Re: Donna Moss, 2/4. Maybe 3
History:
+ Born in Warroad, Minnesota. Or maybe Canada.
+ She was raised in Wisconsin.
+ She matriculated at the University of Wisconsin, where she majored in "Political Science and Government. And sociology and psychology. And biology, for a while, with a minor in french. And drama."
+ She dropped out of college to support her boyfriend, who was in med school. After breaking up with him, she came to work for the Bartlett for America campaign. (Well, not so much work for as sneak into Josh's office and pose as his assistant.)
+ She started out essentially paying to work for Josh, but true to her prediction, she proved valuable and was soon hired on full time. After they won, she kept her position in Josh's office when he became Deputy Chief of Staff
I’ll take Donna from the same point in S1 as Josh.
Personality:
Donna is a bright, dedicated woman. Despite not finishing college, she is very intelligent and dedicated to education. Much to Josh's dismay, she reads almost constantly on a wide variety of subjects (although she tends to remember only the most bizarre or obscure facts.). While she enjoys tormenting Josh, she takes her job very seriously and she's good at it. Among the many secretaries in the West Wing, she is one of the informal leaders, staying on top of everything from morale to information leaks. She's also one of the few people who will stand up to Josh and the rest of the Senior Staff when they're being bullies, and is never shy about speaking her mind. Donna has opinions, and she’s there to share them.
Which isn't to say that Donna is all work and more play. In fact, on the work to play ratio, the scales are heavily weighted toward silliness and frivolity. Despite being smart and dedicated, Donna can be a flake, especially on unimportant issues (little minutiae, like who's waiting to ambush Josh in his office, or whether visiting dignitaries speak English.) She also enjoys taunting her boss and is very, very good at it. She knows exactly how to get under Josh's skin and puts her talent to use at every opportunity. (She likes to look at it as keeping him humble.) She has an irreverent sense of humor that is almost always present, even when it's inappropriate.
While not verbally abusing Mr. Lyman, she enjoys gossiping with the other West Wing secretaries, dating republicans, and long walks on the beach.

Donna Moss, 3/3. See what I did thar?
Okay.
I’m can’t be 100% certain, and I know what they say about assumptions, but judging by the fact that the ducks on this website are yellow, rubber, and apparently quite dramatic, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this is not the Department of Agriculture report Josh was looking for.
This isn’t as bad as it looks. I’ve done some research, and I think I can safely say that this isn’t my fault. I can say that about a lot of things, but for once it’s even true. What I need is for you people to say that, especially to this man. (http://www.arrivistepress.com/images/Bradley_cmyk.jpg) Aim for a soothing, steady tone. I find it helps to practice. Try it. “This isn’t Donna’s fault.”
Oh. I’m Donna, by the way. Hi!
Third Person:
It didn’t snow often in DC. At least, not by Donna’s standards. DC had nothing on Wisconsin or Madison, even when the nor’easters blew in, drenching the city with sleet and hail and making the Georgetown streets around her apartment impossible.
When it rains, now, or snows, she doesn’t see a city going about its business, going through its day. A hazard of the job. She sees landslides in southern Asia, heavy snowfall destroying supply lines in eastern Europe. Even the most benign spring shower can become an international disaster, starting in her office.
Well. Maybe not her office, exactly, but the office she sits right outside. It’s enough to drive a girl crazy, if she’d let it. She tries not to, by stealing Josh’s chair, or feeding the squirrels that nest outside his office until they learn to mug his windows. She’s contemplating taking up skiing. Her cubical doesn’t have a window, so she doesn’t have to worry too much about the weather -- if it’s raining, she doesn’t think floods, and when the sun is shining she doesn’t worry about droughts.
But then the phone rings, and she answers it thinking about the 1.6 billion people throughout the world who don’t have electricity. Or she pulls a document down from the internet and remembers that 40% of Americans still don’t have access to broadband. And it could make her crazy.
So she prints the document Josh needs, and she leaves his messages on post-its around his monitor. Then she checks her clock and makes a bet against herself about how long it will take him to realize the Department of Canine and Equine Labor Forces isn’t a real department. And she waits for him to start shouting. She lives to work another day.
