Your Character
She becomes your patient when Rafael brings her into the ER with smoke inhalation. It is later revealed that she had preeclampsia (characterized by high blood pressure in pregnancy), which is dangerous for the baby and would force her to give birth prematurely. She refuses to have surgery due to the chance that her baby could die from being born too early.

Prior to that, she realises that she lost a stuffed frog she bought for her baby during her lunch break, and you have the chance to offer to go with Ethan and retrieve it.

Ethan Ramsey
When Ethan finds out that Dolores is your patient, he comes with you to check on her. It is revealed that they are good friends, and that Dolores was Ethan's very first patient when he was an intern. She came in with a broken appendix, and because she was freaked out, Ethan calmed her down and eventually they kept in touch for a bit over the years.

In a premium scene in Chapter 4, Ethan tells you that he and Dolores knew each other for over 10 years, and that when he emailed her for the first time, it was just to check in. However, she was recently divorced and alone, and she was insisting for a coffee. This soon turned out into more emails, and meetings every couple of months for Sunday roast. Ethan mentions that he was very grateful for their friendship because he didn't make friends that easily.

Trivia

 * Her character model resembles Eliana Vera from The Senior, and Amalas from The Royal Heir.
