Movie
Description
Dorothy West is a student at Paprika Private Academy, introduced as a 7th grader and later noted as an 8th grader. She is of mixed heritage, with a Canadian father and a Japanese mother. She has a twin brother named Reona West, also referred to as Leona West, and their family consists of Mr. and Mrs. West. Dorothy is deeply close to her twin brother, remaining highly protective of him, while he acts as an anchor that keeps her grounded. Their personalities are inherited from their mother.

She has short, light blue hair with a single braid on the right side and bright blue eyes. She often wears a sailor’s hat on the left side of her head. Her preferred fashion brand is Fortune Party, a preference she shares with her brother, making them the first main characters in their universe to share a brand.

Dorothy possesses a bright, cheerful, idol-type personality. She is prideful, somewhat immature, and can be bossy, preferring things to go her way. She has a sharp tongue and a flirty side, sometimes using her charm to win people over. Yet she can become serious when the situation demands it. She is easier to scare than her brother and sometimes exhibits a fearful side. Dorothy often mixes English with Japanese in her speech, and her catchphrase is "Tension Max!" She refers to herself using the masculine pronoun "boku."

As the series progresses, many of her less mature traits fade as she grows closer to friends like Laala Manaka. She deeply values her friendships and can be strongly affected if she feels betrayed or undervalued. Dorothy is part of several idol units, including Dressing Pafé, formed with Shion Todo and Reona West, as well as SoLaMi♡Dressing, Dressing Flower, Cosmic Omurice da Vinci, and FriendAll. She was initially fired from her idol activities for insisting on performing with her twin but later rejoined. Dorothy and Laala were on the same team for every Dream Idol Grand Prix. Eventually, Dorothy, along with Shion and Reona, becomes a God Idol, though they later relinquish this title.

Her relationships include a close but occasionally disputatious friendship with Shion Todo, whom she values despite their differences. She forms a vengeful alliance with Usagi after both feel wronged by Sophy. She also maintains a supportive relationship with Nino Nijiiro, whom she and Reona advise. Dorothy is a teammate of Laala Manaka and Mikan Shiratama in the PriPara Police, and her bond with Laala is highlighted in episodes where Laala refuses to abandon her, even in frightening situations.

Dorothy made a cameo debut in Episode 11 and formally debuted in Episode 14. She has a variety of coordinating outfits for her idol performances, including the Twin Gingham Coord, Fortune Party D Cyalume Coord, Dressing Pafé D Team Cyalume Coord, Dream Fortune Party D Cyalume Coord, Fresh Dressing Pafé D Team Cyalume Coord, Super Cyalume Dorothy Coord, and Team Super Cyalume Dorothy Coord. She is the last member of SoLaMi Dressing to get her Super Cyalume Coord.

Additional personal details include her birthday on February 5th, making her zodiac sign Aquarius. Her favorite food is monjayaki. She has received over one thousand warning tickets. In early sketches, she and Reona were designed to have white hair instead of light blue. She shares some traits with Kaede Ichinose from Aikatsu!, including being half-foreign, cheerful, and mixing English into her speech, though Dorothy's English usage is more limited to words like "max."
