Dina is a character from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
Breath of the Wild
Dina is a Gerudo who lives in Gerudo Town. She is a young woman about to set off to leave Gerudo Town. In preparation, she is taking both of Ashai's classes, including the Voe and You class during the day, where she will learn how to handle situations when dealing with men outside of Gerudo Town. In the evening and overnight hours, she will take Ashai's cooking class. Between the two classes, Dina just walks back and forth between the Barracks and Ashai's house, staying awake 24-hours a day.
At 8am each day, she will travel over to the Barracks for the Voe and You class. While she contributes to the class, she thinks the class itself is just a pain.[1] While at class, Dina is concerned with her lipstick, hoping that the color will bring her good luck.[2] Although she really has no idea as to why the color of the lipstick matters.[3][4]
Link is able to sit in on the class and observer some of the answers that the students give. Dina he a very nice and thoughtful Gerudo, as her responses are very non-threatening. If a handsome man she's never seen approaches, would smile and enthusiastically greet him.[5] She would also be willing to help an injured man by treating him with medicine right then and there.[6] If a man abruptly engaged in conversation with Dina, she would take that up-close opportunity to determine his social standing by examining the clothes that he's wearing.[7]
While Ashai will leave the classroom as 6pm, Dina remains there until 8pm. At that time she leaves and heads over to Ashai's home where she will also be taking her cooking class.[8] Dina feels the cooking class is critical for her as whenever she tries to cook, she just makes Dubious Food.[9] Although she knows that if insects or monster materials are added to a meal, it makes dubious food. The food is inedible and she already knows what not to do, so it is unclear as to why she needs the class.[10] Her teacher always says that the quickest way to someone's heart is through their stomach.[11]
Tears of the Kingdom
Dina can be found along with Pasha and Risa at the Outskirt Stable. The trio has left Gerudo Town, each in search of a man to fall in love with. They are using their knowledge they learned from Voe and You, a class they took during their time in Breath of the Wild, on how to interact with men in the world. They have interacted with men, but none of them have measured up to what they are looking for.[12]
Dina mentions hearing about a legendary hero, referring to Link.[13] Risa gives the view that he must be a strong man and somebody who's even taller than the Gerudo.[14] Although Risa is clumbsy with her wording, saying she is going to take him out, instead of ask him out. Pasha corrects her and mentions that they could recognize him as he wields a legendary sword.[15] The group talks about how the legendary sword might glow, or how it possibly even larger than the Gerudo women themselves.[16][17] Risa suggests attacking Link, by launching a surprise attack on him, although Pasha interupts her again, saying she needs to stop referring to voe as targets.[18][19]
The group is thinking about where to travel to to find voe.[20] Pasha wants to find an intellectual, so she suggests traveling to Necluda, to find a Sheikah who lives in Kakariko Village.[21] Dina suggests travelings to Tarrey Town, where she has heard there is a Gerudo helping out at the construciton company. Maybe the group could use that town as a home base for searching for voe.[22] Risa suggests traveling to the Faron region as she heard there is a new animal discovered known as a Dondon.[23] Pasha jumps in and has to ask her what that has anything to do with finding a voe.[24]
When Link speaks to the group, Risa is shocked that a voe is actually talking to him.[25][26] Pasha says that they should wave to him, while keeping an eye out for any bandit ambushes.[27] Dina says they want to assure he feels safe and they should wave both hands, so he knows they don't have anything to hide in their hands.[28] Risa then jumps in saying he's probably hungry, and once again mentions the Dondon in Faron, and how maybe Link would like to go hunting.[29] Pasha immediately wonders how Risa jumped to that thought.[30] Dina chimes in that sending Link off in the distance is probably not the right approach.[31]
