Dot Barrett

Dot Barrett is a first year student at Easton Magic Academy and one of the main characters of the Mashle series.

Appearance
Dot has spiky red hair and red-brown eyes. He wears an Easton Magic Academy school uniform.

Personality
Dot is hot-blooded and obnoxious, however, deep down, he's a nice guy and will apologize if he's wrong about something. He also is shown to fall in love easily.

History
Dot approaches, Mash and Lance claiming in a loud and audacious fashion that he's the protagonist of the story. He calls Mash some side character, but then the "side character" is approached by Lemon and Finn. Lemon talks with Mash while blushing and in retaliation, Dot spits on Mash's face. He then goes on a tirade on how jealous he is of people who attract women and vows to join the Bureau of magic to rid "Hot Men" from the world. Mash and the group, however, pay no attention to Dot who claims they're bruising his ego. The teacher of that class then orders both Dot and Mash to pipe down and explains the objective of that class. That is to hunt a Forest Scorpion and bring back it's corpse for a chance to be awarded a Bronze or Silver Coin. The teacher then starts the class and first to go into the forest is Dot, who flips off Mash and proclaims he won't lose to him.

Eventually, Dot appears and Mash smacks him and then comments that he wasted calories he'll never get back because of it. The two then hear a young woman scream and go to check what's wrong. Apparently a female student is in distress by a male student and so Dot casts Explomb on the male student. Trying to keep his cool in front of the young lady, Dot fails after she touches his hand and thanks him.

Magic
Normally, like all single-liners, Dot only possesses an average amount of magic power. He, however, was born with the Ira Kreuz, a warding cross. When his emotions spike, his true magic power unleashes, making him a battle demon. Kreuz is german for "cross".

Spells

 * Explom (エクスプロム, Ekusupuromu): Dot's personal magic. Creates exploding fireballs.
 * Machinegun Explom (マシンガン エクスプロム, Mashingan Ekusupuromu): Creates multiple exploding fireballs.
 * Explomb (エクスプロム ボム, Ekusupuromu Bomu; Lit. Explom Bomb): Creates a magic circle that explodes after a set time.

Relationships
Dot has a good and caring relationship with his older sister.

Trivia

 * In the official English translation, Dot’s name was originally written as ‘Daut’. However, it was later changed when series creator Hajime Komoto clarified that it was spelt ‘Dot’. This mistake was likely due to the katakana that Komoto used not having a direct translation into English.
