Player: Erin
Character: Azula
Relevant threads: Link 1, Link 2
Brief summary of CR: Antagonistic. Azula was forced to become Dinah's pet and hunt down the Embers after she was caught murdering Peony, an Elite Rebel sympathizer, during one of the Embers missions toward the beginning of the game. Dinah allowed Azula to live on her own in Eos Tower but was otherwise awful to her. Later on, when she failed to capture any Embers during Spark's escape, she refused Dinah's commands (which were lewd and indecent) and was thrown into prison where she was sexually tortured by guards for three days during the caste switch. She and Zuko decided to get revenge on Dinah, who was now Azula's pet, by torturing her in return. Zuko stops Azula from killing Dinah in the end and Dinah leaves, finding another way to break her contract.

The last correspondence I had (with GRRM in early August) was that Dinah would be getting her own revenge against Zuko and Azula in September by use of Charlotte. While we had previously discussed a scenario, this is now up in limbo with the mod change so if Eris and Nyx would like to continue down this path of awful, let me know.

Player: Kat
Character: Samus Aran
Relevant threads: brief meeting
Brief summary of CR: Not much to speak of and very indirect but worth a quick mention;

Once upon a time the Midas Embers tried to blow up the ETCC and Samus and Levi helped incapacitate Flint in the act. Samus was rewarded because she was an elite and Levi was sent to trial because he was a mongrel. Levi's trial resulted in him becoming Dinah's dog in lieu of being put down like one. He was not a very obedient dog. Samus heard rumors about it, however, Samus and Levi ended up banging in an alleyway regardless because screw taboos.

Then Sergio tries to sneak some boxes with nasty fancy friendship bracelets into Dana-Burn with Levi being one deliver-er and Samus being a box interceptor. The boxes don't make it into Dana-Burn, but Tanagura equates this act as Samus "defecting" to the Midas Embers. Eventually Dinah punishes Levi for being disobedient and makes him lick her boots and that alleyway bang is alluded to. Samus and Levi continue to foster their CR and Samus generally dislikes Dinah for how she treated Levi.

tl;dr probably could've started out as professionals at work, but choices were made and at the end of the day Samus isn't a huge fan of Dinah and it seems the feeling's mutual.

Player: aki
Character: Levi
Relevant threads: Link 1, Link 2, Link 3
Brief summary of CR: Well, most importantly, he was her very disobedient pet from the end of January to the end of March... but I can tack onto Kat's (Samus-mun's) very helpful summary here with my own input!

After the Midas Embers and the ETCC debacle, Levi was not a fan of Dinah or the Embers. He conspired to bring one of Sergio's presents Spark's way under the premise that it would give Sergio the one up in their rivalry, but was left out on some important details about the bracelet itself. After he received Dinah's punishment for his participation, he was prepared come March to switch alliances for the lesser of two evils. (Tangentially, it was plotted out between GRRMod, another player and myself that Sergio would also attempt his comeuppance on Levi by sending some goons out to inject him with aphro. Some bitter just desserts, if you will, because Sergio was bitter about the repercussions with Dinah.) This is what instigated Levi to help the Embers with the failed Flare factory mission and eventually join them in name.

In late April, Levi's comrade from home, Hange Zoe won a dinner with Dinah in the tournament for Pluto. During the dinner, Dinah threatened his upcoming execution, but this didn't come to pass. He remained a wanted fugitive until Geneva's pardon of the Embers on the date of Spark's execution, where he chose to pursue Sergio over Dinah.

He still harbors some particularly ill feelings towards her, though currently avoids seeking any confrontation.

Player: Batty
Character: Kaname Chidori
Relevant threads: Link 1, Link 2, Link 3

Brief summary of CR:
After the brief encounter at Emerald Tower (Link 1) Kaname Chidori did not have very many conversations face to face with Dinah, but because of her status as a Pet to Peony (who had been involved with helping Embers member Tinder) Kaname had been subject to Dinah's ill will. After Peony failed to bring Tinder to custody (Link 2), Dinah in turn took custody of Kaname. Chidori was held for 3 days in prison, sexually assaulted during her time there, and was injected with a slow acting but powerful aphrodisiac before returned naked to Peony (Dinah had wanted to send the message, "I took your toy, played with it, and threw it at your feet").

