There is no Sinner that can outmatch this one's level of passion. An avid aficionada of all things Fixer, she adorns herself with a variety of Fixer-related merchandise. They won't affect her performance in combat one way or another, so there is no need for you to restrict her from keeping her decorations. She is deeply immersed in the role of a righteous Fixer, hence the exaggerated mannerisms akin to those of an actor. (Has such a thing ever existed, really?) It's advised to play along with her for a smooth mission.

“¡Por alcanzar la estrella inalcanzable!”

"To reach the unreachable star!"'

Don Quixote (Hangul: 돈키호테, Don Kihote) is designated Sinner #3 of Limbus Company's LCB department.

Don Quixote is a rambunctious and steadfast woman with a strong sense of justice. She wants nothing more than to be affiliated with the Fixers she idolizes so heavily, and takes every chance she has to express her admiration for them. She never parts with her trusty steed, her shoes Rocinante.

She will be the focus character of Canto VII: The Dream Ending.

Appearance

Don Quixote is a short woman with blonde hair styled in a bob cut and deep, round hazel eyes. She wears the Limbus Company uniform: a plain white shirt tucked under a black waist belt, a red tie, black slacks, worn brown running shoes, and a long black coat. Her upper body is thoroughly decorated with various Fixer merchandise.

Notably, Don Quixote forgoes the Limbus Company uniform shoes and instead wears a pair of yellow shoes with the word "Rocinante" embossed on them. This name, as well as the shoes appearing rugged and worn out, references the literary Don Quixote's steed, a scrawny old work horse that was embarked on an adventure far beyond his capabilities. Don Quixote wears a variation of this footwear in all her Identities.

Don Quixote wields a massive lance named "SUEÑO IMPOSIBLE" that towers over her, indicating that she is much, much stronger than she initially appears to be. This fact is further supported by her dexterity with such a massive weapon and her effortless ability to pierce a human skull with it at short distance.

While the exact details of her Bloodfiend form are difficult to make out, as her awakening shrouded the area in darkness, she seems to swap her Limbus Company coat for one that is torn at the bottom, as well as decorated with an adornment of what appears to be red fur. Her typically-hazel eyes turn bright red and begin to glow, and her hair is notably more unkempt. Finally, as unleashing this form requires the removal of Rocinante, she is left barefoot.

Personality

Don Quixote appears as a naive person, with a childish view of how the world works. She consistently talks in an animated, exaggerated manner and jumps into any situation with enthusiasm, regardless of the death or suffering involved. She notably speaks exclusively in Middle English, seemingly in an attempt to take on a more "knightly" persona.

Don Quixote has an intense sense of justice and desire to protect the weak. This was exemplified when she violated a Taboo in front of K Corp. personnel after they forcibly separated a child from his parent. Another example being when she beat a gang member for threatening a pawn shop owner, despite this compromising the LCB’s current mission. Her desire to protect children in particular is especially strong, with her going on a nigh-unstoppable rampage upon finding a child amongst Cassetti's Bloodbags, and growing dejected upon being convinced that a deal with the Bloodfiend was the only option.

Don Quixote is extremely impulsive and has a propensity for violence, remorselessly impaling Ryōshū straight through her head in retaliation for killing Ishmael and Heathcliff during an argument. This tendency was shown again in Canto III when she pummeled Sinclair hard enough to splatter blood all over herself, in an attempt to return him to his senses. This impulsivity mixed with her insatiable thirst for justice makes it difficult for her to follow orders and often results in her endangering her fellow Sinners and disrupting plans, much to their or Vergilius' anger. After being reprimanded by Vergilius during the mission to K Corp., she has been trying to stop herself from doing so whenever possible.

Don Quixote has an affinity for anything Fixer related. She idolizes some of the most famous Fixers, such as the Grass Maiden, Siegfried, and the Red Gaze, though she has an obvious admiration for all of them, as shown in her interactions with the Molar Office Fixers and Nelly. She prides herself on her collection of Fixer merchandise, and knows a large variety of information about Fixers and Associations in general.

When her Bloodfiend nature awakens, her personality takes a drastic shift. She becomes much more serious, dropping the use of Middle English entirely, and takes an authoritative tone indicative of her high ranking as the Second Kindred. Notably, she seems to wish to remain sealed away, commanding Dante to bring Rocinante back to her upon dealing with Cassetti.

