Dory is the main deuteragonist from the Finding Nemo series.

Throughout the vast ocean, you will not find a fish more hospitable, more friendly, and more sociable than Dory. She would love to chat with you all day and tell you her life story but she can't, Dory suffers from short-term memory loss.
Dory is the aquatic Good Samaritan who offers to help Marlin on his journey to find his son. She is certainly an odd partner for such a quest, but her optimism proves an invaluable quality to help overcome the impossible. To Dory, the glass is always half-full.
Dory is very optimistic and kind but a ditzy and forgetful fish. This is because she suffers from short-term memory loss. However, she has a heart of gold and was willing to go full lengths to help Marlin find his son (even though she can never remember his name).

== Trivia ==
* According to director Andrew Stanton on the audio commentary for the Finding Nemo DVD, in the original story, Dory was going to be a male character, but when Stanton went home to write the script his wife was watching The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and when he heard DeGeneres' voice, he decided to change Dory to a female and cast her in the role, which she accepted.
* Dory has made cameos in several of Boom! Studios' Disney comics including The Incredibles, where she appears in an underwater scene, and Darkwing Duck (on the last page of issue 7), where she and other Disney sea creatures react in fear to the return of the villainous Paddywhack.
* On the Disney website, they mistakenly refer to Dory as a Yellowtail Tang. Although she does have a yellowtail, this is a different species of fish.
* Dory's species is known by several common names, including regal tang, palette surgeonfish, blue tang, royal blue tang, hippo tang, flagtail surgeonfish, Pacific regal blue tang, and blue surgeonfish.
* Dory is the third female protagonist in a Pixar film, the first two being Merida and Joy.
** Dory is also Pixar’s third titular character, the first two being Nemo and WALL-E, and the second titular character to be a protagonist overall, the first one being WALL-E.
** Dory is also Pixar’s first female titular character.
* The nicknames Dory gave to Nemo (in order of appearance) are Chico, Fabio, Bingo, Harpo, and Elmo.
* Many people think that goldfish have poor short term memories. Even though Dory is not a goldfish, this point might be linked to her amnesia-like condition but, contrary to popular belief, goldfish do not have a three second memory; they can actually remember things for at least five months.
* In Finding Nemo: The Musical, Dory wears mismatched socks.
* In the Navajo version of Finding Nemo, Dory is voiced by Natalie Benally.
* In the German versions of Finding Nemo and Finding Dory, Dory is voiced by comedian Anke Engelke.
* On the DVD menu for Disc 1 (Widescreen) of the 2003 DVD release of Finding Nemo, Dory (offscreen) tells Marlin that she always wanted to see The Little Mermaid to which Marlin explains that the movie he and Dory are watching is Finding Nemo itself.
* Dory's emotional speech to Marlin in the first film was all done in a single take by Ellen DeGeneres. DeGeneres did try to re-record it, but the first take had to be used because she was getting too emotional when doing so.
* Dory is one of the characters who makes a cameo in "Disney's Harmony In color! Parade" in which she appears on a light-blue petal.
