+ history
Born in the Imperial capital of Enbarr, Dorothea was the daughter of a maid and a nobleman. When she didn't produce a Crest, the nobleman cast her and her mother out of the house to be penniless on the streets. When her mother took ill and died some time later, Dorothea was left alone to survive the streets of the capital. At the age of 10, she was heard singing by the premier diva of the Mittelfrank Opera Company, who was so enamored with her voice that she recruited Dorothea to the opera. In her eight years there, she properly honed her voice and her acting skills, eventually becoming a diva herself.
But for all of the glitz and glamour of such a life, being so adored and famous had its cost: Dorothea still had to learn to defend herself from people who would try to harm her or worse. And for every suitor's proposal she received, she had to contend with the knowledge that the same people who spat on and kicked her as an orphaned child were the same who would offer her riches and pretty gifts now that she had blossomed into a star. Still, she endured, because her charm and looks would possibly snag her a rich husband who could see her secure long past the point that her beauty and voice would keep. After all, she didn't want to end up back on the streets in her old age, alone again.
When her idol (Manuela, who found her on the streets) departed the company in search of broadening her own skills, Dorothea decided to join her. Using her connections and charm, she secured the financial backing to go to the Officer's Academy; she studied hard and passed the exams on her own merit. If nothing else, the Academy would help her broaden her skills and see her finding deeper connections; it didn't hurt that the Academy was attended by mostly nobles, and she could still try her luck at finding a suitable husband (or wife) to take care of her.
Within the year, her House's leader - Edelgard von Hresvelg - declared war on the Church of Seiros. Dorothea followed her and their Professor into conflict, eventually becoming one of Edelgard's generals throughout the five year war.

OOCโฌ Pacing
I try to tag back 1x daily for all game tags but might be a little slower for PSLs/memes. If you happen to be online, I will try to boomerang!
โฌ Back-Tagging
Yes! Also fine with doing 2 threads at once. Beyond that, I'd like to wrap current threads before moving on. I may ask to pause at 1 thread if it is particularly juicy or character-changing.
โฌ Thread-Hopping
In text threads, yes! In others, ask, but possibly yes.
โฌ Comments in the Subject Line
Absolutely, I love those.
โฌ Fourth Wall Breakage
No thanks
โฌ Avoid These Topics
Gratuitous mention of eye or teeth gore. Violence against kids (if discussing someone's history, that's fine).
โฌ Anything Else?
If you're not sure, PM me!
IC
โฌ Hugging
Yep!
โฌ Kissing
Platonic or flirty in nature? Sure. Romantic? A bit of Hard Mode with all of her hang ups but you can try!
โฌ Flirting
Absolutely! She will flirt back, likely.
โฌ Fighting
Yep!
โฌ Injuring
Yep! Let's just talk details.
โฌ Killing
Probably, but let's talk about it.
โฌ Telepathy
You can but there may be IC consequences. Dorothea will not like people knowing her secrets.
โฌ Magic
You can use magic on her. She's a mage too!
โฌ Triggers
NOBILITY, specifically pompous, stuck up, selfish people who don't understand what it means to struggle. Men and women who try to take advantage.
โฌ Anything Else?
Will update if needed!
+ preferences
YESโ FOR GEN THREADS: Any character types, any ages.
โ FOR SHIPPING/SPICY THREADS: 20+ OTA for any gender. No aged-up characters (so if you play a character who is 15-16 and you "age them up" for a game, I wouldn't be comfortable with that).
โ FOR CANONMATES: Anyone is welcome, gen, shippy, or otherwise. I love Dorothea with almost anyone (Hanneman gen only, thanks). I really enjoy her A supports with a preference for Ferdinand, Hubert, Edelgard, Petra, Yuri, Manuela, and Sylvain, but would love to play her off of Ingrid, Bernadetta, Linhardt, Caspar. Would looooove to explore a Hilda, Marianne, or Leonie thread.
โ NOTE FOR CANON: I play Dorothea unromanced by Byleth and uncommitted even with A ranks so no one feels compelled to play out shipping.
โ If you want to play something and are not sure if it'd work, PM me!
NO
โ No aged up characters for shipping.
โ No explicit descriptions of childhood abuse or trauma (unless part of character's backstory, and then carefully).
โ No explicit mentions of eye gore or teeth gore.
