Description[]
Appearance[]
In The Legend of Vox Machina, Dohla was a red dragonborn woman.
Biography[]
In around 795 PD, Dohla was part of an adventuring party with Allura Vysoren, Kima, Drake Thunderbrand, Sirus Kaldrem, and Ghenn Talevesh. They sealed the ancient red dragon Thordak in the Elemental Plane of Fire with the help of the Arcana Pansophical, at the cost of the lives of Sirus, Ghenn, and Dohla herself, who died fighting against the dragon.[1] Their bodies were buried in the cemetery of Byroden.[2]
The Legend of Vox Machina[]
In the alternate chronology of the animated series, Dohla survived the encounter with Thordak, but felt slighted when Allura and Kima were greatly rewarded, even getting positions in the Tal'Dorei Council, something Dohla would have wanted for herself. Thus, she returned to her home in Draconia, where she was welcomed.
Years later, during the Chroma Crisis, Allura and Kima accompanied Vox Machina as they were looking for a way to access the Hells, and contacted Dohla, since they knew Draconians had access to a portal. The dragonborn, now a member of the Draconian Assembly, welcomed and helped some of the adventurers cross to the Hells. As they waited for them to return, Kima, concerned about Dohla holding a grudge because of a past heartbreak, asked her about her past feelings, but the Draconian told her that while she had had a crush on the paladin in the past, years had passed and she hadn't even thought about it. Shortly after, however, when Vorugal attacked the area, Dohla revealed that she did hold a grudge against her former teammates, who had been greatly rewarded after defeating Thordak, while she had been ignored. The dragonborn had made a deal with Vorugal, who had promised to spare Draconia if she helped him find Vox Machina, and while Allura, Kima, Percival de Rolo, and Vex'ahlia tried to escape from the white dragon, Dohla used her magic to slow them down; however, her temper irritated Vorugal so much that he ended up eating her.[3]
Relationships[]
In The Legend of Vox Machina version of the character, it is implied that she had an unrequited love interest in Kima of Vord.[4]

Trivia[]
- In Critical Role no details about Dohla's ancestry or class have been given, so this article uses the aspects of her visual portrayal in The Legend of Vox Machina as reference.
- It has been suggested in the fandom that her design (a red dragonborn with blue clothes) is a reference to Tiberius Stormwind, a former member of Vox Machina in Campaign One who was also present in Draconia when Vorugal attacked, died because of the white dragon, and had unrequited feelings for either Allura or Kima.
