**Diamond Carver** is a student at Evergreen Institute. She is known for being the first so-called "victim" of the new Infant Preservation Act, which criminalized abortion. Carver, a victim of molestation, found herself pregnant. After confiding with some of her friends that she was pregnant, some of them suggested that she get an abortion. She decided to get one, unaware of the new law that had passed that criminalized abortion and made abortion punishable either by death or life imprisonment without parole. However, she was arrested a few hours before her scheduled appointment, convicted, and, alongside the abortion staff members who were supposed to carry out the abortion and her friends who suggested the abortion, sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. The case's outcome outraged millions of pro-choice activists across America.

Two years later, in the year 2021, Diamond fell victim to molestation and became pregnant as a result. Unfortunately, around that same time, the infamous Infant Preservation Act was signed into law on March 21st. Unaware of this, Diamond consoled her friends, and some of them suggested that she get an abortion. She decided to get one. However, she was ratted out by a pro-life neighbor, arrested a few hours before her scheduled appointment, alongside her friends and the original rapist, convicted, and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole while the rapist and the doctors who were supposed to perform the abortion were sentenced to death. The case's outcome outraged millions of pro-choice activists across America.

Millions of people demanded a retrial, maintaining that a woman's rights superceded that of the baby's. However, the court refused to change its ruling and Diamond remained behind bars.

## Personal details

### Personality

Diamond is generally described as a bright and happy child. She had a bright plan for her future-a future that was destroyed by her molestation, pregnancy, and life imprisonment under the new abortion law.
