Dorothea was an athletic young woman standing at about 5'7. She had sandy blonde hair which she typically kept in a braided up-do. She maintained a light tan and freckles from frequently spending time outside while following the subjects of her newspaper reports. Her eyes were a light hazel green, and she had two small scars criss-crossing on her forehead from the attack of the manor in her youth.

Dorothea would live a normal life in her early childhood with her babysitter Basil Simon. He would frequently read to her and encourage her to become skilled at reading and writing independently of him. The two would often play games roleplaying as detectives.
During the assault on the manor, Achille would attempt to protect her as best he could despite his young age. Despite his best efforts, Dorothea would sustain an injury to her head that would result in scarring and long-term struggles with memory loss and retention. During her time in orphanages, she would never receive the letters intended for her from Basil, now under the name Achille.
Dorothea would eventually receive a letter to visit the estate addressed to Isaac Blake. Intrigued by someone clearly knowing about her past, Dorothea would accept the invitation, intending to use it as inspiration for a memoir of sorts.

Dorothea's hobbies include swimming, biking, bicycling, and solitaire.
She frequently fed birds which would nest on the sill of her apartment's windows.
Dorothea is knowledgeable of and enjoy studying floriography.
She has a tendency to eavesdrop on everyone.
