Dolores is a quiet and not very talkative girl. Unlike her classmates, she is heavily immersed in science, especially mathematics. She has a friend with whom she shares interests and has a bit of a rivalry, as shown in the school competition. She considers Jessica and her gang to be dumb girls who are trying to boost their self-esteem by bullying other people. The only classmate with whom she communicates normally is Yuna and they can even be called friends. Once they even grouped together to scare Jessica; another time they went together to get the wishing flower. She also treats Stitch well, although she openly considers him a rowdy. In addition to her hobbies for science, she is interested in other things; for example, when the winners of the "little queen" contest were voiced in the competition, Dolores was one of those who watched the results. She also has a sense of humor, as shown when she pulled a friendly prank on Yuna on the bus. Dolores also has a stronger respect for Jumba; she is interested in his spaceship and inventions and collaborated with him to create a fake monster to make a scary day.

In "Yuna vs. Jessica", when Yuna tries to befriend Jessica, Dolores advises that the way to befriend Jessica is to laugh at things that aren't funny at all.
In "Spooky Toons", Dolores travels with her classmates to an island where two students will have a scary party. Hearing Jessica show off that she's not afraid of anything, Dolores and Yuna decide to join the event to scare Jessica. They both come up with a monster and Dolores tells the class a legend that if someone sneezes that night, the ghost will haunt them. Then came Jumba and Pleakley, who decide to help them in the event. Dolores genuinely admires Jumba's intellect, looking at his starship and the equations on the blackboard. Together they made a fake monster that scared Jessica, and then comes Toons and Spooky, who fell under the influence of Hämsterviel. They revive people's fears and Dolores noticed that most of them are afraid of women. Although Dolores is not subject to the experiments, Jumba and Pleakley have written a complex equation that Dolores cannot solve, which scares her.

In "Sprout 2.0", she goes with the crew to an island in search of a wishing flower. Dolores says she wants to be the youngest astronaut in human history. Arriving there, a disguised Gantu and Reuben tell them that there is only one flower left and the team splits up to get the flower for themselves. Jessica mixes up the signs to confuse the others, but Dolores follows the compass and doesn't believe the sign. Upon reaching the flower, they fall into a trap where they are met by a mutated Sprout using 627's DNA. They capture him, and then Gantu and Reuben, and after a bit of a fight, flies back home.
In "Stitch Goes to Wishlanda", she was one of the few who was not interested in Wishland, because there only children's wishes come true, which are unlikely to help her solve the problem in science.

In "Flute", she was in class with Flute, whose math skills delighted Dolores. They made a bet that if she could solve his equation, he would dance upside down. Dolores wins the bet and Flute grants the request.
In "Witch", she, along with Yuna, Hiroman, Jessica, Toriko, and Makiko, go to a scary house to clean up for the holiday. There they find a book and a box. The book was in Latin, but it was not difficult for Dolores to read it, because she knows this language. In the book it was written not to open the box under any circumstances, because a witch was imprisoned there. However, Stitch accidentally opens the box and Dolores yells at him for it. At first, everything was fine, but then the witch began to appear and the team runs out of the house. Later, they discover that they forgot Jessica there and want to come back for her, but then she leaves the house and complains that she was forgotten. Dolores had a witch's box open and Jessica asked to close it and then calls Stitch to help her decorate the school for the holiday, which Dolores called unusual for Jessica. Then it turns out that the witch moved into Jessica and controls her body. They tried to stop her, but fall under her influence and began to dance uncontrollably. Then Jumba and Pleakley arrive and they began to think together how to defeat the witch. Dolores reads in the book that the witch is afraid of mirrors and using large mirrors, they defeat the witch and save Jessica.
