## Biography

### Childhood

Dorothy Pevensie was born in 1933, the youngest of five children. She has two older brothers, Peter and Edmund, and two older sisters, Susan and Lucy. Alongside her siblings and parents, Dorothy grew up in Finchley. She was just as imaginative as Lucy, resulting in the two having more of a closer bond than the rest of their siblings.

In 1940, when Dorothy was eleven years old, the Blitz of World War II began. As a result, she and her siblings were evacuated from London for their safety, temporarily staying in Professor Kirke's country manor.

## Character

As a young girl, Dorothy was very quiet among her siblings and was always shy around people, especially when her father left to fight in the war. She was always by Peter's side, as she felt more protective when she was near him but she was also sometimes near Susan. Despite her shyness, Dorothy shared a wide imagination with her older sister Lucy, thus resulting in the two having a strong bond with one another. However, during her first journey in Narnia, Dorothy grew out of her shyness, becoming more and more determined to get her older brother.

After her first journey in Narnia, Dorothy tried to keep her mind off of returning to the magical land by trying to make friends her age but had a hard time doing so. She began to read more, as well as becoming more intelligent in her classes and she was skipped to being in the same grade as Lucy.

In her teen years, she became more artistic as well, drawing the same painting that she and her siblings, along with Eustace, were sucked into. She became more witty and sassy, traits she had picked up from Edmund. For example, to make her sister feel better at wearing men's clothing in the third film, she states "that they rock these outfits better than the men".

## Ages

She is 7 (11) to 22 (26) in "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe", 8 (12) in "Prince Caspian", 9 (13) in Voyage of the Dawn Treader", 21 (25) in "The Horse and His Boy", 10 (14) in the "The Silver Chair", and 16 (20) in "The Last Battle".

## Appearance

Throughout the films, Dorothy grew into a beautiful young teen by the time she was only thirteen years old. In the first film, Dorothy is slender and small and has short, curly blonde hair that reaches above her shoulders. She has bright blue eyes, a fair skin complexion, and pink plump lips.

In the second film, Dorothy loses her baby fat and her hair has grown longer, reaching down just a little below the shoulders. She has grown slightly taller and is almost a head taller than Lucy.

By the third film, Dorothy is now taller than Lucy and is even more beautiful than Susan. Her hair is now down to her mid-section and is more curly than it was in the first film.
