Dorcas

Dorcas Lane is one of the main characters on the British historical drama series "Lark Rise to Candleford". She runs the post office in a small English town in the late 1800's.

Dorcas is a fictional character in the TV series: 'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina' (2018-). She is one of the Weird Sisters along with Prudence and Agatha. Dorcas is played by actress Abigail Cowen.

What happened to Dorcas? I put poison in his mutton.
In all seriousness, this was used in Fire Emblem 7 for a minor character that uses an axe.

Dorcas is one of the names listed by the character Bert in his song, "Jolly Holiday" in the movie MARY POPPINS.

The name of a shepherdess in Shakespeare's play The Winter's Tale. I have to play her in a performance I am in, though I am not a huge fan of the name. It has a nice meaning, however, I'll give you that.

I used to read a book series by Nancy N. Rue called The Salem Years, really awesome series. There was a baby in it named Dorcas.

And to the anonymous commenter: home schoolers are not home prisoners, that's a very common misconception. :)

Dorcas was a character in the book Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes.

Dorcas Meadowes in Harry Potter. We don't see her, but Mad-Eye Moody said to Harry that Voldemort probably killed her himself. (Which leaves suspicions. Normally, Voldemort lets his servants kill the ennemies. dum dum dummmm)

Dorcas Gailen is Julie Newmar's character in "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers".

During the Salem Witchcraft Trials, 5-year-old Dorcas Goode was hung for witchcraft. I DO like the name, sorry if that's put anyone off it.

Dorcas Goode was indeed accused of witchcraft and sent to prison but she wasn't hung. They released her after a year, but by then she had gone insane.

Dorcas is a character in one of the Fire Emblem video game series. A very unfortunate sounding name if you ask me.
