Donatello is a mentioned character in Genshin Impact. He is Chevreuse's father.

Profile

Donatello was a member of the Maison Gardiennage, as a Garde. He was frequently busy in his work, often coming home late at times to his family with sweets for Chevreuse and woke up early in the morning for his shifts. Donatello's work ethic was noted by everyone, and he was well-known and praised by his wife, neighbors and colleagues, such as Vice Captain Grizzetti of the Special Patrol.

Eventually, during an important case, Donatello leaked sensitive information to the press to investigate a criminal, resulting his colleagues arriving at his home to gather evidence for the upcoming trial. When a young Chevreuse asked them what was going on, they hesitated to answer her, choking back on tears before telling her that he was an upstanding officer of the law, causing her to realize that he was an upstanding sinner. This resulted in Chevreuse and her mother being forced to move to Fleuve Cendre, though Donatello's colleagues would continue to visit his family, bringing gifts and news of his trial. While he was clearly guilty of his crime, they worked with the Maison Gestion to ensure that he would not suffer further castigation, and after the trial was over, was sent to the Fortress of Meropide to serve out his sentence.^[2]

After his sentence was over, Donatello began serving in the Special Patrol. To help Chevreuse follow in his footsteps as an enforcer of the law, he subjected her to rigorous training meant to frustrate and vex her, including swimming in ice-cold water. He also taught her about the basic concepts of justice and how one should enact it. Members of the Gardes and Special Patrol also provided assistance to help train her for the tasks that would be expected. Donatello was worried about having her follow in his footsteps, but after she completed his training, deemed her to be even more suited than him in upholding "justice." In time, Chevreuse joined the Special Patrol, and when she eventually applied to be Captain, he helped proofread her statement that she would give to the Captain she would be replacing.^[3]

Growing up in Fleuve Cendre, I saw first-hand how many corners of Fontaine remain shrouded in shadow. Though my upbringing didn't garner me many friends, the knowledge I acquired was far more precious. Those who enforce the law must have their own conception of justice, one that they use to govern their actions. That is what my father taught me. And it has proved itself to be true many times over.
