Dorshe

 (ドルーシ, Dorushi) is a character in Ousama Ranking and its anime adaption. He is one of the Big Four of the Bosse Kingdom, known as the "Queen's Shield". He is Queen Hilling's personal guard, and leads her other bodyguards.

Appearance
Dorshe is a large, broad-shouldered man with a bald head and thick eyebrows. He has a scar on the left side of his mouth.

Personality
Dorshe is an earnest man with a somewhat gruff exterior, but he has repeatedly proved himself to be an incredibly loyal and caring individual.

Though they have a very formal relationship, Dorshe deeply respects Queen Hilling and in turn she trusts and relies on him.

Plot
Dorshe was the first "King's Spear", or personal attendant/warrior to King Bosse. After Miranjo's first attempted rebellion, Bosse came to believe that Dorshe's personality was unsuited to the role, and reassigned him to protect the new Queen Hilling instead.

Initially upset by this, Dorshe was given the opportunity to decide whether or not Hilling was worth defending, and if he decided she wasn't Bosse would reconsider his position.

Though he was put off by Hilling's brusque personality at first, Dorshe quickly realized that the young queen was just awkward around other people, and actually cared deeply for those around her. When later questioned by Bosse as to his decision, Dorshe informed him that Hilling was worth defending, something he believes is true of everyone. Dorshe has served as the "Queen's Shield" ever since.

Due to his station as the Queen's Shield Dorshe has been absent from most of the events surrounding Bosse, Bojji, and Daida. Likewise he did not have knowledge of the Magic Mirror, and was not involved in most of the Bosse Kingdom's court intrigues.

When Miranjo returned Dorshe proved instrumental in defending Hilling, and repeatedly defeated the numerous Underworld hounds sent to kill the young queen. An exhausted Dorshe was even able to briefly resist Gigan's attacks, and managed to destroy the gigantes' massive warhammer during a confrontation in the castle courtyard. Dorshe continued to fight despite losing his left eye and left foot during this encounter.

Dorshe remains unfalteringly loyal to Hilling, even as Miranjo's attacks have sunk the kingdom into chaos.

Hilling
At the end of the season 1 Hilling fondly holds Dorshe's arm. It is not clear if they will have a relationship in the future.

Superhuman Strength
According to Bosse, Dorshe is the "sturdiest" of the Big Four. He is enormously muscular and has repeatedly demonstrated superhuman strength in confrontations. Dorshe is so strong he can even fight while wearing especially thick, heavy plate armor that can repel most physical attacks.

Hand-to-Hand Combat
Dorshe's physical strength paired with his experience make him a devastating hand-to-hand combatant. Even his signature weapon as the Queen's Shield, a pair of spiked bucklers he wears on his forearms, are designed to assist him in close-quarters combat.
