–Dulcinea, Canto VII: The Dream Ending | ||
Dulcinea is a Second Kindred Bloodfiend and the overseer of Area 3 of La Manchaland. She is an antagonist in Canto VII: The Dream Ending.
Appearance
Dulcinea is a thin woman with pale skin and sleek platinum blonde hair, which falls over her forehead and reaches down to the floor. She wears a dark purple layered ballroom gown with lilac flower embroidery, decorated by a large purple bow, a black and white corset with a deep neckline and dark purple shoulderpads and detached sleeves. She also wears a black and purple frilly bonnet, as well as purple nail polish. Her face is covered by a butterfly-shaped mask, and her left eye can be seen glowing red behind it. Dulcinea carries a large, frilly parasol, which she utilizes in combat.
Personality
Dulcinea is a bitter and nihilistic woman, clearly discontented with her role as the "Princess of Parade". Despite her role as a La Manchaland Overseer and high status as a Second Kindred, Dulcinea sees herself as powerless, viewing herself as just another attraction of the Parade, doomed to go around in cycles for the rest of her existence. She talks poorly of all people, including herself, but holds particular bitterness towards Don Quixote, envying her ignorance of her role and life outside of the park.
Story
Two hundred years prior, Dulcinea was assigned to the role of La Manchaland Area 3's overseer, where she would appear at the head of the parade as its primary attraction. At an unknown time, Cassetti would join her as "Prince of the Parade", until running away and meeting his end during Intervallo IV: Murder on the WARP Express.
During the events of Canto VII, Dulcinea is encountered on top of her parade float when the Sinners are going through Area 3. When she is confronted by Don Quixote, the two have an argument where Dulcinea remarks that she hates Don Quixote’s oblivious nature and freedom. This is interrupted by Romero, now a Bloodbag donning a Parade mask, attacking Dulcinea before being quickly disposed. Afterwards, her battle encounter begins.
After the end of the battle, Sansón appears and warps the area around into a stage play. This results in Don Quixote removing Rocinante and revealing her true persona. When Don Quixote releases her Bloodfiend form, Dulcinea remarks that the preparation for the parade is complete. Upon Don Quixote unsealing the Ferris wheel in Area 4 and causing the Golden Bough within to create a Fathoms of Egos, she would make her way to the First Kindred.
Once the party reaches the center of the maze-like dungeon, she, alongside the Barber and the Priest, reveal what happened to Don Quixote when she left, before stating their intent to kill the Sinners to feed their father. However, having yet to recover from the wounds she received from before, she and the other overseers are killed.

Trivia
- Dulcinea is based on Dulcinea del Toboso from Miguel de Cervantes's novel The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha.
- The literary Dulcinea del Toboso is the imaginary lady that Don Quixote swears fealty to, loosely based on one Aldonza Lorenzo of the village of El Toboso. Although Don Quixote imagines Dulcinea as a high-ranking lady and the model of female perfection and beauty, the real Aldonza Lorenzo is an ordinary peasant girl who is entirely ignorant of Don Quixote's shenanigans throughout the novel.
