The profile is an important part of the interface, giving you all the information you can ever need on a particular dwarf. The profile is accessible through u-v or v-p-z, and consists of several screens: the main screen, listing their holdings and owned objects, their thoughts and preferences, and an option to customize the dwarf by giving them a nickname.
Breakdown[edit]
Holdings and owned objects[edit]
This is the main screen and is relatively simple. It lists the amount of items the dwarf owns - usually 10 to 14 to start with, being the number of articles of clothing on their person - as well as their holdings in terms of bedrooms, offices, dining rooms, cabinets, coffers, etc. (and, if they are nobles, their requirements in this regard). This is the easiest way to check on the quality of a dwarf's housing.
Thoughts and preferences[edit]
The most detailed screen is the thoughts and preferences screen, accessible with Enter, which gives you a detailed breakdown of your dwarves' happiness and thoughts, preferences, and any special traits. All dwarves have one piece of their profile in common: "He/she needs alcohol to get through the working day" (indicating that all dwarves are alcoholics). Only citizens can have their profiles viewed.
Customize[edit]
The customize option, accessible with y, allows you to give a dwarf a unique nickname and a custom profession. It has mostly two uses: giving your dwarves cool surnames and helping with identifying individual dwarves.
