Personality:
My cousin Dolores can hear this whole chorus a mile away!


Dolores is the eldest child of Pepa and Félix, but despite being the oldest of their three children she is heavily overshadowed by her beautiful and beloved cousin Isabela. Despite this, Dolores shows no outward animosity towards her cousin or indeed to any of her family, who she is very close to. She clearly dotes on her brothers and is helpful to her cousins, even giving Mirabel the clue that Luisa's eye had been twitching and putting her on the path to finding out what was wrong with the encanto's miracle.

She is a quiet person who keeps to herself and has a tendency to fade into the background during family occasions (though not quite as much as Mirabel). The nature of her gift means that she hears everyone's gossip and secrets even if she doesn't want to, and she can sometimes have trouble keeping those secrets to herself! It is implied that she is something of a gossip (Mirabel's comment that Dolores would 'tell everyone' about Bruno's vision), but she does not do this from a place of malice and is able to keep secrets if she believes that it would be the best thing for the family (such as Bruno's continued presence in the house). It's possible that she keeps herself held slightly apart from the other people living in the valley to avoid potentially awkward situations, as her gift is no secret and everyone would know that she can hear everything they say.

As well as this, she also tends to not express her own thoughts and feelings and puts those of other people above her own in many cases. She will also always put the good of the family - or the perceived good of the family - above her own wants and needs. Though she is in love with Mariano, she says nothing as she believes she is fated to never be with him due to Bruno's vision, and pursuing him would cause difficulty in the family as Alma wants him to marry Isabela.

Dolores' gift means that she is very sensitive to noise, and although she will put herself into situations that are hard for her to cope with (usually for the sake of the family) she will often put her hands over her ears when things around her start to get loud.

Without her powers, Dolores remains a kind and diligent person who is always willing to lend a hand and to get her hands dirty if need be. She searches for her missing cousin with the rest of the family after helping Alma sit down following the collapse of the house, and happily helps with the rebuilding work. The loss of her gift as well as the rest of the events surrounding the house's destruction also seemed to give her more confidence, allowing her to finally confess her feelings to Mariano.

Time of Arrival to Kaisou: Immediate arrival!

Items: Just the clothes on her back at her canon point - white and yellow shirt with golden-colored trimming on it, a long red skirt with yellow streaks, a red choker with a golden gem adorned with a ruby on the middle of it, and heart-shaped golden earrings, and red sandals. She also wears a red ribbon which holds her hair up in a bun.

Retained Ability: Enhanced hearing: Dolores can literally hear a pin drop, and can hear a conversation happening a mile (or more) away if she is concentrating on it. To start with her hearing will only be very slightly better than your average person, which is honestly a good thing because Dolores can be a terrible gossip. This was the same as her previous arrival - I assume ability regains will reset!
