Doraine Wintona

Fractures Series
Storyline by Rainimator and the Production Team

* Main
* Other

**Doraine Wintona** was a one-shot character exclusive to *Cold as Ice: The Remake*. She was a leading member of the Frostbourne Elytra Corps alongside Azura.

Bombarded by Blazes, she was eventually cornered during the Battle of the Far Plains, going down in a blaze of glory. She left behind her sister, Lyria Wintona, to presumably take over her role as Captain.

## Design

Doraine has pale skin, with brown hair that tints to blue. She has goggles, and a scar which appears to be on her face, indicating that she was in a fight before the events of Cold as Ice: The Remake. She is also seen wearing a dark outfit.

## Story

### History

Recruited or made a captain of the Elytra Corps through unknown means, it appears a battle scar may be present on her face, showing she was in some unknown large-scale battle. (Or maybe not a large scale battle)

### Fractures

#### *Cold as Ice: The Remake*

Doraine solely appears in Cold as Ice: The Remake, where she assembles the Elytra Corps on an Airship alongside Lady Azura in anticipation for the Nether Horde's arrival, travelling to the Far Plains. Protecting an Airship, she is eventually overwhelmed, wounded and cornered into a cabin by several Blazes, stalling them enough to detonate a stack of emergency TNT, dying in a last heroic act.

Her Airship later crashes into Daryll and Naeus, killing Daryll and severely injuring Naeus.

## Skills

Judging by her title, it can be assumed she is an excellent fighter, able to capably utilize an Elytra in battle. Her leadership skills may be at the level of Hilda. She is willing to die to protect her people, although she was not able to defend her Airship from the blazes.

## Trivia

* Doraine's skin was created by Dexter Kronos, a Production Team member, for personal use.
	+ This makes her the first female character to be based on a Prod Team member, the fifth Prod Team character in the series, and the first of those to be head of a faction or subfaction.
	+ Doraine was originally drafted to use Dexter Kronos' main skin, but this was soon changed, probably through the skin submission.
		- She was also drafted to use Azura's Elytra.
* Doraine, like Lady Azura is 23 years old, being born nearly half a year later than her on July 15th.
	+ Doraine therefore shares her birthday with Dexter herself.
		- In turn, she shares a July birth month with Rain, who was born on July 19th, based on his creator.
* It has been stated by Dexter that the character was called Doraine when she made the skin. This was later made canon after several months of back-and-forth correction.
	+ The name Dexter has multiple meanings:
		- "One who dyes" - Mainly for those who dye cloth, an unintentional nod to the Production Member's role as a skin designer
		- "Right-handed" - Ironic naming given the character is the only left handed person in the series.
		- Dexter can also mean the right hand side of a shield.
		- Dexter is actually a male name with Old English and Latin roots, making her the only character at that point with a name intended for the opposite gender.
	+ Meanwhile, the name Doraine is of French origin, meaning "A person who is loved by all".
* The last name 'Wintona' is likely a slight edit of the English name 'Winton', which means 'friend's farm'.
	+ Dexter did say it was more meant to allude to the Winter season, but is 'just rolling with what happened'.
* Doraine is the first female character to be permanently killed off **in their debut episode** and the third who died generally.
	+ Abigail Crysteffor also died in her debut episode, but was resurrected, disqualifying her from this title.
* Doraine was the seventh female character introduced in the series preceded by Abigail Crysteffor, Azura, Ceris, Stella, Ciara and Hilda.
* Doraine is the fourth character with unnatural hair color in the series preceded by Azura, Ceris and Stella.
* Lyria Wintona and Doraine were the first sibling duo in the series, with an age gap of seven years.
	+ They were later followed by Flame-Eye and Pearl.
	+ This also makes them the first confirmed family within the series.
* Doraine and Lyria's dynamic bears a relevant significance to Paige and Rose Tico from the *Star Wars* sequel trilogy.
	+ Doraine and Paige are the elder sisters of Lyria and Rose respectively, with an age gap of 7 years.
	+ Both sets of sisters fight on their respective Rebellions (Doraine/Lyria for the Frostbourne and Paige/Rose for the Resistance.
	+ Both elder sisters died early into their debuts, going down in explosions that helped hinder enemy forces so their allies could retreat.
		- Both were in control of said explosions.
	+ Both siblings were then left to take the fight to their enemies on their own, with little time to grieve.
		- However whilst Lyria became the new Elytra Corps captain, Rose Tico remained a maintenance worker.
* Doraine is the only member of the Frostbourne to kill a fellow member of their faction, albeit indirectly, with Daryll being crushed by her Airship.
* There seems to be some sort of mark on the right side of her face, possibly a war wound.
* Doraine is the third character to have unnaturally tinted hair, being preceded by Oscar and Ceris.
	+ Ceris possesses purple and pink hair, Oscar has a yellow dye in his fringe, and Dexter gradients from brown to aqua.
* On April 13th, 2023, following a comment in the #rainimator-question-corner, Dexter Kronos officially stated Doraine was **biromantic** and **demisexual**, making her the eighth LGBTQ+ character in any of the series'.
	+ She is also the second biromantic character following Ciara and the first demisexual character.
	+ Doraine's sexuality has explicitly stated to be based on Dexter's own.
		- Unlike her, however, Doraine is solely demisexual, not bisexual.
* It has been confirmed that Doraine and Azura were friends.
* Doraine, alongside Alex, Elise and Irifash, is yet to gain a voice actor.
* Doraine was the second female to be seen wearing a mask, she is also the fourth person to be wearing a mask. preceded by Daryll, Herobrine, Ceris.
