Movie
Description
Dorothy West is a PriPara idol and a seventh-grade student at Paprika Private Academy. She is of mixed Canadian and Japanese heritage, with her father being from Canada and her mother from Japan. As a character, she is bright, cheerful, and highly energetic, frequently expressing her excitement with the catchphrase "Tension Max!" Her personality embodies a classic idol type, though she is not without her flaws; she can be proud, somewhat immature, bossy, and occasionally sharp-tongued. While she often employs a flirtatious charm and poses to win people over, she is also capable of becoming very serious when a situation calls for it. Her bravery is notable, contrasting with her younger twin brother, Reona, who is immune to fear but contrasts her more easily startled nature in other ways.
Dorothy's primary motivation is closely tied to her career as an idol and her relationship with her twin brother. She is fiercely protective of Reona and often drags him into her plans, relying on him for emotional stability while he looks up to her in return. Early in her story, she is driven by feelings of rivalry and initial pettiness toward the group SoLaMi♡SMILE, stemming from a sense of shared grievance. However, as she forms bonds with others, especially Laala Manaka, these rougher traits soften, and she develops deep care for her friends, reacting strongly to any perceived betrayal of those bonds.
In the context of the film Aikatsu! x PriPara THE MOVIE -Deai no Kiseki!-, Dorothy is one of the many characters who appear in this crossover event. She travels on the Prism Tour train as part of the film's storyline, where her unit, Dressing Pafé, performs against the unit SoLaMi♡SMILE. When a system malfunction strands her and others in the Mascot Graveyard, she is among those who receive Prism Stones and participate in a crucial performance to help restore the collapsing Prism World.
Dorothy's key relationships are central to her identity. Her most significant bond is with her twin sister, Reona West. Together, they are the first main characters in the PriPara universe to be twins. She also forms the central idol unit Dressing Pafé with Reona and Shion Todo, a relationship that begins contentiously but evolves into a valued dynamic. Her friendship with Laala Manaka is also important, as they occasionally work together as part of the PriPara Police unit. Her preferred fashion brand is Fortune Party, which she shares with Reona, marking them as the first main characters to share a brand. This brand reflects her stylish and celebratory approach to her performances.
Throughout her development, Dorothy progresses from a somewhat selfish and stubborn idol to a more team-oriented and caring individual. She eventually achieves God Idol status alongside Reona and Shion before voluntarily relinquishing the title. Her growth is further marked by her participation in multiple Dream Idol Grand Prix events, where she consistently teams with Laala. Her notable abilities include her energetic stage presence, her skill with the Fortune Party brand of coords, and her eventual mastery of Super Cyalume Coords. She also has a unique speaking habit, frequently mixing English phrases into her Japanese dialogue.
