Editing Dot (section)

==Personality==
Dot was one of the King Rinke creatures that could speak English.<ref name="II.I3e3">“I like your colorth.”<br/><br/>Dot stretched out her hands in front of her, looking at her arms.<br/><br/>“I bet you’re beautiful when clean,” Ratcatcher said.<br/><br/>“Yes,” Dot said.  She was.  She wasn’t interesting looking, but she could talk and she could use her hands, feet, and tail, well, and she had some pretty patterns: her namesake spots. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/01/25 Excerpt] from  [[Interlude 3 II]]</ref> Her voice is high pitched, likely due to her small size.<ref name=9.8e1/> She is a kitten-sized<!-- squirrel-ish, but big enough to be draped around the neck without being inconvenient, unlike adult cat-->, and has a similar temperament<ref name="II16y e1"/> - she naps constantly, but when awake is very active.<ref>Dot slept, and she slept a lot, and she burned that energy in fits and bursts. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/09/28 Excerpt] from [[From Within 16.z]]</ref>

She essentially worshiped [[Nilbog|King Rinke]], as did all his children, loving the very idea of interacting with him, and willing to sacrifice everything to help him lead her people again.<ref>Those of her kind who ventured into the human’s civilization didn’t tend to return.  She knew it was a risk.  She knew she had a one percent chance when it came to this.  She’d said her goodbyes accordingly.<br/>[...]<br/>“I come to save you,” she said.  “You can use me for material.”<br/><br/>“I wouldn’t do that,” he said.  “Not for one as beautiful and noble and brave as you.  No.”<br/>She felt the tears well up.  Noble.  Highest of praise. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/01/25/glare-interlude-3/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 3 II]]</ref> However, when he refused to help her and ordered her to return to her people bringing a philanthropic message, she was heartbroken and made no move to do so.

Dot liked bright colors;<ref name=9.8e1/> heavily disliking the drab appearance of the abandoned [[Earth Bet]].<ref>Wet in places, dry in places, but persistently clammy and dirty.  Perpetually colorless.<br/>It was the lack of color that got to her the most. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/01/25 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 3 II]]</ref> She used brightly-colored children's bandages "for luck",<ref name="II.I3e1"/> and she diligently pieced together her outfits from brightly-colored dolls' clothes.<ref name="II.I3e1"/> She was proud of her red spots.<ref name="II.I3e3"/><ref name="II.I3e1"/> Her own biology and socialization has given her a very different metric for the terrific and terrifying.<ref name="II.I3e3"/> She enjoyed humans that had been mutated by powers or grown old, which she felt were more "beautiful" and "interesting".<ref>[[Breaking 14.10]]</ref><ref>“It’s going to be a minute before she sends me the questions I’m supposed to ask,” Eric said.  He smiled.  “I’m supposed to ask about Dot, your sister’s goblin.  Maybe that’s a starting point.”<br/>[...]<br/>“She’s unfiltered,” I said.  Keep it business.  “Her views aren’t human views, [hers is an] ''Alien'' perspective,” I said.  “Where she’s coming from, where she’s going.  Amy does something wrong, Dot thinks that something is interesting.  Amy tries to defend that something, Dot admits it happened.  You get to see behind the curtain.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/10/19 Excerpt] from [[Sundown 17.6]]</ref>

