Dimitri

. : D i m i t r i : .

Maybe Big Daddie shouldn't pick favorites. If he had to have a favorite coward, it would be his big baby, Dimitri~

Position:
Looking at Dimitri, any dragon would imagine that he is one of the clan's very many pillagers. In reality, Dimitri is more of a squalling pussycat wielding one of his beloved skillets as threat. Dimitri is little more than clan cook while he cares for Zoot's Nochnyr on the side. He enjoys his time with his slow cookers and skillets to prepare food alongside other housebound mates. Though, he does profess to other clan's officials that a good belly full of food does the talking for Rouge and he. He was always a little more of a talker than the fighter and bandit of a mate and alpha he has. It upsets Dimitri that he can't bond with Rouge the way Rouge craves but... the incoherent girlish screeches through the Mire tend to scare away anything worth... well, anything.

Personality:
The clan chides too much that Dimitri is a squaller. He's really not that girly day to day. He has a warm familiarity to him which often calms hatchlings down... feeling warm not in 'mama's' arms, but 'papa's'. As playful as he is, Dimitri thoroughly enjoys being a entertainer when representatives from other clans come along, often feeding them fat and joking that he has to roll them out. With Rouge, Dimitri is a possessive boy. He can't help it when he has a man... the only man he wants. Women simply don't appeal to him, but his one daughter, he will boast, has had some beautiful babies. Dimitri is something full of himself and rather proud of the fact. Rouge might have captured him, but when it came down to it, Dimitri is the one that caught the other.

Outside of cooking and Rouge, Dimitri is something of the 'man of the house' when Rouge and the others are out fighting. Sure, there's a bunch of rough and tumble boys out there... but what about at home? Someone has to take care of the meat, the seafood, preparing for special events and making sure everyone is accounted for. It leaves Dimitri something like a den father to the younger at home. Everyone always needs something, after all.

History:
Dimitri was born within the Windswept Plateau. It was a cheerful life, hopping place to place. Eventually breeding a dragon for his only daughter, Dimitri found himself resting in the high cliffs of the Reedcleft Ascent where he slept in a daze along the cliffs. The soft wind whistling through the bamboo shoots, shaking Dimitri up from his sleep when he heard a rustle in the reeds. Dimitri froze, rearing up on his back legs to see what the disruption was. He hardly had a chance to react when he saw a red coatl with a cool smoke darting out of the bamboo. Dimitri scrambled up the cliffs with Rouge, a Plague Alpha hot on his tail. A pillager, stealing pretty boys and girls alike wasn't a stretch... nothing new but when Rouge cornered Dimitri down, he knew he had to keep him~

Lucky that Rouge was charming, otherwise Dimitri would have given him a mind of his... his skillet! If not his fist for terrorizing his chubby self up the cliffs, so he warned breathlessly. Since that moment, Dimitri couldn't help love as much as he lusted over Rouge. The feeling seemed to be mutual with the gruff older man bonding over heavy meals and late nights with his mate on the days that Zoot didn't have him.

Relations:
The center of his life is Rouge. Dimitri goes to lengths to keep Rouge happy. Knowing that Rouge loved beauty, Dimitri tries to dress himself up a little more. At the moment, he has his eye on a scarlet wooly coat to impress his mate. Feminity isn't his thing... but knowing how happy it makes Rouge, Dimitri is excited to dress up for him every time. Maybe he's a little stupid like that.

Zoot is the clan mother. To Dimitri, he can't help be a little jealous of her. Not only is she the Alpha Female, but she can bear Rouge babies... even if they ALWAYS have twins. Regardless of snapping off and arguing time to time, they have a pretty good relationship and Dimitri would never let anyone hurt his dearest friend...

His daughter? He never knew her.
