Dorothy Spinner

"*I'm not sure this is what I want anymore. Immortimas is just another prison. It's another lie. And I'm done lying to myself. I'm 100 years old, for God's sake, and I'm still hiding. I have never lived out in the real world. I can't lock myself away anymore. I need to go.*"
—Dorothy Spinner[src]
**Dorothy Spinner** is the daughter of the late Niles Caulder and the late Slava, a metahuman with the strange ability to bring to life the monsters of her thoughts. Hiding in Danny the Street for many years, Dorothy was rescued by Niles and his friends from the Brotherhood of Dangerous Animals, moving in with the team at the Doom Manor, and was controlled by her father not to release the Candlemaker, the most dangerous being in Dorothy's mind.

During her new life at the manor, Dorothy tried to befriend Cliff Steele and Crazy Jane, as well as trying to control her imaginary friends, however, when Candlemaker killed Baby Doll, Dorothy fled earth, traveling to the moon, forming a bond with Cliff, returning to the planet with her father, spending one last day together.

When Candlemaker turned the team into wax, Dorothy confronted Candlemaker, befriending her, and saving her friends, before discovering that Niles had died. After burying her father, Dorothy and Larry Trainor revived the team before leaving with the Dead Boy Detectives.

## Biography

### Early Life

After scientist Niles Caulder returned to society, the Yukon native, Slava, fathered a daughter, Dorothy Spinner, who inherited her mother's offspring like Manny, forming a close friendship with him and creating her own imaginary friends, before being left alone when Slava died. Shortly after Dorothy's birth, Niles learned of her existence, so he began an arduous search with the Bureau of Normalcy to find her.

In London, England during the year 1927, amongst a travelling circus, Dorothy is being kept in a cage and refer to as the "Ape Faced Girl" who was captured in the Yukon and is now forced to perform as part of a freak show by conjuring creatures. However, things go a bit awry when she gets distracted by someone in the audience and lashes out. An ominous voice tells her that he can help if she makes a wish. A candle then appears in her hand, so she proceeds to make a wish, blows it out and chaos ensues. When it's over, everyone is dead except for her, her creature, and Niles Caulder.

At this London Carnival in 1927, Niles finds himself in the audience to confirm that the “Monkey-faced girl” attraction was his daughter. What he also bares witness to in the process is how The Candlemaker, one of Dorothy's most powerful imaginary friends killed everyone else at the carnival that night. A couple of years later, Niles sends Dorothy to hide inside Danny, who was “a smart alley” at the time, and set out on his journey to gain immortality. All so that he would always be around to protect his daughter from others and from herself. His investigation eventually led him to Paraguay, where he stole a talisman in the form of a rabbit’s leg that provided him with immortality. Unfortunately, this was not a permanent solution, so he began to test out his unethical experiments of immortality on what is now the team.

In London during 1978, Niles visits her who is still residing with Danny, but in a room below the actual street, the young girl doesn't want him to leave. Ignoring how lonely she seems, Niles instead cautions her not to ever make a wish. When Niles inevitably leaves, Danny tries to remind him that the girl needs her father and that she can't stay forever. When Ernest Franklin tried to look for Niles, Dorothy surprised him with a doll of his father, flattering his suit and summoning Manny to attack him, although Danny protected Ernest.

### Revelation of existence to the team

While playing, Dorothy was caught next to Danny in a painting and was surprised by the Brotherhood of Dangerous Animals, who wanted to capture her, but she accidentally grew Ezekiel and Admiral Whiskers. While Niles is sitting in front of the fireplace looking at a painting of Danny. Niles explains that Nobody has kidnapped Danny. He then says that he needs their help to rescue Danny, and tells them that a long time ago he had a daughter. Niles is afraid that she's a danger to all of them, and wanted to live forever to protect her and protect others. That's why he created them to study and extend his life by any means possible. Niles says that they were initially experiments, and says that Danny agreed to be his daughter's caretaker. Somehow Nobody found out about her and has trapped them both inside the painting. Later, while on the lawn of Doom Manor, Niles introduces his daughter Dorothy to the others. Larry is full-sized and suggests that they deal with the issue at hand first. He takes them inside since she, along with the others are miniature size.

