Comics
"This is so, DRAMATIC!"
―Dee Dee

Dee Dee Dorcas Holloway is a major character in the Big Nate series, especially in the novels. She is most recognizable in the school for being a member (and president) of the Drama Club. Her interest in drama extends to her overreacting to small situations, as noted by Nate Wright. Her father is a construction worker and according to Nate, he looks beefy. In a nutshell, she is a drama queen (which Nate explains about the life and death of Dee Dee). She loves being complimented about how good of an actor she is.

Personality

Dee Dee is commonly noted for acting like a "drama queen," taking things very seriously and overreacting to even the slightest flashback. Examples of this include performing her report on Calvin Coolidge as an interpretive dance, believing ketchup on her elbow is blood, crying over her being the only one whose bean plant had died, and somehow doing a pirouette without touching the ground during the Long Jump (seen in Big Nate: In the Zone). She is also highly intelligent and caring, providing aid for her friends in sticky situations. She is later revealed to be a good artist. However, in the 2019 comics, Dee Dee is seen to have a bit of a personality change. She no longer appears to be all caught up in the drama, but a bit calmer and such.

Dee Dee's favorite words to say are "Dramatic" and "Fabulous!".

Appearance

Dee Dee wears earrings and a green sweater. She wears rectangular glasses like Gina. She dresses up for most holidays, as seen in Big Nate: Lives it up, during the centennial, she was wearing a giant party outfit, or when in the same book, dresses with a dress on the day of the scavenger hunt.

Relationships

Jim

Dee Dee's current boyfriend is Jim, but he has not been seen or even mentioned since they got together.

Nate Wright

Although Nate is constantly annoyed by Dee Dee's tendency to act like a drama queen, they are still very close friends. Although their relationship was to remain entirely platonic, several fans believe that they would make a good couple.

On October 15, 2019, it was revealed that Artur Pashkov had a crush on Dee Dee. When Nate asked Dee Dee if she shared feelings for him, she gave a firm no. She was upset that Artur had feelings for another girl besides his girlfriend, Jenny Jenkins. Artur was relieved when Nate brought back the news, as he had decided that Jenny was the girl for him.
