Dot

* Splash Art

* Sprite (Pixel)

**Dot** is the main deuteragonist of *Penguinronpa.* She is one of the fifteen participants of the killing game, and her talent is the **Ultimate Disguise Gal.** She is described as a master of stealth, and is the one who recruited Agent into the Elite Penguin Force.

## Appearance

Dot is a purple penguin with a short blonde wig that wears a light bluish-purple overcoat with a blue necktie and skirt. Her design is modeled after her brief appearance at the end of PSA Mission 11.

## Personality

Dot is a highly skilled and intelligent member of the Elite Penguin Force, and takes her duty to protect other penguins very seriously. That said, she is no stranger to joking around every now and then, and often teases her friends. Dot is typically seen to be cheery and kind, but if things get serious, she will either immediately start acting cold and calculated, or lose her cool entirely.

### **Spoilers**

At the end of Chapter 2, Dot feels betrayed by Paige after she murders Rockhopper, causing her to enter a fit of rage and lose trust in the remaining survivors. In Chapter 3, She acts separately from the rest of the group, only speaking to them if she absolutely has to. When she does speak, it is typically with an annoyed and uncaring tone.

However, at the end of Chapter 3, Dot reveals to Agent that this was all an act, and that deep down she did want to trust the others, but she was terrified of potentially being betrayed again. Dot describes this act as "disguising her emotions", and there a few times throughout Chapter 3 where this facade breaks and she shows genuine concern, such as when she discovers that Agent was attacked in the Mine Tunnels. When Dot is unable to conceal her feelings, she enters an incredibly emotionally vulnerable state.

From Chapter 4 onward, Dot begins to trust the others again, and is properly established as the main supporting character to Agent. She does still somewhat retain her personality from Chapter 3 when it comes to dealing with either Monobert or information surrounding the killing game, in which she acts angry or condescending.

## Canon Timeline

### **Prior to the events of *Penguinronpa***

Dot was recruited into the PSA and EPF some time before 2008. After mastering her stealth expertise, she was tasked with recruiting Agent into the Elite Penguin Force.

### **Prologue**

Dot is first seen in the Coffee Shop with the other penguins, where she introduces herself as the Ultimate Disguise Gal. Rookie asks if she is currently disguised, but Dot affirms that she's wearing her regular attire. However, she quickly realizes that her disguises have been confiscated from her.

After everyone has finished their introductions, Dot goes to the Snow Forts with the others, where she meets Monobert for the first time. At first, she finds him to be laughable, as she believes that Herbert has absolutely no authority over the Elite Penguin Force. But Dot quickly grows wary of the situation after Monobert makes the Clock Tower explode and explains the rules of the killing game. Once Monobert leaves the Snow Forts, Dot goes to her igloo for the night, as does everyone else.

### **Chapter 1**

#### **Daily Life**

Dot investigates the Lighthouse with Jet Pack Guy and Paige, only to find that it's locked. The group then searches the Pizza Parlor, only to find that the other groups had planned to meet up at the Pizza Parlor to share their findings, so they decide to just stay there while they wait for everyone else. Dot seems annoyed that her group didn't find any clues, but Aunt Arctic encourages her that any information is important.

The next morning, Dot is at the Coffee Shop eating pancakes with the others. Everyone quickly begins arguing about the motive, and Dot comes to Aunt Arctic's defense after Franky accuses her of being the traitor. Sam then tries to accuse Dot by claiming she could be deceiving everyone with her disguise skills, to which Dot retorts that Sam could be doing the same with his acting skills. Dot then leaves the Coffee Shop with everyone else after getting fed up with all of the fighting.

The following day, Dot greets Agent outside their igloo alongside Jet Pack Guy and Rookie. The three of them have decided to make pancakes for everyone again after the previous day's breakfast ended in arguments. Dot asks Agent and Rookie to go around knocking on everyone's doors to tell them to come to the Coffee Shop. As Dot and Jet Pack Guy return to the Coffee Shop, Agent and Rookie quickly discover Aunt Arctic's corpse in her own igloo.

