Doremi Harukaze

**Doremi Harukaze**, also known as **Dorie Goodwyn**, is the main protagonist of the *Ojamajo Doremi* anime and light novels.

Doremi has a good nature, but she is clumsy and chronically unlucky but her good nature has drawn many true companions to her over the course of the series.

She became an apprentice when she called Majo Rika a "Witch", inadvertently triggering an age-old curse that turns Witches in Witch Frogs when they're uncovered. To undo the curse, Doremi has to become stronger and become a full-fledged Witch. Along the way, she uses her new found magic to help other people through their problems, but she has to keep it a secret.

In the AWA fics, Doremi is a student at the AWA Academy and is part of Class 11.

## **Appearance**

Doremi has fair skin and round mulberry eyes. Her long red hair is usually worn up in large chignon buns held by pink scrunchies, one of which has a yellow music note. Her bangs are cut short with a bunch sticking up on the side. When loose, her hair lining matches her bangs. The only two episodes where Doremi has her hair down is in episodes 2 and 49 of Ojamajo Doremi Sharp.

Originally, Doremi wore a carnation pink T-shirt tucked into her loose, light pink denim shorts with a mauve tank-top. She also wore white and pink sneakers with magenta accents and pale pink socks.

Starting with Motto, Doremi began wearing a mauve zipped vest with a pocket over the original top and lilac shorts with pockets and belt. She kept her shoes, while her socks became knee-length.

## **Personality**

Like many other shoujo leads, Doremi is childish and simple-minded, clumsy, and likely dismissed by others for being "troublesome". At times she can be selfish and impulsive, and she is easy to provoke, usually to the amusement of others. She can also be pushy and lazy. This has led to a lot of self-loathing on her part, and she struggles to find anything that she can do well. She also gets into trouble a lot. She is easily jealous by trivial things, but she's likely to move on fairly quick. Throughout the series (mainly in the first season), she often claims to be "the unluckiest pretty girl in the whole world" whenever something unlucky happens to her. She is also known to puff up her cheeks and making a farting noise when frustrated.

Family and friends are very important to Doremi and she likes to keep them close her. Along with this, she also has a few other obsessions. The first is her unusual attraction to steak. This obsession first occurred when her father, Keisuke Harukaze, introduced her to steak for the first time. Ever since that time, Doremi mentions steak often yet as a running gag, she never eats it. Doremi is also known to be obsessed with boys and easily finds herself "in love" with guy after guy. These attractions usually don't go anywhere which is a result of either Doremi not being able to express her feelings or by the guy turning out to be different from what expected.

However, one of Doremi's best qualities is her immensely kind heart. She is very friendly and will do what she can to help, even if she doesn't necessarily like the person. While this does make her appear nosy, she has also gained several friends because of her tenacity and well-meaning gestures. She is determined, but also passionate and stubborn, and many find her positive and easy-going nature to be infectious.

Growing up, Doremi has struggled to be understood by others which caused her much frustration when they ridiculed her interest in magic. Not only is she a big eater, but she is boy-crazy and loves romantic things. She is also very emotional and expressive, and a bit shy when it comes to her feelings.

## **Abilities**

Doremi is the pink witch apprentice and the reason the term "ojamajo" was invented. Initially, she expressed concern over becoming a Witch Apprentice until she realized she could perform magic, and she soon convinced her friends Hazuki Fujiwara and Aiko Senoo to join her when she caught them spying on her.

Doremi is thought of as the leader and can get envious or concerned when others perform better. Her clumsiness really comes out when she attempts to cast spells and fly, and they rarely work as intended; usually, if she was hungry or flustered. At first, Doremi had a habit of making greedy spells due to her gluttonous nature.

She has a pink, bean-shaped crystal ball and her fairy is Dodo.
