Donna Clark is Gordon's wife and ex-engineering partner. Donna grew up in a new-money family in Dallas and her parents are entrepreneurs who founded a high-end gadget company called Razor’s Edge. An accomplished musician, Donna found her calling in computers while attending the University of California, Berkeley, with her husband Gordon, where she went into to engineering.
She is resigned to her husband's mental absence since their failed Symphonic project, but she is also scared that the new Cardiff Electric PC project will result in the end of her marriage. Despite this, she tries to support Gordon, in the hope that this will be the thing that brings him back to life.

Season 2
The season revolves around Donna's work at Mutiny, the company founded by Cameron Howe at the end of the first season. Ostensibly, Mutiny has no bosses, but it is clear Cameron and Donna call the shots, with Donna taking a sensible, businesslike and (often to her annoyance) an almost maternal role toward Cameron and the other programmers.
The Mutiny headquarters -- a yellow farmhouse -- is filthy and completely unsuited to the amount of electricity the Mutiny severs require. Donna attempts to secure financial backing for the company, but the potential investors are wary, pointing out that Donna and Cameron have failed to (and probably can't) document just how many people are using Mutiny services. Gordon unsuccessfully tries to develop a program that will track all users, infecting Mutiny and its customers in the process.
Donna is inspired when she finds out that Mutiny users are paying $5 an hour to stay on the Mutiny servers and talk with each other after finishing playing games; she adds "Community" to the Mutiny offerings, pioneering online chat rooms.
Behind her back, Gordon continues his vain attempts to help her; he strikes a bargain with Joe MacMillan to pay to use the hardware of a local oil company belonging to the father of Joe's fiancée Sarah. Gordon at first hides the deal's connection to Joe. When Donna finds out, she is forced to break the news to Cameron that Mutiny is now in business with Cameron's ex, further straining the women's personal and business relationship. Cameron accidentally complains about Gordon to another Mutiny worker via Community, accidentally sharing the private Internet chat with every Mutiny computer; Donna confronts Cameron, telling her that she has undermined Donna's position of authority at the company by criticizing her family behind her back.
Donna believes she is coming down with a flu caught from one of her daughters, but then discovers she is pregnant. She at first chooses not to share the news with Gordon.