### Present Day

#### A New Family

A much happier Dorothy wakes up and talks to her imaginary friends about how they're going to have a good day and instructs them to say hello to their new friends. Unfortunately for Dorothy, Niles, Cliff, Vic, Jane, and Rita, they are still tiny and are living on the racetrack that Cliff setup. All while a full-size Larry tends to their needs and tries to find a way to return them to their normal size. Despite multiple attempts to return them to their normal size, this latest venture into fixing their size also fails.

Later, Dorothy and Jane bond a bit over both of them having "friends" inside their heads. Niles interrupts as he wants the serum she's been using so he can use it for Dorothy. Jane refuses and says she's used it all. Eventually, Dorothy tries to spend time with Cliff as well who has been "feeding" the rats they end up taking one of the cars around the little race track. But this proves to be too traumatic for Cliff, when it triggers flashbacks to his accident and causes him to freak out. Which inadvertently causes Darling, one of Dorothy's "friends" to come out. Cliff loses it and a heartbroken Dorothy runs off in the process. Niles eventually shows up to tell the gang that Dorothy is missing, and they realize she's gone to feed the rats, which is a problem since Cliff's been killing them. Cliff and Jane go find Dorothy who has discovered that one of the rats had babies, but when the mommy rat destroys a weak baby, Dorothy freaks out. The ominous voice tries to get Dorothy to make a wish, but Niles is able to shock Dorothy out of it.

Suddenly, everyone ends up their normal sizes, since as it turns out, Niles ended up giving up the necklace keeping him alive to Willoughby to make that happen. After she's tucked in for the night, the dark voice tells Dorothy that her father is dying and tries to convince her to make a wish. She refuses to do so, but hearing that leaves her rattled.

In trying to reconnect with her Dad, Niles eats a breakfast that Dorothy made but Cliff purposely interrupts it as he is still very angry with Niles. Niles, for his part chooses to tell him that he needs to work on himself. He and Jane decided to leave and head on a road trip to Florida to see Cliff's daughter, Clara. Jane passes out on the way and ends up in The Underground for an intervention. They want her to stop taking care of Dorothy. Unfortunately, while getting acclimated to Doom Manor, accidentally breaks Danny the Brick playing hide and seek and Niles consoles her.

Danny remains broken in two after Dorothy accidentally broke them when she was home alone. Someone rings the doorbell and it's the Dannyzens along with Flex Mentallo, who says that in his estimation, Danny is in very bad shape, but Mora Lee Karrupt realizes that the way to help Danny is to throw a party to power them up with joy, love, laughter, and music. Flex is incredibly kind to Dorothy and uses his powers to have her hang the disco ball instead. Later, Dorothy tells Rita she lived in the doll factory under Danny and never got to participate in the parties. As a result, Rita gives her a little bit of a makeover to which Niles disapproves.

When the party doesn't fix Danny, Mora Lee decides it's time to spice things up, with Dorothy's help. She begins to sing "Pure Imagination" from the Willy Wonka film, and that seems to work. Danny sends a message of thanks to Dorothy for the song and the party kicks off in full now that they're somewhat back. Unfortunately for Dorothy, time passes and it soon is bedtime for her, and she is forced to leave the party. Now in her room, the sinister voice of the Candlemaker tries to convince Dorothy to go back to the party. Dorothy eventually listens and ends up sneaking a drink and while Danny chastises her, they agree to give her ten more minutes to enjoy the party.

Meanwhile, Candlemaker tries his hardest to convince Dorothy that Danny isn't really her friend but her prison and so she asks Danny. Danny tells her the truth, which unintentionally gives Candlemaker a foothold with the forever young girl. Dorothy takes an ice pick while Candlemaker encourages her to kill Danny. She tells Danny she can't go back, and they admit they can't either. Niles talks with Danny, who refuses to hold Dorothy prisoner any longer. Eventually, Rita and Dorothy talk and Rita ends up repeating to Dorothy what her mother told her when she was younger, which was to focus on her other talents. Thus, Dorothy decides she doesn't want to grow up and goes to make a wish, but Candlemaker rejects her, too.

