John Dory

Appearance

John Dory is the oldest member of BroZone. He has blue skin, green hair that's shaved in the back and sides, and blue eyes. He wears a brown leather jacket with a white and dark-brown spotted fur collar, green pants that go down to his knees and signature green skiing goggles with a pink lenses. He also wears a brown glove on his right hand. He is apparently the second shortest brother after Floyd, and also the largest built out of the five brothers.

Personality

As the eldest of 5 brothers, John Dory was the leader of BroZone, which brought him great pride. But this created a large ego to match his status as BroZone's leader. He is described as a bigger than life character and a "bossy big brother", as being the leader of the group meant he had to look after his brothers. Yet despite this, the pressure of being both the older brother and the band leader led him to make constant bad decisions. Constantly trying to make BroZone better, he set standards for them to be perfect they could never meet as a way to deal with that difficulty, and made promises to his fans he could not keep. He also obessed on the one thing that he never could get him and his brothers to achieve as BroZone achieving the perfect family harmony, but he would force them to live up to their "roles" in the band in such way that he would ignore their own personal growth each brother was making. Towards the end of his career, everything would coming crashing down as he made decisions without thinking or consulting his brothers. He also blamed them rather then himself for their groups failures. When they broke up, John Dory was the first to leave. He became a hermit in an attempt to break his rumination with achieving perfection and to break the psyche that had plagued him from being the leader of BroZone and, in this way, to become a better older brother. While he became skilled in being a survivalist, he is a terrible planner, with a reckless approach of acting heads-on.

Personality

Despite his attempts to loose his obession, he actually had spent years ruminating on BroZone's failures and break up and jumped to conclusions and presumptions about how things would be. Thus, he automatically tried to fall back into his roles and presumed his brothers would. This undid any progress he made in the 20+ years away from his brothers. When he was called out on his old behaviors by all of his brothers, he tried to justify his actions and revealled he was still obessed with control and perfection. John Dory had expected respect throughout Trolls Band Together but had been reluctant to give it. By the end of the movie, John Dory has finally embraced the interests of his brothers, thus is a now changed Troll.

Relationships

Brother Clay, Spruce, Floyd, and Branch

relationship

Queen Poppy Although a bit offended when Poppy unintentionally calls him old and doesn't have a strong impression on him, John Dory and Poppy hit off quickly as good friends, with John giving Poppy a photo of him as Baby Branch's perm and telling Branch she was a keeper. However, while happy that she is accepted as Branch's romantic partner by John, she disapproves of how John treats Branch like a baby. After the mission of rescuing Floyd, fortunately, John and Poppy are still on very good terms.

Relationship

Rhonda Rhonda is John's trusty armadillo bus. He always drives her around, and he takes good care of her. Rhonda in turn is fiercely loyal to him and vice versa

Relationship

Velvet Upon learning that Velvet has abducted Floyd, John has developed an instant hatred for her, even more so after she also apprehends him, Bruce and Clay. He is therefore glad that she gets publicly humiliated and arrested for everything she put him and his brothers through

Skills & Abilities

He has most normal Troll abilities.

Music

John Dory was a member of BroZone and the groups leader, once the most popular of the Pop Trolls boy-band. Poppy was familiar with them as their music was played long after their split. John Dory was also the song writer and wrote all the songs for the band. However, the "BroZone" vinyl album shown in Trolls Band Together suggests towards the end John Dory was getting lazy as the Side B of the album has songs titled "Baby Baby Girl", "Girl Baby Baby" and "Baby Baby Baby Girl Woman". The similar names hint John Dory was running out of creative ideas, something that possibly came from the immense pressure he was feeling at the time from being the band leader. He also was behind the bands choreographer and organized their dance moves to perfection. He lead their dance moves, while they followed his cues. John Dory was determined to achieve perfect family Harmony, a feat never been done before but said could shatter diamonds and move of his actions regarding music and dancing were dedicated to achieving that end goal. A goal, which ultimately John Dory himself never successfully pulled off.

Survival Skills

Very much like Branch, John Dory had learned a very wide set of survival skills that allowed him to live as a hermit in total social isolation for two decades. This is seen how he was able to infiltrate Velvet and Veneer's dressing room to rescue Floyd and then evade it with great ease, something that Branch was only able to do with Poppy's help.

Driving

John Dory has been driving his house bus, the Armadillo named Rhonda, for many years and perform daring maneuvers with it.

Leadership

He was the leader and businessperson at the peak of Brozone. Even if he had started as a reasonably good leader (as he led BroZone to become the most successful boy band ever known), the fact that he couldn't separate his role as older brother from his role as band leader caused him to make bad decisions and disregard his younger brothers, what was the main reason for the band's breakup.

Psyche

John Dory is not the smartest member of BroZone. Though he was the creative mind behind much of BroZone's hit songs, he was very bad at grasping situations that lead to the bands split. And towards the end, he seemed to be exhausting his creativity. In addition to his bad leadership, and signs of his creativity being pushed, he displayed signs of not being intellectual in Trolls Band Together. He fell for Velvet's fake letter from Floyd, and thought he could easily get the band back together and was shocked when Spruce and Clay ignored him to make a fuss of Branch. The most notable moment was when he parked in a parking space labelled "BroZone" at Mount Rageous, leading to the capture of Clay, Spruce, Rhonda and himself, an act his two brothers called him out on after their capture. He was also ignorant, having expected warm greetings from Branch, Spruce and Clay and was shocked when all 3 were not happy to see him. He also keep expecting to be acknowledged for his band days, but getting annoyed when no one did.
