Personality:
A good way to describe Donald first and foremost would be the word 'colorful'. He is by far the most aggressive member out of Sora, Donald and Goofy, which is only enhanced by his tenancy to want things done as fast as possible. Donald does not like to wait around for something; most of the time he will go out and try to do it without completely thinking it over, all too often causing more problems in the long run. He also has a tendency to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, and get hit / burned / smashed by karmic retribution in the face of his absolute confidence.
Such is the fate of the comedic part of the trio.
It doesn't stop there either, as Donald is quite easy to rile up and anger - in the earlier days with Sora the two would bicker quite often, and he doesn't mind insulting those he doesn't quite agree with when he thinks he can get away with it. When Donald gets too angry, he will sway back and forth and his words, already a bit hard to understand, become near impossible to distinguish. When he has a set goal in mind, he will sometimes even enhance promises with white lies to get to the end result (for example, when Sora wanted to find Riku and Kairi when they first met, Donald said they would, but whispered to Goofy he wasn't sure but it was the only sure way to get him to come with them) he desires. This also includes shiny things - possibly stemming from his uncle Scrooge, Donald does have a soft side for priceless items. Thankfully, he can be easily brought back to reality.
Of course this is all on the surface, and despite all his giant, enormous faults, Donald is incredibly loyal at heart and doesn't like it when his friends get sad and in danger. He might grumble about it, but he will even defy the King's orders to save the lives of many more, and sacrifice his own life doing so. Oh sure, he'll be shaking and trembling, but he'll stand his ground, okay?! Donald expresses himself a lot with hand movements and actions that speak louder than his words - he'll hit someone after they do something stupid because he was worried about them instead of giving them hugs, for example.
Thankfully he packs quite the punch in terms of firepower - as the Court's Royal Wizard he is no slouch and because of his dedication at the hands of Merlin, Donald has learned a slew of spells that makes him an efficient fighter in his own right. Heck, he'll whack enemies with his sticks when his mana runs out. His dedication to King Mickey is long lasting and stems from a friendship that has spanned most of his youth and adulthood. Yet despite all of his short-temper and willingness to stand up to even the biggest foes, he can be tamed and reduced to nothing by one person apart from the king, and that is Lady Daisy, who can send the duck packing in fear if she gets even the least bit angry with him.
While sometimes vain, the good side of the coin is that Donald is incredibly proud. It's a self-confidence that is hard to match, for better or worse, and it makes him a good force to be next with if you want someone to cheer you on while you do a task. He wants SMILES okay. He'll back you up once you earn your friendship too, but boy howdy, does Donald make you EARN that friendship. Goofy is his closest friend along with Micky, and both compliment each other in their faults and differences. Sora might be new, but there is no doubt that Donald would stand behind him - something that was already tested before when he ended up rejecting following Riku and returned to his friend instead (it did take him a while for him to make his choice tho, it is so very Donald, after all).
Abilities:
Being trained by Merlin and as the Royal Wizard, Donald has a slew of spells at his disposal using the elemental arts as well as the ability to transform himself (along with Sora and Goofy) into something more local for certain words to blend in with the inhabitants better.
I will list all the spells from KH1, with the knowledge that Donald probably knows other magic, but it simply wasn't used in the game per-say. TLDR: He's a pretty powerful wizard.
Firaga: Fire spell
Blizzaga: Blizzard Spell
Thundaga: Thunder Spell
Aero: Wind Spell
Gravity: Forms a miniature event-horizon that crushes their target, reducing their HP by a set fraction and rendering them temporarily defenseless to further attacks.
Stopga: Halt enemy movement for a very long period of time.
Cure: Cure spell / Healing.
Berserk: Boosts attack power when HP is critical.
MP Haste: Increases rate of MP restoration.
MP Rage: Restores MP when attacked.
Second Chance: Ensures 1 HP is retained after being hit with a critical attack.
Treasure Magnet: Attracts HP/MP and Munny balls.
Second Wind: Recovers from KO quickly.
Jackpot: Receive more HP/MP and Munny balls from enemies
Lucky Strike: Increases the chance of an enemy dropping a rare item.
Cheer: Increases Summon's MP gauge.
High Jump: Allows Sora, Donald and Goofy to jump to a higher extent.
Mermaid Kick: Allows Sora, Donald and Goofy to swim at incredible speeds and withstand water pressure.
Glide: Allows Sora, Donald and Goofy to float through the air.
Superglide: Allows Sora, Donald and Goofy to float through the air at an extended speed.
He might seem pretty powerful, but Donald also suffers heavily from comedic timing, meaning just when it's relaly needed, his magic will run out, something will fall on him, terrible things will happen, etc.
Sample Entry:
You would think that a duck this size, while anthropomorphic, wouldn't be able move with such speed, but when Donald bravely...ran away from something, he tended to magically find just that little power boost that he so desperately needed.
"Aaaaa! Get lost you dumb heartless!" he cried out, moving his wand to send down a bolt of thunder at the nearest foe. This battle wasn't something he couldn't handle (really!) but the sheer amount of them was starting to overtake him. And without his two friends to back him up, even a powerful magician could only take so much. Hence, the running. "I'm warning you!" Too late, another heartless attacked him from behind and he quickly retaliated with a not-girlish scream and a fireball right into the middle of it, sending it slamming into the wall.
Deep breaths Donald. Deep breaths.
"Oh, phooey! I'm so tired of all of you! That's it! Now I'm really angry! Come get me!" A brave stand, as the music swelled and...then as the first wave did, "No! No wait I changed my mind!" But just in time, he realized his mana power had been fully restored and with a tiny glee in his eye, twirled his wand in the air and unleashed a gravity spell on them before finishing it off with a blizzard.
A few seconds later, he was busy dusting his hands off as a head from one of the monster handed close by. He kicked it off, laughing...right before slipping on the ice left over from the spell.
"Stupid little..." He stopped ranting to look onward at the dark corridor awaiting him.
"Sora...Goofy...King Mickey...Where are you?"