Background

Prior to joining Limbus Company as a Sinner, Don Quixote became a Fixer. It is unknown what Fixer Grade she has reached or if she was ever employed by an Office or Workshop. She once mentioned that in the past, she would often be overcome by fever and would rampage about, leaving it to her friends at the time to beat her senseless in order to return her to normal. When she stopped behaving in this way and when she parted ways with these friends of hers is unclear. During the meeting discussing Risk Levels of Abnormalities and Distortions, Don Quixote shares that she is familiar with the name Moses but strangely cannot recall why she knows the name, implying a possible past connection between her and the Distortion Detective.

In truth, Don Quixote is a Bloodfiend of the second generation and is far older than initially presented. Her knowledge of this side of herself as well as the abilities that come with being a Bloodfiend are safely contained by Rocinante. She has the instinctual need to wear Rocinante at all times, keeping her nature as a Bloodfiend a true secret even to herself. When separated from Rocinante, Don Quixote's full memories as well as the personality she had before having this part of herself locked away return to her. When this version of Don Quixote is revealed to Dante, she refers to them as "the promised timepiece", possibly meaning that she had prior knowledge of Dante's role in her life even before becoming a Sinner.

It is likely that Don Quixote was previously affiliated with a carnival in some way. In the full artwork of her LCB Sinner Identity she is near a carousel and Ferris Wheel. Another carousel can also be seen in her E.G.O beyond the cell window. Additionally, promotional artwork for Canto VII: The Dream Ending is set in a similar carnival environment, possibly the same one shown in the background of her LCB Sinner Identity.

Trivia

• Don Quixote's character icon represents a carousel horse prancing before a white star. The carousel horse reprises the symbol embroidered on the side of Don Quixote's shoes, as seen in her base E.G.O.
• Don Quixote is represented by the 🎠 emoji.
• Don Quixote's particulars are listed as "over-passionate", "[REDACTED]", and "has delusions of grandeur".
• Don Quixote is based on the eponymous protagonist of Miguel de Cervantes's novel The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha. In it, an hidalgo, member of the lowest Spanish nobility, whose main past time is reading chivalric romances, loses his mind and decides to become a knight himself, under the name Don Quixote de La Mancha, pursuing the ideals of chivalry. The novel was published in two parts, ten years apart; the second part is an example of metafiction, recounting that many of the characters within the novel have read the first part, and are now familiar with the adventures of Don Quixote and his squire.
• Don Quixote's introduction quote does not come from her book, instead referencing a line of the 1965 musical, "Man of La Mancha", an adaptation of Don Quixote. In the song "The Impossible Dream", after being questioned by the inn wench Aldonza regarding his wish to become a knight, Don Quixote describes his quest with the lyrics, "I'll always dream the impossible dream. Yes, and I'll reach the unreachable star."
  • The song is further referenced through Don Quixote's lance: its name is "SUEÑO IMPOSIBLE", meaning "Impossible Dream" in Spanish.
• Like all of the Sinners, Don Quixote voiced a "Document Excerpt" Youtube short.
• Don Quixote's running shoes read "Rocinante", referencing the name of her literary counterpart's horse. These shoes seems to be restricting Don Quixote from showing her true form, as seen in the Intervallo IV-II, "Murder On The WARP Express".
• SUEÑO IMPOSIBLE is estimated to be 2.5 m / 8'2 ft long.
• One of Don Quixote's pins (specifically the one at waist level on her jacket) is the symbol of the Purple Tear.
• Don Quixote is one of two Sinners to have a Fixer Identification Number (FID), the other being Ishmael.
• Don Quixote has 863 dreams, one of which was to sail the Great Lake in U Corp's district. This was fulfilled in Canto V.
  • This specific number is a reference to the location Don Quixote can be found in Dewey Decimal Classification.
• Before the September 5th 2024 update, the text on the coat of Don Quixote's LCB Sinner sprite used to read "Miguel" rather than "Don Quixote", referencing the author of her original novel.
  • Similarly, the text on her lance used to read "Soñar lo Imposible Soñar", literally meaning "Dreaming the Impossible Dreaming". This was also fixed in the September 5th 2024 update.
