Diana Harrington

Diana Harrington is a former Honour Student who attended Thirlcrest Academy. As of the spring term, she has seemingly transferred schools and no longer attends Thirlcrest. She is the sister of Archie and Lionel Harrington, and the twin sister of Bryce Harrington. She is played by hyIia_reborn.
== Appearance ==
Diana is a girl of short stature and average build - if not slightly underweight, in stark contrast to her brothers. She has honey blonde hair, a staple of her family, cut into a neat bob that sits about her shoulders - often straightened and adorned with accessories, such as clips and headbands; she is rarely seen dishevelled or messy. Diana has deep, blue eyes, that sit above a plethora of freckles scattered about her nose and cheeks. Diana has pale, clear skin, clear of any blemishes. She is often extremely cautious of her looks, and has been spotted around campus avoiding direct sunlight by standing in shaded areas - in fear her skin may become sun-damaged. 
Diana's fashion, whilst at school, is quite typical for an Honour Student of her rank. She wears an Aquaberry brand pinafore dress over a typical school shirt, with an expensive flowered necklace about her neck. She wears a modified version of the typical Aristocrat blazer - it being more feminine, cropped and more fitted to her. She is rarely seen outside of the campus in the town of Southperry, but she is often seen wearing branded, trendy clothing.
== Characteristics ==
Unlike her brothers, or her Honour Student counterparts, Diana is exceptionally academically intelligent and cares deeply for her grades. She harbours a certain complex in this regard - seeing herself as the rightful heir to her Father's fortune and company, but being at a disadvantage due to her gender; in return, she works hard to for her father's approval, taking on countless extra credit classes and becoming a straight A student, sacrificing much of her social life. Though she paid to be on the Honour Student programme, many have commented that she would have been able to get onto the programme of her own volition. 
In addition, Diana is seen as a more gentle and kind counterpart to her other clique-mates, bordering on the edge of naivety. She carries a caring nature about her, speaking with just about anyone who approaches her and expressing discontent or confusion when people dislike her before meeting her. Whether she does this in a genuine matter, or as a means to manipulate others - many do not know, but she often attributes her sometimes aloof nature to her lack of social integration with others her age due to her obsessive habit of studying. 
Diana has an unwavering love for all animals, and keeps a hamster called Reginald Cornelius Carbuncle IV underneath her bed in the Harrington House.
== Character Background ==
Diana was born in New Hampshire, USA - being the second born to three Harrington siblings. Upon her birth, Diana was immediately thrust into a position of responsibility and expectations, due to being the only girl born into her family. From the time she was able, Diana embraced all academic avenues possible to her - becoming somewhat of a prodigy in English Literature, music and languages, all to try and garner the approval of her emotionally distant Father. At the age of 11, just as Diana was set to begin middle school, she was sent to study abroad in the UK, at the behest of her aforementioned Father. Throughout this time, Diana lived with her extended family in Oxford, England. 
After 2 years, Diana returned to New Hampshire to the disappointment of her parents - she had been sent back to them for increasingly bad and rebellious behaviour. Whilst in the UK, Diana had struggled to fit in and make friends, leaving her to become extremely anti-social, introverted and reserved. As a result, she found herself pushed into circles of students that often bullied poorer and less fortunate students - Diana, allegedly, had become a bully in the time she had spent away from her family. Furious, her mother, who was known for being a more gentle and kind individual than her husband, enrolled Diana to attend Thirlcrest Academy with her brother, Archie. Although seemingly guilty, Diana maintains the idea that she did not partake in any of the bullying, and simply hung around with the rich bullies because she was lonely. It is unknown whether she is lying about this or not.
Heartbroken and guilty, Diana has since thrown herself back into her studies at an almost obsessive rate, desperate to win back the affection and pride of her parents. 
== Relationships ==
=== Elena Liu ===
Elena was Diana's closest friend during her childhood, both of them being from affluent families...or, in Elena's case, many affluent families. As children, Elena's mother was involved with Diana's uncle, leading them to spend extended amounts of time together as step-cousins - having playdates, tea-parties and attending high-end events together. When Elena's mother separated from Diana's uncle, they lost touch, but have since rekindled their friendship together in Thirlcrest Academy.
Diana trusts Elena, and often seeks out her guidance when she is having problems relating to boys.

== Trivia ==
- Diana has a pet hamster that she keeps under her bed called Reginald. It has an awful habit of chewing through it's cage and escaping.
- Back at the Harrington manor, Diana fostered and looked after many cats. She has so many that she could not name them all when asked by Luke Powers.
- Diana is afraid of dogs. She doesn't seem to mind her brother's dog, though. 
- As a child, Diana was prone to frequently getting sick and passing out from exhaustion. She has a remarkably weak constitution, resulting in a sheltered upbringing, and being a stark opposite to her brothers. This is a trait that's followed her into her teenage years.
