About Character
Name: Donna Eryn Wright.
Nicknames: Don, Don-Don, Donny, Wrighty (None of which she seems keen on).
Role: Jellylorum & Griddlebone.
Age/Year: 30-31/10/1978
Tour Date: Roughly two years.
Home Town: Killarney, Southern Ireland.
Appearance: Donna is your average woman, not some tall and skinny model who looks more like an emaciated dog than a human. She actually rather small, coming to only five foot four height wise, but it is something that doesn’t really phase her. Of course, she always has people leering over the top of her who appear the Eiffel tower from her height. She is not really chucky, per say, but neither is she truly stick thin. She is about a size ten to twelve but once again, it is not usually something she lets on she worries about. Donna rather like to wear long, hip length tops, which often appear more like dresses, with calming colours and matching cardigans over the top. She does try to make herself appear presentable, but sometimes she is happy to just bung on old jeans and a t-shirt. She does rather favour converse brand trainers.
Donna has long, naturally curly, red hair which – depending on her mood – can either be straightened, curly, tied up or down. She is currently in favour of straight and long, though occasionally changes styles but never streaks. Her arms and face are lightly freckled and unlike most with her hair colour, she has a tanned complexion. Donna likes simple jewellery, and usually only wears a small necklace, watch and a few bands on her wrist. She must, however, leave home with them all on, or she will often feel like her day is going wrong. She does not have anything pierced, yet she does have two tattoos, on both her arms. However, they are done in black light ink and therefore can only be see when black light is present. The rest of the time, they lines are white and hardly visible.
Celeb Appearance: Catherine Tate.
Personality: Donna is…Donna; unique as the day is bright. Her personality is complex, so much so that she hasn’t discovered half of her true self. If you asked her to describe herself, she would give you simple words such as quiet, shy and even independent but she’s so much more. She often contradicts her own personality, depending on the situations she’s in and her mood. In all truth, she has no real, set character to herself. Because, although she’s thirty, she still discovering aspects of her inner self so well new situations arise, she is often pleasantly surprised by herself.
When it comes to friends, Donna is exceptionally bad. She’s terrible, truly terrible. Donna is one of those people who judges the book by the cover and if she doesn’t like the look of the cover, she’ll usually just walk away. Unless, of course, the book or rather person starts to talk and changes her mind, because usually once she gets to know people for who they really are, she grows to love them. Once she does love them, by god she’ll protect them with her life. One thing that never really changes about Donna is her completely ridiculous loyalty to things and people. Even if she’s hurt by someone, or for some weird reason they’ve drifted apart, she still adores them for all they are worth. In a fight, she set herself before them and takes the main blow, even if she should be involved.
Donna is very, very cuddly. When you meet her and before you leave her (when you’re a close, trusted friend anyway) you’ve got to hug her, or else she becomes a little gloomy. She enjoys to just sit quietly with friends, cuddling up to them on the sofa whilst they talk and she just listens. Though if you get her going, she will just talk and talk and talk, to you tell her to shut up. One way you can tell if Donna likes/is comfortable with you, or nervous is when she traces with her fingers – gently brushing the tip of her fingers or circles of eight. If she traces her own leg, its often a sign of nervousness, boredom or thought. If she traces a friend’s legs, it can mean she’s comfortable with them or maybe even likes them. Any other part of the body if often a sign of affection.
Speaking of affection, when it comes to guys and girls, Donna plays both sides of the fence but often leans more to women. She’s had less bad experiences with women. Secretly, she’s always analysing new people from a distance but never lets them know.

History: Donna Eryn Wright was born in Killarney; a popular tourist in the southwest part of Ireland, no more than a stones throw away from the well know Torc waterfall. Born at home with the help of a midwife, it was noted that the baby girl was rather small with yellowish skin. Her father, Dougal Wright, joked she was a “Simpsons” baby whilst her mother was struck with sheer worry, suspecting jaundice. After this unusual birth, both mother and daughter were taken to the hospital where Donna spent her first few weeks of life. At first, she wouldn’t feed nor open her eyes, but at her yellow skin began to fade, the little baby soon burst into happiness and couldn’t eat enough.
