Disin is a relatively level-headed, quiet and soft-spoken lioness. But when a problem arises, her first instinct is to fight it out. Since a lot of problems are with the Burkuteshti, she has plenty of outlets to scrap.
When issues arise with other Qyrhyeshti, however, she has to be more tactful. She can be very petty and passive-aggressive in her quiet way towards other pride members if she knows it's not appropriate to physically fight. If she's caught in a battle against the Burkuteshti where she's with the object of her scorn, she'll take her sweet time before coming to help them.
She thinks of herself as an ideal Muharip and doesn't wish to be anything else, but sometimes, late at night when she's all alone, she thinks it wouldn't be too bad to be Hatun some day. She's very reluctant to take a mate, because then the possibility of her secret dream would be gone in an instant.
A hot day in the Baj-jer, an adolescent Disin was out on patrol with another lioness, a sandy-coated female named Kumlu bint Taş. Kumlu had thought Disin hadn't been overhearing the gossip, but Disin knew. This other lioness had been griping about being partnered with Disin, she'd rather be with her friend, and besides, Disin had a dark coat, she wasn't even suited for the desert.
Disin suffered her company in silence. Sometimes her partner would try to feign interest and talk to her, but Disin wasn't fooled, and she never answered. They were making their way home, another uneventful watch completed, when they were ambushed. It was another pair of Burkuteshti on patrol, and they decided to pick a fight.
The Qyrhyeshti were at a disadvantage, having been taken by surprise. Disin began to fight tooth and nail, and one of the enemies was driven off. She saw Kumlu still struggling instead of leaping into action, she hesitated. Her eyebrows knitted together and she bit her lip. The lioness was finally getting what she deserved, but she was a Qyrhyeshti. Maybe if she just got a little sense knocked into her... Kumlu suffered a hard blow to the shoulder and cried out for help. She was shrinking back when the enemy was about to land the final strike. Now was the time for her to act. Disin leapt into action and took the lion's claws straight to her face, narrowly missing her eye. Working as a team, the two were barely able to drive the final Burkuteshti off. They limped back to the pride, once more in silence, and after that, Disin never heard any more talk from Kumlu about who wasn't worthy of a spot in the Baj-jer.
