Dolton has adapted to the small-town rhythm, working hard during the day and relaxing at the saloon in the evenings. He's developed a strong working relationship with Willie and has become best friends with Sandy and Sam! Although generally well-liked in town, Dolton keeps to himself more than some locals... those who take the time to get to know him better discover a thoughtful, caring man beneath his reserved exterior. He has a slight rivalry with Sebastian. Meet Maple.
A pet rabbit with a cheeky personality! Maple is Dolton's beloved companion and occasional messenger. She's playful, loves to eat, and surprisingly smart.
Personal story and motivation. Moving from Zuzu wasn't just a search for peace: in the big city, Dolton felt like he was losing himself in the endless hustle and bustle and expectations of others. He longed for a place where work had a clear outcome, and people knew each other not by their chat names, but by their work. That's why the docks have become almost like a personal anchor for him—he appreciates when everything is in its place, and the rhythm of work helps him maintain inner balance.
Musical tastes and their role. For Dalton, metal music isn't just background music, but a way to process emotions he rarely expresses out loud. Sometimes, after a hard day, he sits by the water with headphones on and listens to something heavy and rhythmic—it helps relieve tension. And his love of rhythm is directly linked to drumming: for him, it's almost a meditation, a way to express what words can't.
A connection between passions. For him, fishing isn't so much about the catch as it is about the silence and the opportunity to be alone with his thoughts. He loves early sunrises on the pier, when the city is still asleep and the water is calm. Caring for maple trees is another form of silence and care: Dolton views it as a small personal project, requiring patience and attention to detail. Mastering (most likely referring to audio mastering) is his quiet hobby, in which he tries to combine his love of music with his penchant for meticulous work.
Relationships with others. His friendships with Sandy and Sam are built on mutual respect and the absence of unnecessary pressure: they don't try to force him out of his shell, but are always there if Dolton needs to talk or sit in silence. He has developed a special working partnership with Willie: they rarely chat without meaning to, but understand each other perfectly through gestures and short phrases—the kind of bond that develops over years of working together. A slight rivalry with Sebastian adds a little fire to his life: it's not malicious, but rather sporting, and sometimes even helps Dolton step out of his comfort zone.
Little habits and details. Evenings at the saloon are his way of staying connected to the city without losing himself. He doesn't seek to be the center of attention, but enjoys observing life around him, listening to other people's stories, and occasionally throwing in a few quiet remarks. He has a favorite mug that he rarely lets go of, and a habit of tapping his fingers to the beat of music, even when no one is listening.
The role of Maple. Maple the rabbit is his little outlet and a way to relax a little. Her boldness and mischief contrast with his reserve, as if reminding him that there's room for lightness in life. Sometimes he entrusts her with symbolic "errands"—for example, delivering a note or simply being there when words aren't needed. For the townspeople, Maple has become almost like his calling card: if they see the rabbit, it means Dolton himself is nearby.
