Dinah Alcott is the niece of Brockton Bay's mayor.
Personality:
Her verbose and formal word choice when addressing other along with her mature behavior for her age have lead to speculations of Dinah having Asperger's syndrome.[citation needed]
Appearance:
Dinah is described as a twelve-year old girl with straight dark-brown hair. While in Coil's custody she was heavily drugged, and appeared as visibly malnourished.[citation needed]
Later, she cut her hair short.<ref name="22.1">Cell 22.1</ref>
Abilities and Powers:
Dinah has the ability to see the likelihood of something occurring in the future which her power resolves into a percentage chance. She does this by perceiving trillions of possible universes and sorting them into groups based on a single event.
At Coil's insistence, Dinah also demonstrated the ability to pick out a single timeline and interpret it which was used to see a future where Crawler did not kill her, Coil, and the Travelers. It allowed them to find the situation where they could escape and then employ it.
She can't help but use her power if someone asks her a question, and lying about the answer messes up her power for a while after.<ref name="22.1"/>
History
Background
Triggered at school. Was not aware of this at the time. Complained of various kinds of headaches for weeks, before going home sick.[citation needed] She was kidnapped from home.<ref>https://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?705519-Worm-Tav-And-It-All-Went-Wrong!&p=17358437#post17358437</ref>
After the Battle at the Bank
A newspaper article carried news of her kidnapping but there was no news of a ransom note or similar.
Post-Leviathan
When looking over the data stolen from the PRT and learning that the Slaughterhouse Nine were in the area Dinah prophesied that Jack Slash would be the one to make everyone die.
When Coil was killed, she was freed.<ref name="16.13">
Her voice was barely above a whisper as she stared down at the ground between us, “I’ve been waiting for this for so very long.”
It didn’t sound like an accusation. More the words of someone who had been forced to watch the clock for days, weeks, months. Anticipating a possible moment that might never come.
“I’m sorry,” I said. “I’m sorry it took so long.”
Excerpt from Monarch 16.13</ref>
Post-Slaughterhouse Nine
She set herself up as a rogue, selling answers both for funds and in order to steer the future so that the End of the World would kill less people.<ref name="22.1"/>
Golden Morning
Despite willingly trying to assist Khepri she was not allowed to participate in the Golden Morning, instead one of her notes was returned to her the one with two and a half words.
Trivia
- Identified by the author as the third most powerful precognitive in the Worm setting.[citation needed]
