Appearance and Character
A stocky youth in his early twenties, Ser Donnel has a wide nose and a shock of thick brown hair. Lady Catelyn Stark describes him as earnest and homely.[1]
Like most Waynwoods, Donnel was always one for ceremony and tradition. He speaks with the solemn courtesy of a youth.[1]
Recent Events

After the death of Lord Jon Arryn, the mountain clans of the Vale grew bolder. Ser Donnel desires to lead a hundred men to root out the mountain clans, but Lady Lysa Arryn forbids it, wanting to keep the swords of the Vale close to home.[1]
Ser Donnel leads the sortie from the Bloody Gate that saves Lady Catelyn Stark's party from the clans in the Mountains of the Moon. After escorting her party to the Bloody Gate, Donnel allows the wounded to recuperate within the battlements. He also sends ravens to the Eyrie and Gates of the Moon, informing Lady Arryn of her sister's arrival.[1]
Lady Anya Waynwood is present in the High Hall of the Eyrie, surrounded by her sons, when Tyrion Lannister demands a trial by battle to prove his innocence of the claims against him.[5]

Quotes by Donnel
The clans have grown bolder since Lord Jon died. If it were up to me, I would take a hundred men into the mountains, root them out of their fastnesses, and teach them some sharp lessons, but your sister has forbidden it.[1]
—Donnel to Catelyn Stark
