STRENGTHS :

OVERALL PERSONALITY :
- rebellious - Donnie is stoically dedicated to doing what is right, and for the most part, since he works as an Auror, that does not conflict with his job. But if he disagrees with a decision that somebody in authority makes, he will not hesitate to completely disregard them and do his own thing.
- guarded - Basically, Donnie does not trust people. Period. He is suspicious of almost every single person in his life, and he believes that it's a good idea to be like that. It's simply safer when it comes to the ongoing battle with dark wizards, and it's emotionally safer.
- decisive - Donnie isn't one to necessarily think things over and use logic. He acts on instincts, and rarely hesitates when a decision needs to be made. Whether it is a right decision or a wrong decision will remain to be seen, but he will certainly jump-start the action right away.
- hard-working - His sister always says that Donnie works too hard, and it is undoubtedly true. Due to the fact that Donnie's job is his life, he doesn't have much of a social life, but he is quite valuable to the Ministry because he is dedicated and works extremely hard.
- pessimistic - Although he believes strongly in the cause of good, Donnie is a bit of a pessimistic at heart. He tends to look on the downside of things and always assume a situation will turn out in the worst possible way.
- humble - There is nothing Donnie hates more than arrogance. He absolutely despises anyone who thinks they're better than anybody else, as he is quite a humble person. He never brags.
- realistic - This trait ties along to pessimism for Donnie. He isn't a dreamer by any means, and it is very apparent in how he handles things.
- indifferent - Although he isn't a cold-hearted person, Donnie can come across that way when it comes to certain things, because it appears that what he cares most about is his job. He's not exactly an expert on relationships, and he has been accused by many women of being "a heartless, uncaring wretch."
- quiet - Donnie certainly isn't a loud-mouth. He absolutely abhors obnoxious, loud people, so he does his best to only speak when he actually has something worth contributing to the conversation.
- sarcastic - When you can get Donnie to talk, don't be surprised if you hear him make a smart-ass sarcastic remark. He has a rather dry sense of humor.
- alert - Mr. McCullen is constantly alert and always on the lookout for things out of the ordinary. This is in part owing to his training as an Auror, but it is also simply in his nature.
- reckless - Donnie doesn't always think before he acts. Okay, he rarely thinks before he acts. And sometimes he does things that may be considered dangerous or reckless or stupid, but hey... what has to be done, has to be done.

OVERALL HISTORY :
[/size]Despite the fact that he now resides in London, Donnie is an Irish boy, through and through. He was born and raised in the charming and culture-packed city of Galway, by his magical mother and his Muggle father. How did the lovely Millicent O'Donnell happen to fall in love with a Muggle, you might ask? Well, why does anyone fall in love with anyone? They met at a park in Dublin, where they were both living at the time, when Millicent was walking her dog and he got out of control upon spotting a squirrel. Naturally, the passing Anthony McCullen was a gentleman and retrieved the woman's rather large dog. When he returned it to her, she insisted she take him out to coffee to thank him, and well... things sort of took off from there. It was sickeningly similar to a romantic comedy.
Obviously there was a slight issue at hand; Millicent was a witch. Anthony was a Muggle and knew nothing of the wizarding world. The night Millie told him was an interesting night indeed, and it was indeed dangerous, because she knew that if he completely freaked out, the Ministry would be on their case. But he took it surprisingly well, and remained calm about the entire situation, agreeing to all the rules and to never tell anyone that his wife was a witch. Undoubtedly, things would not have gone over so well was he not head over heels in love with her.
They waited a couple of years to get married, since they were both hardly twenty years old, despite the fact that they knew they were perfect for each other after perhaps two months. Finally, Anthony and Millie were married in a small but lovely ceremony in the countryside outside of Dublin. They then decided to move to Galway, a city they both adored, to start their family. Their start came a tad bit earlier than expected when they realized their first child had been conceived the very night of their wedding. Donnie Isaak McCullen was born on a particularly blizzardy night in late December. He was their holiday baby, born just a few days after Christmas.
Both of his parents were very anxious to find out whether their son had any magical powers. At first, they were quite positive that he was simply a Muggle, but finally at age nine he began to display signs of magic, markedly when he rescued his little sister from drowning by somehow parting the water of a creek where she was stuck underwater, hooked on a log. Donnie was close to his little sister from the moment she was born a few months after his fourth birthday. Despite his young age, he adored Regina from the start and vowed to take care of her for her entire life. In some situations in recent years he has been admittedly a bit over-protective, but hey, what are big brothers for?
In Hogwarts, Donnie was sort into Gryffindor, which only slightly surprised his parents. His mother had been in Ravenclaw and had half-expected and hoped for him to be in that house, but although he was smart, Donnie was never the intellectual type. It was his clever and book-ish sister who followed four years later that was sorted into Ravenclaw. Despite their age difference, the two often spent time together while at school. They always had an abnormally friendly relationship for siblings. Regina, of course, always got the most outstanding grades with what seemed to be very little effort, while Donnie was more of a slacker and didn't achieve the record-breaking marks in school that his little sister did. Still, he did fairly well and graduated with several NEWTs.
For about a year after he graduated from Hogwarts, Donnie didn't really do anything. He actually didn't have any idea what he wanted to do with his life, so he spent about twelve months in Scotland, backpacking around the rugged mountains and "finding himself." Well, he didn't really find himself. To this day, Donnie is a rather confused young lad. Yes, he has figured out that he wants to be an Auror, and over the last seven years he has gotten quite good at it. But Donnie still really has no idea what kind of person he is... and it bothers him. Sometimes he feels like he's a terrible excuse for a human being and that he should probably just be a Death Eater. Well, he doesn't really want to be a Death Eater. But sometimes he feels like it.
Obviously since he's working at the Ministry, Donnie is living in London, England now. He absolutely despises paperwork, and so hates those days when he has to sit in a desk at the Ministry and fill out forms and reports and such. He is much happier when he's out on the job, on a mission to hunt down dark wizards. The danger of it gives him a wonderful rush. (Typical man, eh?) Due to his solitary nature and the intensity of his job, Donnie has very few personal ties. Obviously he is close to his sister, who also lives in London, but apart from that he tends to refrain from close personal contact, which does not exactly lend him a healthy lifestyle.
