Dorothy Elford (**ドロシー=エルフォドー**; Romaji: ***Doroshī Erufōdo***) was a woman who earned a false reputation as a murderer and the apparent host of the incident that occurred in the mansion of Ribecca Mountains. She was the grandmother of Claire Elford and the guardian of Sirius Gibson, following the execution of his parents.

## Appearance

Dorothy was an old woman in her 50s-60s, although her exact age is unknown. She had long purple hair with one lock that stuck out in front of her face and blue eyes. Her main outfit consists of a dark purple dress with a pale blue undershirt, accompanied by a long necklace with a red jewel on the end. Occasionally, she would be seen wearing a witch's hat and earrings. She was taller than Sirius, Claire, and Patricia as children, although her exact height is never revealed.

## Personality

Despite the accusations of extreme cruelty caused by her, Dorothy was a kind and gentle woman. She took care of Claire and Sirius following the death of their parents, though Sirius was not related to her in any way. She also encouraged Sirius to make more friends, despite his initial refusal to.

Though naturally gentle, she is capable of becoming tough towards others in order to protect those she holds dear, as shown when she breaks her rule to not kill in order to rid the world of Nicholas Levine.

For unknown reasons, she chose to erase Claire's memories of her time with her, Sirius, and Patricia following Claire's disappearance.

## Backstory

Dorothy lived in the mansion located in Ribecca Mountains. She took Sirius and Claire in as children after their parents were executed in Nicholas' witch hunts. She was an incredibly kind woman and served as a mother figure for Sirius.

Mere days before the main story's beginning, posters had been strewn around the town calling for Dorothy's execution- Nicholas pinned the blame on her, claiming she was the ringleader of the witches and responsible for the terror gripping the town. She planned to send Sirius away, but he refused to leave, and she finally caved and agreed to flee with him. Before the two were able to escape, however, Nicholas Levine's soldiers stormed her home. She protected Sirius by hiding him in the mansion's magic room and telling him to take shelter there until she said it was safe.

After ensuring Sirius' safety, she fought by putting every soldier asleep with a tranquilizer gun. Nicholas took this opportunity to kill the army of men, mutilating their bodies and stringing their organs up inside Dorothy's bedroom. He claimed it was to show off "the work of a witch", essentially framing Dorothy for his own heinous actions and soiling her name.

Dorothy attempted to kill Nicholas before he could murder her. Nicholas got to her first, as he had a real gun and not a tranquilizer. As she was dying, Sirius ran out of his hiding space and screamed for Nicholas to get away from her. Nicholas threatened him with his weapon, but before either of them could do anything, the many-eyed monster appeared and took Dorothy's corpse.

Rumors quickly sprung up about Dorothy being this monster, causing the mansion to be rumored as haunted.
