Donna Raines
Played by Elizabeth Saunders
Leader of the Colony House residents living apart from the township.
Colony House is not a vibe shift from the township. It is a different survival contract. Donna enforces routines because she has seen what happens when people treat night like a suggestion.
Discipline as love language
She can read harsh because the show frames her responsibility as collective safety. Her leadership bumps against Boyd township authority, Ellis choices, and newcomers who think rules are optional.
