Dorothea Fou Roseblade

Dorotea Fō Rōzubureido (ドロテア・フォウ・ローズブレイド) 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 described as a beauty with a very cold attitude. She had many men proposing to her and went to many marriage interviews, but she turned them all away as she was searching for a man who could stand up to her. While she has a sadistic side to her, she dreamed of having a marriage where both husband and wife would compete for the right to be the master of the relationship. They should fight to establish their dominance. When Nicks did exactly that in an attempt to make her retract the arranged marriage proposal, she fell for him and turned into a young maiden in love.

She can be very possessive of Nicks as seen when she told Nicks that they would be together forever and that she would never let him go, no matter what. She said that she would find and fall in love with him all over again if they would both reincarnate and would never let anyone else have him. Dorothea also backed away from wanting to attach a collar to each other as she only wanted it as a link to her loved one. But now she thinks that their love for each other is a much stronger link.

Despite her usually cold attitude, Dorothea is actually a kind-hearted and sociable woman. She only shows this side in front of her family and Nicks, including his family as well. Even though Nicks' family is very reserved while interacting with people in a much higher social cast (as seen when they interact with Angelica), they quickly warmed up to Dorothea when she started living with them (except Nicks' sisters). She grew especially close to Luce since she started to cook with her. However, she also has a manipulative side to her which can be shown when someone treats Nicks badly. She once even threatened Jenna when she heard her disrespecting him and executed an elaborate plan behind the scenes to make her deeply regret her arrogant and lazy behaviour.

Contrary to most noble women, Dorothea, being a daughter of a family that is very proud of its lineage, was taught how to fight. She's noted to be very capable of using a gun to fight, impressing the knights who watched her displaying her skills.

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.
 * Nicks Fou Bartfort (Fiancé)

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.

Trivia
