Appearance: Dory is a petite young woman, standing at roughly 5’2 with noticeably large ears that give her an elfish appearance. She weighs 123 pounds. She also has a very mature look to her, almost like a professional businesswoman rather than a high school student. Her hair is a light brown, her slight auburn highlights standing out faintly in the sun. Her hair was once tied up into bouncy curls when she was younger, but after teasing that ensued upon arrival in middle school, she straightened her hair and grew it out to let it hang loosely over her shoulders. Shortly afterwards however, she cut and cropped it up into a short pixie-like trim. Her face is oval-shaped and fits her very small mouth that always seems to be pulled back on one side into a wise, cynical smirk. Dory’s eyes are chocolate brown and only a cluster of freckles on her cheek damper her complexion.

Dory tends to dress like the people she associates herself with. Shortly before they broke up, she was fond of wearing her boyfriend’s varsity football sweatshirt so they could parade down the hall together and look like a couple. She now tends to wear souvenir shirts from softball games and sweet sixteens. When it’s warm out, Dory tends to put together revealing outfits that more than violate the school dress code, often putting her into detention where she’ll only occasionally wander in out of habit.

Biography: Dorothy”, Dory”, Stoeber was born on April 21st, 1990 as the second child of Martin and Elise Stoeber. It was always intended that they wanted two children – an American tradition as they saw it with the custom being one girl and one boy – but this dream was ruined when their elder son Dennis died shortly after child birth from heart trouble. After three years of virtually silent grieving and going on with their corporate jobs like nothing happened, they finally decided to have the second child.

Dory doesn’t recall much atmosphere from her early childhood. Her parents, while very loving, had a very cold demeanor to them that made them very unapproachable. Even when she looks back at early family photographs, Dory is eerily reminded of those old satin 1800’s photographs where nobody is smiling. It was a strange atmosphere, maybe even a little depressing, but it was one that she’d thrived and developed in. Dory spent most of her time in her room when she was little, watching adult talk shows on television, not really understanding them, and sitting in her room wondering what to do. Her room itself was odd for a young girl – especially one on the verge of entering kindergarten. Instead of pink wallpaper and stuffed animals on her bed, it looked newly renovated with white wallpaper and an odd feeling of an office. She cleaned it daily. Considering how it was how she grew up, it was just the way Dory liked it.

If there was one thing that her parents taught her though, it was strict order. The Stoebers were a highly conservative family with a strong emphasis on the status quo; they themselves on being being All-Americans with Easter egg hunts every spring and firework festival visits every summer. The Stoebers also valued cleanliness. Their house was meticulously scrubbed with not even a speck of dust in the corner left unattended. With creativity almost discouraged in her house, Dora delved more into a world of logic than imagination. As a toddler on rainy days she would take sticky notes and label half of the furniture in her house. If you gave her a blank sheet of paper and crayons though, she would stare at them and wait for step-by-step instructions on what to do next. Everything in Dory’s life was based off the simple, primitive theme of order and neatness. Her clothes were neatly arranged, she ate all of her vegetables, she showered twice a day – sometimes three times -- and she was even home-schooled rather than going to pre-school. Her parents, slowly wanting her to have more interaction with kids her own age, eventually decided against this the year after and shipped Dory off to elementary school.

Dory breezed through elementary school with a clean slate and a decent circle of friends. In middle school, she began to delve into what would become one of her greatest talents: public speaking. It started off with an essay. For one of their state exams in sixth grade, she’d been asked to write a persuasive essay stating whether the school should build a new parking lot. It was the first time she’d ever done it, and to her shock, she found the words flowing through her and onto the power. The power was great to be able to force your views on someone. Although this built up her talent, it did little to help her attitude toward people. Dory’s obsession with persuasion and her opinions eventually caused her to view other people as pawns; not pawns that she could manipulate, but pawns that she could straighten into order.

But even that was kind of stupid. Dory laughed at the idea of perfection. A person couldn’t be perfect, but if anything, they could be clean – and all in all, Dory considered herself a fairly clean person. She never swore, she did what adults told her, and she kept a sharp tongue that always seemed to go her way. Upon her arrival in middle school, Dory was already somewhat of a social savant, able to clearly see which groups in life worked. Throughout her middle school career, Dory branched out from a small clique of friends to a wide social circle. Her cold attitude wasn’t liked when it came down to it, but if anything, she had their respect – and that was all that mattered. Dory’s parents frequently told her that, “all you need are good connections”.

