Dahlia, AKA Dollie

Return to Ultra Arc characters || Page last updated: July 25th, 2024

Dollie is… an eccentric individual, and not necessarily in a good way.
Dollie was born with high expectations of them – their parents had migrated a long distance to Ultra Station and started a successful business they wanted Dollie to continue. But Dollie was stubborn and defiant – the lack of any ‘real consequences’ for their intentional malice gave them no reason to stop.

At least, until their parents had enough and forced them to move out on their own – as a ‘test’.
After floundering for a bit, Dollie found themselves joining a pair of roommates after a party, working at an internet cafe in the Underdeck. It wasn’t ideal, but at least they had an ultranet connection and video games again.

But then, Dollie’s boss was killed in an ‘altercation’, and apparently, they’d left the cafe’s ownership to them. Now, Dollie had eyes on them – the eyes of Hoshikuma-douji, an ‘elite hacker’ who favored working in the cafe.
Suddenly, Dollie’s pointless life had meaning – they needed to prove their mettle… if for nobody but their own ego.

They were already a ‘pro’ gamer, so how hard could becoming a hacker be? And with their roommate Remi’s mysterious pseudo-divine deadbeat parents as a constant topic, they had just the perfect first target for a claim to fame.
It’d be a piece of cake! …Right?


Appearance

Dollie is 5’07” (170cm), with a thin-average build. They have messy, bright pink hair, with various chunks dyed pastel purple and blue. They have small, folded over and pierced ears matching their hair color, and a unicorn-type horn on their forehead.
They have dark purple colored wings on their back, though they often droop considerably.

Per their species, Dollie is in posession of elaborate, permanently attached ‘stocking’ that lead into their hooved feet.

Dollie is a big fan of ‘pastel goth’ type fashion and decora, and tends to dress in an accordingly flashy manner.

Dollie was designed by sans, and joined Ultra Arc on September 27th, 2023

Personality

Dollie is egotistical, and generally cares little about things unless they’d result in some type of personal gain. They have an incredibly strong sense of pride, and are quick to become aggressively defensive when their ego is challenged. Though, its more like them to be passive aggressive when upset with someone, using manipulation and words that particularly sting to get what they want.
When behind a mask of online anonymity, they can be particularly nasty. However, it’s much more likely that Dollie’s petty attitude is a result of immaturity than true malice.


Story

I’ll get to it… eventually.


Skills

Species abilities:

  • Universal appeal:
    • Dollie’s species seems to possess some kind of ‘appeal’ to others. For Dollie, it’s likely the reason their roommates let them off the hook time and time again.
  • Resiliency:
    • While not immortal by any means, Dollie’s species heals wounds and recovers from illness faster than most under normal circumstances.

Very cool online guy:

  • Gaming:
    • Dollie is, be it fortunately or unfortunately, an objectively skilled gamer for the PvP online games they favor. They’re most skilled with FPS-type games, while racing games are a particular weak point.
  • Trolling:
    • It could probably be considered a skill, considering how effective Dollie is at it. When Dollie wants to win an argument, they will ensure they win by any means necessary… and they’re effective at doing so through means of passive aggression and mockery.

Relationships

Remi – Roommate

Dollie and Remi argue often, and it’s completely insufferable. It’s safe to assume they won’t agree on anything. The fact that Remi seems to always beat Dollie in game matches despite having ‘no skill’ pisses Dollie off.


Sele – Roommate

Sele, like Dollie, is a master of deflecting responsibility… and happens to always use Dollie as her scapegoat. If anything though, Dollie is thankful she roped them into the apartment so they have housing.


Tuesday – Idol

Dollie’s relationship with Tuesday is parasocial at best – Dollie doesn’t even know their real name, only ‘Hoshikuma-douji’. Dollie both wants to impress them, and prove that they’re better than them.


Minor relationships

Oracle – Landlord

To Dollie, Oracle is a lazy old hag. They’re sometimes called by her to assist with technology, but their disdain for each other is mutual – so contact is avoided as much as possible.


Trivia

  • While their family background is wealthy and they can certainly afford so, Dollie prefers to stick to the ‘classic’ flip-model phone. They’re pretentious about this preference, claiming it to be ‘obviously superior’ to the more expensive touchscreen phones.
  • Dollie’s heart rate is higher than normal, probably in part to their excessive consumption of energy drinks.
  • They have a catchphrase of ‘it’s morbintime‘ whenever doing things they deem ‘risky’. Nobody knows what ‘morbin’ means, not even Dollie.
  • Despite straight up not brushing their hair ever, it’s still quite fluffy due to their choice of shampoo.
    • Which is to say, despite the allegations, Dollie DOES shower. However, that’s about the only routine self-care they do.

Meta commentary

  • Before Dollie joined the cast, their name was ‘Morbius’ – reflected in their gamertag.
  • The naming process for Dollie was probably the craziest of any character I’ve named. I originally wanted to name her ‘Flan’ as a contrast to Remi, but figured with the two’s relationship it’d be awkward. So…
    • Flan -> The pudding flan -> It looks like jello -> Horses -> Saki kurokoma from hit game touhou 17 -> Dissect the characters from her name -> Take the pronunciation of one character and find different sets of characters for it -> Dissect one of the results -> Get nori somehow -> Nori from barbie mermadia -> Her voice actress also voices a character named Dahlia -> Dahlia Hawthorne a fucked up and evil woman -> I like Dahlia. It fits maybe -> Turn it into Dollie to make it ‘cutesey’
