Dord

Dord (ドルド) the middle brother between Garm and Myrd, is renowned for his exceptional craftsmanship. After their exile from their homeland, Dord, his brothers, and Kaijin played a crucial role in establishing the Jura Tempest Federation. In the early days of the federation, Dord focused on overseeing dyes and crafting high-class attire. He now works with his brothers and Kaijin under the leadership of Minister Vesta in the Ministry of Science.

Appearance
Dord, like most dwarfs, has a short stature and brown skin. However, he stands out with a plump build, in contrast to the typical muscular dwarfs. His distinguishing features include a bushy brown beard and mustache, along with brown hair. He is often spotted in a white shirt that accentuates his rounded figure, featuring detached brown sleeves. When engrossed in his projects, Dord consistently dons carpenter gloves and brown boots.

Personality
Dord, like his brothers, isn't known for being deceptive. He's straightforward and doesn't have much skill in telling lies. He's somewhat clumsy when it comes to everyday tasks. Dord has strong opinions about dyes and clothing, and he particularly enjoys crafting garments for beautiful women. He often collaborates with Shuna, primarily because he has a crush on her due to her cute appearance. He takes great pride in his work and never hesitates to compliment himself when he completes an attire.

Background
Dord, the middle child of the three dwarf brothers, played a vital role in their family dynamic. While Garm, the eldest, was known for his skill in crafting armor, and Mildo, the youngest, was a versatile savant in various fields, Dord distinguished himself with his intricate handiwork. His craftsmanship was respected throughout the kingdom, earning him a reputation for precision and attention to detail. However, despite their exceptional individual talents, the trio faced a significant challenge in their lives. None of them possessed the business acumen or the ability to lay the foundation for a successful career. They struggled with basic tasks and often found themselves in situations where others took advantage of their skills.

Their unfortunate experiences included entrusting their shop to an unscrupulous apprentice who stole it from them and facing mistreatment from the government after mishandling a ministerial request. In desperate circumstances, they turned to Kaijin, an old friend who had been like a fourth brother to them in their youth. Kaijin, despite wishing they had sought his help sooner, welcomed them and offered them a safe haven. Kaijin, however, had limited work opportunities for the brothers in his battle gear merchant business. He manufactured weapons himself and couldn't immediately terminate his existing contacts. To keep them occupied, he had Dord and his brothers direct a team of laborers in mining for ore and other essential materials.

One fateful day, while Dord and his brothers were diligently mining for magic ores deep within the mine, they encountered a formidable threat: an Amasarus. This powerful creature attacked them viciously, leaving the brothers seriously injured and in dire need of assistance. Their desperate situation took a turn for the better when a rescue team arrived just in the nick of time. The rescuers administered a life-saving potion, generously provided by a slime named Rimuru Tempest. This miraculous potion worked wonders and managed to save Dord and his brothers from the brink of death. It marked the beginning of their connection with Rimuru and the extraordinary events that would follow.

As a chain of unexpected events unfolded, Dord and his brothers found themselves exiled from their homeland. However, their new benefactor, Rimuru, along with their longtime friend Kaijin, joined forces with them. Together, they embarked on a remarkable journey that involved not only aiding in the construction but also contributing to the eventual development of the once humble Goblin village, which would ultimately transform into the prosperous and thriving Jura Tempest Federation.
