Bio:
Dolly has always been a kind and sweet person, incredibly shy but extremely passionate about the things she cares about: art, insects, baseball, film history, and poetry, to name a few. To say she’s “as gentle as a lamb” would be a massive understatement, both literally and metaphorically. To say that she likes sheep would be even more of an understatement; even as her special interests and passions ran deep, her undying love and affinity for ovines outclassed them all. So it came as a surprise to no one, least of all herself, that when she began transition she gradually lost her human features as well, ultimately ending up how she wanted to be all along: a gorgeous sheep-girl, overflowing with kindness and tenderness.
The youngest of three, with one older brother (Greg) and one older sister (Rosalyn), she had a very rough childhood. Her macho father and right-wing Christian mother didn’t understand why their child hated pants and begged to wear dresses, or rocked back and forth and flapped, or meticulously memorized every line from her favorite films, or constantly snuck makeup when they weren’t looking, or related to animals more than people, or named and became desperately attached to every inanimate object. Her brother felt the same way, making the cruel choice to avoid being “embarrassed” by his sibling’s ways and manners by being complicit in her abuse. Her sister, however, took up the role of her fiercest defender, a light in the darkness of her early years. Thankfully, she managed to find greener pastures, attending art school and establishing herself as a furry artist.
It was in her senior year (before she came out) that she met Alan Rabinowitz: punk, radical, Very Autistic Boy, die-hard union and labor organizer, bisexual disaster, and coyote. Bonding over their shared obsession about baseball, the two friends quickly blossomed into lovers, and after graduating college moving in together was a natural choice. When she did come out, the only thing other than support Alan had to give on the matter was that, while he knew he wanted a spouse, he was overjoyed to think that someday his partner would be his wife. Eventually, the two would indeed marry, Dolly being accepted fully and lovingly into the Rabinowitz family and even making the decision to convert to Judaism.
