| Who is Dorothy Catalonia? A nutcase with weird eyebrows? A back-stabbing b-i-t-c-h? A seductive girl up to no-good? A romantically confused soldier? Just who is the girl we all know as Dorothy Catalonia? Well, for one, she is one of the most misunderstood Gundam Wing characters of all time. Quiet, cynical, and biting, Dorothy does not have many people who have taken a liking to her, and even less who truly understand her character. But, Dorothy is very hard to understand. The strange girl who seems to adore war and seriously doubt peace is the exact opposite of Gundam Wing heroine, Relena. When she arrives to Relena's school in the Sanc Kingdom, the first thing she does is question Relena's practices. Since a lot of the things Dorothy says are actually quite true, she is feared to be a threat to Relena, and to Relena's authority. Since Dorothy's ways are so rough, she is disliked by most of her classmates, who blindly follow Relena. Dorothy believes it is human nature to fight and have wars. She doesn't believe peace is attainable. People fear what they aren't used to, and Dorothy, with her ideals, quickly creates a splash in the Sanc Kingdom. Dorothy is one to take life by the horns, and not let is pass her by. She takes an active role in the war, against Relena's Utopian policies of peace on Earth. Streetwise as Dorothy is, Dorothy reads between the lines, never believing people do something out of sheer kindness. Ruthless is a word that describes Dorothy quite well. She believes anything must be done to achieve the larger goal. Human morale is not needed. She is willing to eliminate any obstacle, which is a good attitude towards war. Dorothy deep down is a kind-hearted person, as Quatre observed. Yet she believes kindness if for the weak, and that you're trampled on if you're kind. Therefore, she never acts truly kind to anyone. Show just a bit of kindness, and you're doomed. Dorothy believes most people are stupid. And she's not wrong. Most people like to blindly follow authority, and most people like to be told what to do and how to do it. She seems to like battles, and sometimes comes off as war-hungry. Yet, the only reason Dorothy is pro-war is because wars show your power and get you what you want... but not because they bring death and destruction. And, peace cannot be upheld without fighting for it. Cold and restrained is another word that describes Dorothy. Whenever she makes a point, she says in a ladylike and polite manner, never losing her temper of getting a tantrum. But no matter how ladylike she sounds, her voice has teasing, mocking undertones. At the same time as she takes an active role in the war, Dorothy also is out of place. As her name suggests, Dorothy, like Dorothy in 'The Wizard of OZ' gets lost... lost in the war. When things don't go her way, she begins to question her ideals, yet doesn't change them. Colorful, original, and certainly not boring, THE BLACK SWAN is dedicated to Dorothy Catalonia, Gundam Wing's one and only black swan. |

| NOTE: "CD PLAYER" will return in an undefined period of time. The reason it was removed was because the soundfiles that held the songs I liked belonged to Freemp3.com, which no longer exists for most the world, and is only available to folks in Italy. Though I wouldn't mind moving there, I, unfortunately, live here in America. But, being the poud American gal I am, I'm going to try to fix it! While I'm fixing it, it'll be out of order. Not that anyone ever visited it in the first place, but I feel it is my duty to tell folks why things suddenly disappear from my website. |
| short message that I have to post or I get sued: YES! I DO OWN GUNDAM WING! I INVENTED THE CHARECTERS! I WROTE THE PLOT! I DREW ALL THE SKETCHES BY HAND! (sighs) OK, I didn't do ANY of the above. But I wish I did! I also didn't write any of the song lyrics I use in my fics, and I don't own any of the bands who sang the lyrics. There, I confessed my sins. You people at Sunrise and the record company happy now?! |
