CHARACTER HISTORY [tw: parental death, covid-19, injury, drug mention]
Growing up with a silver spoon in her mouth, it was no surprise that Dilan never had much want for anything. In Dilan’s eyes the fortune was a gift, one that supplied her with the chance to explore any brief interest for as long as she wanted.
Her marks in school were good, but her love for ballet is what kept her excited throughout her childhood. Dilan had tried many hobbies growing up, from archery to chess and while she enjoys the extra skills nothing stuck quite like ballet. She liked having something that she needed to work for, devote her time to see herself progress before her eyes. Sure that could have been done with any old after school hobby, but she couldn’t get over how it felt to be up on a stage under the spotlight.
It didn’t take her long to figure out the truth behind her family wealth, overhearing an argument between her parents on what to do about a certain ‘wild card’ and she was given a choice. Family was important, that much was even clearer as she got a glimpse into the darker side of what the Şahin name meant. She decided against it, unable to envision herself taking that kind of action — the thought of even holding a gun terrifying her for a long time.
Her parents didn’t pressure her, but Dilan couldn’t help but feel like her father wanted her to be more of a presence. Still she pushed her thoughts away and continued her life as normal all throughout high school. Graduation rolled around and she decided to study ballet right at home with Marymount Manhattan College.
The sudden loss of her mother during the pandemic hit her hard, but she was thankful for that last bit of time they were able to spend together. Dilan only wished it could have been more, that she could have done something to help, but with her constant training schedule she often found herself working past the point of exhaustion.
Two weeks after her passing was followed by a big performance for Dilan, her mind completely in a different place as she tried to execute each movement and she rolled her ankle completely out of place. Her pride wouldn’t let her fall, finishing out the performance on an injury that she didn’t want to bother anyone with. The brunette went back to the books to invest some time in first aid, treating her ankle herself until it healed and the pain went away.
She’s now in the midst of expanding her knowledge of medicine while balancing her passion for dance. Being one of the only Şahin’s uninvolved in the family business gets to her a lot, especially with her mother being gone. She can’t help but feel like she wants to do something helpful without, of course, crossing any lines so becoming a sort of “pocket healer” seemed like it would be a good enough effort, for now.
EXTRA
She met a man while dealing with her injury, one that knew his way around a drug or two allowing her to keep her spotless reputation clean and ease her pain at the same time. The only problem now is that the pain is gone and the drugs are still in her system.
She loves getting the chance to be creative. When she got the chance to move into her own penthouse within her family’s hotel she jumped on the opportunity to get to decorate every wall to her liking.
Dilan loves to shop, her closets being filled with everything from name brand clothes to having a closet completed devoted to shoes.
Dilan was the last member of her family to talk to her mom and she whispered that she never wanted Dilan to lose her like caring sweet nature and their father witnessed this and with dealings of the business and loss of his wife he just stopped bringing it up.
One of he siblings is very protective of her, while another is a little envious that gang choice was up to her. She called the envious one when her mother passed, but they didn't answer the phone thinking Dilan was randomly calling to bullshit about something.
She's the youngest member of the Şahin family.
