Dorothy of Oz

Background
  Dorothy Gable grew up on a family farm in rural Southern Ontario, enjoying an idyllic childhood until a devastating tornado destroyed her home. This traumatic event forced her family to relocate to Toronto, where Dorothy’s father found work at Wright Tech International. This experience left Dorothy with a need for control, pushing her to focus on science and engineering to make sense of the world.
  In Toronto, Dorothy excelled in school and developed a passion for robotics. She attended the University of Waterloo, where she met Alice Little, a brilliant polymath and close friend. Dorothy admired Alice’s intellect but always felt overshadowed by her genius. Their friendship deepened over shared interests in literature, particularly The Wonderful Wizard of Oz for Dorothy and Alice in Wonderland for Alice.
  After college, Dorothy took a job at Macentyre Systems, where she continued working in robotics. Tragedy struck when Alice succumbed to madness and became the supervillain Wonderland. Witnessing Alice’s fall and the exploitation of other friends, like Martha Vanhorn (Thrill Seeker), by corrupt figures like Michael Macentyre, Dorothy's faith in the powerful was shattered.
  Dorothy's exposure to Wonderland's illusions and altered reality left her with mild dissociative tendencies, but her desire to fight back against the forces that broke Alice led her to become a vigilante hero. Inspired by her favorite story, she adopted the alias Oz and used her engineering talents to create exo-armor, robotic drones, and other tech-based gadgets, determined to protect the vulnerable and fight corruption.   Personality
Dorothy Gable is fiercely determined, driven by a deep sense of justice and compassion. She views herself as a protector for those who have lost their way, much like the characters in her favorite story, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. She takes inspiration from the book’s themes, seeking to guide society's "Scarecrows," "Tin Men," and "Lions"—those who feel brainless, heartless, or lacking courage—back onto their rightful paths. Dorothy stands against the "wicked witches" of the world: the corrupt, manipulative, and exploitative forces that prey on others.
  Her mission isn’t just about fighting villains, but about restoring hope. Dorothy believes that even those grappling with mental health issues, like herself, can still do good. She strives to prove that, despite the internal battles people face, they can become heroes. Her role as Oz is to guide those who are lost, offering protection and support while standing up to corruption. She sees the world as full of people who have lost their way and is determined to help them find the "yellow brick road" back to hope and purpose.
  However, Dorothy’s mental struggles add complexity to her challangesr. She has a fixation on The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which serves as both a source of inspiration and a coping mechanism. In times of stress, this fixation can become obsessive, leading her to compulsive behaviors as a way to maintain control in overwhelming situations.
  The trauma of losing her home in the tornado and witnessing the mental decline of close friends like Alice (Wonderland) and Martha (Thrill Seeker) left Dorothy with chronic anxiety. She tends to overthink situations, and her experiences have made her wary of trusting others, especially those in positions of power. Occasionally, Dorothy experiences mild dissociation, a lingering effect of Wonderland’s mind-altering illusions. During stressful moments, she briefly questions her perception of reality, though she usually regains her composure quickly.
  Dorothy also struggles with survivor’s guilt. She feels a profound sense of guilt for not succumbing to despair like Alice and Martha, pushing herself harder to ensure that others don’t fall victim to the same dark forces. Her sarcasm and dry humor often mask the anxiety and internal conflict she feels, serving as a defense mechanism to deflect attention from her vulnerabilities.
  Despite these challenges, Dorothy remains focused and resolute. She finds solace in her work, using her engineering and problem-solving skills to create order in chaotic situations. Her resourcefulness and sharp intellect make her a formidable hero, while her compassion ensures that she never loses sight of her mission to help those in need.
