Dodori

A young Dragon that gets hired by Deruth Henituse (although unaware of the young man's nature as a dragon, despite ironically expressing a desire to hire one) during the time Cale has spent undergoing the Sealed God's test.

Similar to many of the other people that Deruth hired, Dodori arrived at the other Henituse castle located in the capital to protect and help Cale—though the young dragon has his own personal reasons, as well.

After reading Cale's hundreds of unofficial biographies, written by fans and citizens based on the tale sung by bards throughout the continent, Dodori soon came to admire Cale and expresses a desire to help turn him into the "greatest hero in human history."

The most touching books about Cale's life that he has read (several times, in fact, considering how worn the book was when he showed it to Cale, despite his story only having gone on for a little over two years) is titled, [*Young Master Silver Shield Cale Henituse, A Kind of Hero Who Will Never Be Seen in the World Again],* though, not to be confused with the similarly titled name of Cale's fanclub, YHW *(**Y**oung master silver shield a **H**ero who will never be seen in the **W**orld again)*.

## **Backstory**

When he was younger, he reveals to have been quite rebellious at the age of six (that he remarks to be around the age where dragon puberty starts). He has travelled far and wide because he couldn't trust anything, and was searching for the meaning of life.

But upon reaching the age of seven, Dodori read a book "as if he was fated to read it." The book was about the Guardian Knight of Boulder Mountain, to which the revelation surprised both Cale and the Super Rock himself. Self-described as extremely selfish and who only cared for himself, he grew to approve of the Super Rock's noble mindset of sacrificing himself. The story of such a tale of sacrifice struck the young Dodori so strongly it made him choose to trust in the world again.

However, the legend of the Guardian Knight of Boulder Mountain was about a hero who lived in the Ancient Times. Therefore, in his search of finding another hero that would be able to make his heart beat as quickly as it does when he merely thinks of the Super Rock's story, he ended up hearing about a certain "Young master Silver Shield" though at the beginning he admits having not been interested, since Cale didn't seem to be as interesting as Dodori's first hero, the Guardian of Boulder Mountain. It was only when he learnt that Cale used the power of the Super Rock boulder during the fight at the Gorge of Death (note that Dodori doesn't know that Cale's ancient power is that of his hero's) that Dodori truly became invested and deemed Cale as a second generation, which prompted him to finally set out to meet him.

* As for why, Dodori explains in *Chapter 629 – Not a chaotic field (1)* :

*“That is why I deemed you as a second generation hero and came to meet you! Do you know why?”*

*The Dragon’s purple eyes that had seemed extremely light sank very deep. They became so deep that it reminded Cale of the deep ocean. The eyes looked toward Cale full of numerous emotions.*

*“Our noble hero, the Guardian Knight of Boulder Mountain, did not have a good ending. He lost all of his friends before dying a terrible death.”*

*The Super Rock was silent.*

*“His sacrificial mindset was amazing, but there is no need to really sacrifice yourself like that. That is how I feel, although that might be because I am a self-centered Dragon.”*

*A majestic, heavy, and mysterious voice filled the bedroom. Dodori continued to speak to Cale.*

*“Your history is currently in progress. Nobody knows how it will end.”*

*A gentle smile appeared on Dodori’s face.*

*“I like happy endings.”*

*Dodori, who had started with the records of the Guardian Knight of Boulder Mountain and had looked into the histories of many other heroes as well, realized that not many of them had happy endings. The world might have ended up with a happy ending, but the hero themselves rarely ended with happy endings. That was why the pink Dragon had come to Cale.*

*“I will turn you into a happy ending.”*

This revelation is what causes the Super Rock to approve of him and see him as a trustworthy dragon, since they share the same impossible goal of achieving a future in which no one would sacrifice themselves, and where people wouldn't have to miss the people that had to sacrifice themselves. Even Cale admits to himself that Dodori felt like a trustworthy kid.

## **Personality**

Dodori self-describes himself as selfish and as someone who only thinks about themselves. Upon his first meeting with Cale, he is also arrogant in a manner that is quite fitting for a young dragon—haughty, self-praising—but to Cale, Dodori gives off the impression of a chuuni neighborhood kid, especially when he considers his age that in closely in range with Lily's and the wolf children.

He has an extremely clumsy nature, which can be seen when he forgets to take off the bandana covering the lower half of his face, which he accidentally drenches in tea after being offered a cup by Choi Han, during Cale and Dodori's discussion.

He is extremely passionate about heroes, as seen by his enthusiasm when speaking about the legend on the Super Rock, as well as how he grew to admire Cale for the numerous exploits he had done throughout the two years Kim Rok Soo had taken over the body.

## **Appearance**

Dodori appears older than his actual age (14 years old) considering how Deruth Henituse only hired adults, as well as the fact that he looked around Cale's age at the time, which was 20.

