Dorothea Fou Roseblade

Dorotea Fō Rōzubureido (ドロテア・フォウ・ローズブレイド) or is the older sister of Deirdre, She's also the fiancée of Leon's older brotherーNicks and wife in Short Story Marie Route spin-off.

Appearance
Dorothea is a beautiful young woman with blue eyes and long, silky, straight blonde hair. She has white, untanned skin and a well-endowed figure. However, her neutral expression gives off an unapproachable coldness. Unlike her sister, Dorothea does not like ornaments and prefers simple clothes designs.

Personality
Dorothea is usually clad with an icy atmosphere and is noted to be difficult to approach. When talking to strangers, Dorothea adopts an indifferent and often harsh tone in her speech, which can be viewed as unfriendly and disrespectful toward her interlocutor.

However, despite her usual dispassion, Dorothea does have a more kind-hearted and friendly side, which She reserves for her family and close associates. Once people gain her acceptance, Dorothea will be more generous and amiable to them. Even the Bartfort family, which is very reserved to people in a much higher social cast, quickly warmed up to Dorothea after she started living with them. She grows particularly close to Luce and regularly participates in cooking with her.

While she appears to be the perfect model of a high-class lady, Dorothea harbors an unsettling quirk, much like her younger sister. She is a hidden sadist and dreams of a marriage where both husband and wife compete for the right to be the master of the relationship. Because of this secret desire, Dorothea had previously rejected all marriage proposals before meeting Nick since none of the suitors could even stand up to her.

Regarding romance, Dorothea is a passionate and devoted lover, using any opportunity to be "lovey-dovey" with Nick. Furthermore, she is very possessive and protective, quick to take offense for any disrespect towards her partner. When she heard Jenna bad-mouth Nick, Dorothea calmly intimidated and later broke her spirit with an elaborate plan.

Volume 8
Shortly before Leon returned, Dorothea and her sister, Deirdre, arrived at the Bartfort Household to meet the Bartforts' eldest son, Nicks. Her father, Earl Roseblade, hoped for a marriage between Dorothea and Nicks. So, Dorothea's "hobby" could be hidden from the public and create a familial tie with Leon. At first, Dorothea was not impressed with Leon's older brother. But after Nicks, on Leon's suggestion, aggressively told her to be his pet, she became head over heels for him. After discovering the truth, however, she was heartbroken and decided to return to their household.

On their way back, the Roseblade's ship is under attack by a group of air pirates. Dorothea got incredibly stressed over the situation and coiled over. Luckily, the reinforcement from the Bartfort family, led by Nicks, came to rescue them just in time. When the fight was over, Dorothea welcomed Nicks, who landed on their ship. After the awkwardness, Dorothea and Nicks cleared up their misunderstandings; Nicks also apologized for his deception. At her home, the relieved Earl Roseblade welcomed his daughters. After an emotional moment, Dorothea requested her father for one wish.

Later, Earl Roseblade invited the Bartforts to the party as gratitude for rescuing his daughters. During the party, Dorothea had a private conversation with Nicks. She confessed her love for him and begged him to reconsider a marriage with her. Although Nicks was still reluctant, the view of vulnerable Dorothea under the moonlight profoundly fascinated him. Unable to stand such a beautiful sight, Nicks hugged and comforted Dorothea.

The next day, Dorothea showed Nicks their garden of the Roseblade Castle. They both enjoyed their time together, and Nicks began opening his heart to Dorothea. Afterward, Deirdre informed her that both families had agreed on the marriage between her and Nicks. She then bid her farewell and told Nicks she would soon meet him again.

In her subsequent visit to the Bartforts, Nick formally confessed his love and asked Dorothea's hand in marriage. Dorothea was overjoyed and promised Nicks she would always be with him for all this life and the next.

After Leon and others returned to the academy, Dorothea came to the Bartfort Household to experience the countryside before marrying into the family. She quickly became popular in the Bartforts' territory and bonded with the family members. Dorothea also proceeded to put unruly Jenna, her future sister-in-law, in her place.

Relationships
Dorothea has a very close relationship with her younger sister. She is among people Dorothea can confide in and asks for advice on a private matter. Deidre played a vital role in supporting Dorothea's romantic relationship with Nick. She acted as a medium between them, creating opportunities for them to be bound together.
 * Deirdre Fou Roseblade (Younger Sister)

Nicks is Dorothea's Fiancé. Back when they were still students, Nicks could only see Dorothea from afar as the social gulf between them was vast. As the son of a baron, he was no social match for the daughter of the prestigious Roseblade family. Nonetheless, the series of unexpected events eventually brought them together.

Due to Leon's rising power, Earl Roseblade wished to create a familial tie with the hero of the Kingdom and hide Dorothea's "hobby" from the public. He thus sent Dorothea, accompanied by Deidre, to meet with Leon's older brother in the informal marriage interview.

Initially, Dorothea was entirely unimpressed with his mundane appearance and meek attitude. She was openly disrespectful toward Nicks, expecting the marriage interview to fail. However, her demeanor changes drastically after Nicks unintentionally wins Dorothea's heart. Dorothea started acting like a maiden in love, constantly nervous in front of Nicks and unable to convey her feelings properly. Though in the end, Dorothea left with a broken heart when she learned the truth.

Fortunately, both Dorothea and Nick had an opportunity to reconcile with each other. Nicks and his family's knights came to recuse the Roseblade's ship from the pirates. During the battle, Dorothea witnessed his bold and aggressive demeanor, which he did not show previously. After the incident, Dorothea had an open-hearted conversation with Nicks, clearing up all misunderstandings.

During the Bartforts' visit to the Roseblade castle, Dorothea and Nicks quickly deepened their relationship. Nicks gradually opened his heart to Dorothea and reciprocated her love. Eventually, the couple became formally engaged with consensus from both families.

Although she has yet to marry Nicks, Dorothea behaves like she is already his wife. She is very possessive of Nicks and will be offended by anyone disrespecting him.

Jenna is the younger sister of Nicks and Dorothea's future sister-in-law. Because of the strict social hierarchy among women and the vast status difference between them, Jenna is utterly terrified of Dorothea, who is the daughter of the earl. On the other hand, Dorothea is dissatisfied with Jenna's rude attitude toward her fiancé. After shortly she started living with Nicks, Dorothea proceeded to put Jenna in her place with a plot to break her spirit.