#### **Deadly Life**

Dot arrives in Aunt Arctic's igloo after Monobert broadcasts the body discovery announcement and investigates the crime scene with the other EPF agents. Dot finds a scrap of burnt black fabric on the floor near the fireplace, and she immediately glares at Jet Pack Guy, given his black suit. She mostly does this for comedic purposes though, as she states directly afterward that she trusts he wouldn't commit murder. Dot and Jet Pack Guy then guard Aunt Arctic's body to make sure that no one tampers with the crime scene.

During the trial, Dot reveals that she and Jet Pack Guy found Aunt Arctic's camera in her desk drawer. Dot theorizes that the black scrap of fabric she found actually came from Aunt Arctic's Director uniform, meaning she was likely wearing it while she was murdered. The penguins then deduce that the killer must have been someone who thought Aunt Arctic looked suspicious while wearing her Director's uniform, which in turn means that the culprit is highly unlikely to be any of the EPF agents, giving Dot an alibi. Rookie is confused about Dot's theory, so she explains that she believes the killer must have burned Aunt Arctic's suit in the fireplace to hide the fact that she was wearing it. However, Dot says she is uncertain about the killer's reasoning for doing this.

As the trial continues, Sensei becomes a prime suspect of the case, due to the fact that the walking stick he usually carries is likely the murder weapon, and he happens to no longer be carrying it. Sensei argues that he never had his stick since the killing game began, much like how Dot's disguises were taken from her, and Jet Pack Guy's jet pack was drained of its fuel. Dot counters his claim by saying that her disguises and a jet pack would actually be useful, unlike his stick. For further evidence, Dot lets Agent look at the camera she found, and they find the group photo everyone took at the Pizza Parlor, where Sensei's walking stick is clearly visible. Once Sensei's guilt is proven, Dot congratulates Agent on solving another mystery.

(wip for now)

## Non-Canon Specials

### **2020 Holiday Special**

Dot appears as one of the main characters in this special alongside Agent, Klutzy, Cadence, and Franky. Dot wears her snowman disguise from *Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force.* They adventure across the island looking for Rockhopper who is hiding at the top of the Tallest Mountain, despairing over having only two sprites. The characters then get Tofudemaru to do something about it, but the universe begins falling apart, with Dot appearing with her Pizza sprite. They and the universe return to normal once Tofu confirms that Rockhopper will only have two sprites.

### **2021 Halloween Special**

Dot herself does not appear in this special, but she makes a brief cameo during the end credits where she is seen in a pile of costumes, which she is credited for making.

### **12 Days of Christmas (Holiday Special 2021)**

Dot appears on the first day of the special where she changes into a more festive outfit. She sings the lyrics of the song with Agent and the others as they continue appearing throughout the special.

### **Penguinronparonpa Special**

Dot is one of the main characters of the special, along with Agent, Makoto Naegi, and Kyoko Kirigiri as their respective Danganronpa pairings. Dot and Agent bond with two Hope Peak students to which they recieve two Hope Fragments from it. The four of them then go around the island solving various conflicts between the cast of Penguinronpa and Danganronpa and gathering Hope Fragments from their friendships, starting with Cadence and Sayaka Maizono and eventually Klutzy and Monomi. Eventually this leads to a trial hosted by Monobert and Junko Enoshima, to which they reveal they've been wanting to start another killing game within the Penguinronpa Non-Canon Universe, erasing both casts of character's memories and using the Hope Fragment's powers to alter the universe so they can actually hurt each other.

Junko then winds up receiving the power from the Hope Fragments, back stabbing Monobert in the process and is only stopped by Gary and Miu Iruma's Fuck You 3000, an invention made to counteract any last minute plot twists. Junko is then hit and after the protagonists tell her that she lost, Junko then insists that she will be brought back once again in some way and she is fine with the despair of constantly dying and being brought back over and over. Afterwards, Junko explodes, revealing a portal back to the Danganronpa Universe. The casts of both canons say goodbye to one another and the protagonists theorise over their encounters bringing everything back full circle. Aunt Arctic then lets the protagonists take a photo with one another, to which Gary and Miu Iruma bomb the photo, ending the special. (Outside of the epilogue at the end of said special.)
