Name: Dinah
Alias(es): N/A
Nickname(s): N/A
Alliance: None, as of yet
Bio Sex: Female
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Age: 19
Relations: Ramkahon (brother)
Appearance: Dinah basically looks like a greyscale version of Cassandra (without the attitude). Her fur is quite short and sleek, her tail is thin, she has small ears and grey eyes. Her back is dark grey and fades to silver on her front. She’s around five foot seven and slimmer than the average cat purely due to living on the streets. She prefers wearing clothes that allow her to blend into the background. She never wears skirts or dresses; they are too difficult to manoeuvre in and place a big target on her back. She is often seen wearing black leggings with a grey or black top; colours aren’t generally welcome (especially when slinking around the streets). She usually wears shoes that look like jazz shoes but are a little tougher. She always carries a retractable knife with her in a little bag she keeps strapped to her waist (just a small hidden bag with little random things inside).
Personality: Dinah doesn’t take any crap from anyone. Being a nice girl in the wrong part of town, she’s learnt not to trust anyone, no matter how much she wants to. She’s been burned by those she trusted before, and she’s more suspicious than gullible. She’s not afraid to defend herself, and doesn’t often dwell on the consequences of her actions when it comes to attacking someone who is attacking her (in her eyes, they’re trying to hurt her, probably trying to hurt someone else, why not take them out?). She likes to sneak around and spy on random cats, as she likes to hear their stories and study their behaviour. She doesn’t do anything to hurt anyone that she is not threatened by, but will defend herself and innocents, kind of like Catwoman but not as vindictive and suave. She doesn’t regret anything that has happened in her life; it’s all happened for a reason and has shaped the cat she is today. She loves her family dearly, misses her mother and sister, and would do anything to protect her brother.
Life Story (Important for Original Characters): She wasn’t born into the best environment; she never knew her father for her mother was a prostitute. Her mother wasn’t really there for her either; she was too busy trying to earn a living not only for herself but for her unplanned daughter (but she did care for her). Over the years, Dinah’s mother became pregnant a few times, eventually giving birth to another girl and a boy when Dinah was five and eight (the other times were miscarriages due to the clients). Dinah cared for her siblings and loved them dearly, and their family, although not exactly perfect, was happy. That was until their mother decided to stop prostituting herself when she became pregnant yet again. Her boss was not pleased, and he hired two cats to attack her, giving her an opportunity to change her mind (Dinah and her siblings were fourteen, nine and six at the time). When they found her, Dinah decided that she had to protect her family from further harm. She found a knife, guessing it had been discarded during a fight, and kept it with her at all times. With her mother injured, it was up to her to provide for the family. She took care of them, before the hitmen came back for her mother (for she had not returned to work). Though Dinah was able to fend them off (killing one and injuring the other as they did not expect her), her mother died due to her injuries and she was left to take care of her siblings.
Things were even more difficult once her mother left. At 16, she fell into the wrong crowd (although, her intentions were for the best). While her siblings were taken care of by the sister of her boyfriend, Dinah was a little bit wild. She did not, however, bend to peer pressure and try drugs, however she drank heavily at times and things happened under the influence. After six months she finally made her way out of that spiral, and the gang turned on her. She took her siblings and they ran away. She lived in fear over the next couple of years, hiding her siblings while fending off strangers and finding what little food she could. She’d often go hungry while the younger two ate. When Dinah was eighteen, her sister (thirteen) rebelled and ran away, and no matter how much Dinah looked, she could not find her sister. The two travelled until near the Junkyard, as they had no other option.
