History

The FE wiki is a good resource for understanding her past; here's a link to Dorothea's wiki page, until I have the time to write out a more detailed summary myself. I am familiar with and can play her from any of the arcs in the original game or Three Hopes.

Personality

From the FE wiki:

A natural performer, Dorothea enjoys all forms of performing arts from acting to music, but has a particular affinity for singing as she was once a songstress. She is flirtatious, and has a habit of flirting with people out of belief that she needs to find someone to provide her a comfortable life, before her beauty and voice fade away and cause others to lose interest in her. She thinks this way because she is terrified at the prospect of returning to live in the streets.

Despite being the only person of common heritage among the Black Eagles, she tries to meet everyone as equals. However, she holds resentment towards those of nobility because of the classist treatment she received from nobles during her childhood and throughout, on occasion remarking how they only seemed to care about her after she became famous. Objectification on stage by the rich, added with her poor childhood, resulted in her developing self-esteem issues on par with her outgoing personality. Nonetheless, she is readily confident in her ability to strike back against men who make attempts on her life and her friends, as stated in a support with Bernadetta. All but similarly to Mercedes, she openly and immediately expresses her dislike of Lorenz in their very first support conversation due to his elitist views. While she never ascribes such attitudes to all nobility, she finds it difficult not to, leading to cases of suspicion and judgment even if said noble does not deserve such treatment, as seen in her supports with Ferdinand.

Manuela is her idol, as she was Dorothea's senior in the Mittelfrank Opera Company, and seeing her again is part of the reason she enrolls in the Officer's Academy to begin with. She often refers to her fellow classmates with diminutive versions of their names (i.e. Edie, Ferdie, Hubie, Yurikins, etc.) and will occasionally embarrass her friends to tease them. She likes dressing glamorously, outfitting herself with accessories and decorative ornaments. She also adores small animals. She dislikes arrogant nobles. According to Petra, Dorothea's classmates find her cooking to be "horrendous," although she has neither a weakness nor strength in cooking. If Byleth has Dorothea help in food preparation, she says that she thinks "it's all the same once it's in your stomach".

☆ Shipping: Open to both m/f or f/f. Particularly interested in shipping her with Ferdinand, Hubert, Felix, Edelgard, Caspar, and Yuri.

☆ Characters I'd like to play against: I'd love to do anything with castmates (be they Black Eagles or otherwise). Also open to cross-canon, however.

☆ Situations I'd be interested in playing: In general, I'm always a fan of hurt/comfort memes, soulmates & other AUs, texting memes (including tfln), as well as gen memes.

☆ Smut: Generally, prefer assumed CR, but let's discuss before taking the thread in that direction. No nonconsensual situations.

Permissions

☆ Backtagging: Yes, more than welcome! I have a pretty busy schedule myself, so I can tend to take a while - so I'd never penalize anyone else for doing the same.
