- Rather than putting the sharp ends in the soft bits, Dores' fighting style employs drawing charms and characters that either augment her own abilities or seal those of demons. For example, drawing the character 矛 (spear) on her hand will allow her to pierce flesh or even metals, while spelling out 巨人 (titan) on her arm will give her ridiculous physical strength in that arm. Drawing the characters 邊境 (border) on the ground will function as a ward preventing a demon from crossing the proverbial line in the sand. Placing a characters like 封印 (seal) on a demon, can lock their powers or even prevent the use of a limb. At Dores' current level, she can only keep three seals active at any given time and stronger or more mystically inclined demons may be resistant to their effects.

- Dores' body language expresses itself in contained yet fluid motions. She cannot stay still for very long, which usually gets to her legs. Her expression on the other hand, has no problem staying calm. Dores usually carries around a warm smile.
Though of strong, athletic build, Dores has a tendency to lean against objects and has a slight arc to her back and although sporting mostly lean muscle at first sight, her arms become quite scary when she flexes them.
Dores often dons herself in warm colours and her wardrobe often makes a point out of accenting her legs. Dores harbours a secret love for fancy frilly dresses and ballroom gowns and will grasp any opportunity to dress as glamorous as possible. As a knight of the academy, those opportunities are unfortunately limited. Her more casual outfits are less restrictive, allowing Dores freedom of movement. That doesn't always go for her props, such as a thick fur coat and alien-like headphones.. Fortunately, they take less than a second to dispose of.
Oh doll, I'm everyone's type.

✦ Hedonistic ✧ Cunning ✦ Playful ✧ Diva ✦
Not much of a virtuous paragon, Dores is a woman who pursues what she wants, when she wants. She takes great pleasure in her exorcisms, which should be telling volumes about her person. Violence is not the only thing she takes pleasure in. Fine dining, dance and sports, theater, intimacy, Dores has little shame indulging in her passions. Pleasure to Dores is the highest attainable good, to which ends she doesn't mind bending the rules a little. Her liberated, if selfish, vibe has been inspiring to many in these dark times... Though worrisome to others.
Dores does not see roadblocks or dead ends and has the personality to make believe this make-belief. Few would assume such an uninhibited woman possessed a keen intellect, but Dores an adept strategist. Hidden below her playful demeanor rests a calculating woman, no stranger to cold logic and difficult choices. Such is not a skill learned easily. When it comes to discussing her own person, Dores picks her subjects carefully, hinting there is place for other feelings in that package of thrill-seeking and leisure decision making.
Nonetheless, Dores presents herself with a boatload of confidence. Though she might seem arrogant, she does not look down on her peers. Dores prefers to stay on good terms and is friendly with most her allies, even if her friendship can seem a little shallow at times in light of her egocentric train of thought.

- ✦Fashion – Although her tastes may be a little unconventional, given the chance Dores will raid and pillage every shop she can find.
✧Sports – Dores' exercise routine is not limited to getting into scraps with the infernal. She is often the first to sign up for triathlons, football or climbing. Her performances are of varying success, however.
✦Dancing – Dores' expression is primarily physical, which exactly what makes this hobby such a great match. She loves to swing on someone's arms, or take her partners for a spin!
✧Challenge – Dores is quite ambitious and challenges motivate her. If you tell Dores she can't do something, she is not going to rest until she can! Or at least until she gets distracted by something else.
✦The Mediterranean kitchen – But then again, who doesn't?
- ✦Videogames – Dores doesn't understand the appeal, much less the obsession, with picking the simulation of an experience over an experience.
✧Schedules – Hardly a surprise, but for a girl who likes to act on a whim, days that are all planned out are Dores' mortal enemy.
✦Waiting – Dores does not like exercising patience. She sees action as a virtue and passiveness... Well, not so much.
✧Sour foods – Kumquats just aren't meant for certain people.
✦Hand-me-downs – Now that she no longer needs the clothes her sisters grew out of, Dores will go far and wide to make sure nothing she owns is second hand.

