Dolly Rose is a beautiful young mulatto woman whose charm and cutting wit have had many men fight duels over her. She often enters into the arrangements of being taken care of by white gentlemen, but they are frequently ended due to her wild behavior or temperament. She enters into one such arrangement with Vincent Dazincourt and gives birth to his daughter who dies at the age of four due to lockjaw. This loss drives Dolly into a wild grief and she attends parties directly after, staining her reputation within the community, but she is only trying to come up with a way to distract herself. She also is a childhood friend in Christophe, and she carries a fond and loving memory of him. She is angry about this within herself as Christophe is a man of color and so she is often cruel to him.
