Dolly Dalmatian is the female protagonist of 101 Dalmatian Street. She is one of the two eldest siblings among Delilah and Doug's puppies.[4][5] Both she and Dylan look after their younger siblings while their parents are busy at work.
Contents
Personality
Dolly is a tomboy and an Optimist[3] that loves to have fun all day long. She is not too strict with the pups and likes to test her limits on her fun ideas with the other pups, even though it can sometimes be dangerous, which causes Dylan to worry. She is more adventurous and outgoing than her brother, Dylan.
While Dolly tends to go behind or against Dylan's wishes, she is still a caring big sister to all their younger siblings and can be sufficiently responsible for watching out and caring for them.
Physical Appearance
Dolly has white fur with black spots, and wears three rings on her neck; one dark blue, one light blue, and one orange. She also has spots on her legs that resemble sport bands.
Dolly's right ear spots resemble her father's, whereas her ears and face structure somewhat resemble Delilah's, her step-mother.
In one of the images presented at the Annecy film festival panel, an early version of Dolly appears and has a light grey collar with a gold pendant and appears to have more spots around her body than usual.
Design
In some early concepts for Dolly, she was only going to wear one collar, with a tag, instead of the three she wears in the show. Some of this concept art also shows that her ears and paws were originally going to be black instead of white with spots, and that she would wear a beanie on her head. According to storyboards of the pilot, she was also originally planned to be called "Daisy" before being renamed Dolly. The reason for this name change was that not only did "Daisy Dog" sound too close to "Daisy Duck", but the name "Dolly" was hilariously unfitting for the character and they fell in love with the contrast.
Relationships
Dylan
Dylan is Dolly's step-brother and closest sibling in age, as well as her partner in watching over all their younger siblings while their parents are away at work everyday. They bicker and disagree like most siblings do, especially since Dylan is a pedantic control freak while Dolly is a rebellious tomboy.
Despite this, they know when to come together for the sake of their siblings and often work well together in keeping their brothers & sisters safe and well cared for.
They have a close bond & mutual respect where it counts and appreciate each other.
Doug
Doug is Dolly's biological father. Not much is known about their relationship, but in A Summer to Remember, he embarrassed her in front of Spike by talking about an incident involving her before she was house trained.
Delilah
Delilah is Dolly's stepmother. She seemed to have a somewhat strained relationship with her at first, but after bonding at the spa in Girls' Day Out, their relationship improved.
