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 {{k|u}}-{{k|v}} or {{k|v}}-{{k|z}}, and consists of several screens: the main screen, listing their holdings and owned objects, their thoughts and preferences, a detailed breakdown of their characteristics, their relationships, their health, their kills, and an option to customize the dwarf by giving them a nickname. | The '''profile''' is an important part of the [[interface]], giving you all the information you can ever need on a particular dwarf.

It lists the amount of items the dwarf owns - usually 14 to start with, being the number of articles of clothing on their person - as well as their holdings in terms of [[bedroom]]s, [[office]]s, [[dining room]]s, [[cabinet]]s, [[coffer]]s, 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. |

The most detailed screen is the thoughts and preferences screen, accessible with {{k|Enter}}, which gives you a detailed breakdown of your dwarves' happiness and [[thought]]s, familial status, [[civilization]] membership, age and date of birth, physical descriptors (and [[wound]]s), physical [[attribute]]s, [[preference]]s, mental attributes, and [[personality trait]]s, in that order. All dwarves have two pieces of their profiles in common: "He/she needs [[alcohol]] to get through the working day" (indicating that all dwarves are alcoholics), amongst their personality traits, and "A short sturdy creature fond of work and industry" at the end of the screen (this is actually the dwarf's tagline, and will appear at the beginning for all other [[creature]]s). Non-citizens have profiles too, although these are far less detailed, only giving physical characteristics, wounds, and their tagline. | The most detailed screen is the thoughts and preferences screen, accessible with {{k|Enter}}, which gives you a detailed breakdown of your dwarves' happiness and [[thought]]s, familial status, [[civilization]] membership, age and date of birth, physical descriptors (and [[wound]]s), physical [[attribute]]s, [[preference]]s, mental attributes, and [[personality trait]]s, in that order.

Only dwarves that have actually killed things in hostile combat get kill lists, so the option is only available for those that have. Some dwarves arrive at your fortress with a few kills already under their belt. Although vampires draining others of blood count as kills, in practice their true kill lists are hidden and usually empty as part of their disguise. |
