Description
Name: Doli Dashing (later Darling)

DOB: January 16th 199X (Millennial)

Headcannon Actor/Voice Actor: Sierra McClain

Residence: Los Angeles, California

Ethnicity: African-American

Love Interest: Wally Darling

Occupation: Puppeteer

Sexuality: Straight

Species: Human (sometimes puppet)

Relatives: Dorothy Darren (grandmother-deceased); Douglas Darren (grandfather- deceased); Darlene (nee Darren) Dashing (mother); David Dashing (father) ; Deshawn Dashing (younger brother); Dennis Darren (maternal uncle); Daisy Darren (maternal aunt by marriage); Destiny Darren (cousin) ; Dania Darren (cousin); Dawn Darren(maternal aunt)

Personality: She has a great love for puppeteering and it's one of her greatest passions. She tends to talk on length about the different types of puppets and the history of it. She also was really close with her grandmother who she cherishes today and wants to find out more about her ties with the Welcome Home show. At first she was flabbergasted at being sent to the alternative world to Welcome Home, but eventually adjusted once she got the ease of things. But still had a strong instinct that something wasn't right. She goes back and forth between either staying with them most of the time or going back to her world. She especially wants to figure what dark secrets are lying in the deceptive charm of the setting. As she stays in the world, she becomes more and more protective of the gang, especially Wally who she grows to love. She also has a slight sarcastic streak but tries to be not so adult around everyone due to their world being catered around preschoolers. She also has to sometimes be patient for these guys since they run on preschool show logic. She can be blunt and can unintentionally hurt someone's feelings without meaning to and tries to apologize for what she's done.

Background: Ever since she was young, she was always fascinated by puppets due to her grandmother being a puppeteer. She went to college to get into puppetry and graduated. She eventually got a job with a theater that did puppets. However, when her grandmother died she felt devastated about her death that she almost quit puppeteering until she began investigating into her work which she found had merchandise about Welcome Home which had kept hidden in her basement. She then got interested in finding out more about this show her grandmother worked on as her first project. As she investigated more and got into the Welcome Home Restoration project, she then started noticing more and more weird stuff happening on the site until she was sucked into another world where the puppets lived and she was greeted by them but she knew something was afoot but played along. She told them she was Dorothy Darren's granddaughter and were even more estatic since she was one of her favorite puppeteers. She then eventually found out more dark secrets about Welcome Home, why her grandmother had hidden her ties to it and vowed to eventually purge it. Along the way as well, she grew to really become fond of Wally to the point it morphed into mutual love especially when she got a puppet form to fit in more. This also motivated her more to fight the darkness when she realized how much it was keeping everyone trapped and preventing them from truly being remembered.

* Her grandmother after her first gig on Welcome Home had a long career in tv puppeteering that expanded into the 2010's when she retired.

* Doli was the only one of her grandmother's grandchildren who had interest in puppetry.

* Due to grandmother being a puppeteer on the show, the Block Building, she was able to become a kid of the week and even has the episode recorded which she always held in pride.

* She's autistic.

* She has a big sweet tooth. She especially loves cakes and cupcakes (especially strawberry).

* She loves macaroni and cheese, chicken, and pb &j sandwiches.

* Her favorite color is pink and will find any excuse to buy or collect anything pink.

* She finds a way to give Wally and the others human forms.

* Her mother, uncle, and aunt remember watching the show but don't often mention it since their mother didn't not want to talk about the show.

* Due to being from modern times, she often keeps up to dates about how things have changed since the 70's.

* She's a big fan of old school music, especially Motown and other old black music.

* She has an entire library of books about puppetry at home.

* When she decides to stay in their world after purging the evil she still becomes their equivalent of a puppeteer and runs a puppet theater.

* The cast calls her "DD" like they did with her grandmother.

* She has tried to contact other people who her grandmother knew on the show, especially when some shows took some inspiration from it.

* She manages to keep her phone with her but she has to find a way to keep it charged.

* She and Wally eventually have two kids together and they both have D names.

* She and her brother have a good relationship with one another. He went to trade school to become a web developer and has interest in the Welcome Home Project due to the website and how he thinks he can improve it.

* She and the rest of her family are not on good terms with her Aunt Dawn since her grandmother died.

* She is closer to her uncle, aunt by marriage, and cousins but they haven't seen much of her each other often.

* Her brother gets sucked in at one time and gets a puppet form.

* She has some inspiration from many human characters from Sesame Street and other such puppet shows. Also for her puppet form she is a bit inspired by Franklin Roosevelt.

* Her family life is somewhat inspired by my own but with some adjustment.
