A strictly schooled child of immigrants, Dotty resisted her natural instinct to be a loner and became a gang leader instead, who brooks no disrespect. Married to another mobster, Dotty was the actual brains behind their operation. She planned, executed and organized robberies and kidnappings, including the kidnapping of Merv Biskowitz whom she decided to kill even after receiving the ransom. Unfortunately, her bravado put her in the sights of an enemy whose attempt on her life left her with only one leg. Her injury has only emboldened her, however. Her fake leg has taken more damage than the real one ever could.
