Description
Dorothea Gri'mm Wallenstein is a dark elf and a best-selling novelist who appears as a supporting character in the story. She is a former resident of the mansion that later becomes the home of the protagonist, Allen Crawford, and she holds a unique position as the property's eccentric original owner.
Physically, Dorothea is a female dark elf, a race known for its mysterious and ageless appearance. Her personality is highly unconventional and defined by a profound sense of personal freedom. She is remarkably laid-back and lives entirely according to her own rhythm, often coming across as lazy or averse to troublesome tasks. This casual demeanor is reflected in her speech, as she uses a boyish, self-assured first-person pronoun for herself. Her most defining characteristic is her extreme tendency to avoid pressure, particularly when it comes to her writing career.
Dorothea’s background is the primary source of her eccentric behavior. As a highly popular novelist, she was once prolific and in demand. However, when faced with the stress of a manuscript deadline, she did not simply procrastinate; she chose to disappear entirely. To escape her editor and the pressure to write, she retreated to the basement of her own mansion and stayed there for thirty years. During this three-decade-long isolation, she survived by cultivating and eating mushrooms, relying on her natural dark elf abilities to sustain herself. As a dark elf, she can survive for extended periods without food or water by absorbing mana, or "mana," directly from the air, and her lifespan is said to exceed one hundred years.
Her motivations are not driven by malice or greed but by a unique combination of creative curiosity and extreme laziness. After emerging from her basement, she discovers that her mansion has been sold to Allen Crawford. She does not seem to mind this loss, as she has grown accustomed to subterranean life. Instead of demanding the property back, she leverages her position as the original owner to insert herself into the lives of the new residents. Her primary motivation becomes using Allen and the disgraced noble lady he rescued, Charlotte Evans, as live-in sources of inspiration for her next novel. She forces Allen to assist her with her writing projects, threatening to reclaim the mansion if he refuses to cooperate.
In the story, Dorothea serves as a chaotic catalyst and an observer. Her role is not that of a main hero or villain but an eccentric, powerful figure who disrupts the status quo. She takes a strong interest in Charlotte and Allen, viewing their relationship and personal struggles as fascinating material for her stories. Despite her manipulative methods, she is not cruel. By the end of the first story arc, she uses her own peculiar methods to assist Charlotte in getting revenge on those who wronged her, demonstrating a sense of alignment with the protagonists.
Her key relationships are defined by this transactional yet amused interest. She has a landlord-tenant relationship with Allen, but it is one where she holds all the power, forcing him into servitude as an assistant writer. She views Charlotte as an exceptionally valuable source of inspiration and seems to enjoy watching her development. Dorothea has no notable combat abilities, but her racial traits grant her an extended lifespan and the ability to go without food, which directly enabled her thirty-year seclusion. Her development in the story is minimal, as her primary narrative function is to remain a static, quirky force who stirs up the lives of the main characters for her own amusement and creative benefit, though she does show a capacity for taking action to support them when it aligns with her interests.
