Description
Dorothy is a character from the 1983 anime series Akū Daisakusen Srungle. She shares her voice actor with the character of Professor, but as a distinct figure within the narrative, Dorothy serves as a recurring presence who often finds herself in situations of peril that require the intervention of the main protagonists.
Dorothy is portrayed as a capable and resourceful individual who is not merely a passive victim, despite often being targeted by the series' antagonists. In one notable instance, she is shown to be out shopping when she becomes the target of a kidnapping plot by the crime syndicate Crime. She is captured by a sniper who hits her with a tranquilizer dart. Upon waking in a strange location, Dorothy immediately takes action rather than waiting for rescue. Demonstrating quick thinking and self-reliance, she tears a strip of cloth from her own skirt to disable a surveillance camera monitoring her cell. When her captors enter to investigate, she is able to physically overpower them, knocking them unconscious and escaping her immediate confinement. From there, she takes the initiative to contact the main characters, Captain Chance and his Gorilla Team, and provides them with crucial tactical information, including the location of the main computer controlling the area's security system, the Gurbits System, which allows the team to complete their mission successfully.
This sequence of events highlights her core personality traits. She is depicted as brave and composed under pressure, capable of quickly assessing a dangerous situation and formulating a plan. Her ability to both overpower guards and identify a key piece of technological infrastructure suggests a level of combat capability and technical awareness. Her relationships with the main characters, particularly within the Gorilla Team, are defined by mutual trust and support; the team works to locate and rescue her when she is abducted, and she in turn provides them with essential support and intelligence from within enemy territory. Her kidnap serves as a primary motivator for the team's mission in that episode, showcasing her role as both a potential liability due to her value as a hostage and a valuable asset due to her competence. While much of the series focuses on the Gorilla Team's operations, Dorothy's development is seen through her increasingly proactive and effective responses to the dangers she faces, moving from a simple victim to an active participant in her own rescue and the mission's success. Her notable abilities include hand-to-hand combat proficiency, situational awareness, and the technological know-how to identify and report on complex computer systems.
