Donna Deserves More: The Case for Supernatural's Most Underrated Character
The hunter who was almost a 'wayward sister' but still kicks ass.
The Supernatural TV show has a lot of underappreciated characters, with Donna being one of them. Despite her brief appearances in the show, Donna has made an impact on the fans with her strong personality and loyalty to her friends.
She has also shown her bravery and intelligence in various situations, making her an important member of the team. However, her character has not been given the recognition it deserves, with many fans unaware of her contributions to the show.
This is a shame, as Donna is a unique and well enough developed character who adds a spark to her scenes.
Donna was initially a somewhat annoying character on the Supernatural, especially upon learning that vampires and other supernatural creatures exist; but she eventually became a more interesting and likable character. This perception of Donna may be shared by a lot of fans of the show, as many have commented on her transformation from a skeptical and closed-minded sheriff to a brave and loyal friend of the Winchester brothers.
Some fans have even praised her for her sharp wit and humor, with one fan saying "Donna is hilarious, she has some great one-liners" and another fan stating "I love how she never backs down from a fight, she's a total badass".
Donna surely earned a lot of respect within Supernatural fandom with her toughness and raw hunting skills, which were showcased in an episode where her niece was kidnapped. Some fans have even wished that the proposed spin-off series Wayward Sisters featuring Donna and other female hunters had come to fruition.
While Donna is almost universally loved, there's still something about her that bugs some Supernatural fans. For one of the fans, Donna's biggest flaw is her accent. Despite being a character from Minnesota, the fan perceives her accent as having a Canadian twang, which they find annoying and inaccurate. The fan also mentions that Hollywood's portrayal of Minnesotan accents, such as the one used by Donna, is awful and not representative of the real accent. This perception of Donna's accent as a flaw may be shared by other fans of the Supernatural TV show.
