Name: Dinah
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Rank: Apprentice or Journeyman?
At what age did they Impress? 18
History:
Dinah is the child of two members of the Wher Guard - all but one of her grandparents were handlers as well. Dinah never wanted to be a dragonrider; the boys get the good colors, with the exception of gold, and there aren't enough of those to risk Standing for and getting picked by one of the little colors. And besides, dragons and riders are a little too co-dependent for her tastes; at least if a wher or wherhandler dies, the other half of the pair can move on. Recognizing whers as vastly superior for their toughness and and just being all-around better, Dinah pursued wherhandling eagerly, and was diligent in all her training. Her intention was and still is to make her wher will be the best damn watch-wher anyone ever saw.
It took time for her to receive her partner, in part because she was 'held back' from a few clutches as punishment for fighting, but also because she was waiting for exactly what she wanted: for her grandfather's gold to lay a gold egg. Finally, the day came when she got what she wanted, and shortly thereafter, Dinsk hatched. It also turned out to be her grandfather's wher's last clutch, as Garsk died less than a turn later.
Appearance: Stands 5'6", of mostly average build, but a little on the muscular side of the spectrum - Dinah takes fitness very seriously. Her hair is straight and red, and she keeps it cut to her shoulders. Blue eyes.
Personality:
Dinah is, first and foremost, tough. Her capability for endurance, both physical and mental, is high. She can deal with just about anything you throw at her, and she's proud of it. She's proud of that image, too, and cultivates and maintains her tough persona very carefully. If she gets sick or hurt, she'll do her best to hide it, and if she can't, she'll at least play it off as not being a big deal. She has no tolerance for weakness - or the appearance thereof - in herself, and the same goes for the rest of the world. She despises weaklings and whiners who can't pull their own weight, and she won't hesitate to let them know. This makes her into something of a bully, who pushes others around (verbally or physically, depending on the situation) in an attempt to toughen them up...or, failing that, to at least get them out of her sight. Accordingly, her temper is incredibly short, and it doesn't take much to provoke her into an argument or a fight. Early on it tended to get her into trouble, but by this point, most people who know her know to stay out of her way, so serious episodes have become fewer and farther between.
If Dinah likes you, though, she really likes you. She respects 'her' kind of people: capable, dependable ones who don't shy away from work or life. Even moreso than physical strength, what she really appreciates is intelligence. If someone is up to her standards, she wants them to be her friend, to the point where she might even try to badger them into it - the best need to stick together, after all. Even among friends, she can be pushy, whether it's with advice or just with what they should do tonight. Her sense of humor, unsurprisingly, can be abrasive and occasionally mean, although she doesn't really mean it when it comes to her friends...not that she has all that many.
Wher Name: Dinsk
Wher Image: x
Wher Personality:
Dinsk is relatively agreeable as whers go, in that she obeys her handler with little fuss, making her easy to control. So long as her human is with her, she poses almost no real threat to others - although she could easily convince you otherwise! Dinsk puts on a good show, with aggressive posturing and threatening noises, but would only attack if given leave by Dinah, or if someone were stupid enough to ignore her displays.
It takes many meetings or a blooding for the gold to accept the close proximity of new humans, and she only tolerates nearness from other whers during a Run; otherwise, she requires a significant radius to be comfortable. Once she has been blooded to another person for familiarity, she not only accepts their presence, but can become somewhat affectionate. Most of her affection, of course, is reserved for Dinah, to whom she is obsessively devoted.
Why this handler?
She hatched, Dinah fed her. xP
Anything else: Wasn't sure about background/if it was acceptable for someone's first wher to be gold - anything needs changing, let me know!

APPROVED! Fey and I talked about it, and her grandfather's wher being the original gold is a good enough reason for her to get a gold egg. :3
