The following is a personality profile of Donna Leon based on her work.
Donna Leon is social, confident and informal.
She is confident, she is hard to embarrass and is self-confident most of the time. She is assertive as well: she tends to speak up and take charge of situations, and she is comfortable leading groups. But, Donna Leon is also empathetic: she feels what others feel and is compassionate towards them.
More than most people, his choices are driven by a desire for belongingness.
She is also relatively unconcerned with tradition: she cares more about making her own path than following what others have done. Considers helping others to guide a large part of what she does: she thinks it is important to take care of the people around her.
