- —Dona to Yuna
Dona (ドナ, Dona?) is a summoner from Kilika in Final Fantasy X. Her only guardian is Barthello. She has a tendency of giving Yuna and her guardians a hard time. Two years later, in Final Fantasy X-2, she makes her home in Kilika and acts as a minor supporting character during the game.

Appearance and Personality
Edit
Dona has hazel eyes, dark skin and black hair tied up in a bun trailing into a ponytail, adorned with a feathery blue-white band. In the center of her forehead is a dark-red diamond mark similar to a tilak. She wears a revealing outfit consisting of an off-white bra on strings, dark blue thong, black stockings and heels and long off-white skirt split in the back and front fading into gray towards the bottom. Both front and back are cross laced. She also wears dark blue sleeves held by crossed white strings and yellow gloves accented with red crystals. She wears a red rope, reminiscent of Japanese ceremonial elements and miko accessories, tied crossways around her shoulders and in a large bow in the back.
At the beginning of Final Fantasy X, Dona is very rude towards Yuna and her guardians, causing trouble several times and insulting the rival summoner. After being kidnapped by the Al Bhed, she considers leaving the job of being a summoner to someone else.
In Final Fantasy X-2, she begins living in newly rebuilt Kilika and is a member of of recently found Youth League, whilst her lover Barthello has joined an opposing group, New Yevon. When the entire Kilika Woods is off-limits for everyone, Dona helps Yuna and her friends get past the guards in order to stop Ifrit's rampage in the Temple.
Dona is in love with Barthello; she hides it in Final Fantasy X and reveals it half-way in the sequel. Even if they are separated by being members of different groups, they still love each other.

StoryEdit
Final Fantasy XEdit
The party first meets Dona in the Kilika Temple. She treats Yuna condescendingly, and tries to put her down. Yuna asks her politely to leave. Later, when Tidus is told he cannot enter the Cloister of Trials as he is not yet an official Guardian, they show up again and try to get him (and Yuna by extension) into trouble by making the elevator go down with Tidus on it. She then appears on the boat to Luca, cuddling up to Barthello.
Added by KeltainentoukokuuDona later appears trying to gain access to Mushroom Rock Road during Operation Mi'ihen which she fails to do. If the player talks to her she explains they are not letting Summoners through, but will call on them eventually and returns to Rin's Travel Agency. If the player does not talk to her she witnesses Seymour managing to get Yuna into Mushroom Rock and leaves in a temper.
At Djose Temple Dona arrives just as Yuna begins praying to the Fayth and shows once more an arrogant attitude to the group and mocks Yuna over her relationship with Seymour and having Auron as a guardian commenting, "The world must look different when you're the daughter of Lord Braska".
Later, the party discovers a distressed Barthello in Macalania Woods, who says he has lost Dona. She has been captured by the Al Bhed. In the besieged Al Bhed's Home, Dona is found down in the Summoners' Sanctum with Yuna. The two have grown to become friends during their time together there. The Al Bhed kidnapped her because they did not want her to die just to save Spira with the Final Aeon.
The party meet her again later on the airship, doubting her abilities as a summoner. Depending on the player's answer, Dona and Barthello will either quit the pilgrimage and remain in the Djose Temple, or they will keep traveling and can be met again when going back to the Zanarkand Temple after defeating Yunalesca and obtaining the airship.
Final Fantasy X-2Edit
Added by Puck UdrocDona appears in Final Fantasy X-2, living in Kilika with Barthello and a staunch Youth League supporter, which causes a split between the two with Barthello going to Kilika Temple.
During the Great Sphere Hunt on the island she joins the Youth League's assault on the temple and is shocked when Yuna and the Gullwings steal the sphere. After the party decides which group to return the sphere to, her attitude to them becomes warmer or harsher, depending on who the player decides to give it.
Dona helps Yuna, Rikku, and Paine get in to Kilika Forest when fiends begin to pour out of the Temple by distracting the gate guard. Later, she is the main person the player converse with on the CommSphere in Kilika and through this the player gets her to reconsider her feelings for Barthello.
In the final chapter, if the player succeeds in Kilika, Dona reconciles with Barthello on Kilika Temple's steps, happily reuniting.
EtymologyEdit
The name "Donna" is a Latin name that means "Lady" or "Woman". "Dona" is the Spanish spelling.
TriviaEdit
- Interestingly, despite acting as a rival in Final Fantasy X, Dona is not fought even once.
- Upon meeting for the first time Yuna kneels to both Isaaru and Seymour, who are both summoners, but not to Dona.
