A not-insignificant amount of Dorothea's personality has been influenced by her career. She's gotten used to operating a certain way, both in and outside of the workplace—though the sway her career holds over her personality is mostly limited to its more positive facets. For one, Dorothea is highly adaptable: crisis situations can happen at any time, no matter where you are, and it's better to become equipped to deal with whatever life throws at you sooner rather than later, right? Whether she's at the hospital or at home, Dorothea is always prepared to address the current situation as quickly and as efficiently as possible. She wouldn't have been able to make it to where she is without good work ethic and a better sense of organization. Being able to do things both swiftly and competently is important to Dorothea—both professionally and personally. Thus she has little use for the theoretical and hypothetical over the concrete and logical; pragmatic to a fault, she handles just about everything that comes her way as practically as she can, not bothering to address the "what-ifs" that pop up now and again. If she were to tackle every hypothetical situation that sticks its nose where it doesn't belong, she'd end up spending more time thinking about unrealistic proposals than actually working. In handling specific scenarios such as this and in a variety of other aspects, Dorothea is undoubtedly intelligent, both in terms of street smarts and in factual knowledge. She'd need to be smart to be where she is, after all, especially considering her age. Undoubtedly smarter than your average person—even smarter than your average Ultimate—she applies her judgement liberally and isn't afraid to make that known. Yet, in spite of her career path which you think would surely make her a serious, reliable person, Dorothea is about as solemn as a professional clown can be. Bright and enthusiastic in just about every situation, at first glance you might not think that she's a nurse at all. Her peppiness belies her capabilities and competence; for every little bit of energy she has, she has just as much brain power to go along with it.

As an Ultimate, wouldn't it be strange if Dorothea was an ordinary nobody? Of course it would! No, a life of blending in just isn't for her; she likes to stand out from the crowd, for better or worse. She doesn't have a preference! But perhaps it's that desire of hers to make herself known that makes her come off as... strange, at times, and not in the good sort of way. Being around Dorothea is unsettling, off-putting; there's just something about her that's not quite right. Whatever that is is uncertain, but the cause isn't so much cause for concern as the strange atmosphere surrounding her. Almost as though she's entirely unaware of her presence, the nurse is surprisingly prideful, and carries herself like she inspires feelings of confidence instead of something bordering on creepy. Really, just who is Dorothea Winters?

A nurse is supposed to be kind, caring, and gentle, right? Then meeting Dorothea is a disappointment. For as good as she is at her job, outside of the workplace her personality nearly inverts itself, so different is her professional persona to her private life. The sweet, nurturing façade she puts on for her patients is just that: a façade. For some people, her true personality doesn't much matter as long as you get the job done, but for others it's far more unsettling than that. Once Dorothea is off the clock, you're own your own. Get hit by a car? Better hope that you're on her good side, or enjoy your shattered orbital until emergency services haul you off the side of the road. And her "good side" changes as much as her personality does; her loyalties and interests frequently shift with no particular rhyme or reason. One day, she might consider you her closest friend—the next? An annoyance. Yet for as often as her own affections are changed, she's very pushy about getting her way with others. Controlling is a good word to use. If things don't go Dorothea's way, she gets frustrated. Fast. As a matter of fact, it's not difficult to frustrate her at all; many things get under her skin, and she gets annoyed on a constant basis. Don't be fooled by her enthusiasm—more often than not, she's seething with quiet rage. And it's when she gets irritated that she starts cutting corners. As long as the job gets done, that's what matters, right? Who cares about the aftermath? Dorothea does what's asked of her as efficiently as possible, and, well, if efficiency means that she has to skimp out on some moral or ethical dilemma, then that's not really her problem, is it?

• Languages ; Due to her education, she's fluent in English as her native and is also fluent in Maori.
• Swimming ; She's no fan of it, and not extremely good by any means, but she knows how to swim. She lives in New Zealand, is that any surprise?
• General Strengths ;
  > Has excellent penmanship and anything written by her, especially when it comes to educational or important documents meant to be read, it's clear she's developed her handwriting as she's grown up to an extreme.
  > Her education and background gives her the strength of just being generally smart about a lot of things- whether it be things outside of her talent or not, she's a hyper-excelled student.
  > She's very good with small details- after all, she is a nurse, is she not? Sure, she isn't generally doing the sutures and small handiworks like a doctor, but she's trained as much.
• General Weaknesses ;
  > She's awful to work with and is an absolute pain. Just a general trait of hers that is a non-stop awful.
  > Dorothea isn't very interested in most "mundane," things, thus she doesn't talk easily with simple topics. It's not as much of a "I'm rich and I don't like peasantries," sort of thing as much as it is a "I don't get the appeal," sort of deal.
  > A detriment to both others and herself, she's not the luckiest person, despite being extremely wealthy due to her career and her family. She's somewhat of a reverse rabbit's foot, if you will. A frog's leg, perhaps?
