Background / History

Adoption and Research Career

Doris is an orphan who remembers little about her earliest childhood. Dr. Gero adopted her while he was a poor, frustrated middle-aged scholar and raised her alone. She regards him as both her father and teacher 5.

Her unusual strength was already apparent when she was a young girl. Gero studied her constitution but found nothing abnormal. As an adult, she becomes one of his trusted researchers, with substantial technical knowledge and responsibility for important research documents 2 6.

Taking Charge of Jiang Nan

Doris’s arrival interrupts Gero’s preparations to dissect Jiang Nan. After Gero accepts General Red’s funding and abandons the teleporter project, she volunteers to take responsibility for the captive, ostensibly because she needs help moving her belongings to North City 2.

She removes Jiang Nan from the dissection table but places him under a lethal control collar and assigns him laboratory chores. Her protection initially remains coercive: when he obeys Fett’s order to leave their cafeteria table, she shocks him and tells him to follow only her and Gero 2 3.

After the move to North City, Doris prevents Fett from sending Jiang Nan to the soldiers’ quarters and instead gives him a room in her villa. Moved by his statement that he has no family in this world, she removes his collar, though she warns that attempting to escape the region would mean death 4.

Three Years in North City

Doris and Jiang Nan live together for three years while retaining a largely superior–subordinate relationship. She privately helps him learn laboratory skills, enabling him to build a charger for the phone he brought from his original world 5.

After catching him lifting a 300-kilogram table, she tests his fighting ability and easily overpowers him. Their subsequent conversation becomes more personal: Doris reveals her adoption and admits that she opposes Gero’s harmful actions and the Red Ribbon Army’s bloodshed but feels unable to stop him. Jiang Nan’s belief that great power should be used to protect the weak deeply affects her 5.

Papaya Island and Jiang Nan’s Escape

Gero sends Doris to the 19th World Martial Arts Tournament to record combat techniques for the android project. She requests permission to bring Jiang Nan, and the trip draws them into increasingly intimate exchanges. Together, they record preliminary matches using cameras disguised as her jewelry 6 7.

When Gero discovers evidence of Jiang Nan’s apparent lack of aging, he orders Doris to return with him—and to kill him if he attempts to escape. Doris conceals Jiang Nan’s presence during the call and invents a fuel shortage to delay their departure 7 8.

She then deliberately allows Henry’s Silver Wolf Society men to capture them, intending to create a believable explanation for Jiang Nan’s disappearance. At Henry’s manor, she breaks her restraints and kills Henry, unexpectedly triggering a blood-red transformation. She subsequently kills Pabrik and four other thugs before becoming intimate with Jiang Nan in her heightened state 8 9.

After recovering, Doris grants Jiang Nan his freedom and promises to report him dead. She refuses his invitation to leave together because she cannot abandon Gero. Her harsh insistence that they never meet again masks her reluctance to part. Returning to North City injured, she presents the necklace-camera footage and blames the Silver Wolf Society for Jiang Nan’s supposed death 9.

Discovery of Jiang Nan’s Marriage

A year later, Doris still waits for Jiang Nan to fulfill his promise to return. His former bedroom remains untouched. Searching it, she discovers his handmade charger and hidden phone, then accesses its photographs 43.

Pictures of herself initially reassure and amuse her, but photographs of Wei Jun, a marriage certificate, and an engagement banquet reveal that Jiang Nan is married. Unaware that his wife belongs to another dimension, Doris assumes he has returned to her and abandoned Doris. She breaks down in grief and anger, interpreting his earlier statements about having no family as deception 43 44.

Appearance

Doris is described as exceptionally beautiful, with long, wavy blond hair, pale skin, green eyes, and a curvaceous figure 3 5 8.

• Everyday clothing: A white T-shirt, gray denim shorts, and sandals at the original institute 3.
• Cold-weather clothing: An overcoat over a dark red, form-fitting thermal suit during the move to North City 4.
• Training attire: A black, close-fitting outfit, with her hair tied back 5.
• Transformed appearance: Blood-red eyes and markings that eventually cover her entire body; both disappear after the heightened state subsides 8 9.
• Later change: Her figure appears slightly fuller a year after Jiang Nan leaves 43.

Personality

Doris initially presents a cold, proud, authoritative manner. She enjoys Jiang Nan’s flattering address but is willing to hurt him to enforce her authority, notably using his collar to rebuke Fett during their cafeteria dispute 2 3.

