History
Private Franklin Delano Donut is one of the Red Team's more recent members, feminine, loving, fun, yet questionable, and with some novice-level fighting ability. Prior to his deployment to Blood Gulch, Donut was stationed at an unknown outpost, where he broke the UNSC's strict policy against cheese and wine hours in the middle of field exercises. As a rookie, Donut's first mission was a fake errand to pick up headlight fluid and elbow grease at the store. Instead, Donut accidentally entered the Blue Base and took their flag, leading to a battle that caused Church's death. As a reward for capturing the flag, Donut was given a pink armor to replace his old red one, allowing him to experience his more feminine side in the misadventures that followed.
