Dobby is a brave, loyal house-elf, willing to put himself in dangerous situations when he knew it to be the right thing to do. He was also very loyal to the few friends he has. He considers himself to be a good house-elf, though other house-elves seemed to find his desires and proclamations of being a free house-elf to be shameful. He is now free, living and working in the kitchens of Hogwarts. He is very fashionable, in a maximalist sense, he loves socks and clothes. He's a workaholic.
