(Japanese: ドロシー Dorothy) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. She first appears in Chapter 5.

Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade
Role
Dorothy is first seen in a small Lycian town, talking to Father Jodel about their mission. Jodel leaves shortly thereafter, and Dorothy runs off to look for Saul, who had disappeared. Dorothy finds him soon, and to her displeasure, the priest is trying to flirt with a village girl. After the girl leaves, Dorothy gives him the church's report, and then follows Saul, to see if they should join the Lycian Army. After Princess Guinivere's intentions are confirmed, Dorothy—as Saul's bodyguard—joins the army and stays there for the rest of the story.
Once Bern is defeated and the war is over, Dorothy returns to her hometown and carries on with her normal life.

Personality and character
Dorothy is a shy and not very confident girl. She is fully aware of her limitations, but tries to make the best with what she has. Most of her support conversations have her being encouraged by the other person to be less shy,[1] or to trust more on her own fighting skills.[2] Her responses to those words of encouragement mark her as a rather positive and grateful person.
She shows a more outspoken side in her conversations with Saul, whose actions tend to upset her. Dorothy tries her best to keep him in line, as she fears that he is ruining the image of the Church; however, if Saul's excuses turn a bit more personal, Dorothy does not take it well and loses her calm altogether.[3]
Dorothy is a follower of Saint Elimine, and in her supports with Jodel, it is revealed that she in interested in healing magic; her inability to wield staves make her question her worth and faith, needing the help and guide of the elderly bishop to overcome her doubts.[4]
