Dota Gozen, mother of Oda Nobunaga and his siblings, exhibits a marked preference for her younger son Nobuyuki due to his conventional demeanor, while consistently disapproving of Nobunaga's unconventional behavior and perceived lack of discipline during his youth. This dynamic leads her to reside separately from Nobunaga, choosing Suemori Castle alongside Nobuyuki over Nagoya Castle.

Her support for Nobuyuki extends into political conflicts, particularly during the succession crisis after their father Oda Nobuhide’s death, where she actively backs his challenge to Nobunaga’s rightful claim as heir. When Nobuyuki’s initial rebellion fails, she intervenes directly to secure Nobunaga’s mercy for her favored son. Following Nobuyuki’s second, fatal rebellion, Suemori Castle’s destruction forces her relocation under Nobunaga’s protection.

Later, she assumes care for Nobunaga’s children, including heir Nobutada, and his sister Oichi’s daughters—Chacha, Hatsu, and Gou. After Nobunaga and Nobutada perish in the 1582 Honno-ji Incident, she spends her final years with her son Nobukane at Tsu Castle until her death.

The narrative emphasizes her strained maternal bond with Nobunaga, rooted in his childhood unruly conduct such as biting wet nurses, contextualizing her detachment. Her character reflects historical interpretations of favoring Nobuyuki and participating in political opposition to Nobunaga, though historical records vary on the extent of her direct involvement. Personality assessments within the anime align her with INFJ and Enneagram 8w9 traits, indicating a complex figure driven by strong convictions and selective, protective loyalty.
