Profile
Appearance
Lady Dahlia wears a pink dress with a white shawl, a red sash, beige high heels and gold jewellery. She wears her hair up in a loose bun.
Personality
Lady Dahlia was programmed to be bossy and concerned most of the time about herself and her welfare. Sometimes she sees her erased persona in her dreams, and remembers Lady Violet's memories, but dismisses it as just being dreams. Poor Matthew is the person who takes Lady Dahlia's rage most of the time. But she has a hidden sweetness, which shows in Flora's decision to leave St. Mystere with Professor Layton and Luke. She also adores her cat Claudia, calling him her "baby" and feeling upset when he runs away (though she treats him like a female, much like the other characters).
Biography
