## Appearance

Dolly Haze is a tall, thin African-American woman of slimmer-than-average build, standing at 6'2'' (188 cm), with long blue hair syled into a bob and a pair of spiralling drills on either side of her face. She wears grey, silvery lipstick and blush - of the same colour as her eyes, which are covered by a red visor.

Dolly wears a matching striped black/white vest and skirt underneath a long grey overcoat, with a star-shaped opening on the front, and a reflective cape over top, with a dark black rim around her neck. She has long forearm-length fingerless gloves of a similar colour to her overcoat.

One of her most immediate features are her mechanical legs, styled like tall boots segmented between a white bottom layer and a skin-coloured top layer. Dolly is a double-amputee, and so has a fully mechanised lower half, with some internal cybernetics (such as ammo compartments in her gut.)

## Background

Dolores-Jane Haze - commonly known as just 'Dolly Haze' - is a former resident of Neo New York City and one of the protagonists of Team A in Crystal River Romp.

Originally a more reclusive young girl, the destruction of New York City in 2044 resulted in the death of her father and the eventual amputation of both of her legs following her rescue by disaster relief workers. Following this, she was wheelchair bound for many years until she turned seventeen, where she was given her own cybernetic legs.

Dolly would pursue a degree in audio-engineering at university, graduating top of her class and passing shockingly early. Since then, she would bounce up and down the East Coast, for fun and profit - and a chance to hang out with her 'niece' Minerva Zeppeli, after all.

## Abilities

### Cybernetic Legs

Since losing her own legs, Dolly has since had them replaced with cybernetics. Each contains a fully powered shotgun and other firearms, which unfurl from the sides of her legs as small slots that fire outwards.

### Stand: Sunday Clothes

Sunday Clothes, is a mid-long range accumulation type Colony Stand capable of absorbing kinetic energy (specifically as it relates to soundwaves in the air), building it up within each unit so long as it is within range. Once the Stand has taken this sound, it can splice it, control its pitch or amplitude, and release it however it likes. Sunday Clothes, at high enough concentrations of sound, can rip through the air itself in massive bursts.

It's one glaring weakness is its blindness; Dolly is incapable of viewing through her Stand or feeling any senses from it, and has to control it remotely. Due to this, the units tend to move quite clumsily, swaying side-to-side and bouncing around.

## Trivia

* Dolly went through many different iterations prior to her final characterisation. Originally, she was going to be a lot more ditzy, independent and slightly dickish, with a low brains but incredible bravery. It was only when Curly decided to focus on her 'focus to the future' that she took on a more sci-fi aesthetic.
* 'Dolly Haze' was made from a corruption of 'Hello, Dolly!' ('Hello Dolly' -> 'Hey Dolly' -> 'Dolly Hey' -> 'Dolly Heyes' -> 'Dolly Haze').
* Underneath her visor, Dolly has quite thick, dark bags. These aren't real, she just puts the makeup on to make Minerva feel less bad about her own.
* Every night before bed, Dolly and her Stand perform a short conga dance to raise spirits. This arose from the first night after she was given her cybernetics, where instead of taking them off to go to bed, she danced the whole night.
* Dolly is a natural born Stand User and has had Sunday Clothes since birth. It was even smaller back then.
* She has severe claustrophobia and prolonged isolation quickly breaks her down into tears.
* She is very knowledgeable about 50s/60s Sci-Fi B-Movies.
* In her earliest concepts, Dolly was a handsome young man named Barnaby, looking for companionship since leaving New York. He was also gonna be a guest villain.
* The original story for how Dolly would've lost her legs was going to be much darker, with Dolly originally having been in a gang until a police shootout hit her in the spine and paralysed her for life. This was quickly changed, due to being uncharacteristically gritty.
* As Dolly's backstory was being made, Curly used a Plots Point to cause the destruction of New York City, indirectly creating Audrey's backstory.