- ✦Think fast! – Dores reacts and processes information at Mach 3. She moves instinctively and the characters her combat style employs are burned into her muscle memory. She is also remarkably good at catching things people throw at her at random.
✧Physical fitness – Dores stays in very good shape, be it from exercise or recreation. Besides the obvious stamina benefits, staying fit also provides a nice bonus to charisma rolls.
✦Miss Sunshine – It is difficult to bring Dores down, her bright outlook on life motivates her to keep standing up and keeps others from feeling down.
✧Lionheart – It takes a lot to intimidate Dores. Naturally, bravery is a requirement for any knight, but Dores gets a thrill out of walking the tightrope.
✦Street-smart – Having spent her childhood in it, Dores knows the ins and outs of the urban jungle and it's people.
ＦＬＡＷＳ
- ✦Challenge accepted! – Dores has it difficult letting go of matters, even if they're petty. This makes her hesitant to concepts such as live and let live.
✧What's privacy? – It's just kind of hard to respect other their boundaries when you have so little of your own.
✦Tin Man – Dores' sense of self-importance often leaves her to lag a little behind when it comes to empathy. Dores also is frightfully quick in making tough choices, potentially alienating friend and foe alike.
✧Short-handed – Dores' weapon may be versatile, but it doesn't have a lot of range. She needs to get a blade's length closer to her foes than the average knight to be effective.
✦Optimism bias – A little more cynicism wouldn't hurt, especially when it comes to her own abilities.
ＦＥＡＲＳ
- ✦Growing old – Not just because her mother discovered her first gray hairs before thirty, but the idea of her body failing her is something Dores is quite uncomfortable with.
✧Mirror, mirror, on the wall – Dores is very self-conscious about her appearance. She does not handle criticism well.
✦Being forgotten – She prefers to be left in the picture.
Laughing at who you were is a sign of healthy aging.

- Dores was born as the youngest of eight to a working class family. Her father worked two jobs as a janitor and her mother was a convenience store clerk on the side. Though a loving family, they struggled to get by. There was not much time or money to go around, which taught the children responsibility from an early age. Dores would be picked up from school by older siblings, who would also be responsible for lunch packages and often dinner. In turn, she would often be delegated with smaller tasks. Fetch me my purse, go buy the eggs I forgot, tell your brother he has to come home. Dores was bossed around quite a bit.
Without a full-time parent, each child vied for every bit of affection they could get. This sibling rivalry gave birth to a strange duality, where an emotional tug o' war was part of daily routine. Within this setting, Dores adapted to the mindset that nobody was ever watching her too closely. As long as she smiled and nodded when she needed to, Dores could get away with it. Nobody would stay mad at her for long. After all, they felt responsible for caring for their endearing baby sister.
When Dores started making friends outside of her family, she learned her life was different from most of her peers. Though she had envied her older siblings and fought with them for their parents' attention, a jealousy unlike any before budded in her brains when she came to understand playmates didn't wear their sister's old shirts or do their biddings.
Dores developed a rebellious streak. She became more demanding and less compliant. Dores had been made fun of by her class-mates for having a wardrobe exclusively of hand-me-downs, and felt isolated because she couldn't afford coming along on school trips. There was a something missing in her life and she knew that nobody was going to fix it for her. Dores took it upon herself to satisfy her needs.
Dores began pickpocketing. Living in the big city, there were opportunities in abundance. Not just the money was rewarding, no, Dores also discovered herself infatuated with the thrill. Dores became more confident to match her her new clothes. She even funded herself a membership of her after school football club. More beautiful and athletic than she had ever been or felt, Dores earned the admiration of her peers.
Her glamorous new lifestyle, however, was tied to a much less glamorous career as a small time crook. This all came to an unexpected end. Thinking of a lone, confused-looking Chinese tourist as easy prey, Dores appeared in front of him wearing the mask of a helpful local. She asked if he was lost as she put on her usual act, but she found herself unpleasantly surprised when she felt a strong grip her wrist when she tried to slip into the man's pocket.
The man turned out to be an accomplished exorcist, stalking demons across continents. Worried for the girl's soul should she continue stealing, he made Dores an offer. If she gave up on pickpocketing (and his wallet), he would not file charges and offer her an job as his assistant instead.
Dores served the exorcist, she grew fascinated by him. When the exorcist picked up on Dores' curiosity, he was pleased to indulge in it. He taught her about his profession and even trained her in his unique, but strange arts of sealing calligraphy. However, a globe-trotting warrior could never be a proper teacher. Before he was once more forced to leave in his pursuit of demons, the man wrote a letter of recommendation for Dores to True Cross Academy. He told her that if she was truly interested, it could help her grow immeasurably. As such, she enrolled in the academy and would spent the future years attending as a major in the skills of the knight.
