Dot is a multi-tasking entrepreneur who has business files in almost every sector of Mainframe. Her headquarters are at Dot's Diner, where her friends and neighbors drop by regularly for a byte and a cool shake. She's a fearless competitor when her happy file order is disrupted by a viral surge or a dropped Game.

Dot is an irrepressible steady planner, an entrepreneur who is wise beyond her years. She is tidy to a fault, organized, and thoughtful. Proud, independent and stubborn, Dot's function is to be productive and orderly, both in her activities and in those around her. She ensures that everything in Mainframe is running smoothly.

Dot's businesslike and analytical side is well balanced by her optimism and her very upbeat attitude. Her organizational skills, compassion and fearlessness combine to make her a strong force in the Games and the de-facto leader/problem solver of Mainframe. Her restaurant and preferred enterprise, Dot's Diner, is the favorite community hangout as well as being her personal home base.

Dot's younger brother is Enzo. She is fiercely protective of him, especially after Bob gets lost in the Web and Enzo becomes the replacement Guardian. Upon Enzo disappearing into a Game, and her losing both men in her life, Dot's [*sic*] becomes tougher than ever and pushes even harder to maintain Mainframe.

With both Guardians gone, and the threat of Megabyte stronger than ever, Dot is forced to surpass her current position of businesswoman and become the leader of an army, the savior of Mainframe.Dot is an irrepressible steady planner, a wise young lady who seems to layout everything in advance. She's tidy to a fault, organized, analytical, and thoughtful. Proud, independent and stubborn, Dot just plows ahead, day after day. Dot's function is to be productive and orderly, both in her activities and those around her.

Dot is also an ambitious low-key entrepreneur, quietly dabbling in one business after another. Her favorite enterprise is DOT'S DINER, a favorite community hangout and gathering place. Like the "Cheers" bar, Dot's Diner is a home away from home for many Mainframe residents. It's also Dot's home base after a long day in the field, checking in with her various ventures, and helping neighbours. An ongoing joke between Dot and Bob is what business in Mainframe is Dot not involved in. Bob has yet to find one. Dot also roams Mainframe, like a soldier ant, making sure everything is running smoothly.

But Dot's no cold accountant. She wants to have fun. She wants her neighbors to have fun. She's very upbeat about her attitude, and is often seen cheering up her neighbors when they're down. Dot's brand of fun is not hyperactive or phony, rather it is understated, reserved, optimistic, and very competitive - like a professional whole-team oriented basketball player on the court scoring points and blocking shots and loving every minute.

Like Bob, Dot is a bit fearless herself. She doesn't like the Games, but if trapped in one, she'll roll up her sleeves and jump in to do her part without complaining. She has a deep sense of community and compassion others that makes her very protective of her neighbors. These combined make Dot de-facto leader/problem solver of Mainframe. Whenever there's a problem, you can bet someone will ask for Dot's help. She despises Megabyte for ruining the normal happy order of life in Mainframe and the Sprites he's hurt. She is dedicated to foiling him whenever she can.

Megabyte beware: the intelligent and deliberate Dot combined with the quick and impulsive Bob make quite the team. Their styles are bound to clash, and the two have been know to have their spats, but overall Bob and Dot have a deep respect for each other. Sometimes they even show signs of a romantic spark, but it hasn't gone beyond respectful flirting.

Dot is a resilient woman. She is still optimistic and cheery despite her father's death and the annihilation of the twin city of Mainframe. Even during the Web World War, she was positive and confident. But as she watched helplessly as Bob was shot into the giant Web portal, she lost a piece of her heart. She never gives up hope that Bob is out there, and that one day he will return, but everyday takes a toll on her. She shows Megabyte no mercy.

Dot has a lot of trouble allowing Enzo to fulfill his role as the replacement Guardian - he is just a small Sprite. When Phong insists she stay behind to plan against Megabyte's next move, she begins to notice that Enzo has done a lot of growing up despite her.

When Enzo, Frisket and AndrAIa are lost inside a Game Cube that leaves after the User wins, Dot can't help but blame herself. She has lost both of the men in her life, Enzo and Bob, not to mention Frisket and AndrAIa. Others would crumble under the weight of such losses, but it only makes Dot push harder, plan smarter and fight more fiercely.Dot is an irrepressible steady planner, an entrepreneur who is wise beyond her years.

## Biography

### S4 Flashbacks

During the events seen in flashback form in Daemon Rising, Dot's age appeared to be equivalent to her late teens. Her activities at that time included assisting her father, Welman, in preparing for the presentation of his gateway command, and supervising the construction of Dot's Diner. At the time of the destruction of Mainframe's twin city, she was engaged in the latter, as well as looking after her younger brother, Enzo. Welman was nullified in the disaster, leaving Dot and Enzo effectively orphaned. (No mention is ever made of a mother or any other relatives; the existence of such at this point in the timeline cannot be completely ruled out, but there is no evidence of it.) It was in the aftermath of the disaster that she met Bob for the first time.