By the start of high school, Dory was a fiery speaker ready to take on the world. She joined as many clubs the school had to offer for her talents -- among them were the editorial column in the literary magazine, the debate team and the student government. Even with her small stature, her loud volume was what got her to make an impression. In sophomore year, Dory was dragged with her friends into joining the girl’s softball team. Although she was more into academics than athletics, she was in decent shape and able to keep her eye on the ball. The fact that the team got to the championship that year only heightened her massive ego and she was eventually led to believe that her joining was what led her teammates to victory.

Upon entering her junior year, Dory fell in love with a senior on the varsity football team named Rich Strogan. Although he tended to manipulate her often – usually accepting the influx of gifts she gave him on holidays and the anniversaries she seemed to schedule every week – Dory was oblivious to anything that was going on. Always seeing things in black-and-white, she blindly believed that she had found true love. Her friends often gossiped about if Rich and Dory were going to get married after high school. Everything was going smoothly. In Dory’s mind, everything was going, “clean”.

Eventually, and quite abruptly at that, things hit rock bottom. A bag of drugs were found in Rich’s locker and he was subsequently expelled soon after, seeing how similar events had happened numerous times in his school career. Upon their first meeting after his expulsion, Rich revealed the truth to Dory. The outline seemed to have been that Rich had been set up by a college kid named Warwick. The two apparently operated some kind of drug ring together, and after Rich had sold him out somehow, Warwick had gotten somebody at school to plant the goods in Rich’s locker. According to Rich, “The guy stole $3000 from me and I was just trying to get it back. Next thing I know he plants a bag of weed in my locker. I need someone to go in and get it back, Dory”.

Too stubborn to believe he was using her, Dory gladly accepted the deal and managed to get the information out that Warwick regularly had parties on Saturday nights down by his house in uptown St.Paul. Making the trip with a sense of fear and excitement, Dory arrived and gazed out across the backyard patio to see crowds of drunken college students in every direction. Working like a detective and asking everyone questions, she was able to quickly find Warwick standing on his backyard deck. Quickly sneaking past him, she was able to sneak into his house through the back door and run up the staircase to his room. Once inside, Dory tried to remember where Rich had told her the money would be. After a frightening minute of searching through drawers, she was able to find a shoe box brimming with hundred-dollar bills. Leaving the house just as quickly as she came, Dory dashed down the street to where she hid her bike and rode home faster than she ever had in her life.

Upon getting back to her neighborhood, she was surprised to find Rich waiting for her by her house. After a brief moment of gratitude where he thanked her, the situation turned itself around when Rich revealed he was moving out to Oregon in two weeks. Pleading for him to stay and protesting that they were supposed to be together, Rich calmly revealed that he had never really cared about her and had just used her because she was impressionable and easy to manipulate. Shortly before leaving, Rich told a sobbing Dory, “I wouldn’t tell anyone what happened. It might end up bad for you”.

Too scared to tell the police, Dory quietly kept the incident to herself and did her best to ignore it. At the same time however, she quietly told herself that she would never fall in love again. She started to view people as entertainment rather than friends, only going out with her friends because she felt superior to them. After graduation, Dory has half the mind to leave St.Paul and track Rich down. On the other hand however, she doesn’t feel like it’s worth it and simply wants to put the incident in the past.

While you would think she would stay away from such things, Dory is also a known partier. She’s more than willing to admit being in the more popular half of the school, although she’ll tell you immediately that she thinks half of her friends are stupid. She feels humiliated at associating with the other people that show up at the festivities, but all in all, she’s always ready to have a good time. Because everyone else in the student body is doing it, Dory smokes marijuana as well as drinks whenever the opportunity arises. She likes to consider herself a, “socialite”, because the word sound classy on her tongue. Other than that, when you look at her in the hallway, it’s hard to picture her anywhere else but screaming her mind out on the debate team or playing her heart out on the softball field.

If the searching-for-Rich escapade doesn’t work out, Dory is planning to attend law school post-graduation. Her political views were mostly Republican for a good portion of her teenage years but she’s recently leant more toward Democrat on some issues.

Advantages: Dory has a wide circle of friends but isn’t particularly attached to them. If it comes down to it, she’ll gladly leave anyone behind if it means saving her own hide. She’s also a skilled athlete from her time spent on the softball team.
Disadvantages: Dory’s shallowness is her weakness. Viewing other people as lesser than her, she’s never stopped to think that people might someday turn against her. Also, her years of picking on her less popular classmates may spell death for her out on the battlefield if they decide to use the opportunity for vengeance.

Conclusion: Well there isn't too much to say about girl 007. She seems to be a bit of a windbag. Still she seems like she could go far with a little help from her friends and we could see some kills. That's dependant on her being able to wield that bizarre offspring of a spear, a sword and a scythe.
