Skill:
Alchemic Scrolls:
Small scrolls that Di carries with her on missions with ancient runes carefully inscribed on them to destroy demons. The symbols inscribed upon them allow for various transmutations and reactions to cast various spells and use attacks. Di writes the symbols on the scrolls herself, and she has a lot of blank scrolls in her dorm to use. Each scroll can be specialized for certain demons if need be, but they generally aren't inscribed like that. Just in case, however, Di does almost always have spare scrolls, ink, and a quill on her at all times.

Minor Skill(s): Flight, acrobatic agility
Weapon: Scrolls
Weapon Type: Magic/ long distance
Combat Style:
A Dinah often stays back and attacks from long distances as she uses her scrolls. They can get in the way of close combat and her team mates, so Di has found that staying back works out better for most everybody. However, if the fight comes to her she knows basic close combat and won't get herself killed. Di's also been known to use her scrolls to wrap demons in if she runs into she can't destroy and needs some help.

Personality:
Protective
_{Dinah is protective over her family and friends. Don't mess with them, and you won't have a problem with the generally kind-hearted hybrid. You mess with them and she'll never forgive you.}

Loyal
_{Loyal as a dog is one way to describe Di. She'll never turn her back on anybody, and will always be there when you really need her the most.}

Quiet
_{Di is soft-spoken when she does talk, and she doesn't even talk all that much. She's basically silent and most people would be convinced she was mute if not for the occasional blurb of two or three words.}

Loving
_{Despite her young age Di is a very matronly young woman when she's in a good mood. She just wants to take care of everyone, and is very much a mother-hen.}

Defensive
_{Due to being antagonized everytime she went into town for being a "mutt" and a bastard child Di is naturally defensive over herself and her brother. She often takes things the wrong way and tends to get upset over them.}

Witty/Sarcastic
_{When Di's in enough of a fit or comfortable with somebody her sarcastic nature emerges. She seems to generally have some kind of remark for most everything somebody says, and loves to point out faults and flaws in logic in particularly bad moods.}

Home Region: Amber
History:
A Dinah is the "eldest" of two twins(by a few minutes). Dinah and her brother, Alasdair, were raised by their single mother who was a Chinchilla hybrid(Their father left before they were born). She struggled to raise her two children well and proper, but they were very poor and it wasn't always easy to get food on the table and make sure they all had good clothing. As such the two young mutts were often left on their own while their mother worked all day to keep them afloat. As a result they were often off exploring the forests and trying to scrounge up things to eat. This worked out pretty well as the children would often bring back some herbs, or berries, or other such things to add to their meal. As the two got older they began to search in wider and wider ranges. Eventually they started going into town to search for work to help their mother, who was getting elderly. The twins found a job delivering packages around their small town for a few coins a package. It wasn't much, but it was better than nothing. By doing this they were able to help with their own living. For a while life was better.
One day, however, Alasdair couldn't find his sister when she was supposed to have been back from a delivery. The younger of the two mutts was scared and confused as he searched for his older sister frantically. When he found her hours later the teen was frantic. His sister was laying, passed out in the snow. Terrified he hoisted her up and rushed his sister back home. For the next month Dinah was sick off and on and was struggling to stay healthy and try and help her family. Eventually, she realized that she really couldn't do anything while she was ill the young teen finally rested herself.
After fainting in the snow Di was weaker even after her recovery. She still delivered packages, but it often took her longer and Alasdair would accompany his sister in many cases. One day she had to deliver a few components to an old alchemist in the town. The man was too busy working to notice her, and so the mutt watched as he worked. Finding herself endless interested she asked what he was doing. Startled the alchemist turned around, noticed the package in her arms and laughed a bit. The rest of that day was spent in his workshop being taught the basics. From there Dinah would try and spend every free moment in her new found mentor's work shop and for a year she learned under him.
It was soon after the year mark that Dinah heard about Enhalo. After a talk with her brother the two agreed to go together. It took a few weeks to make sure their mother was properly set up and cared for before they set out for the school.

Overview:
Due to her father abandoning their family Dinah finds herself having trust issues, but she is a very kind and loving person who wishes to help others whenever she can. She knows what it's like to be poor and starving and to never have enough, and as a result she wants nothing more than to make sure nobody else has to suffer like that again.
However, Dinah can be withdrawn to those she doesn't know and sometimes even defensive and rude if she's upset or angry. If one knows her well, or she's gotten past being nervous around you, you'll see Dinah's more fun-loving and sarcastic side.

Miscellaneous:
Dinah and her brother often spend a lot of time together on campus
She doesn't really like the uniform as she feels awkward flying in it, but Di's a stickler for the rules.
Dinah has two studs on either side of the bridge of her nose, a lip ring, a barbell in each ear, a plain earring in each ear, and two studs on her collar bone.
