He's softshell DNA also allows him to swim more efficiently and breathe underwater. Donnie develops the ability to use the Godai element of water, often associated with thought, defensiveness, adaptability, flexibility, suppleness, and magnetism.

History
Leo grew close to Donnie when they were young as they were both the quieter ones, while Raph and Mikey would often wrestle for fun. Donnie found Leo much easier to be around than his louder brothers, and Leo wasn't as overwhelming when they played. When Donnie was 7 and Leo was 8, they were training with wooden weapons when Leo's sword struck Donnie's shell and he bled. This began Leo's fear of hurting his siblings and his interest in learning first aid. As they got older, Donnie went to Leo often to talk about safety measures around the house, about the mutants in the area, and about strategies. Donnie trusts in Leo as his older brother, and Leo relies often on Donnie's intellect.
Relationship Reasoning
Donnie and Leo are very close and enjoy talking to each other about things like history, strategy, their own biology, ideas for home defense and managing the mutants inside the fence. Leo likes to settle down next to Donnie and listen to him infodump about anything and everything Donnie will talk about.
History
Mikey and Donatello grew up together and formed a bond being the two youngest siblings who had to work harder to catch up with their older brothers. Calling themselves Team B, the made a little brother pact that they wouldn't see each other as rivals like Leo and Raph did. Donatello gave Mikey a space in his work shop for his painting and often would let him paint or come up with cosmetic designs for his inventions.
Relationship Reasoning
Despite being complete opposites, Don and Mikey are quite close with each other, both sharing the burden of the younger brothers that have to compete with Leo and Raph. They don't see eye to eye on many issues but avoid having blow up fights with each other neurodivergent solidarity. If they do fight it's usually in a mildly teasing manner, and they know better than to call out each others weakness.
Their differences make them a stronger team cause where one lacks, the other makes up for.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
Mikey and Donnie have very little in common, but they do enjoy making things together, and if they need to relax, Donnie is usually the one to join him in a video game.
History
Raph and Donnie grew up together. They bonded over being the middle children, while Leo got attention for being the perfect eldest child, and Mikey was the cute youngest, Don and Raph stayed in the background with each other. Raph never really understood Donnie's nerdier interests, but was always impressed by how smart he was, and Donnie was always the one to help him understand things when he was struggling with their homeschooling. Donnie eventually got Raph interested in reading by showing him some of the fiction books he liked.
Relationship Reasoning
Donnie is probably the brother he get's along with the most, in the sense that he rarely has an issue with him. This is likely cause both of them tend to keep to themselves, not sharing a lot in common. Raph will often tease Donnie for being a nerd, but its also the one who gets the most excited about his inventions, being more impressed by his brains than he'd admit out loud.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
They don't have a lot in common on the surface. Donnie is someone Raph will hang out with when he needs someone to just vibe and chill out with. He makes a decent reading buddy, even if Donnie is reading about quantum mechanics while Raph is reading about an elven war with orcs.
History
Casey's first introduction to Donnie was getting caught in one of his traps while she was sneaking through the forest. He was quick to get her down and explain everything, but she still was irritated at him for putting her in such an embarrassing situation. She would quickly get over it when she learned more about the turtles, as well as the situation they were dealing with earlier that morning. When she found out their belongings were being stolen by Stockgen, she immediately agreed to help them get their stuff back. After helping them all break into Stockgen and defending them from Purple Dragons, Casey quickly befriended all the turtles.
Relationship Reasoning
Casey and Donnie talk whenever she visits, but they have the least amount in common. Donnie often wants to talk about his inventions and science stuff that goes right over Casey's head, and she'll usually retort by calling him a nerd. However once they are working on cars, it become a different story. Working on Casey's van is the one time they can really bond, as they both have extensive knowledge about cars and how they work. The two genuinely have a lot of fun working on vehicles together.
History
Donnie met April when he and his brothers fought off a mutant that was attacking her. They were all suspicous of her at first as they had never met a human before and Splinter has always warned them about how dangerous the were, but April was friendly and kind, and even offered them candy as a peace offering. Donnie was rather intrigued to meet a human and ask her all sorts of questions about the city and human life. April would end up showing him her computer and teaching him some of the coding stuff she knew. After they became friends, April would give the boys their first phones to keep in touch, as well as help Donnie dig up an old laptop for him to fix up and use.
Relationship Reasoning
April and Donnie talk a lot and have a lot in common. They are both very smart kids, and Don can appreciate being able to talk to someone that can keep up with his mind. They both have a lot the are able to teach each other and can talk for hours about nerdy stuff like tech and coding. April is Donnie's go to if he ever needs a back up to run tech stuff while he's in the middle to the fighting, which is saying something cause he doesn't ever trust anyone else to touch his stuff.
History
Leatherhead didn't start off on a good foot with the Turtles. He was always enraged when he first emerged from the water on a beach they were hanging out on, and as soon as they drew their weapons in defense, he attacked them. It was only after Mikey had managed to calm him down that he was able to explain himself. Donatello was the most excited to meet another mutant like them. Sure they had Splinter, but Leatherhead was once an animal like they were. They immediately hit it off when they began talking about computers, and once everything and settled down, Donatello was the first to help him set up a place to stay on the beach. Donnie and Leatherhead would go searching for computer parts to help Leatherhead set up in an old beach house, all the while sharing their theories about mutagen and mutant biology. They would also fix up the boats outside together.
Nicknames & Petnames
Pepino - to Donnie.
Relationship Reasoning
Donatello looks up to Leatherhead almost like an uncle figure. It's not often he can talk to a fellow mutant of the same caliber of intelligence as him, so it gives him someone other than his immediate family he can talk to and relate to. Leatherhead is also more mature than say, April, so he acts as another adult he can go to for advice. Leatherhead is more then happy to hang out with Donatello, and finds him to be a good kid with the potential to do great things in the world. Story Spoilers
