* Description !

Dakota Doll is an easily impressionable teenager with a german accent. Initially, they spoke Shakespearean English.They've had their past, their struggles, their secrets. Much of which they don't want to admit. It seems to be weighing them down.They hope to just spontaneously get better someday.

* Preferences !

* Mental State !

Dakota is.. better, thankfully. Better than they had been doing prior. Of course, there's a lot they have to work through.For example, all their pent-up emotions--specifically their anger. All being directed towards a certain group they recently resigned from. It doesn't make it better that only their medic had come to their birthday party.... Perhaps they just need time to get over it. Things always get better with time, right?

* Health !

⋆★ anemia due to blood loss.⋆★ malnutrition.⋆★ symptoms of a possible eating disorder.⋆★ left thigh scar, from an axe injury.⋆★ a shredded left hand, from four rifle rounds.⋆★ circular burn scars, all from different points in time, in various spots on their arms and legs. these are purposefully covered by their clothing.⋆★ strangely professional stitches on their left thigh.

* Paladin Leinsel :

“ Stubborn. „

Stubborn. Stubborn and hard headed, that's what they think of you as now.They used to idolize you. They used to want to be like you. Now, they only find resentment in their heart towards you. Luis was right.Dakota will never be satisfied. When they realize you're happy for them that they left, they'll get more upset because they wanted you to be upset.

☆

* Baronet Ursa :

“ In the right. „

In their eyes, Ursa is completely right in everything she said to the Paladins. They shared her opinions exactly.

Is it that, or do certain people easily sway Dakota's opinion?

Currently, Ursa is one of the only people in the Order that Dakota doesn't feel sick towards.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

* Baronet Mordred :

“ December 23rd. „

Mordred had met the same fate that Dakota did that day, their closest friend's weapon meeting their leg. Yet, both times, Dakota feels it was their fault.They feel it was their fault for disobeying. Their fault for even being there in the first place. They wonder,Do you blame them too?

☆☆

* Squire Solana :

“ Please don't hate me. „

Dakota didn't do enough. They didn't do enough when Arturo left the Order, nor when Arturo pulled them aside and held a gun to his chin.They were too much of a coward. Do you hold a grudge against them for that?They understand if you do.

☆☆

* Jr. Squire Leo :

“ Why didn't you let me go? „

Dakota doesn't know what to think. They don't know whether to be mad that you held onto their wrist for so long, or happy that you did.Singing that nursery rhyme to them in german brought some memories back.
You didn't do anything either. That makes you just as bad.

☆

* Squire Seraphina :

“ You're really pretty. „

Dakota hasn't seen you in a while. Admittedly, they've only interacted with you once, but it makes them wonder where you've been.They wonder why you and Adeline were so.. aggressive towards each other. Dakota could never physically harm their brother.

☆☆

* Paladin Emilian :

“ Go on, run away! Run away from your fucking wrongdoings! „

Disappointing. A fucking coward, that's what you are.They don't know how you got the position of Paladin over Ursa or even Mordred. Hell, Yosef would be a better Paladin than you are.You are no leader. You are no father. You are a coward who ran away when called out.

x

* Page Drifter :

“ Sorry. „

You might not be able to teach them after all. It's fine, nothing lasts forever, huh?Unfortunately, they probably don't need you anymore. How bittersweet. They didn't even realize you were gone, Mr. Drifter!They found someone else who fits the role so, so much better.

☆☆☆

* Knight Tomkin :

“ Of course I like you! „

Despite forgetting who Tomkin was for a little bit, they consider him a nice friend! Especially after bullying Drifter with him.They wish you came to the party, after all, they still consider you one of their friends.

☆☆☆

* Page Maximillian :

“ Hope your finger is okay. „

Dakota hasn't seen you in a bit, and wonders how you've been doing. They still feel super guilty about breaking your finger.One of the only people in the Order they don't hate. Wish you came to their party, though.

☆☆☆

* Hazel Colyer :

“ I'll make a safe space, „

Ever since the coronation, Hazel has been staying with Dakota.They're glad they can provide a home for her, they're glad that they can return the kindness she gave them to her.They won't let you leave them too.

☆☆☆☆☆☆

* Rudy The Werewolf :

“ For both of you. „

Rudy has been staying with Dakota since the events of the coronation.Dakota hopes to take good care of him, even with the limitations of their new home.Just stay with them, and it'll all be okay.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

* Rembrant The Grand :

“ Eugh ... „

Dakota sincerely dislikes Rembrant.They don't really view him as the de facto leader of the Kingdom. Honestly, they struggle to believe he's a real person with his behaviours. They'll stay courteous to him, though. At least-- they'll try.

☆

* Don The Mage :

“ Got what he deserved. „

Watching Don die, Dakota felt nothing. They just felt numb. Not any hatred, not any relief, just nothing. No remorse.After all, he deserved it. The consequences and karma of his own actions led to his death. Why would they feel any bad for that?

x

* Terry :

“ Child of Filth. „

Their stomach twists and turns being near the Quantum Labs.Dakota sort of wishes that you had just killed them that day. That help never came and they bled out there.Still, they can't help but feel pitiful for you. Sympathetic. Despite everything, they want to help you.You two aren't so different.

xxx

* Silversix :

“ Stay gone. „

Dakota sort of wishes Slamstick hadn't appeared that day, when you came up to their tent.That's sort of fucked to wish, isn't it? Their eye would've been forced out of its socket.Would it have hurt much? They hope it would. Maybe they'd look less like their dad-- no, they wouldn't.They'd look more like him, wouldn't they?

x

* Elodie Duboise :

“ I'll use your goggles next time! „

Dakota had really enjoyed going on looting runs with you. They've been wanting to go on another but.. where have you been?

☆

─────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───────

* Dante Rossi :

“ I hope you're alright! „

Dakota hasn't seen Dante in a while. They're kind of sad about it, considering how nice he was as soon as he met them.They don't know that he's met his end. Who knows if they'll ever learn, as only one person holds that info.

x

* Chloe Sandmoaf :

“ I'm sorry. „

Dakota will probably never learn what happened to Chloe. I doubt anyone from the Order will inform them. Typical.

x

─────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───────

* Birdie Mauve :

“ Can I buy another pack? „

Dakota met Birdie when they were younger, before they dyed their hair, in Bargetown. They've been buying sugar cookies from her for a while, and they're well acquaintanced.Birdie helped Dakota dye their hair blue!

☆☆☆

* Former Queen of Undercrab :

“ If the day comes that we're reborn again, „

Dakota is hurt for you.
Pain resides in them for how they had wronged you, not even knowing the truth would change their mind -- for they would always side with you.Dakota never fit in with anyone. They were alone, had no one to relate to.Then, that faithful day where they happened to tag along on your rescue mission.
They happened to meet your brother, and they got to meet so many new friends through him and you.
Dakota will never regret meeting you.You and Dakota are so similar, it's almost eerie. They almost view you as a younger version of themself, and they have to live with the fact that there will never truly be a happy ending for them, for you.Please, Catherine. Don't abandon them ever in this lifetime.

❊

* Former Knight of Undercrab :

“ Then I hope, in my next life ... „

Dakota is angry for you. They hadn't understood your disdain for the Order until your exile. All you had done for them, thrown away from a crime you couldn't have committed.Dakota never thought someone would care about them again after their mother died.But now, everyday they think
They’re glad they finally have friends,
They’re glad that they have people looking out for them,
They’re glad there’s people who would willingly spend money on them,
They’re glad that you’re their friend.You were their first friend, Luis. No matter what happens, even if you hate them again, even if you try to kill them again, even if you abandon them too,
they’ll forever be grateful they met you.
