Dinogrrl
From GryphonWiki
Dinogrrl (or Dino for short) has been a member of the Guild since 2002. She currently attends the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, where she is studying for a geology/paleontology degree, and is considering furthering her studies overseas, either in Britain or Germany. She does, as her name suggests, like dinosaurs.
She does art, mostly of the digital variety, as a hobby, but she beads and sews as well. She also enjoys writing, playing violin, and playing video games, her favorites being DDR and Legend of Dragoon. She's a practicing protestant Christian, believes herself to be Otherkin, loves costuming, and has a pet cornsnake called Sir Jormungand the Noodle, the noodly narcoleptic epileptic midget baby Ninja snake of DOOM. Her sister Alakyl drops by the Guild about once every year and a half, or whenever she puts a bunch of stuff up on eBay.
Dino also eats newbies who wander into the chat. Don't take it personally. It's simply an initiation rite.

Characters
Dino has no set persona at the Guild, as she is a shapeshifter, instead using whatever one is most convenient at the time. She also has about eleventy people living in her head at any given time, and they just keep coming...and they won't shut up...voices in my heeeaaad...
Kia
Kia was the first persona to be known at the Guild. Kia is a genderless snow griffin with a snow leopard rear and white-phase gyrfalcon fore. His (despite being genderless, by default he is referred to as male) claws, scales, and beak are metallic lavender and his eyes are opalescent. He is roughly 30 inches long and can work ice magic, although not perfectly. He only speaks Latin, although he understands several other languages. He loves chocolate-covered raspberry cheesecake and perching on the chat room's chandelier.
Kia is the character used whenever one talks about or draws the Guild pope.
Uraby
Uraby is an Adasaurus mongoliensis, a small basal dromaeosaur. She is close to 6 feet long, floofy, lovable, and not terribly intelligent. She can only speak a handful of words, of which her favorites are 'meep' and 'banana.' She also likes to be a Pirate, although she makes a very poor one.
Uraby's older form lacked feathers except on the back of her neck.
A
A less well-known character, A is actually Dino's default persona. She is a nephil, the shapeshifting offspring of a demon and a human. Quiet, typically tolerant, and preferring to be alone, she is nonetheless quite vicious and blunt when provoked. In her full demon form she has the appearance of a dragon with blue-gray fur and a short red mane. Her eyes shift color to reflect her current thoughts and emotions.
Squink
Dino's muse, he's known for generally disliking everything, especially other muses, and not being a very good muse, sometimes hibernating for months on end. He claims to have awesome magical powers but he's never shown them to anyone, except his bamfing ability. He hails from Southern England, plays keyboard instruments, and gets very pissy at Dino when she refuses to spell things the British way.
Squink, or Lemuel (as his real name would be), generally takes on the form of a human with long silver-tipped white hair, large white-feathered wings, and purple eyes. He wears clothes in the style of the early 18th century, and a pair of glasses, due to his horrible nearsightedness.
He also has animal forms, a cat and a dragon. As a feline, he is a long-haired, silver-tipped white-furred house cat (either anthro or normal), with his trademark purple eyes, glasses, and feathered wings. His dragon form is a 30-foot-long Western dragon, with pearly scales of varying shades, and a long light gray mane. He has the ability to breath fire as a dragon, making this a particularly dangerous form for him to assume for those he dislikes (which is just about everyone, including Dino). He's also known to show up as a white-platinum veiltail betta from time to time.
Guild pope
Dino is known as the Guild pope because, as Exodite Dragon once put it (paraphrased, of course), "she's the least annoying Christian to have come through the Guild." Armed with vials of holy water and a brass censer (good for whacking people with!), this pope is not keen on sitting idle while her Guild popedom falls under attack by the cult of the Toaster, although no one, including the pope herself, is quite sure exactly who is in the popedom or what its doctrine is.
She also has a popemobile, which is sitting idle in some remote garage, just waiting...
