"Papa says I'm too friendly with strangers, but you seem alright."

―Dorthe^[src]

Dorthe is a Nord child. She is the young cousin of Hadvar and daughter of Sigrid and Alvor the blacksmith, who both live in Riverwood.

BackgroundEdit

She is her father Alvor's self-appointed apprentice at the forge and looks forward to make her own weapon someday.  She can usually be found inside her parent's house or around her father's forge.

Dorthe is also known to send Hired Thugs after the player, if he/she chooses to steal from Riverwood.

Dorthe is good friends with the only other child in Riverwood, Frodnar, although sometimes he plays mean pranks on her. Dorthe can be seen sitting on the bench outside Sleeping Giant Inn talking to Frodnar and his dog Stump. They also occasionally play tag or hide-and-seek.
