## Biography

Before working as a personal stylist for some of the biggest names in media, Diana was just a simple girl trying to make it through high school. Being friends with the most popular group in her school had its advantages, and gave this happy-go-lucky artist the opportunity she needed to show off her talents, and pursue her goal of helping everyone discover the best versions of themselves."**

## Appearance

 Diana is a female teenager of above-average height and average build. Diana has pale white skin with magenta eyes. She has long magenta hair in the form of two ponytails. Her hair is also combed to the right, with one strand reaching down the middle of her forehead. She has two small bangs that curve inward towards her face. The right front end of her hair reaches downward, while the left end curls around her ear. The back ends of her hair also curl outwards.

Diana wears a blue school girl uniform with white sleeves that have pink ends. She also wears a big yellow bow up top. On said uniform is an emblem of unknown origin. Tied around her shirt is a bag filled with various make-up and beauty products. There's also white stripes near the ends of the blue shirt. Wrapped around her right arm is a silver chameleon bracelet.

## Personality

Diana is a cheerful and sociable teenager who wishes to bond with everyone she comes across. She's even friendly towards the less likable students, such as Damon and Kai. Upon meeting Kai, Diana apologizes for hurting his feelings and agrees to check out his content to make him feel better. Despite his narcissism and expectation of admiration, Diana still wants to respect Kai's wishes and doesn't wish to hurt him. When Grace insults Kai, Diana jumps to his defense, even though she admits he's "not the nicest person in the world". On top of this, even when Damon subtly insults her by asking if she's "just a makeup artist", Diana remains friendly towards him and later suggests he put on a smile in preperation for Cara's trial. All of this shows that Diana is kind towards everyone, no matter how rude or disrespectful they are.

In combination with her cheerfulness, Diana has a sense of optimism. Once the Killing Game is revealed, she remains adamant than neither her or or her friends will ever kill anyone, as they "have too much to live for and too much to achieve". This was all as a result of Wolfgang's encouragement that no one hear will kill anyone, as they're all Ultimates whose goals are to better society. However, Eva fights against this reasoning, saying it's naive and foolish to believe no one here will try to kill, especially when their Ultimate status gives them more motive to murder, no less. When Damon agrees with Eva, Diana expresses her disappointment, showing she wants to believe in her friends no matter what others say. After Damon alienates everyone by not only insisting that trusting each other is a bad move, but also insulting the group's Ultimate talents, Diana still tries to hold the group together. She asks if anyone is going to really kill each other, but it was no use in the end. Diana overall is a very optimistic person who wants to believe in her fellow Ultimates, even if she hardly knows them as people.
