Full of energy, stubborn, she is the matriarch of her Family and capable of doing anything for her children. Deep inside she is terrible. She has different relationships with her four children, she even appears to like the adoptive children more than her legitimate ones. Her favorite is obviously Otávio, who she wishes to see as heir of Michele`s business. That`s why Marco Antônio becomes a problem to her when he comes back. Donana is capable of everything to accomplish her goals.
