an ind. black canary, a.k.a. dinah drake. kinda selective & semi-private; limited activity. as portrayed by rhian & inspired by brenden fletcher's 2015 black canary with some personal canon.
❛ i’ve been – alright. it has been complicated for me as well, these past few weeks. it’s nice to return to a state of normalcy, even if it is short lived.
❜
after her brief time spent with the birds of prey and the justice league, tatsu was provided with information that would lead her to the organization that had part in her husband’s murder. she had journeyed to san francisco looked for justice (vengeance) but had found enlightenment. peace. her husband’s soul no longer lay trapped inside her sword. now, her priorities were learning to master the cursed weapon, to protect her mind from its corruption. for now, though, she’d enjoy a night away from training and fighting to reconnect with an old friend.
❛ touring sounds exciting. any crazy stories? met any obsessive fans yet?❜
❛ — normalcy… now, ain’t that somethin’ trippy for us? ❜
a flash of white shines between her lips for a fleeting moment at the weird irony of such a concept for people like herself or tatsu. she liked to believe that being in the band, that pursuing something more for herself than anyone else mean she was living a life closer to the norm… even if at times she felt it to be selfish at best. she’d been a hero for so long in her, or at least painted as one, it was odd not to be viewed like that as much anymore; like when someone came up and asked her autograph with an exclamation of love for her music… — and not for hero she’d been.
❛ you’d be astonished how many people’ve asked if i’d punch them or step on them or a strange variety of other such requests… ❜

P O R T R A Y E D B Y R H I A N TIMEZONE : eastern standard, us STATUS : selective / semi-exclusive, semi-private CHARACTER STATUS : please view dossier page for character bio & other info. SKYPE / CONTACT : please inquire in askbox
[ writer is OVER 18, sometimes content will be NSFW. ]
ON ACTIVITY: as i do have other blogs, all of which are in varying states of limited or minimal activity due to life and work? this blog shall follow that as well — not to mention it will begin as a voice test.
ON SHIPPING: i don’t have a lot of ships that i am bound by in my head for dinah, just know that i view her as bisexual with a heavy leaning being borderline demisexual. i also do not see her holding a preference on gender. i am open to mutually exclusive shipping, but please do not pursue it with me if you are not okay with multiship --- my blog is not singleship.
ON STATUS IN CANON: the biggest aspect i'd like for people to remember? i am writing dinah drake, not dinah laurel lance --- in that i am not including any canon from withing the arrow universe. my portrayal is mainly that of her prime earth (or 'new 52') universe with heavy influence and inspiration drawn from her current 2015 solo run from brenden fletcher.
ON GORE / SMUT: as with all of my blogs, i’m more willing to write the prior than the latter as long as it makes sense to the interaction of our muses and or character development. the latter is something i am only really comfortable writing as implied or fade-to-black.
ON PLOTTING: i am always down for this and love to plot out verses (especially au's or ship specific ones) and or new ideas! so, always feel free to hit me up by whatever means we have shared about ideas you might have!
