[b][color=#4dffa6]Height:[/color][/b] 5'7"
[b][color=#4dffa6]Weight:[/color][/b] 130 pounds
[b][color=#4dffa6]Build:[/color][/b] Lean, athletic
[b][color=#4dffa6]Eyes:[/color][/b] Brown
[b][color=#4dffa6]Hair:[/color][/b] Brown
[b][color=#4dffa6]Skin Tone:[/color][/b] Pale
[b][color=#4dffa6]Tattoos/Scars/Piercings:[/color][/b] A long and thin scar on her left knee from a knife wound
[b][color=#4dffa6]Personal Style:[/color][/b] Her style is rather classy, but functional at the same time. She isn't one to go around in lab coats or scrubs, instead feeling most at home in her brown aviator coat and khakis. In general, she always has her coat constant about what she wears, forming her new uniform. It's one of the things that changed her, fighting in the first war between the Alliance and the Independents. She feels out of place when she isn't wearing a uniform.

Beyond the most apparent pieces, she loves to wear boots and generally sticks [i]way[/i] too many things in her jacket pockets. Her hair, naturally curly, is either let down or is pulled back in a ponytail, in order to be out of her eyes when she's attempting to work. She's always incredibly clean, never knowing when she'll need to work--her nails are short, her hair is never ragged, and dirt is hardly ever on her person. If she is working, however, she'll put on the scrubs, smock, or whatever is available for her to work with, in order to keep both her and the patient safe.

[b][color=#4dffa6]Personality:[/color][/b] Dorothy, having fought for the Alliance and now against it, having left her home and everything she ever knew, is without a doubt incredibly brave. Fear doesn't cripple her, as to her, the end goal is worth the risk. As long as she feels her actions are right, no amount of terror could stop her. But this is a bit of a double edged sword, as with her bravery, she's a bit impulsive. She makes up her mind almost on a whim, not being the type to stop and carefully consider all of the options. Once her mind is made up, however, she's steadfast. It takes a lot to sway her, causing her to be incredibly loyal to her causes -- for the most part. 

She's a kind person, as much as she'll roll her eyes and come up with bitting remarks. Very empathetic, she tries her best to understand each person, having an excellent bedside manner. She's a strong believer in human decency and attempts to practice that as best as she can, being the best version of herself that she can be. This causes her to, sometimes, trust people a bit too much -- and thus, she's a bit susceptible to tricks.

[b][color=#4dffa6]The Reason You Chose The Side You Did:[/color][/b] In the first war, Dorothy had sided with the Alliance mostly in order to escape her father. The academy gave her the formal medical training she needed, and she was able to leave behind her rotten life. This time, she backed the browncoats due to her principles. The crimes the Alliance committed were unforgivable. As much as she enjoyed the idea of a united galaxy, the events that occurred in Miranda went too far. It was time for her to pick up the fight again--this time, for the browncoats. She couldn't live with herself if she didn't do anything to set things right. 

[b][color=#4dffa6]History:[/color][/b] The oldest child in the family, Dorothy was born on Boros. Her father ran a bar, and as the years went on, he fell into alcoholism. Brawls became more and more common, and Dorothy ended up tending to her father and his friends on more than one occasion. She picked up crude medical skills, but fortunately, her father never physically abused her mother or her sister. The abuse was verbal, if anything. By the time she was old enough, she joined the alliance academy to become an army medic. 

In the first war, she fought for the Alliance. Being from Boros, a planet with a heavy Alliance presence and ties, it was logical and expected for Dorothy. Serving as an army medic, she saw a lot of injuries and death, and on occasion, got into combat herself. She ended the war with the rank of Captain, and settled down in Londinium, working in a military hospital as a doctor. It was comforting to be around others who had been in the war, making sleep a little easier after what she'd seen. While she missed her family dearly, she didn't return to Boros. Instead, she got in touch with her sister and her mother, avoiding all contact with her father as possible. She found stability in her life. 

Her life was plunged back into chaos when the signal was sent out. The actions the Alliance took appalled her, and Dorothy resigned from her position at the hospital. Packing up her things, she set out to find a way to serve in the fight for justice. On her way out, she stole as many supplies as she could from the Alliance, hoping to use them for better purposes. The Alliance couldn't be allowed to stay in power, not after what they did. Dorothy met up with her sister, Daphne, and together, they planned to join a browncoat aligned ship. They'd fight this war together.
