Dolpi

Dolpi (ドルピー) is a humanoid Dolphin from Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea. She is one of Wadanohara's current familiars.

Physical Description
Dolpi has short, dark gray hair cut into a bob style; her dorsal fin protrudes from the top of her head and is somewhat small. She has black scleras with white pupils and a dolphin tail matching her hair color.

She wears a dark blue sleeveless sailor-like dress reaching around hip-length with dark blue cuffs. The pocket edge, collar, the edges of the cuffs, and bottom of the dress are accented with white stripes. The dress has six golden buttons on the front and two matching buttons on each cuff. Dolpi wears white stockings and black buckle up shoes.

Personality
Although scared of sharks and other scary things, Dolpi is normally nice and quiet. She loves to draw like Memoca, but Memoca constantly scares her for fun. She is easily startled and grossed out. It is shown she sometimes speaks childish, simplistic sentences that can occasionally be grammatically incorrect. Often times, these sentences only use one, two, or three words.

However, despite her timid and fragile personality, when something she cares about is being threatened (i.e. the sea, Wadanohara, etc.), she acts very angrily and doesn't seem to be fearful. In the manga of Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea, she is seen chasing Memoca with an axe, which could mean she has some kind of disorder.

Background
Not much is currently known about Dolpi's past.

Memoca
Memoca is Dolpi's friend and a fellow familiar of Wadanohara. Memoca enjoys teasing and scaring Dolpi for fun; these shenanigans are usually put to an end by Fukami or Wadanohara. In the manga, Dolpi chased Memoca with an ax for teasing her too much.

Fukami
Fukami is Dolpi's friend and a fellow familiar of Wadanohara.

Samekichi

Natural Abilities

 * Nigh-Absolute Immortality - Like all non-human characters in the Deep-Sea Prisoner Universe, Dolpi cannot die from natural causes such as aging or disease.
 * Animal Transformation - Being a dolphin, she is able to switch between a humanoid and animal form.
 * Underwater Breathing - Being a dolphin, she can naturally breathe underwater.

Trivia

 * Dolpi's name is derived from her species, "dolphin."
 * Most of her moves seem to be based on dolphin show moves.
 * Many fans mistake her as being male.
 * As stated in the physical copy of volume one of the manga, her favorite color is yellow. Her favorite food is cute steamed bread. Her specialty is playing the ball and dashing.
 * Dolpi is afraid of sharks, even though in real life, sharks are the ones who usually fear dolphins.
 * She has a sword as her favorite weapon.
 * She is mistaken as a shark sometimes, evident by Chlomaki mistaking her as one.
 * In the English version of Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea translated by vgperson, Dolpi is known as Dolphi. After the release of the game, Deep-Sea Prisoner changed the romanization of her name present on her character page to Dolpi. Why her name was changed was unknown. One possibility is that the name change was meant to preserve the Japanese pronunciation; whereas Dolphi would be pronounced as "doll-fee," Dolpi would be pronounced as "doll-pi," which is closer in line with the Japanese pronunciation.