He is described by Raon to have a "delinquent-like smile" and is a little taller than Rosalyn (who is 163 cm), with pink hair that is described to be like an afro and curly (remarked by Cale that reminds him of either cotton candy or a poodle) and light purple eyes that turn darker like that of a deep ocean whenever he gets deeply passionate or serious. Throughout the novel he is often referred to as "the curly-haired dragon." He is also noted to be wearing a large bow on his back and a bandana that covers the bottom half of his face.

Like many of the dragons with human forms, Dodori is extremely beautiful (although not to the extent of Eruhaben), to the point where even Cale is wowed by the sight of his face. His features—when freed from the bandana—are said to make even his curly hair look like an artistic masterpiece. He is also noted to look as androgynous as his voice.

## **Abilities**

As a dragon that has already gone through his first growth phase, Dodori has already obtained his attribute, which he reveals to be "Boulders." Since it allowed him to only create and manipulate boulders, he found it a pretty useless attribute, which was one of the reasons why he lost his way at around the age of six (before coming back to his feet after reading about the Super Rock's story, at the age of seven).

Since he thought it was too obvious for a dragon to be a mage in a hero's party (as becoming part of one was one of his fantasies), Dodori decided to pick up the bow and become an archer instead. He learnt how to use the bow from his mother.

## **Relationships**

### **His mother**

Dodori seems to be quite close with his mother (despite the threats of beating him up, or not opening the door to the farm since he stole some apples from their orchard to pay for some things when he ran from home). She was the one who taught him how to use the bow, as well.

* Chapter 629 – Not a Chaotic Field (1)

*“Of course! My mom congratulated me for overcoming my wandering nature and finding my own path! This is what my mother told me. ‘Dodori, you won’t listen to anything I say, so just live however you want.’ Hahahaha! My mom accepted me for who I am!”*

*(Cale) : ‘…It doesn’t seem like she accepted you…’*

They live together on a farm where they have orchards.

*“Bye! I’ll make sure not to die from my mom’s beating and come back alive!”*

### **Cale Henituse**

Upon hearing that Deruth was hiring people from all over the continent to come aid his son, Dodori sets out to meet the hero he admires the most after the Guardian of Boulder Mountain, Cale Henituse. At first, he wasn't so interested in the person that was the "young master silver shield" until he heard of how Cale used the power of boulders during the battlle at the Gorge of Death and dubbed him a second generation hero that he would want to aid in becoming the best hero in human history.

Dodori has read the hundreds of biographies detailing about Cale's exploits, and has analyzed many of them. His favourite, however, is a book with the ridiculously title of *[**Y**oung Master Silver Shield Cale Henituse, A Kind of **H**ero Who Will Never Be Seen in the **W**orld Again]*.

* Chapter 628 – Will never be seen in the world again (6) :

*“There are hundreds of books in numerous versions throughout the Western continent that describe your story as well. The only disappointing thing is that there is no book published by the Roan Kingdom or the Henituse Duchy. The books are mainly records of bards and storytellers who have heard your story.”*

*Dodori was empathetic but disappointed at this situation. The pink Dragon shared his disappointment out loud.*

*“I’m sure all of these books are being printed for the numerous citizens of the continent who are curious about your story despite your lack of consent. However, based on my analysis, each book has a lot of inaccurate stories! They are not accurate at all! Your exploits are not properly described!”*

*Cale suddenly had a thought. ‘Does that mean he read all of those hundreds of books? He even analyzed them? Why? Why would this Dragon analyze my story?’*

*Dodori was shaking his head as if he didn’t like it. “I hope that a proper biography approved by you will come out soon! Has anybody approached you about compiling your stories for a biography? I can find you some famous history scholars! They will create a 10 volume minimum series with a high-quality hard cover, substantial content and realistic illustrations! The first edition can be a limited edition with a video recording device that has an interview with you! There’s also the distribution route throughout the entire Eastern and Western continents! I can prepare all of that for you!”*

Dodori's claims of helping Cale gather scholars around to make a worthy and approved biography gives Cale a headache.

And despite Dodori's good intentions, Cale decided to take advantage of him–saying that the Henituse Duchy only hires adults, but for Dodori he would make an exception, so long as he brings his mother (a dragon). Cale thinks of this as a two-for-one opportunity.

### **Raon Miru**

Dodori was initially disappointed to find out that Cale already had a dragon by his side, but he is quick to adapt and asks that Raon calls him 'sunbae' and that he would consider Raon as his 'hoobae'. He considers Raon as too young to know the world, despite he himself being only fourteen years old.

Raon finds him strange, as well as fifty percent similar to "the crazy Clopeh".

* Chapter 628 – Will never be seen in the world again (6) :

*‘…What the hell, who is this crazy Dragon?’*

*Cale truly wanted to cover this nonsense spitting curly-haired Dragon’s mouth for a moment.*

*– …Human.*

*He heard Raon’s shocked voice in his mind.*

*Raon couldn’t help but be shocked.* *His human was already the greatest hero in Raon’s mind.* *There was no need to turn him into it.*

*– That pink curly-haired Dragon is weird. Do we really need to work with him?*

*‘I know, right?’*