Her conscience conflicts with her loyalty to Gero. She dislikes fighting and worries that successful android development would help Marshal Red impose a harsh rule on ordinary people. Nevertheless, gratitude toward the man who raised her makes outright opposition difficult 5 7.

Her attachment to Jiang Nan gradually overtakes her obedience to Gero. She plans to release him if he is selected for experimentation and ultimately deceives her adoptive father to protect him. She dislikes Jiang Nan’s exaggerated displays of fear because she recognizes that they are an act 6 8 9.

After their separation, Doris becomes gentler, more sentimental, and increasingly anxious about his absence. An author’s note attributes her heightened emotional sensitivity and unpredictability to postpartum depression. Discovering his marriage turns her longing into jealousy, hurt, and resentment 43 44.

Abilities & Skills

Unusual Constitution

Doris possesses strength that develops without an identified training regimen or biological explanation 5 6.

• Displayed formidable strength even as a young girl 6.
• Reports feeling her internal strength increase with time 5.
• Gero’s examination found no abnormality explaining her abilities 6.

Close-Quarters Combat

Her speed and physical strength allow her to overwhelm substantially weaker opponents 5 8.

• Reaches Jiang Nan and grips his throat before he can react 5.
• Sends him flying more than thirty meters with a restrained kick and pins him with one foot 5.
• Breaks Pabrik’s ribs with a punch and tears apart specially made restraints 8 9.
• Before the manor incident, her limited combat experience and dislike of fighting are identified as disadvantages against a seasoned killer of similar power 7.

Blood-Red Transformation

Killing Henry triggers an unexplained state combining rapid power growth with intensified brutality, bloodlust, greed, and desire 8 9.

• Killing produces a powerful rush of pleasure alongside increasing strength 8 9.
• Her gaze draws Jiang Nan into a similarly heightened emotional state 9.
• She retains awareness rather than becoming wholly unconscious of her actions 9.
• Her eyes and skin return to normal afterward; the passages do not establish whether the power level of 430 persists 9.

Scientific and Technical Expertise

Doris’s position rests on genuine research ability rather than merely her relationship with Gero 2.

• Produces complex handwritten calculations requiring a strong technical foundation 2.
• Guides Jiang Nan’s laboratory learning and charger-building efforts 5.
• Recognizes his handmade charger and unfamiliar phone through her knowledge of mechanics 43.
• Uses fluorescent reagent to reveal the phone’s unlock pattern, but cannot bypass the separate passwords required by many apps 43.
• Jiang Nan considers asking her to build a Dragon Radar once he obtains a Dragon Ball sample; no completed radar is documented 23 42.

Deception and Planning

Doris constructs Jiang Nan’s escape around evidence Gero can accept 8 9.

• Uses a false fuel shortage to delay an urgent recall 8.
• Feigns weakness during the Silver Wolf Society ambush 8.
• Records the captors through her necklace-camera, then presents the footage to support her false report of Jiang Nan’s death 8 9.

Equipment / Items

• Control collar: Restricts Jiang Nan to within 1,000 meters of Doris, administers electric shocks, and can kill him in response to her voice or death. She removes it after their arrival in North City 2 3 4.
• Miniature camera jewelry: Extravagant earrings and a gemstone necklace used to record tournament combat. The sapphire necklace also supplies footage for her escape cover story; her claim that it has tracking and communication functions is a bluff 7 8 9.
• Small aircraft: Supplied for the tournament mission and used for her return to North City 6 9.
• Hoi-Poi Capsule: A rare, expensive item given to her by Adjutant Black before the trip 6.

Relationships

• Dr. Gero — Adoptive father, teacher, and research superior. Doris remains devoted to him despite condemning his actions, but secretly defies him to save Jiang Nan 5 8 9.
• Jiang Nan — Initially her captive subordinate, later a trusted companion and lover. She secures his freedom and waits for his return, then feels betrayed after discovering his marriage 2 5 9 43 44.
• Fett — Fellow assistant and hostile rival. His jealousy of her preference for Jiang Nan fuels attempts to have Jiang Nan excluded or used as a test subject 2 3 4 6.
• Henry and Pabrik — Silver Wolf Society antagonists involved in her abduction. Doris exploits their attack for her escape plan and kills both at Henry’s manor 8 9.
