So much love for this rune Loki! He's gorgeous <3
Owner Name:
~Bast~
Name:
Dimka
Gender:
Female
Personality:
Despite her dark coloration, Dimka has a bright personality like the volcano he was born in. Her life is focused on her owner, and her favorite thing is making Bast smile, or even better, laugh. It goes without saying that Dimka is ridiculously loyal, and overprotective of the one that makes her life so bright. She knows that it is unlikely that anyone would want to hurt her... but taking that risk is not an option, regardless. She is also curious, and inquisitive, and has dragged Bast all over town in search of a smell, or the source of a sound that interested him. Dimka gets along with almost everyone except those who dislike Bast; however, it does take awhile before she "warms up" to strangers (excuse the lame puns hehe).
Why do you wish to have her:
Well, I wasn't really intending to go for her, because I was worried about how she would fit in with Aludra and Serca... But I kept thinking about her and coming back to her page to admire her, and it got to me. So I just adore her theme, and I'm almost constantly cold, so I wish I could have a gorgeous heat-source like this beauty. She also reminds me a lot of my energetic border collie, so her personality is based on Gypsy just a bit. <3
How does Dimka interact with Aludra, Cei, and Serca?:
Aludra enjoys Dimka's bright cheerfulness- it reminds her of Spring, and she is very appreciative of the protection Dimka offers her summoner. Aludra knows that both she and Serca have enemies that could be a potential threat to Bast, and Dimka's unwavering devotion gives her the peace of mind to run errands that require her to go alone and leave Bast behind.
Serca loves the fresh view Dimka has on the world- Dimka's happy, optimistic view often makes Serca reevaluate how she sees things, something crucial for a rune devoted to stories. Serca also enlists Bast and Dimka to help her track down elusive stories. Dimka seems to have a sixth sense when it comes to finding things, and that extends to facts that Serca needs =D
The Folklore Rune (Cei) adores Bast's bright protector. For her part, Dimka is very fond of Cei as well, and has taken to guarding the little trouble maker as he searches for new substances to sculpt. The two get along swimmingly, and when he is tired, Cei can be spotted on Dimka's back sleeping between her wings. There is no safer place in all of El. <3
Where will you keep him/her:
My characters rotate through my siggy- I change out pieces of art about once a week, and everyone gets a chance in the spotlight. In addition, all my runies have a spot on my character thread, and I am in the process of making a thread dedicated to them, so Dimka would have an entire post just for her and all the art I intend to do and commission for her.
Would you like to breed him/her in the future:
Most likely- I think any of her offspring would be epic and lovely in the extreme.
Any Quirks:
Dimka is full of funny things she does. Dimka loves games like tag and chase, and occasionally when she runs or focuses really hard, she sticks her tongue out. She also has a fondness for spicy food- the hotter the better XD
Other:
Dimka knew the moment she felt the presence searching through the dormant volcano where she had waited all these years that she had found her partner. The floods of lava had long since ceased to flow here, and still Dimka stayed. What else was there for her? No heat rose from the walls, and no light from the fires. Just her, until now. Should she go find the human? Sit and wait for the human to find her? What should she be doing? Should she pose and look regal? But Dimka couldn't help herself; she couldn't wait, and she took off to find the person.
Dimka followed her gut feeling, and raced through the dark hallways like a comet through the night sky. There, there, there! Dimka had found her! A girl- well, young woman really, dressed in cargo shorts and a tank, clearly on some sort of expedition. And a shocked look on her face. The lady clearly hadn't expected a large dog-sized flaming rune to explode before her, excited and prancing in place to find the person she had waited so long to meet.
And then Dimka saw the others. She hadn't even noticed them earlier, but she saw them now. A tall, willowy woman with thick flowing brown hair, and a sense of power stronger than any person should have. A brown rune with the wisdom of ages in her eyes and shining gold rune on her wings. And cradled in the human's arms- her human- a baby rune with glowing white marks, eyeing her rock formations like a sculptor eyed marble. She hated them all. No one should touch her person but her.
"Hello?" the woman began cautiously, "I'm Bast. Would you like to introduce yourself?"
Dimka tried out her voice for the first time in a decade, "I am Dimka, and I am yours."
"Mine? I've never met you before" she responded incredulously. The woman behind her frowned and placed a hand possessivly on Bast's arm. And it bothered Dimka.
"Yes, yours. I am Dimka, and you are my bonded. I feel it."
"But Cei is my bonded. His mother is my close friend and companion, and I am Aludra's summoner. But I do feel you too..."
A new voice joined in the mental conversation. A weighty voice with all the power of a season behind it.
"I have yet to see a Scoria rune not know their fated companion." she said. "I also have yet to know a Scoria rune that could bear to share their love with more than one person."
Dimka scoffed and replied, "I can share. Or I can learn" she added. "Anything is worth knowing why my heart calls to her."
Dimka could see Aludra weigh her words, and then nod her agreement. Then Serca landed before her, dwarfed by Dimka's size.
"Bast has duties beyond just wanders- a summoner of the Ancient of Spring has responsibility to everything."
"And I would protect her in those duties."
The graceful rune nodded in acceptance and turned to the small rune in Bast's arms.
"And you would play with me?" Cei asked plaintively.
Dimka smiled, a bright sunny smile that shone brighter than the heart of a volcano.
"And I would play with you too!"
