#dorothea ask

Dorothea just wandering through Garreg Mach grabbing people for her new opera troupe. She picks up Annette and Ferdinand too. Maybe Lorenz, Marianne and Mercedes? (I feel like with some training they’d sing good) Also maybe Shamir turns out to have a nice voice and is horrified. Who else? Who does she rope into being a stagehand? (I’m thinking Caspar, Dedue, maybe Petra) How much chaos ensues?

Surprisingly little, actually. Aside from Byleth's class schedule needing a few adjustments, things go over pretty well. Dorothea is a genius when it comes to this stuff and once she puts her mind to it, she's basically running a while goddamn show on her own

Everyone else goes along quietly cuz it's Dorothea and she's...persuasive. She somehow finds ways to convince everyone to join and suddenly even Rhea can't refuse her request for an entire day to hold a performance

It becomes a festival and no one is entirely sure how Dorothea managed that all on her own but damn if it's not fun. Especially since she somehow manages to keep even the wildest of students under control with little issue.

She's just that impressive and everyone is a little scared.

"Geese are evil" - Dorothea might beg to differ. She might be the only one since Franky likes her and she adores him (for some reason), but... yeah, anyway, pretty sure Dorothea will beg to differ.

Dorothea knows geese are evil, she's just got more power than anyone else and she's proud of that!

Decided to try making Shamir a Swordsmaster and Catherine a Sniper and it works shockingly well. (Also swordsmaster Dorothea with a levin sword destroys everything)

Hehe you said shocking and then an electric weapon...classic

But yeah, sometimes you just gotta experiment and you'll find some hidden gems

I like that in SS Dorothea mentions that she spent the timeskip taking care of war orphans, it seems like something she would do. Trying to ease the pain just a little so the kids don’t go through what she did. Probably sang a lot of lullabies.

Dorothea is one of the kindest people in the entire game so yeah, it's very much in character for her to do this. And she'd definitely sing lullabies to the kids, she loves helping.

I think Dorothea and Dedue would be nice oddball friends. She'd respect and adore him for his gentleness, appreciate his knowledge, and take comfort in his presence. She can take care of herself, but it's nice to know you don't have to do it alone. Dedue would appreciate how outspoken and open minded she is. He'd enjoy her company. They'd just be really good. I love them.

Two good beans being friends is always good!

I wanna see Claude and Dorothea interact. Partly because of Joe Zieja and Allegra Clark’s irl friendship, but also because I think they’d sass the hell out of each other.

Oooooh the sass! The sass could kill any lesser human so maybe it's good they don't have supports xD

bro... I just watched the bernie/dorothea supports and i'm sour over the fact that it only goes up to B support. It's honestly so sweet and i love them so much, dorothea is so supportive towards bernie who needs that kind of independant feminine presence in her life. And idk... i just wish we could see them interacting more :(

I STILL HEADCANON THEY'RE HALF SISTERS AND I WANT THAT IN THE GAME

I always recruit Dorothea, and I like to think that she'd bond with Dimitri. He's such a darling, she'd find it hard not to develop an almost sisterly affection for him; and because she has an outside perspective, it would be obvious to her that he's lonely and feels genuinely isolated by the constant use of his title instead of his name. She starts out by calling him his proper name, but starts calling him 'Dima' pretty soon after. It makes Dima so happy.

There's a couple of supports we were robbed of and this is one of them, I agree. Dorothea is a very nurturing person and Dimitri needs that
