* AllLesbiansWantKids: In the Japanese version of the game, her paired ending with female Byleth reveals that they ended up adopting and raising many kids together.

* MaybeEverAfter: Dorothea flirts with Edelgard by suggesting that they [[RelationshipUpgrade may end up together]] during their support conversation and Edelgard [[ShipTease appears to like the idea]] but their paired ending is ambiguous as it doesn't mention whether their relationship is romantic or not.

* ADayInTheLimelight: He ends up being a pretty major character in Cindered Shadows, being almost as important to the plot as the Wolves and House Leaders [[spoiler:due to being the first to realize the connections between the Ashen Wolves and the four Apostles.]]

** If the player attempts to recruit him, and they have met the requirements, his quote mentions "My professor is so strict. So is the house leader." He still says this on chapter 12, [[spoiler:when said house leader is no longer at the academy, and should probably be raising greater concerns than being too strict on her classmates]].

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: In Part 1, this is his reaction if he's in Byleth's class when it dawns on him that Byleth may pick him to be their class' representative.
-->'''Linhardt:''' I assume you've heard about the dance competition? Have you chosen a representative yet? Or... Oh my. You haven't, have you? Have you come to tell me I'm to be it?

* BrokenPedestal: If the recruitable Black Eagles are on Byleth's party by Part II, they will feel this way towards [[spoiler:Edelgard and the Empire. This is particularly notable with Ferdinand and Petra, who both saw Edelgard as a WorthyOpponent, but will be completely disgusted with her choice of actions should they not remain loyal to her side.]]

** You wouldn't expect it given his sleepy personality, but Linhardt is one of only four or five people who can [[spoiler:cure Lysithea's two-Crests-induced short lifespan if you get their paired ending.]]

** Downplayed. She is very feminine in her appearance and is also bisexual as she can end up married to either a man or a woman and she openly flirts with Edelgard during one of their support scenes.

* BrainyBrunette: While she did some "buttering up" (which not only has the usual implication, but more ''unsavory'' things thanks to Manuela's application of the same phrase) to some nobles to get her foot in the door, she also studied and aced all of her entrance exams to the academy. Her most powerful talent is Reason, and she shows a great deal of skill at social manipulation outside of simple seduction. In some of her endings she takes various roles in government and ends up being amazing at it, most notably [[spoiler:if she becomes Petra's lover, where her diplomatic skills and advice make her irreplaceable for Petra's rule over Brigid.]]

* LipstickLesbian: Downplayed. She is very feminine in her appearance and is also bisexual as she can end up married to either a man or a woman and she openly flirts with Edelgard during one of their support scenes. In ''Three Hopes'' she laments that Gareg Mach shutting down means that she lost her best chance to meet a Mr. Right... or ''Ms. Right''.

** Dorothea is one of only ten characters to have two possible titles at the end game. Dorothea's title "Devoted Heart" ("For the Sake of Her Beloved" in Japanese) is reserved ''only'' for endings that explicitly confirm a marriage, with two exceptions: She does not get that title with Lorenz, despite the ending stating they married, and she ''does'' get that title with Petra.

* LipstickLesbian: Downplayed. She is very feminine in her appearance and is also bisexual as she can end up married to either a man or a woman and she openly flirts with Edelgard during one of their support scenes. In ''Three Hopes'' she laments that Gareg Mach shutting down means that she lost her best to a Mr. Right... or ''Ms. Right''.

* LipstickLesbian: Downplayed. She is very feminine in her appearance and is also bisexual as she can end up married to either a man or a woman and she openly flirts with Edelgard during one of their support scenes.

* IfItsYouItsOkay: An implication given her paired ending with Dorothea, but in all of her other supports shows zero romantic interest in women and cannot S-support female Byleth.

* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Dorothea has two female marriage possibilties (Petra and Byleth), Edelgard openly discusses being open to a relationship with her, Monica in ''Hopes'' pines for her almost as much as she does for Edelgard, and even Bernadetta remarks that she finds Dorothea "pretty" and "dazzling".

* BestFriend: With Edelgard, implied in ''Three Houses'' and stated outright in ''Three Hopes''. Notably this does not prevent Dorothea from potentially being recruited to another house or faction in either game. They do repeatedly reaffirm their bond, however, and are apologetic and understanding if they come into conflict. Additionally, both are also open to the idea of a romantic relationship between them.

* MsFanservice: On par with Hilda for being the biggest provider of {{Fanservice}} among the ''Three Houses'' cast, being a buxom beauty who, post-timeskip, wears a dress that shows off her well-endowed figure. Even pre-timeskip, she wears her uniform jacket partially open, showing plenty of cleavage. And that's not evening getting into how she debuted in ''Heroes'' in a bikini. However, this trope is [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]] in that she fears that suitors only see her as eye-candy and don't care about who she is beyond her physical beauty. She wants to marry someone who would love her even when she's old and grey.

* NakedFirstImpression: Her dislike of Ferdinand was caused by this. [[spoiler:He saw her bathing in a fountain in Enbarr and ran away, making her believe he was disgusted when in reality he was both entranced and embarassed. She only learn the truth in their A support in ''Three Houses'' and B support in ''Three Hopes'' when Ferdinand tells her outright or she overhears him respectively]].

** If he meets Byleth during the siege of Fort Merceus, he will say that he knew that the moment when the two would come to blows was gonna happen, and wished it wouldn't happen so soon. He then lets out a hard sigh.
