Donna Martin

""I look at you, and I see my best friend. Your energy and your passion inspire me in ways I never thought possible. Your inner beauty, so strong, that I no longer fear being myself. I no longer fear at all. I never thought that I could find someone, that I could love, that would love me back unconditionally. Then I realized, that although we were often apart, you were always with me. You were my soulmate. You give me purpose when I feel I have none. Without you, my soul would be empty, my heart broken, my being incomplete. I thank God everyday that you were brought into my life, and I thank you for loving me."

Biography
Donna is an easy-going, good-spirited character with a rational, occasionally bold personality. She is introduced as a student of West Beverly High, and was born to John and Felice Martin. Throughout high school, she forged bonds with seven friends who she would know well into her adult life, including her eventual love interest David Silver. Of the girls Donna knew during high school, she was closest to Kelly Taylor and Brenda Walsh. It was during this period that Donna declared her intentions to remain a virgin for the foreseeable future. This decision would occasionally draw her and David apart from one another in the times to come. Donna struggled in High School though she tried to keep it a secret. She hid her insecurities by focusing on looking fashionable and being popular. At some point, she began to rebel by smoking cigarettes, skipping class, and hanging out with the wrong crowd, and it wasn't until she was confronted by Brenda that she was able to face that she had an issue, realizing that she wasn't stupid, but that she had a learning disability. Additionally, Donna found support from Brenda when she caught her mother cheating on her father.
