Jophiel (Dina Ayres)

[attr="class","appcontent2"]
Though quiet and studious, Dina is extremely strong willed and will fight tirelessly for what she believes is right. She is strategic, though sometimes predictable, and unlike her brother merciless in battle, but never uses her skills or energy for personal gain or to harm someone viewed as innocent. When not on the battle field she can sometimes come across as a little intense but can easily become more inviting towards others with time. When angered or upset she will immediately close herself off to others, not even letting her brother console her, until whatever is bothering her is resolved. If threatened or if perceives someone as a threat to someone she cares about it is the only time she reacts with without hesitation. Though not vengeful, her dedication to justice can sometimes be mistaken for retribution. She is a person who feels strongly towards things and voices them loudly, even if she knows she shouldn't. Everything she invests her time and energy in she does so with complete focus and with intense emotion but has a tendency to let her passion control her every day decisions. Dina always prepares to defuse an intense situation first by negotiation but unlike her brother if necessary she wont shy away from a bit of bloodshed in the name of justice. Because of her connection to her mother being severed shortly after her creation Dina can sometimes become blinded by her obsession to feel loved and needed, and will go out of her way to make someone feel comfortable and appreciated in order to enact the same response from them.

Dina lives with conviction and honesty but does not make it an effort to force others into the same belief system as her. Instead of judging as most other Angels do she sees the beauty in everyone, especially humans, and tries her best to show others the beauty around them as well as the beauty within them, though despite this has trouble seeing the beauty within herself and can be considered almost oblivious to it. Her loyalty can almost be outmatched by this, and if you claim a spot in the angel's favorite list she would forever show her gratitude. But don't let her nurturing demeanor fool you. The passion from her convictions often times becomes the better of her, and if pushed past her breaking point can become unreasonable. Dina is highly sensitive to her surroundings and emotions, and if confronted with an uncontrollable circumstance can be easily pushed into making irrational decisions in order to achieve whatever goal she has set in mind, at whatever cost necessary. Graceful on both the battlefield as well as in flight Dina prides herself on her dedication and skills, but like a child has a hard time not showing off on occasion. She accepts any challenge thrown at her, no matter the odds, but knows her limits -thought she gladly pushes them- and isn't too prideful to accept defeat.

[attr="class","appcontent2"]Dina was not born, but created into existence by the mother Goddess, among the first generation of what the humans would later call Angels. The youngest of twins, Dina along with her brother were the last to be created before the Demi-Gods began corrupting their innocent minds and forced into exile. Dina played only a small role in the fight against the newly tainted Angels due to her late arrival but still played a major part in the lives and culture of the humans below and would be mentioned in the scriptures that would later come to be their belief system. During her time on the mortal realm she was glorified by humans in her duty to protect the The Garden of Eden on the mortal plane, and would come to be the hand behind the sword of fire that would cast Adam and Eve from their paradise for their transgressions. The true story behind the garden, the sword baring angel, and the exiled pair would only be remembered by Dina but with time the woman chose to allow the humans to believe what they wanted out of respect for the humans.

Though not born in the same fashion as a human Dina was created at a young age, and as she grew into her adult form she was trained by the Silver Cross in combat and strategic maneuvers alongside her twin brother. The young warrior honed her skills for centuries and excelled to a level that caught the Arch-Angel Micheal's attention. With her flaming sword she brought - so she believed anyways - justice to any Demon who faced her wrath, relinquishing them of the very thing that tainted them and returning them to their original state. And with her brother and their mentor by her side she felt unstoppable. With time, as things progressed, Dina eventually resorted to dealing finishing blows to any demon who harmed a mortal and eventually other rogue angels as well, and in cases deemed necessary did so without prejudice, though was often scolded by her brother in doing so.

Along with the other ArchAngels and Demon Lords Dina was too possessed by a Demi-God but unlike her brethren wasn't entirely aware of her older siblings presence until after she took over the Garden of Eden. At first the feeling of something foreign inside her made her skin crawl but once the Demi-God revealed its true plan for her she accepted the passenger within her, even acknowledging her as a part of her rather than a separate entity hitching a ride.

At the time of the mortals beginning to understand how the world worked around them her mentor conceived a child -that, unlike other Angels- Dina felt something she had never experienced beforehand; envy. As time went on the baby would come to grow strong, faster, and overall simply better than her, quickly rising through the ranks where as it took her centuries to master the same skills. However instead of turning against her mentor's son and going after the very thing that pulled Micheal's attention from her, she used her energy to better herself rather than take his affection by force, and devoted her time into helping and teaching the other angels.

During this time she spent a lot of her time on the mortal realm as well, spreading her love and knowledge while learning from them in return and relaying what she learned back to the other angels. When the ArchAngels and Demon Lords convened for the Accords Dina was present but remained a fly on the wall while her brethren came to terms with their new deal. However when news of Michael's disappearance reached her everything but finding her lost mentor's whereabouts became obsolete. Obsessed with finding out what had happened to her beloved mentor she began searching for him, eventually separating from the Silver Cross -though keeping her ties with them close- in order to pursue her own investigation on the matter. Though without substantial evidence Dina became convinced the very Angel she had become envious of centuries earlier may have had something to do with his fathers disappearance. No one but Leo had something to gain from it and with that fact alone Dina made it her mission to discover the truth.

In doing so she has thus moved to the mortal realm permanently, and has taken up the occupation of Professor at a university in the Biblical History & Literature department in order to both educate humans and possibly gain access to area's deemed unacceptable otherwise. She is currently seeking any way possible to gain intel on the whereabouts of Michael as well as uncover the truth behind the rumors of his son being nothing short of shady.
