Role: Dorothy Delight
Nickname(s): Dee
Age: Twenty
Occupation: Dorothy is an entertainer at the Cotton Club, she dances at the club and quite often sings.
Personality
Dedicated: A trained ballet dancer, Dee knows the meaning of dedication and she is truly dedicated in everything that she does especially when it comes to her career and charitable work. Focused and reliable, you can count on Dee to give a hundred percent in everything that she does and if she feels like she can’t then she simply won’t do it, as she says “Dorothy Delight does not do things by half’s.” In her personal life, she isn’t as dedicated, she loves her family very much but they do take back seat to her career, whether this is intentional or not.
Passionate: Dorothy is an extremely passionate woman, if she believes in something she will give it her all, she never gives up, which can be a good trait but also a bad one. When in love, she loves like there is no tomorrow but the passion over her career comes above the passion of her heart, which has been the result of much heartache and so of recent, she has focused more on her career and taken less interest in love, she’s beginning to doubt she’ll ever find the one. That seems to be the family curse.
Humorous: There is nothing Dee loves more than to laugh and make people laugh, she has always prized herself on her comedic timing and impressions, which she just loves to do for anyone who is willing to listen. They say a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, but the way into a woman’s heart is through laughter.
Strong-willed and Opinionated: Dee is not one who is easily pushed around at work, she is respected and well liked, if she doesn’t like something then she will let you know, there are no false pretences with her. Like most members of her family, Dorothy is very highly opinionated and will voice these opinions whether you want to hear them or not.
Stubborn: Everyone has the tendency to be stubborn, right? Well Dee has the tendency to take this to a whole other level, she hates to be proved wrong and would fight black was white until her dying breath. This also makes her very unforgiving, if you wrong her or her family, you would have to bring her heaven to make her forgive you and even then she wouldn’t let you forget it.
Loving and Caring: One of her best qualities is her generous and loving heart, especially to those less fortunate. She is a big advocator for equal rights and strongly apposes the Jim Crow Laws in place, she believes everyone is equal and you should not be judged by the colour of your skin. Along with this Lily is a big supporter of animal rights, she refuses to wear fur, is a vegetarian and does not wear make up that has been tested on animals. She donates regularly to various charities in New York and LA.
