Physical Appearance:
The first thing you might notice about Dileina (if you can get her to stay still for a moment) is her smile. It’s bright and wide and carefree and she seems to convey nothing but love. She stands just a bit shorter then her brother which makes her a bit tall for a five turn old girl. However factor in how tall her father and grandfather are and that is really not all that surprising. Like her twin brother Dileina is pretty proportional for her height, even if she still does have some of that baby runner leggy look to her as well. Her hair is also very blonde like parents though her color of blonde tends to stray more towards her father’s tone. Her hair is always kept longer in length, and she adores when her mother indulges her by braiding beads or feathers or something into it. She likes it when daddy braids her hair too but it’s harder for him because of his disability. Still even if the braids come out a bit lopsided her father’s braids are her favorites. They are unique after all! Her hair also has a bit of a wave to it like her parents and towards the bottom it forms little ringlet curls, especially when it’s wet.
Dileina’s eyes are friendly, bright, and expressive, In coloration they are a grey blue shade just a bit lighter in color tone then his father’s and exactly like her brother’s. Facially the girl has the more finer and elegant features of her mother, proving that though they are twins her and her brother are not identical but fraternal twins. As with her brother there could be no doubt as to the girls parentage. With even just a glance at her it is evident that she also has a blend of evenly split features between Erilena and Dmitri. In manner of movement Dileina is just a bit more graceful then her brother, but this very well could be because she tends to flit around a great deal more then he does.
Dileina tends to also be practical in her clothing choice and she tends to more often wear pants then dresses simply because you can do so much more in pants! Unlike her brother however she loves occasions where she can dress up, and if she can get her parents to do her hair in intricate ways with perhaps some flowers added to it she is a very happy camper. Overall her appearance as with her bother’s tends towards neat and tidy, though she is certainly not adverse to romping through the mud with her brother and friends as well. It’s not fun to be the perfect lady all the time after all.
Personality:
At only five turns old Dileina’s personality is just starting to develop and expand like her brothers. As with him however there are already a few things that do stand out. She’s extremely friendly and vibrant, with a tendency to want to befriend everyone. Even prefect strangers. She’s much like her mother in the fact that she is extremely warm hearted and trusting. She wants to believe in the best in everyone. Surely even that sour faced man over there could be made to smile if only someone was kind to him? Bright and happy she is not a child that is easily discouraged, even if her feelings do get hurt on occasion. Even when she’s upset though it rarely lasts long before the girl finds something else to brighten her mood.
Though Dileina perhaps doesn’t have that same suave charisma that her father and grandfather have she seems to make up for it with her pure and innocently friendly nature. After all who could be upset with or ignore someone as bright, happy and friendly as her? She certainly doesn’t have any lack of friends even if sometimes she would prefer to play alone, spend time with her mother and father, or simply just trail after her brother as he runs with his pack of friends. Dileina too was raised with strong morals and values and certainly knows the difference between right and wrong. She’s often the one who chimes in after some of her brother Emitre’s less tactful comments to try and soothe any irritation her brother might have accidentally stirred up. Sometimes she very much wonders if he even listens to himself. She knows her brother is very much not a meanie so why he sometimes feels the need to say those things she doesn’t know.
For all that she sometimes gets frustrated with him, her twin brother Emitre is still without a doubt her very best friend. The bond the two seem to share is one that goes far beyond just words and they seem to be able to communicate with little in the way of words sometimes. Being the more submissive of the two Dileina is quite grateful for her brother’s protection at times. Even if he sometimes takes his job too seriously she figures it balances out when she helps him with his more snarky behavior. The two are rarely seen apart unless Dileina feels like hanging out with her mother or Einata and is doing something so girly that Emitre can’t stand it. Even then she knows that her brother is usually still around, hanging out with daddy or maybe amusing himself with Dementia or something else. Dileina very much loves the entirety of her family, both immediate and extended, and she likes family time the best. As with her brother her favorite time of the day is when Dmitri finally gets home from work and they can throw themselves at him and use him as a human jungle gym. It’s best when mommy plays too because daddy’s so big that it would no doubt take all of them to move him.
While Dileina no doubt loves her mother it is obvious that she is more a daddy‘s girl then anything else. She adores Dmitri and his gentle ways and there is no doubt in her mind that her father is the very best on Pern. She especially likes when he plays his abacus and she can sit on his lap and watch his hands make such lovely music. Sometimes she dances while he plays like momma, but most times she just likes to sit and listen with her eyes squeezed shut to better feel the music he gives life too. Dileina loves her daddy’s stories and songs too and her favorites are the ones that have mommy in them somehow. It is obvious that the little girl quite adores her father and he makes her feel very safe. This isn’t to say that she doesn’t love everyone else in her family too, because she very much does. Lots even. She just very much appreciates her father’s gentle nature and it draws her to him like grandpa’s strength draws Emitre.
Just like her brother Dileina’s personality seems to be developing faster by the day and though some things seem to be starting to become more set, the next few turns will be perhaps the most important in shaping her base personality.
History:
3017- 3020 Birth, End of the war, Move from Weyr
Dileina was born in the early morning hours of September 15, 3017 in Selenitas weyr to Erilena of Feyrianth and Dmitri of Dmisk. One of two babies born that early morning she was born 10 minutes after her twin brother. Unlike her brother the little girl was born screaming like a banshee. Her early months were a mix of joyful, exciting, and stressful times for both her parents. Still there was no doubt that both twins were extremely well cared for. They were also blessed by the fact that their parents had such close friends and family to help care for them as well when needed. Lets face it one newborn is a challenge yet alone two newborns, especially when events conspired against their parents. (Like when the plague sickened Dmitri’s golden mandyr Dementia.)
Still Dileina and her twin brother Emitre thrived under all the care and love they were given and little pierced the protective bubble that their parents seemed to place around them. They learned to walk and talk shortly before the final battle of the Dragon Wars took place, though both were obviously too young to remember or recall anything from that time. When the Summit made it’s declarations in 3020 the twins were only two turns old and as such remembered little of the move to the hold or it’s stresses on their parents.
3020-3022 Toddler Years, The Hold
Dileina and Emitre continued to grow up in the Hold that was now their home. Their parents finally got their very own place and the few turns after the war passed mainly without incident. (Save a few minor colds and such that they picked up as toddlers.) The twins were well cared for, safe, and above all happy. Trips with grandpa as toddlers grew became common and happy occurrences and they got to both play and grow up with their uncle Elias. If there was some slight stress and awkwardness between some of the factions of the family neither of the twins seemed to notice it much or at all. Emitre and Dileina’s parents very much loved each other, the twins were certainly loved, and their small family was a very solid and stable unit.
Current
Currently Dileina spends her days in Selenitas Hold with her family. She very much enjoys her trips to the weyrs to see Grandpa and some of her other extended family. She and her brother are starting to learn their letters and numbers and Dileina very much wants to be able to dance as beautifully as her mother. Her father’s abacus is also certainly a point of adoration for her and she could sit on his lap and listen to him play for hours. Feyrianth and Dmisk are bright points of interest to the little girl and she really would one day like to have a wher or dragon for her very own. But the thing she would like more then anything right now is to learn to play on the pipes, so she can accompany her father when he plays his abacus.