She had a somewhat fairy-tale mentality, often comparing things to stories King Rinke used to read to them.<ref>The building that held her king was fitting for the stories.  The statue lacked color, but it had the right atmosphere.  She was bleeding but she told herself that this was how things were in those stories.  The heroine at the foot of the castle of the evil empire, the king in captivity. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/01/25/glare-interlude-3/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 3 II]]</ref><ref name="rat">Dot had dealt with rats before, but these rats were the sort that were very ugly and very large.  In the right light, they might have been mistaken for very ugly, small dogs.  Dot had always liked that story when the King read it from the scary children’s book.  The children got the dog and the dog turned out to be a Mexican sewer rat. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/01/25 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 3 II]]</ref> One hold over from this she referred to people by titles, claimed and unclaimed.<ref name=9.8e1>“Hello,” the small creature on Amy’s shoulder said, voice high.  A few people glanced over.<br/><br/>“Hello,” Sveta said, before returning to what she was doing.  She kept Amy in the corner of her eye.<br/><br/>“Dot, meet Tress,” Amy said.  “My mother told me a lot about her, and I make- made small talk with her boyfriend when I ran into him at the Wardens headquarters.”<br/><br/>“You have a machine body, and you don’t smell much like flesh or blood.”<br/><br/>“Be polite,” Amy said.<br/><br/>“It’s good!” Dot exclaimed.  “So special, to have something made like that.  A lot of love and care.”<br/><br/>“There was,” Sveta said.  “The most important person in the world had to work hard to make it even possible, and someone had to study very hard to learn how to make it, and that’s a kind of love too.”<br/>[...]<br/>“My Red Queen does good work with a lot of love too,” Dot said.<br/><br/>“I’ve seen the work she does,” Sveta said.<br/>[...]<br/>“My Red Queen has fixed a few of my kind.  Big ones, weird ones.  She could fix you.  She can make you just as wonderful in shape and strong enough you don’t need the body.”<br/><br/>“Don’t volunteer me,” Amy said.  “Things are more complicated than that.”<br/><br/>“''But you can!''  You can make her any shape at all, and then she won’t need that machine anymore!  Then I can take a hand or take an arm!  It’s all so colorful!”<br/><br/>“That’s enough.  I’m sorry, Sveta.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/09/15 Excerpt] from [[Gleaming 9.8]]</ref> As well as seeing things from the antiquated Monarch-Vassal perspective.<ref>[[Breaking 14.10]]</ref>

Her loyalty is strong enough to override her usual single mindedness,<ref>Dot would tell her what Marquis and Hunter had talked about.  Dot couldn’t keep secrets to save her life.  Not unless those secrets pertained to her Queen or her King. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/09/28 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 16.z II]]</ref> and summon inhuman amounts of patience.<ref name="Scout"/>

===Relationships===
====[[Nilbog|King Rinke]]====
Dot worshiped her King just like many of her fellow goblins.<ref name="II.I3e4">She would free him, and he would usher in a new age of greatness for her and her people.  She might even have a place at his side, where she could be close to him at all times.<br/><br/>She wasn’t even sure what that would be like.  She had been ecstatic when she had seen mere glimpses of him, back in the old Kingdom. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/01/25 Excerpt] from  [[Interlude 3 II]]</ref> After he rejected her help she came to see him as the broken man he was.<ref name=1410IIb>“You said she wanted to earn Shin’s trust, so she’d have more freedom.”<br/><br/>“Yes.”<br/><br/>“I think, uh, if she wants to do that, she needs to win my trust, and the trust of people I work with.”<br/><br/>“Then trust her.  She knows everything, she’s strong, she’s almost as beautiful as my fallen King.”<br/><br/>“Thanks,” Amy said.  “That’s, uh, a ringing endorsement, comparing me to Nilbog.”  - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/07/13 Excerpt] from [[Breaking 14.10]]</ref><ref>“There was Ellisburg of course; Nilbog.”<br/><br/>“In custody.  Cooperating.  Effectively retired.  Turns out that living off of cupcakes made of goblin puke and having next to no mental or social stimulation kind of grinds you down.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/10/29 Excerpt] from [[Sundown 17.9]]</ref>

====Society====
She does not care much about human lives, and had no problem eating humans, but loved the other King Rinke creations in her group as family.<ref name="fam"/>

====[[Amy Dallon|The Red Queen]]====
First coming to her as a fellow traveler nursing hurt,<ref>[[Interlude 3 II]]</ref> Dot came to view Amy as her new liege, if not friend.<ref name=9.8e1/><ref name=10.y>[[Cryptid|He]] found her crying.<br/><br/>Amelia Claire Lavere.  Marquis’ daughter.  Victoria’s sister.<br/><br/>The Rinke creation sprung to its feet as he drew near, prowling with long legs and a sleek, long body.  It brandished a box-cutter at him.<br/>[...]<br/>He allowed it.  He approached.  The Rinke creation leaped onto his leg, then up to his long neck, where it held the box cutter at an area where the blood pumped hardest. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/12/11 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 10.y II]]</ref> She had several discussions with Amy about wide ranging subjects, from Amy taking her station more seriously to having Amy make her a bespoke boyfriend.<ref>“Could you make me a boyfriend?” Dot asked. - [[Interlude 16.y II]]</ref>
====[[Victoria Dallon|Vicky]]====
Was respectful to her queen's sister.