Donna was the second child of the Wright’s, second daughter too. Their first was Laurel Rae, aged four at Donna’s birth. The first born was ecstatic to have a younger sister at first, but as the novelty wore off, Laurel soon became bored of the baby and spent more time away from the house hold and soppy baby talk. Donna’s first few years went by without a hitch, the odd bump or two however, could hardly be avoided. Including a scar from an unfortunate accident with a table, which slashed straight through her right eyebrow and stopped it from growing, but other than that, she was fine.
However, as school came around, the happy little girl shrunk back into herself. Even as a little one, she would hide from the teachers and talk to no one, taking refuge beneath her coat in the cloak room. Her parents worried for a time, but she made it through primary with few other worries. High school was her next big challenge. The teen stayed in her shell, rarely popping out, only when she was in her element – on stage. She shone in drama, music and, occasionally, dances classes as well as the school performances each year. The teachers noticed how she shone on stage and became completely different. It was suggested as she reached options years, that she should take the subjects in theatre because she would simply fly through them. She listened and through the next few years, she was one of the best in the theatrical subjects as well as English Language and media, where she excelled. It was in her high school years, that her younger brother was born.
However, after high school was over, she was bored of school life. Donna lasted only a few months in college, before abandoning education in one area and moving to a professional Theatre school, a distance away from home. She toddled off the opposite side of Ireland, returning home every few months until she completed her courses. By the time she was twenty four, she’d been in several amateur productions around Ireland and even a few in London. But, out of all those she’d done, her favourite was “Cats” by far. As the years passed, she deliberately sought out the Lloyd-Webber production, constantly watching the recently released video as guidance and for fun. She played major roles such as Demeter, Bombalurina and even Jennyanydots in a few productions, but she favoured the character often depicted as an elder – Jellylorum – though often passed on Griddlebone, requesting someone else took her place.
Whilst settled in Dublin for a show, Donna grew immensely close to her co-star, one Harry Mitchell as she played Bombalurina alongside his Rum Tum Tugger. Their onstage flirting seems so real to the rest to the cast, as unbeknown to them, it was truly real. Donna, as the shows went on, believed it could have been love, but right from the start, Harry had only been in it for one thing. One drunken night, at the final party and the casts last time together, Donna and Harry had a thing in the costume store. Donna became pregnant but by the time she discovered it, Harry was long gone, as was her show. As she was carrying child, it was a little difficult to get work and few parts came her way. At one point, so angry with herself for getting into such a predicament, she considered abortion but the baby’s first kick was perfectly timed.
Donna move back down to Killarney to live alongside her parents, selling up her temporary flat in Dublin and swapping it for her old bedroom. Nine months passed and her daughter, named Aureole for her golden hair, became the best thing that could have happened to her. After the baby was a few months old, she went looking for work again and, once again, discovered a “Cats” performance close by, in need of a Jellylorum. She took her chance. As performance night came, Donna was spotted by a scout who happily offered her a contract to join the Euro Cats Tour, after their current Jellylorum contract expired or she dropped out. A few months passed and the tour called her. It was time for her to join them.
Although she didn’t want to, she left the baby with her parents, returning as often as she could (fortunately, the tour began not so far away from her home) and Donna joined the Euro Tour of “Cats”. She has remained in the same role since, but is not further away from home. She rings her daughter and family as often and possible, and visits them during breaks. She has been with the Tour for two years and turned thirty in the October of 2008.

RPG Sample:
Tip. Tap. Tip. She could not help but tap her pencil to the beat to the music, which spewed forth from the loudspeaker at the far side of the dressing room. For you see, Donna was bored. Her part was essentially over now, unless by some chance, the director has added in a walk on ghost part for, where she floated across the stage covered in flour. Though thingyens would certainly not approved of his best work being turned into a farce by amateurs. So she simply sighed, and began to doodle scenes on her note pad. It was nothing much, just the odd stick man or two, and some not quite hilarious jokes written in small bubbles.
As she drew, her left hand wandered up and down the long, crimson fabric of her dress, tenderly circling it between her thumb and forefinger. She did adore silk costumes, and the colour so much suited her character, Nancy. She pondered for a moment on how she’d been able to smooth over her soft Irish accent to replace it with a Londoner’s accents, before sighing and glancing at the door. Not seconds later, the kids burst into the change their costumes, ready for the finale bows. She began to doodle once more.
