[Profile] Dulcinea is a Second Kindred Bloodfiend and the overseer of Area 3 of La Manchaland.

[Appearance] Dulcinea is a thin, hourglass-shaped pale woman whose platinum-blonde hair is perfectly straight and long enough to drag along the floor, with several strands falling over her forehead. Her face is hidden behind a butterfly-shaped mask with white and purple detailing, and her left eye can be seen glowing red through one of the openings. She wears a black-and-purple frilled bonnet that sits securely over her hair. Her outfit consists of a dark purple ballroom gown made of multiple layered skirts, transitioning into lighter lilac and white sections toward the center. The layers are decorated with lilac floral embroidery, and a large purple bow is tied at her waist. Over her torso, she wears a black-and-white corset with a deep neckline, paired with dark purple shoulderpads and detached sleeves that flare slightly at the wrists. Her nails are painted purple, and several long ribbons hang from her waist and sleeves. She carries a large, frilly parasol colored in matching purples, with lace along the edges and a detailed handle. The parasol serves both as an accessory and as her primary weapon in combat.

[Personality] Dulcinea is a bitter and nihilistic woman, clearly discontented with her role as the "Princess of Parade". Despite her role as a La Manchaland Overseer and high status as a Second Kindred, Dulcinea sees herself as powerless, viewing herself as just another attraction of the Parade, doomed to go around in cycles for the rest of her existence. She talks poorly of all people, including herself, but holds particular bitterness towards Sancho, envying her ignorance of her role and life outside of the park. Sancho, like herself, is a Second Kindred, and yet their Father and First Kindred, Don Quixote' treatment of them could not be further apart. Despite never having any Kindreds of her own, Sancho is treated like a real daughter, flesh and blood, allowed the freedom to follow their Father on his adventures. Meanwhile, Dulcinea is made to watch and tend to his estate, relegated to her role of 'Princess' like an ornament. To the end, even when he decides to doom all his children to an eternity of starvation, he decides to save Sancho, in particular... causing Dulcinea no end of distress.

[Relationship(s)] -Don Quixote: The First Kindred, and Father to all Manchegan Bloodfiends. Despite his light-hearted disposition, Dulcinea had always been viewed by her Father with an air of detachment. He had assigned her a role and she fulfilled it with utmost duteous... and yet never once did Father look back on her efforts with anything but an easy-going smile. While never dismissive, Father was never truly 'interested' in any of his Children, all save for one. -Sancho: The Second Kindred, and favorite Child of Father. Always poised beside father, trailing his every step like a shadow. From the moment they met, Sancho and Dulcinea could never truly quite see eye-to-eye. Dulcinea has always hated Sancho’s oblivious nature and freedom. Much like Father, Sancho never gave the time of day to any of her Kin, and yet that callousness was rewarded with praise and affection from Father. -Nicolina: The Third Kindred, Barber of La Manchaland and a Child Dulcinea had sired herself. This Child loved to cut an sew, to make others happy with her clothing, provocative as they were. Many things within La Manchaland were by her design, with Dulcinea's approval. Much like a Child, Nicolina often comes to Dulcinea for comfort, resting her head on her lap as she vents about her day... about how Sancho refuses to try on a single one of her outfits, and so on. -Curiambro: The Third Kindred, Priest of La Manchaland and a Child Dulcinea had sired herself. This Child is quiet and forthright, following Father's orders without fault. He works diligently as a man of the cloth, allowing other Kindreds to confide in him their desires, their lust for blood, and help guide them through the hunger pains. He is hard on himself, Dulcinea often has to stop the Child and taking a whip to his own back to calm his own hunger pains. -Cassetti: The Sixth Kindred, and Prince of La Manchaland. Dulcinea does not particularly care for Cassetti, he was but one in many Sixth Kindreds, but because of his handsome face, was made to stand next to her as Prince to her Princess. He is one far too low on the ladder to truly be her equal, however. It did not surprise Dulcinea when he ran away. -La Manchaland: A prison of starvation and endless suffering for Bloodfiends and their Kin. Dulcinea despises everything about La Manchaland, even if she dutifully tends to it as part of her duties. -Sansón: A mysterious Bloodfiend who aren't one of their own. He provided the key to rise up against Father. Dulcinea is aware Sansón only sought to use them, but in her desperation, had no choice but to accept his offer. -Bari: Knight of the White Moon, and the human who led Father astray. In the past, Father used to be very quiet, rarely leaving his throne... and yet, when that human came, frivolous ideas of dreams and adventures and co-existence filled his head. Their simple life had been turned upside down because of that human... and soon, La Manchaland was created following those ideals. -Humans: Creatures with short lives and fiery anger. Dulcinea could never understand Father's obsession with these creatures and their incoherent customs. The humans themselves don't seem intent on co-existing either, always wary of Bloodfiends no matter how restrained they are.

[Story] In the distant past, Dulcinea lived closely with her family of Bloodfiends in Don Quixote's kingdom after being made one of his Kindred. When Bari, an unusual Fixer fascinated by Don Quixote's choosing to remain in solitude that bored him, gradually planted a seed of interest in the lives of humans outside of his castle, Dulcinea was among the group as they dissolved his initial kingdom, assisting in the creation of La Manchaland. The group battled alongside humans in a war against Bloodfiends, gradually instating good standing among some groups of humans.

Two hundred years prior to the modern events of Limbus Company, Dulcinea was assigned to the role of La Manchaland Area 3's overseer, where she would appear at the head of the parade as its primary attraction. She was partnered alongside a lower Kindred as her Prince, only for the Kindred, Cassetti, to one day flee from the amusement park. While the group initially was comfortable with their new roles, starvation began to set in, leading to growing dissidence against their father who was choosing to starve them in favor of devouring humans. This dissent culminated in the acquisition of the Helm of Mambrino, which brought the amusement park's leader to his knees. While the family planned to make use of their peaceful father's binding, he closed the park with everyone inside. Only once a mysterious Bloodfiend bearing a Golden Bough arrived did they return to their roles with the park re-manifesting, now feasting on the people who entered the park.

[Trivia] -Dulcinea has terrible daddy issues.
