It is the perfect name for those seeking a connection with history without losing elegance.
A Dulcinea is pure energy and charisma, with that natural ability to be the center of attention without borrowing it. She has a gift for diplomacy and knows exactly when to use a joke to disarm anyone. She is not one to hold grudges; if something bothers her, she says it with a smile and that's it, because peace is her priority. She is loyal to the core, but watch out, don't cross her if you disrespect her, because she has more sharp edges than a snake.
