baby is too big. Maybe her mother was 9 (sadly there are real stories that shows it’s possible) but died in labour because Donna as a baby was too big for her body to handle.

[@mfbjo6854]

[@digimonalvatrax2738]

Dark theory: She was tired of Miranda's lies and purposefully wanted Ethan to end her life once she realised he could escape the baby fetus hallucination. That is why she did an easy hide and seek game instead of transforming. But the death seemed to painful and she kept running away as evidenced by the blood on the walls but eventually she managed to purposefully enraged Ethan to kill her.

[@jacobnorris8256]

@@emptyricebowl Why do you think that? Dimitrescu transforms into a monstrosity because her cadou assimilation is imperfect without regeneration, fish guy transforms because having an uncontrolled fish transformation is his whole gig and Heisenberg could "transform" sheerly because putting metal all around him is a practical form of combat defense (he doesn't literally transform, just makes a mech suit). Donna however had nothing to imply she'd be able to transform.

[@cal4021]

I personally think she couldn’t transform due to the fact that she split her cadou between the dolls leaving too little within herself to further mutate and transform idk tho

[@mattblom3990]

Interesting that Donna is the only lord not to leave a crystal. She leaves Angie, who functions similarly, but no crystal.

[@ihaveshitonmyhead9821]

I'd say is because she didn't have the opportunity to transform. Ethan killed her early. Before Ethan stab her for the last time, you can see those string things coming out of Angie. I'm curious about what her deformed version looks like.

[@frivolousarguments8578]

@@ihaveshitonmyhead9821 those things replace her scar.

[@sesslar2096]

It's possible she didn't leave a crystal because she split her cadau between her dolls. All the other bosses transformed into a monster and then crystallized when they died, but Donna may not have a transformation due to a much smaller amount of the parasite inside of her, and they may not be enough parasite to crystallized either

[@LXW-Arts]

People even check if Angie was hiding a crystal in her dress

[@gabadaba5436]

@@sesslar2096 this is just my own speculation, but it seems like the cadou transforms along with the host. When the host dies and turns to ash, the cadou also dies and crystallizes much like the 3 sisters. Using this train of thought, Donna splitting her cadou would explain why neither her nor Angie transformed, and why you don't get a crystal. Of course, that doesn't explain why you'd get one from heisenberg, but that might just be a game play thing

I can’t help but love Donna and Angie, their story is sad and makes us understand why she would kill for mother Miranda, it’s because she is now her literal mother and she loves her. Even so we actually never see her hurting anyone, and in the note where someone is talking about how happy they are she’s here makes her seem as if she was legitimately kind, even allowing this person to see glimpses of their deceased wife.

The Beneviento house was _terrifying._ The Dimitrescu castle was intimidating (for me), to be sure, and had its creepy parts, but there was a kind of a adrenaline rush to it, trashing such a grand place to get items and dodging Lady D hunting you down (which admittedly was too easy and made me wish was more terrifying). Donna's house, on the other hand, was _full_ creepy. Creepy and eerie, it encapsulated that slow-burn dread of horror, the total uncertainty of what you might see when you turn the corner and look to the end of the hall. Going there straight after the castle it also feels claustrophobic. It's a _nice_ house, objectively speaking (at one point when I entered the master bedroom I legit thought to myself "ohhh I wouldn't mind living here if this wasn't a horror story"), but the whiteish-grayish walls, the total quiet, the dimness and shadowed corners, and the lack of shiny things to gawk at just contributed to the overwhelming eeriness of the level. I dreaded every door I went through and every turn I made. The devs did a good job at crafting the aesthetics and vibes of each location, and Donna Beneviento's house is a testament to it.

When the white light goes away when you kill Angie, you can't see scissors on Ethan's hand. You also cannot see stab wounds on her head. Maybe he was punching her or bashing her head on the floor.

Alcina is physically 44 but she's way older because she was infected in the 1950s and she doesn't age because she has regen abilities, Heisenberg looks to be in his 40s but he was kidnapped as a child so I think he does age and Alcina calls him little brother. If Claudia was her sister that would mean Donna is literally in her 20s or early to mid 30s if she was born somewhere between the ages indicated on Claudia's grave stone that are 1987-1996, the games story happens in 2020/2021.
