Puss in Book: Trapped in an epic tale
In Puss in book: Trapped in an epic tale, Dulcinea is the evil Queen. The storyteller, aka Fartholemew Fish-flinger tricks Puss into thinking that choosing the Evil Queen would have brought him to the end of the book, but that wasn't the case, and Dulcinea had only about three minutes on screen in Puss in book: Trapped in an epic tale.
Personality
She is a sweet, kind, and compassionate young cat who loves children and teaching. She admits in episode 8 and 11 that she sometimes chases mice but isn't proud of it.
She is the teacher in San Lorenzo, giving the orphans a moral compass to follow and helping them determine right from wrong. She loves the children so dearly, so much in fact that she's willing to sacrifice herself to save them.
She is naturally naive, leading her to trust people easily. When the magical protection spell over San Lorenzo fell, however, she learned to curb this innocence and found that most, but not all people were good. She is also passionate about her beliefs and is willing to stand up for those beliefs and those she loves. Because of this passion, she can appear stubborn and will let nothing stop her once her mind is made up.
She is also intelligent, well-read, and believes that the brain always beats brawn. Basing her life around her favorite book the Wee Compendium of Facts and Fun has given her a perspective on things that is unique. Miguela wrote it. She uses this book to teach those around her good morals and honest lessons, even helping Puss a few things in the process.
Dulcinea often uses The Wee Compendium Of Facts And Fun’s wisdom to help with problems in her life and those she cares about’s lives. She has also based a large portion of her life on the book, and occasionally uses it to act as Puss's conscience.
When faced with the corrupting powers of the Scimitar, she remained mostly herself throughout the entire thing, resisting the sword's powers longer than anyone else. Even after several hours when the sword finally got close to doing so, it couldn't force her to kill Puss.
In the rare cases that she loses her temper, she proves to be a fierce fighter, defending her friends and the orphans from danger, despite rarely trying to issue legitimate harm on anyone. She often manages to keep angry outbursts under control, using logical and emotional empathy to calm herself. However, when Jack Sprat, an old friend of Puss appeared in town, he managed to aggravate her to the point where she was yelling and withdrawing herself, surprisingly provoked by his invasion of her personal space, boastfully showing off, and calling her "Goody Two Shoes". After her outbursts she begins questioning who she was, unable to properly process negative emotions towards others.
She is heavily opposed to dishonesty, scolding those around her when they sway from the straight and narrow path.
In Small Change, Dulcinea falls into the Fountain of Sass Mouth, she becomes very sassy and didn't really care for San Lorenzo or anything. She finally though gave in to Puss and said " Release!" to release the spell.
Relationships
Señora Zapata
Senora Zapata and her share the responsibility of caring for the orphans. While Dulcinea favours a caring and supportive parenting style, Zapata is strict, scolding the children when they have wronged. Dulcinea remains patient towards her but disagrees with her ways.
Puss in Boots

As early as Episode 15, she shows signs of having feelings for him, telling him "You can't leave me! I mean us!" when Puss decided to leave San Lorenzo after being cursed with bad luck. In Episode 51, this relationship is furthered when the two take each other's hands and rub noses with each other. In Season 5, they hug many times and became each other's Crispintines. In season six they attempted to kiss twice and gave each other romantic gestures. In the Episode Pajuna serves spirits they Both reveal that they are there heart's desire and, lastly at the series finale, "And, Having Writ, Moves On" Puss and Dulcinea grow close to each other and, after Dulcinea resurrecting him with a kiss on the side of his mouth, and they shared their first kiss before Puss was sent back in time.
