Mad Donna Ulanti, also known as Donna of House Ulanti, is one of the most notorious and infamous characters in the underhive of Necromunda. Born into the nobility of the Ulanti family, she comes from the spire’s opulence and privilege, a stark contrast to the brutal underhive where she made her name. Her descent into infamy began with a fiery rebellion against her aristocratic roots, casting aside the comforts of noble life to embrace the chaos and violence of the underhive. Known for her flamboyant personality and erratic behavior, Donna quickly established a fearsome reputation, earning the moniker “Mad” for her unpredictable and ruthless approach to life. Her past, shrouded in mystery and scandal, makes her a figure of dark fascination among the gangers of Necromunda, many of whom view her with equal parts awe and terror.
Donna’s appearance is as bold and eccentric as her personality; she is rarely seen without her signature wild hairstyle, punk-inspired armor, and her eyepatch, which conceals a replaced eye from an encounter she barely survived. Her weaponry, including her favored chainsword and custom pistols, is as lethal as it is ostentatious, reflecting her tendency to combine style with savagery. Known for her brutal fighting techniques and merciless combat style, Donna doesn’t shy away from violence, often charging into fights with an unmatched fury. Her unpredictability makes her a wild card on the battlefield, able to switch from vicious close-combat attacks to deadly accurate pistol fire in the blink of an eye. This combination of aristocratic heritage, lethal prowess, and unrestrained savagery has earned her both devoted followers and deadly enemies among the underhive’s various factions.
Though a lone wolf at heart, Mad Donna Ulanti has a complex network of allies, adversaries, and unfortunate souls caught in her path. She has clashed with some of the most feared gangs in Necromunda, and her volatile nature makes her a challenging adversary, with no allegiance to any single group or house. Her motivations remain ambiguous; some say she is driven by a thirst for vengeance against her family, while others believe her goal is simply to sow chaos wherever she goes. In the lawless depths of Necromunda, Donna embodies the rebellion, freedom, and brutality of life in the underhive, standing as a legend among its twisted steel corridors and darkened alleyways, feared and revered in equal measure.
