## Profile

### Appearance

Dolcinaea wears a large blue gown and has voluminous blond hair tied into a large bun.

### Personality

As one of the most renowned dancers in the continent, Dolcinaea exudes an air of confidence, grace, and beauty. Such an air also makes her come off as conceited and selfish, such as when she attempted to buy out the entire eastern district of Sai despite the protests of the residents. However, this haughty appearance is a merely a mask made from her insecurity regarding her upbringing as a orphaned vagrant in Sai. After being bested by Agnea on the stage, she finally lets that mask go and once again embraces the teachings she learned from Agnea's mother Cuani that inspired her to take up dancing in the first place.

Despite her cultured appearance, Dolcinaea does not appear to be particularly bright, as she mistook the dumbbell gifted to her by her bodyguard Veronica for some sort of musical instrument.

## History

### Prior to Story

Dolcinaea grew up in Sai as an orphan who was taken in by Platt and his wife. One day, a traveling dancer named Cuani came into town and after watching her perform, Dolcinaea wanted to dance like her, so she started practicing. Cuani witnessed her practicing and began to teach her how to dance. Some time after, Dolcinaea left Sai and began to hone her dancing and musical skills, eventually becoming a famed superstar all over the world.

### Story

Dolcinaea arrived in New Delsta to perform for the people at the theater. There, she performed her hit "All for You" to the delight of the crowd, which included Agnea, a traveler seeking stardom. Later, after Agnea defeated La'mani, the theater's manager, in a confrontation, she appeared with her bodyguard Veronica to stop things from escalating further and demanded La'mani honor her request to lay off a bar he vandalized earlier. Soon, after Agnea left New Delsta, Dolcinaea and Veronica discussed future plans for a certain place that they paid for.

Dolcinaea eventually made her way to Sai, where she intended to tear down the slums to build a more prosperous place called Dolcinaealand, to the townspeople's anger. She then retreated to the top of Dragonridge with Veronica to oversee things, but was confronted by Agnea, who helped the townspeople stop her team from destroying the town. Irritated, Dolcinaea sent Veronica in an attempt to get rid of Agnea, but her bodyguard ended up defeated. Despite this, she complimented Agnea and decided to settle things with her in Merry Hills, where the Grand Gala was being held. She and her entourage retreated from the area, but not before destroying Cuani's statue in the town square.

At Merry Hills, Dolcinaea started the show at the Stage of the Moon and Sun, where she called Agnea up on stage after the latter arrived despite being late due to La'mani's attempted intervention. There, they faced off against each other and though Dolcinaea had the crowd on her side at first, Agnea began to gradually gain support from her family, friends, and eventually more of the crowd. They then continued their battle, with Agnea emerging victorious. Defeated, but at peace, Dolcinaea left Merry Hills with Veronica.

### Veronica's Next Chapter

After the events at Merry Hills, Dolcinaea returned to New Delsta to continue her performances and tours. One day, Veronica came by to give her a gift as an anniversary on the day they first met: a dumbbell, which delighted Dolcinaea. After briefly reminiscing on their past, they proceeded to get ready for the next show, although to Veronica's dismay, Dolcinaea intended to use the dumbbell for a musical purpose vice its true one.
