Appearance
 |
Dolores is a giant, wearing a nun's clothing, and white strap-on sandals.
32 years ago, Dolores was a chubby giant, who wore an old brown cloth along with a pair of boots. Her chubby figure was later lost.
Personality
Unlike other giants, Dolores is timid and shy, disliking battle and preferring to live a peaceful life, while also wanting to be useful and accepted.
History
Dolores and Diane were trained by Matrona during their time with the Giant Clan, even taking several missions together. One of them was to assist in a conflict between the Holy Knights and the Savage Tribe, although Dolores was scared and did not participate in the battle, being protected by Matrona.
Matrona scolds Dolores and Diane for being soft in battle, claiming that giants live and die only by battle. During the meal, Dolores asks Diane if she should leave Megadozer like Diane did long ago, stating that she would rather die than have to fight and kill someone. After a training in which Dolores takes a beating for her poor performance, Dolores insists to Matrona that she no longer wishes to fight, to which Matrona says that she must then have a child and make him a warrior in her place.
One evening, Diane overheard Matrona's plans to make Diane the strongest Giant warrior ever. Disliking Matrona's plans for her, Diane made up her mind to leave the village once more. She goes to find Dolores and run away with her, but Dolores declines. Dolores explains after much thought, the Giant's village is the only place where they'll ever be accepted, and that there was nothing to fear once you've been accepted.
Dolores being found by Ordo
Sometime after Diane left on her own, Matrona makes Dolores take a mission alone, fighting a band of mountain bandits, and is thought to have died during the mission. Actually, she survived and run into hiding.
At some point, Dolores was found lost in Echo Gorge by Ordo and had taken her in his care.
