## Background

Dorothy McDougall was born to two parents who own a Bakery in North Park. She was diagnosed with an incurable heart condition since birth that makes her unable to properly regulate her heart beat. Because of this, she needs to carry with her a heart monitor that allows her to keep track of her current heart rate and whether it is too slow or fast. Her heart is particularly sensitive to sudden changes, as that is when it becomes hardest to control and most at risk of hospitalization or even death. Things that cause stress or sudden shock can be very dangerous for her.

## Appearance

Dorothy is a 3rd grade girl with light freckled skin and wavy ginger hair cut in a bob. She is often seen wearing a light brown coat with brown gloves and collar, a red pleated skirt and large light blue bow in her hair. She has a heart monitor that she usually wears over her chest or on her waist.

## Personality

Despite being born with such a debilitating condition and being a ginger, Dorothy tries to keep an uplifted positive attitude about life, even if that sometimes is difficult. She has many fears, and is particularly afraid of small disease carrying animals like rats and mice. She has an incredibly curious personality in spite of her fears, and even if she is afraid of something her curiosity will cause her to seek it out, even though it is risky for her and her heart condition. She loves the idea of adventure, and some day wishes to go out and experience all the world has to offer her. She loves when her parents let her go out on her own, which is rare with how protective they are of her. Dorothy also enjoys making treats at her parent's bakery, mostly sweet things as they help her feel more positive about her current situation. She sometimes will try baking things for people she is trying to befriend or convince to not dislike her. She has a diary where she writes down a lot of her thoughts and feelings as having somewhere to vent helps her de-stress after long days at school.

## Family

#### Parents

Mr and Mrs McDougall run a bakery in North Park together. They are very protective of their daughter out of concern for her health and safety. They are both very loving and doting parents who can perhaps come across as overprotective, but it is easy to see why they would be this way when so much poses a threat to their daughter.

#### Delly

Delly is Dorothy's older cousin. Dorothy looks up to her a lot, and likes to tell her about and show Delly her achievements. Delly does her best to look out for her cousin as she knows how high risk she is, and the two of them for the most part get along well. Delly can sometimes find Dorothy to be a bit annoying or embarrassing at times but won't stand for anyone putting her down and picking on her, which happens a lot to Dorothy.

#### Nurse Maggie

Nurse Maggie is Dorothy's aunt who works as the school nurse. Because of this, they have a pretty close relationship with Maggie frequently taking care of her niece's health needs when she's at school. Dorothy has a lot of appreciation and respect for her aunt, almost seeing her like a second mother.

## Relationships

#### Hansel

Dorothy heard rumors around school about the freaky rat boy who lives in the sewers and alley ways of North Park, who sneaks around at night and breaks into houses to steal your food and eat you. And worst of all, that he even goes to the same school. Dorothy is already scared of rats, so to hear that there is some monstrous sharp toothed rat boy out there terrified her. Because of this some of her peers even dared to enter areas he is known to be such as dark alleyways in order to test her bravery. Dorothy finds Hansel to be very mysterious and intriguing, and wants to know more about him at the same time as being scared of the idea of him. However the closer she gets to overcoming her fears about Hansel, the stronger her heart gets. Her conflicting feelings over time seem to be developing into a bit of a crush on the strange homeless boy, who at the moment seems unaware of her attention.

#### Cindy

Cindy is one of Dorothy's best friends and acts like an older sister to her. Cindy is aware of Dorothy's condition and does her best to protect and look out for her around school, checking in on her if she feels something may be wrong, and standing up to anyone who may try and bully her. alongside Cindy Dorothy also gets help from Mute who is often with Cindy, and is also a close friend and older sister type to Dorothy. When characters like Neil, Melville, or Lydia's gang give Dorothy a hard time you can be sure that Cindy and Mute will be there to stand up for her.

#### Dizzy

Dizzy is one of Dorothy's best friends. When she is feeling stressed she often comes to Dizzy to calm down, because of how cheery and friendly Dizzy is and the fact he is squishy like a stress ball making him a great hugger. Dorothy likes to sometimes trade things like clothes, accessories and makeup to Dizzy who enjoys feminine clothing. Dizzy also was apart of Dorothy's bodyguard service started by Rulf, but Dorothy discontinued it when they both got too carried away and started assaulting innocent people they perceived as threats to Dorothy. Dizzy and Dorothy also once managed to convince Rulf to let them dress him up in girly makeup and accessories, a very impressive feat.

#### Rulf Brükmalleg

Rulf was initially cold to Dorothy before he knew of her disability, but once he found out he became very protective of her seeing Dorothy as one of his own people now. Rulf tends to be very aggressive and angry in his beliefs which concerns Dorothy a bit, who mostly writes it off as him getting carried away with things he is passionate about. She often spends time with him when she is hanging out with Dizzy, as Dizzy tends to follow Rulf around. Rulf started a bodyguard service for Dorothy consisting of himself and Dizzy, but got too carried away and overzealous in protecting her that Dorothy politely asked them to stop, but that she was still very thankful that they were looking out for her.

#### Posie

Dorothy looks up to Posie as she is the most popular girl in school and leader of the girl's club. Dorothy likely has self esteem issues stemming from her weak heart and the fact she is a ginger, and wishes she could be as well liked and pretty as Posie is. Posie's positive attitude about life is also inspiring for Dorothy, who tries to have a similar positive outlook to help her get through the day.

#### Cripple Fucker

Dorothy has been occasionally stalked by Cripple Fucker, which she finds concerning. She doesn't like when he gets too close or physical as it causes her a lot of stress and could potentially even harm. She often writes him off as a weirdo "bad touch boy", and since her disability isn't particularly apparent to the outside observer, Cripple Fucker himself doesn't often give her trouble, causing less problems for her overall compared to how he treats the other disabled kids at school.

## Powers and abilities

#### Baking

Dorothy has a lot of experience working at her parent's bakery, and is particularly skilled and making sweet treats like cakes, pastries and cookies.
