Dorian Pelagos

**Dorian Pelagos** (Rinnarit Norse: ᛞᛟᚱJᚨᚾ ᛈᛖᛚᚨᚷᛟᛋ) is a Vetarbroitar woman from the Rinnarit Republic.

## Appearance

Dorian is a medium-sized woman with peach skin, orange and yellow hair, and green eyes. Her friends compared her hair to fire.

## History

She is the second daughter of Perikles Pelagos, a member of the Rinnarit government. In their preschool days, she befriended a lonely Snowfolk girl at a playground. That girl turned out to be Leukia, the adopted daughter of the President of the nation. She pitied Leukia's sadness from having no friends to play with.

With almost no one to play with except her brothers, Leukia wanted her father, the President, to allow Dorian to freely visit her home any time. Out of kindness, the President also gave her and her parents and siblings some gold-foil tickets, so they can simply walk into the palace without waiting for the guards.

Dorian also had mental issues: sometimes, she can be triggered by certain words or expressions can be make her very angry. Knowing this, Leukia tried to help her overcome those words, so she can avoid an outburst and move on. Her pale friend learned to use certain alternate expressions to calm her down.

In one particular incident, Dorian and Leukia invited a friend from Bigton to have lunch together. The Bigtonian girl mentioned that someone told her "boo hoo" and "deal with it" without saying that it was a quote, and Leukia quickly covered her mouth. Hearing those words drove Dorian into a fit of rage, that she grabbed her knife and tried to stab the guest, screaming "The Americans are coming! The Americans are coming!"

The guest told her that she was not an American, but a Bigtonian, just that the two cultures seemed similar but that her people rejected the errors of their ancestors and burned their effigies. She and Leukia restrained Dorian, and sent her to a clinic to help her recover from her panic.

## Personality

Dorian is as playful and masculine as she was in her younger days: she likes to pick fights, and act assertive, but she is also friendly and helpful. She is also a devout worshipper of Freyr, her mother's god. She also likes to take on challenges.

However, as a Vetarbroitar, she can be more mentally-unstable. Certain words can cause her to panic at first, and if she doesn't stop herself (with much difficulty), she might become very angry and violent. This could be due to her DNA causing her to go haywire on anything that reminds her of the evil 21st century.

Because of this attitude, Dorian can be seen as paranoid. Sometimes she tries not to cry or complain, fearing that the "Americans" will come for her and torture her. Leukia and other friends learned that she got this paranoid attitude from distorted history books, which depicted the peoples of Earth as very evil and sadistic people.

Dorian tries to come in terms with her people's horrific past. Sometimes, she tries not to repeat the errors of history, only to worry about becoming like the True Vetarbroitar.

### Interests

Dorian likes to play tricks on people, go skateboarding, do boxing, and race. She also likes to race against Snowfolk girls to challenge their speed, and even against Snowfolk boys who are allegedly the faster ones.

She likes the colour orange, and warm colours.

### Vetarbroitar fears

As a Vetarbroitar, she hated Earthlings, especially Americans. She often saw them as unruly, chaotic, cruel, and savage over every evil thing their ancestors did in the 21st century. She always feared that the Americans will come and torture her for rejecting their cruelty. When her friends asked her to draw an "American", she drew a policeman, an Internet troll, a lone wolf shooter, a truck driver who yelled all sorts of hateful words, a paramilitary member, a politician drinking blood, and a communist, all of which were accompanied with symbols of Loki and demons. Nothing more than stereotypic bogeymen implanted into the DNA of every Vetarbroitar since they were created as weapons of war.

She also had to struggle with an inborn hatred of anything to do with Christianity. Vetarbroitar were notorious for their vehement hatred of Christians because of the actions of the mediaeval Church and America, their arch-enemy; luckily, the Rinnarit ones were forced to abandon that hatred even as it occasionally emerges as a fear. Sometimes she struggled with coming to terms with having a Christian as her best friend, especially because Leukia wanted to help her. Leukia seemed to comfort her when she also cursed the people of the 21st century, assuring her that the evil Earthlings are already in Hell, never to emerge again to hurt her from the shadows.

## Relationships

Her father is Perikles Pelagos, who married a Norse woman and converted to Asatru. She has four brothers and three sisters.

Her lifelong friend is Leukia Joriksdottir.

At first, she was attracted to Halsteinn, because he was a gentleman whom she spent time with as a friend. But she got bored of him and turned towards one of Leukia's competing boyfriends, William, whom she sometimes wrestled with. Eventually, as Leukia chose his rival Theodosius, she and William fell in love.

## Trivia