In the events leading up to Spark's execution (Link 3) Kaname had called Dinah's office, and only reached a secretary (the mention of gift from going into Dana-Burn was a monetary reward with Dinah's signature on it for sneaking in there).

Player: Charles
Character: Rin Okumura (this account) and I guess technically Macha (fatewebs)
Relevant threads: Link 1
Brief summary of CR: Basically none, but I'm confirming that Rin was present at least in a small capacity at the incident that got Flint killed. This was significant enough for Khepri to collect him up later, and Dinah was there, but it probably is nothing. Macha was also one of the people who took up Dinah on her tdm prompt of doing it in front of her for a goldbyte.

Player: Rei
Character: Jade Curtiss
Relevant threads: tdm 1, 2 (Dinah doesn't actually appear in these), PRCA, meeting in the City Hall, reporting his failure, Flare factory (Dinah wasn't there, but she watched the surveillance tapes), being rewarded: take ii
Brief summary of CR: hahahahah HOO BOY

Jade's first run-in with her was all the way back in the first tdm, where he performed for her (twice...) and got some mad $$$. Then came the pet auction, where Jade alerted her to Flint's location and gave her some valuable information: Tinder's real name.

Dinah rewarded him with some information of her own: the true(???) nature of the glitch in the interdimensional travel system. They end up striking a deal - in return for capturing Tinder, Dinah will get him a position in one of Tanagura's labs.

(At this point, Dinah also casually threatens him using his bff Peony as leverage. Peony was caught on surveillance tape urging Tinder to escape the PETCC, and Dinah wasn't very happy about that.)

Jade enlists Peony's help in trying to capture Tinder, but they fail. He reports to Dinah and is forgiven...probably? IT'S HARD TO TELL WITH DINAH...

In February, Jade (unsuccessfully) infiltrates Dana-Burn and meets Striker. Dinah gives him a silverbyte for his efforts over the palm reader.

March sees Jade trying to defend Flare's factory from the Midas Embers. For once, he succeeds...sort of. (ftr Dinah watched the surveillance tapes of everything that went down in the factory, so I'll just quickly run through it here!) Peony had defected to the Embers, and he and Jade run into each other during the Embers' mission. They talk, but before they come to a conclusion, Jade is attacked by one of the other Embers (Yuber). Peony defends him, then Azula (another Ember) stabs him for being a traitor. Jade flips out and unleashes a meteor storm inside the factory, heavily injuring Zuko and Tinder (also Embers), then passes out himself. He's carried out by Samus (Tanagura's Most Wanted, yet another Ember) in her powersuit, along with Zuko and Tinder.

(Dinah sends him a silverbyte as thanks for defending the city. Fuck youuuu, Dinah.)

April is the tournament for Pluto. Although Jade entered the tournament, he lost. More importantly, he recognized Striker and (in a handwaved interaction) alerted Dinah to her presence. This results in Striker's death, and Pluto being taken into Tanagura's custody.

Gracious as always, Dinah offers him a reward. He asks to know more about resurrection technology. Dinah refuses, rubbing all his failures in his face and mocking him about Peony's death. Jade asks to be made an elite and given a lab position, and this time Dinah agrees, assigning him to Maia.

Then the caste flip happened and Jade ditched her and never looked back.

NO NOT REALLY he's just been busy dealing with his own affairs, now that Peony had been revived. He'll probably seek her out sooner or later... In the meantime I apologize for all this tl;dr

Player: Mandie
Character: Peony Upala Malkuth IX: the dead version
Relevant threads: Her voicemail, She has a grudge
Brief summary of CR: I waffled on posting this since Peony does not remember Dinah, but in the end I decided she would remember him. Refer up to Jade and Kaname's comments for the background! Everything is basically already covered I think. Peony made some bad mistakes and was soft on Tinder's cute little face and Dinah saw it. He tried to make up for it at first, but in the end he couldn't make himself force Tinder to come out for capture like he originally planned with Jade. He handed Flint's belongings over to Tinder and that put him on Dinah's bad side for the rest of his short life.

And when he died, she took his living will and he didn't come back. Harsh, man.

The current Peony has been told to look out for her and I also played her as trying to pay him for putting on a show in the tdm when he came back, but he declined and she flew off. Maybe she was seeing if he somehow remembered her, maybe she just wanted to mock him - who knows?
