Extra info Personality: Dory is a true wild child at heart. She’s creative, spontaneous, adventurous, fearless (sometimes to the point of recklessness), and a huge tomboy. She’s outspoken and unafraid to stand up for herself. Sometimes she can be blunt and snarky, but she makes a loyal and fun friend who is fiercely protective of those she cares about. Dory is her own person who refuses to pretend to be someone she’s not for any reason. Freedom of expression is very important to her, and she enjoys expressing herself through her art.
Likes: all kinds of art, surfing, skateboarding, cartoons, bright colors, fusion cuisine, soda, graphic tees, speaking her mind/expressing herself through her art
Dislikes: her first name, dresses, high heels, lying, intolerance/discrimination of any kind, being compared to her sisters, sitting still, having her creativity stifled
Motto: Be who you are, not who everyone wants you to be.
Role Model: her grandpa because he is an artist himself and always encouraged her interest
Annoying habit: Calls everybody “dude”, whether male or female
Trademark: signs her work with two Ds hidden somewhere in the picture

History
Dory is the middle child of Rilian and Frida Dane. Her father is a well-respected auror at MACUSA, and her mother, a No-Maj born witch, is an accomplished potioneer. From an early age, she showed a unique talent and passion for art, much to the dismay of her family. Her parents didn’t see much use for art in the wizarding world and tried to steer her toward a more practical hobby, and her sisters had very different interests. Only her No-Maj grandfather, a cartoonist for a local newspaper, understood her and encouraged her to pursue her art.
Like her parents and sisters, Dory attended Ilvermory School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she was sorted into Thunderbird. She seemed to inherit her mother’s talent for potions and was also strong in charms and transfiguration. She enjoyed combining magic with her art and developed her own magical inks and paints. While at school, she gained a reputation as a rabble-rouser when she joined the Model MACUSA club and became an outspoken advocate for NoMaj rights. In her final year at Ilvermorny, her father ran for president of MACUSA, and Dory thought this could be her chance to bridge the gap between wizarding and no-maj communities… only to find out that her father planned to bring back a version of Rappaport's Law even stricter than the original. She withdrew her support from her father’s campaign and spoke out against his policies; to this day, her family blames her for his election loss.
After graduation, Dory’s father tried to steer her toward a career in politics while her mother wanted her to become a potioneer, but Dory had other ideas. She wanted no part of her country’s hostile attitude toward No-Majs and, upon winning a scholarship to a prestigious London wizarding university, moved to England and never looked back. She earned a degree in potions making, but instead of following in her mother’s footsteps, she used her skills to improve her art. After university, Dory attended a muggle art school for two years before getting a job as an apprentice tattoo artist. She rose through the ranks to become an artist in her own right and saved as much money as she could in hopes of one day opening her own tattoo parlor. When she heard Paradise Piercings & Tattoos in Diagon Alley was available, the opportunity was too good for her to pass up!
