Diana Solari

## History

A totem bearer remains a totem bearer until they pass on. Diana is the daughter of life, quite literally in fact. Her mother was a totem-bearer, the opposite to her, her mother was a bearer of life. Before her parents were aware that they were with child, although it would not have mattered, they encountered another totem-bearer. This bearer was seeking to combine the different totems in effort to become a more powerful being. Her parents fought against this sinister totem-bearer and in the process of doing so they may have inadvertently cursed the life of one of their unborn children. Diana was born already suffering from a severe form of respiratory distress. It appeared to rob her of her first breath before she had been able to take it. Her blue skin due to the poor circulation of blood led them to believe she was dead. Her parents mourned the little dead girl naming her 'Diana' before they departed with her twin, the living, breathing, child they named Nadia. The Death Totem bonded with Diana and kept her alive, albeit in a temporary stasis. The newborn baby was found by a couple, called Brody and Zyma, they were made aware of her presence when the Death Totem summoned ghosts.

Her adoptive parents, Brody and Zyma, were not unfamiliar with the supernatural. Brody was a berserker, while Zyma was a dhampir. They met at Olympus Academy when they were young and still learning about their abilities. When they happened upon baby Diana they took her in and raised her as their own. They could never know what she was going to grow up to be. They assumed she was a spirit medium, possibly a banshee and that was why she attracted ghosts. The best they could do was teach her the ways of the supernatural world as they knew it. Little did they know the death totem was instructing her as well. She was encouraged by the guidance of the totem to fight other totem bearers. She failed to question this, it felt right to her. She trained in fighting techniques with both her adoptive father and her adoptive mother. She grew to be increasingly more capable with each sparring session. She came into the world as twin, the darker side of a brighter half. The supernatural world drew her right back to the person she shared her early existence with. She did not know it at the time, she never would have guessed. Unbeknownst to her the death totem had been guiding her to its opposite, to her sister, to Nadia.

It happened in a forest, both Diana and Nadia love the forest and always choose to spend time in them. The fight started off with Nadia using the abilities the Life totem granted her. Diana had been following the guidance of the Death totem, Nadia's use of her own gave her away. With absolutely no hesitation Diana charged at Nadia. Again using the Life totem Nadia used blades of grass to slow the speed and potentially stop Diana's attack. In her version of the same thing Diana destroyed the grass halting her progress and continued her assault. Their dual of opposing forces littered the forest around Diana in dust, debris and brittled bone. The gift they had been bestowed was put to waste the day that the Death totem controlled Diana as opposed to her being in control of it. Her totem influenced her to battle her own sister in order to steal the Life totem, and it failed. Diana weakened both herself and Nadia to the point that they both were bleeding out profusely. She earned her crown when she used bone shared accidentally imbedded in her against Nadia. Diana would have happily died there if Nadia totem had not allowed her to heal herself and Diana too out of kindness. Less violent having believed she won that war Diana and Nadia spoke to each other in more than one liners.

## Personality

As a result of her totem bond she is severely lacking in remorse, she strives to be the worst version of who she is capable of being. The self-proclaimed Queen of the Bone Kingdom, she has a partiality to Zoosadism, she gets pleasure from cruelty to animals. She occasionally adorns herself with the bones of deceased vertebrates, wearing the skeletal components the way normal people wear jewelry. If her actions were purely for academic purposes her skills would be looked at as more creative and less destructive. She has no issue with claiming she found the animals dead rather than admitting it was her who killed them. An added disadvantage of the totem guiding her is that she is cannot fight the call.

She is cynical, callous and insensitive. She is under the impression everyone thinks the same way she does. She does not care if others admire her, she likes to think of herself as unlovable. She does not care if others pay attention to her. If she can go unnoticed for long enough she is basically a ninja. She is not motivated by such things as prestige or status they are pointless to her. She does however expect special favors from others and tends to resort to threats of violence if she does not receive an offer. In her mind having people fear you is equal to having power over them. She catches people off guard with her tendency to use flattery if other means of influence fail.

She manipulates other people, she finds it amusing to use the weak willed as playthings. She will always utilize lies and/or deceit in order to get what she wants from people. She is actually quite the convincing actress. Someone will always fall for at least one of her ploys, either because they believed her or they did not know any better, yet. She does not see any problem with exploiting others regardless of the end result. If it works in her favor that is great, if it ends in a disappointment she is unfazed. She is not concerned with morality and does not believe in karmic retribution. Her totem guides to ignore the values her adoptive parents taught her.
