ダルシネア
A fictional female character from the classic [[spain|Spanish]] novel [[Don Quixote (novel)|]].

[b]Dulcinea del Toboso[/b] is an imaginary noble young woman who is unseen in the novel. [[alonso quixano|Don Quijote]] believes he must have a lady, under the mistaken view that [[knight|chivalry]] requires it. As he does not have one, he invents her, making her the very model of female perfection.

Dulcinea's name is based on the [[spanish text|Spanish]] word "dulce" (sweet), and suggests an overly elegant "sweetness". To this day, a reference to someone as one's "Dulcinea" implies idealistic devotion and love for that "sweet" (or "the sweetest") woman.
