Dorothy / New Assistant / Arknights

Name: Dorothy

Race: Zalak

Age: Mid 20s

Affilition: Rhine Lab Collaborating Operator

Date of Birth: May 8th

Place of Birth: columbia

Combat Experience: None

Height: 170 Cm

Hair: long, messy, sandy-blonde/golden hair. It features long, face-framing bangs and asymmetric side-tails tied loosely with dark ribbons.

Eyes: soft, warm amber or golden-brown eyes

Features: pair of massive, sandy-blonde ears that look remarkably like a jerboa’s (desert rodent). long, thin, mouse-like tail that ends in a dark, bushy tuft of fur.

Personality: extreme, almost dangerous level of pure altruism paired with scientific naivety. She genuinely desires a world completely free of pain, sadness, and inequality, but her obsessive pursuit of this utopia causes her to overlook the real-world harm and ethical violations of her research. She is incredibly gentle, warm, and motherly to those around her

-Extreme Idealism and Empathy: Dorothy possesses a boundless love for humanity, driven largely by childhood trauma after losing her mother to a Catastrophe. Unlike typical "mad scientists" who act out of malice or raw ambition, Dorothy is intensely empathetic. She actively seeks out marginalized communities—specifically the Infected and pioneers on Columbia's frontiers—with the singular goal of saving them from suffering. She is incredibly gentle, warm, and motherly to those around her.

-Naivety and Rationalization: Her greatest personality flaw is her pathological capacity for self-delusion in the name of the "greater good". During her experiments, she constructs a massive hive-mind transmitter that effectively strips test subjects of their individual consciousness and agency. Because the participants chose to enter the shared dream willingly to escape their painful reality, Dorothy convinces herself that her work is entirely ethical, willfully blinding herself to how easily her technology could be weaponized by the Columbian military.

-Gentle Stubbornness: Dorothy is not easily swayed once she believes she is doing the right thing. She is fiercely brave and forward-facing, moving ahead with her projects despite the warnings of peers like Saria. Her stubbornness doesn't manifest as aggression; instead, she "kills with kindness," softly dismissing criticisms because she firmly believes her ultimate goal justifies her highly questionable methods.

-Scattered and Absentminded: Outside of her heavy lore implications, her daily life reveals a classic "absentminded professor" archetype. She gets so absorbed in her research that she constantly sleeps at her desk, forgets to dress properly, and loses her lab coat so often that she resorts to tying it to her body. She relies heavily on colleagues like Astgenne to manage her basic personal affairs and keep her grounded in reality.

Likes: -The Pioneers and The Infected: Dorothy has an immense soft spot for the marginalized people living on Columbia’s harsh frontiers. She loves listening to their stories, cooking for them, and acts like a protective, motherly figure to anyone she feels has been dealt a bad hand by fate. -Creating a "Utopia": At her core, she loves the concept of a flawless society. She is deeply enamored with any research, technology, or Originium Art that can eliminate physical pain, emotional trauma, or social inequality. -Gifting People Things: She is incredibly generous. Because she loses track of time in her lab, she admits that she forgets what day it is, but compensates by preparing an entire year's worth of presents ahead of time for the Doctor and her colleagues. -Intense Scientific Focus: She genuinely loves her research. She enjoys diving headfirst into complex scientific puzzles, completely losing herself in her work for days on end without any regard for food or sleep. -Her Colleagues: Despite their clashing ideals, she deeply respects and cares for the Rhine Lab staff, holding high admiration for figures like Kristen Wright and maintaining an affectionate, protective stance toward Ferdinand and Astgenne.

Dislikes: -Suffering and Inequality: Her primary driving force is her hatred of pain. She cannot stand to see people suffering from Oripathy, grief, poverty, or the cruelty of the world, which is why she goes to such extreme lengths to try and "cure" sadness. -Strict Rules and Red Tape: She thoroughly dislikes administrative restrictions and corporate protocols. When Saria or other officials try to slow down her research with ethical warnings or safety regulations, Dorothy quietly ignores or bypasses them, viewing them as obstacles to saving lives. -Being Alone or Hated: Deep down, Dorothy has a profound fear of abandonment and rejection. Her reveal that she is secretly terrified that her radical scientific methods will cause people to ultimately leave her or hate her, leaving her isolated in the dark. -Taking Care of Everyday Errands: She despises (and utterly fails at) mundane, daily responsibilities. Organizing her lab, keeping track of her own clothing, remembering to eat, and handling paperwork are things she actively avoids, preferring to leave them entirely to her stressed-out assistant.

Outfit: wears the signature white and gray Rhine Lab uniform coat, but she wears it completely slipped off her shoulders, hanging loosely around her arms. Underneath her coat, she wears a tight dark brown and white top, exceptionally short shorts, and an asymmetric thigh strap/garter setup on her left leg. She sports chunky, high-top white and gray tactical boots with yellow/orange accents

Weapons: Autonomous Resonators (The Traps): Her primary weapons are specialized, deployable micro-devices called Resonators. She seeds the battlefield with these devices, which act as high-frequency landmines. When an enemy triggers one, it releases a controlled, localized burst of her resonance Arts to deliver devastating effects. Semi-Automatic Handgun: For direct engagements, she wields a clean, white-and-gray sci-fi pistol. This weapon acts as a specialized caster catalyst (an Arts Unit), allowing her to channel her molecular vibration Arts into fast, precise kinetic bullets.

Arts: Sand Manipulation: She disperses fine sand or dust into the air or across a target area, using her resonance Arts to manipulate it.

Background: She grew up poor on the frontier, where her mother died in a disaster. This trauma drove her to become a top director at Rhine Lab so she could build a machine to link minds together into a dream without suffering. After her project was stopped because it was too dangerous, she joined Rhodes Island to keep researching safely.