#### Friendship with Baby Doll

In trying to placate Dorothy, Niles instead introduces Baby Doll to Dorothy and the two of them become fast friends and proceed to amicably play together for a while. This prompts Dorothy to introduce Baby Doll to one of her imaginary friends who she calls Manny. Though she instructed Baby Doll to be polite, Baby Doll instead squeezed his snout and this angers Dorothy. Back in the Underground, Hammerhead and Jane debate on Baby Doll being up top with Hammerhead concerned about what happens when Chief has to choose between Baby Doll and Dorothy. Simultaneously, Dorothy hides from Baby Doll. While Jane goes to make sandwiches and Dorothy shows up which prompts Baby Doll to return.

Dorothy rejects Baby Doll who tells her that Chief is evil. Dorothy then engages Baby Doll in a game of hide and seek, but when Dorothy hides in the furnace and jumps out to scare her and be mean, Baby Doll sends her back into the furnace and turns on the fire. Dorothy lets loose her wendigo, Baby Doll freaks out and kills the wendigo which prompts Candlemaker to get Dorothy to make a wish. Candlemaker is then set loose in the Underground where he kills Baby Doll and Flaming Katy.

### Growing

Dorothy is still in the basement of Doom Manor, where she sits crying and terrified with an unconscious Jane who lies on the floor, her face covered in wax. Cliff goes into the basement and finds Jane, but not Baby Doll. He alerts the Chief and he realizes that Dorothy is responsible for Jane's situation. Eventually, the Chief discovers a note from Dorothy admitting that the Candlemaker hurt Jane and that she's running away by going into the spaceship belonging to The Pioneers of the Uncharted.

After some time, Cliff and Chief arrive at where Dorothy is currently located and Chief admits that everything is his fault, revealing that because he isolated her she created her imaginary friends. With the Candlemaker in part, being powerful enough that if she wished it so, could cleave the earth in two. He subsequently tasks Cliff with getting Dorothy back. Cliff finds Dorothy making a grave and he sits with her. Dorothy reveals that she's making a grave for Manny, her wendigo. Her mother gave him to her, and he was the last thing she had left of her mother. Cliff tells her about his daughter and tells her that she's not alone in her pain. They bond and head back to the spaceship together.

Niles summons Willoughby and asks him to deal with Dorothy, but admits that he wants one more day with his daughter before whatever it is he will do happens.

While Niles and Dorothy stop at a gas station, he gets a call on a peanut butter cup from Willoughby who says that there are whisperings that the end of the world is coming if Dorothy matures any further. However, while Dorothy is in the convenience store, she discovers she's having her first period. At the convenience store, the clerk comes to help Dorothy and explains that getting her period is part of growing up, but she also tells her not to tell her dad since some dads can't handle their daughters growing up. Later, Niles takes Dorothy to a fair. She wins a blue stuffed bear for Jane, but she ends up having a vision of an indigenous woman who appears to be her mother bringing her a pair of red boots, telling her that it's time. She sees the woman repeatedly as she and Niles go about their day. Unaware of this, Niles sends her into a funhouse alone where the woman takes her to the Yukon and tells her she is ready. In addition, the Candlemaker tells her that it is time to let him out. Scared, Dorothy flees back into the funhouse. At the fair, the day begins to run out and Willoughby shows up. However, before they can get very far, they discover that things are melting, which can only mean that Dorothy has grown up and that the Candlemaker is coming. As a result, they have missed their chance to stop things from going full on apocalyptic.

### Fight against Candlemaker

Herschel shows up and tells them that Dorothy can't hold back the Candlemaker anymore and that Armageddon is coming if she can't. At the fair, the Candlemaker has been wreaks havoc and the team locates Willoughby Kipling while Dorothy tries to hide from Candlemaker in the arcade. Still at the fair, Niles calls out to Dorothy and she comes to him and sees everyone covered in wax. Before Dorothy can get to Niles, though, her mother Slava appears and stops her. She tells Dorothy that no one can protect her and only she can deal with the Candlemaker. She gives her the choice to be a little girl or be a woman and face the Candlemaker herself. Dorothy chooses to grow up and face the Candlemaker. She conjures her own weapon and the Candlemaker takes her to meet her fate.

Transported to a forest by Candlemaker, Dorothy returned to her old circus cage, before seeing Candlemaker approaching her, so Dorothy shot an arrow at her imaginary friend to kill him, but Dorothy stopped the attack, transporting them both to Moon. Dorothy confronted Candlemaker about wanting to fight because of her ancestors' prophecy, remembering how Candlemaker defended her in the past and the late Manny, asking her to go back to being her friend like before and they would never fight again, but if she refused, he he would be held captive with her forever on the moon, an offer that Candlemaker accepted, reconciling with Dorothy.

