PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
At first glance, Dimitri seems distant and quiet. However, this is often seen as a farce, to hide the torment he feels on the inside and the constant stress he feels. He feels a bit disconnected from the world and will often avoid people in general. He also seems to experience melancholy, though he will not say why this is. He is often heavily affected if a close friend of his dies, but other than that, he seems uncaring about the concept of death. Due to his upbringing in High Reaches, he seems to be a bit distrusting towards dragonriders and will avoid speaking to them if possible.
HISTORY

BIRTHPLACE: High Reaches Weyr
HISTORY: TW: Death
Dimitri was born in High Reaches Weyr, his mother dying while he was relatively young. His father was a wher handler and was often busy before his death when he was six, so Dimitri was left to his own devices and was raised by his grandfather. He was often a quiet child and wouldn't speak to a lot of people, except for a couple close childhood friends.
However, High Reaches Weyr was not a kind place for those who wished to ride dragons as Dimitri had wanted. While he was raised by his grandfather who was a wherhandler, there was a lot of stress that caused for him from what candidates were forced to endure and even some dragonriders.
There were talks of people being kidnapped and even women who impressed whers being encouraged to have their whers rebonded. Even some of the kids who lived were vicious. One day, a boy was bullying a girl who's mother was a dragonrider and Dimitri got in between them. The boy had pulled out a knife and attacked Dimitri. The boy was swiftly pulled off and punished, but Dimitri was left blind in one eye as a result.
Even when High Reaches started to change and reform for the better when he was a young teenager, he was still afraid of what would happen if he befriended a dragon. The encounter with the kid had made these thoughts worse, as if it hadn't been for him..
Would that girl have been killed?
Would he be treated horribly for impressing anything less than a bronze dragon? What would happen to him then? What if he was never able to impress a dragon either? Would he be considered 'useless' for not even impressing a common dragon such as a blue or a green?
These thoughts spiraled in his head for a long time until those dark thoughts remained present in his mind. It got to the point he had a growing distrust of dragonriders and would avoid being around them. This was also around the time his depression became more visible, though, it had been for a while.
However, he did decide one thing.
He decided to become a candidate, focusing his studies the day after he turned seventeen to become a wher candidate. He became a bit numb to the entire world, disconnected and focusing on his studies.
After all, this was a safer place for him.
