"Sometimes. I like to think that I would have grown up with my parents. I wonder what they were like. I think about it more since I've arrived here though."
Anila pulls out more snacks from her pockets and quietly eats as she contemplates.
"But I've also considered what it would have been like if I was born a slime so..." She pauses. "Jedi training could be very boring at times."
She chews a minute and then asks, "If there were 5 characteristics that were essential to establish another person as Donatello, no matter what universe they came from, what would they be?"
"Oh..." That explains a lot that he hadn't really figured, while simultaneously bringing up so many questions. But Anila doesn't seem really torn up about it. It sounds like she'd never really gotten to know her parents to begin with, though.
Donnie's expression falters with the follow-up. Why though? "Surely it has to be more interesting than being a slime."
Ah, but that's an interesting question put forth. He strokes his chin.
"That...is an excellent question. And since I haven't met any other Donatellos to get a baseline, best I can do is from what I've observed of my brothers' counterparts. I believe the purple color-coding would be fundamental, and perhaps use of a bō or similar. Ah, but I believe the other Michelangelo did mention that his Donnie was a science-oriented, tech person, so perhaps those too."