As part of the agreement, Dorothy forced Candlemaker to return his friends to normal at the fair, returning on top of her imaginary friend, surprising Rita Farr, Larry Trainor and Vic Stone. Dorothy recalled Candlemaker to her mind after the conflict, discovering with horror how Niles had died of old age, causing Dorothy to burst into tears over her father's death, taking his corpse to the manor so that Jane could say goodbye because she was in a coma.

### Moving Forward

#### Niles's Death

A week later, Dorothy continued to care for Jane while waiting for her to wake up and placing ice on Niles to keep his corpse cold. Dorothy continued to care for her late father, denying Rita's suggestion that she bury him until Jane could say goodbye, forming a bond with Larry, telling him about her experiences with her father, being comforted by her friend, who suggested she move forward despite the Niles' death, asking him not to punish himself with his memories like he used to do, advice that Dorothy accepted and shared a hug with Larry.

Later, Dorothy cries in front of Jane, apologizing for the death of Baby Doll and Flaming Katy, feeling that it was her fault, however, Jane suddenly woke up, being under the control of the evil personality, Daddy, who threatened at Dorothy, throwing her against a wall while she denied conjuring Candlemaker for Jane's well-being. Dorothy quickly called the rest of the manor's inhabitants to save Jane, preventing her from committing suicide, and they shared a group hug like a family, before Jane broke free from the others.

After saving Jane, Dorothy contacted Danny in his ambulance form, allowing Jane to say goodbye to Niles. Dorothy said goodbye to Jane to move on, boarding Danny to leave on a new adventure with her father, leaving the manor and heading to Yukon to bury Niles' body next to Slava, holding a funeral for her fallen parents, and without realizing account, Kipling dug up Niles' corpse to take his head.

## Powers and abilities

### Powers

* **Metahuman physiology**: Through her mother, Dorothy is a meta-human, inheriting various unique powers.
	+ **Longevity**: Dorothy hasn't aged since the 1910's, retaining the physical appearance of a child despite being over a century old. Given her mother's own immense life-span, its highly likely that Dorothy herself also possesses similar longevity.
	+ **Imagination Manifestation**: Dorothy has the ability to warp reality and bring to life the monsters of her thoughts.
		- **Imaginary Friends**: Dorothy's reality warping powers allow her to conjure her Imaginary Friends into the real-world. Although they mainly appear in order to act as Dorothy's playmates, they can also appear in order to defend her when she feels strong emotions and even influence her mind.
			* **Darling Come Home**: A motherly-like Imaginary Friend that appears to take the form of a adult woman with golden 70's hairstyle and a mirror for a face with light bulbs for eyes.
			* **Herschel**: A gigantic spider Imaginary Friend that possesses the ability to phase through walls.
			* **Candlemaker**: A gigantic wooden-flame demon that appears whenever Dorothy grants or makes a wish. As seen during her fight against Baby Doll, Dorothy primarily uniquely summons Candlemaker by conjuring a candle and blowing its fire out to "make a wish". The Candlemaker seems to manipulatively whisper to Dorothy in order to influence her into summoning him.

### Former powers

## Weaknesses

* **Temper**: When Dorothy is mad she loses control of her powers to the point they can influence her to do things like make a wish out of anger.
* **Panic Attacks:** As seen during the incident with the mother rat and her runt, when Dorothy sees or experiences something particularly upsetting that makes her feel scared, panicked, confused and frightened, she would immediately begun losing control of her powers and unconsciously summon her imaginary friends to her side in order to "defend" herself and if she does not regain her composure, they soon simply begin to rampage uncontrollably until Dorothy makes them go away.

## Trivia

* Since Dorothy never had a normal childhood, her sense of right and wrong is a bit off; as Danny was the only contact she had for over a century.
* After the death of her father, Dorothy resumed being under Danny's care; now living in an ambulance rather than under a street.
* Due to her lack of advanced education, Dorothy doesn't understand how oxygen and outer space works. She resigned to ''live'' on the moon to keep everyone safe from Candlemaker, completely unaware that she would run out of air within a short amount of time. Though it's possible Candlemaker was influencing her to make this choice so she would be forced to rely on him,
