Diamond

Diamond, or Dia for short, is a major character in Evergreen Sauce. They are American but the kind of American who lists their nationalities off in percentages. They're most known for being a shut-in, though after they accidentally stabbed their best friend to death they now have a reason to not leave. They were born on November 26th, and are 19 years old. They were formerly studying biology in college, though they dropped out and are planning to go to culinary school instead after discovering a love for cooking. Their pronouns are they/them.

Dia is roommates with their best friend Zach, formerly with Scout, Alex, and Violet. They own a pet hamster named Ketchup.

## Personality

Dia is incredibly antisocial and lethargic, almost never leaving their house or even their room. Even before committing a murder and subsequently repressing it, they were quite shy, and considered as weird by most. They enjoy the creative arts, especially writing, and formerly kept a journal. They also are a bit of a nerd and enjoy video games. They're very strange and often say odd things, but that's just part of their charm. They love to cook, but the food that they make is often less-than-edible. They're carefree but in the worst possible way.

Dia is also notably obsessed with jazz.

## Appearance

Dia has short, dyed purple hair that is naturally brown- they box-dye it every few months. Their favorite color is yellow, and they always wear a bright yellow, slightly oversized jacket. Formerly, they wore a blue headband, but traded it out for yellow after dyeing their hair. They have green eyes and very pale skin from not going outside, and are pretty thin. They present very androgynous, and look extremely unhealthy. They are 5'5".

## Background

Dia grew up in a relatively stable home, but due to their strangeness, they weren't able to find many friends as a child. This led to them spending a lot of time online in middle and high school, and meeting someone who became very close to them. Near the end of high school, the person cut them off unexpectedly, and this messed with Dia about as much as you would think. Because of this, they sort of unconsciously started acting stranger to try and drive people away so that they wouldn't get abandoned. They also stopped going on forums on the Internet.

In middle school, they also met Katsuo Inada about a year after he moved to the United States, but as he was two years older than them, they didn't really become very close until high school. He was kind of very persistent about being their friend, as he also didn't have many friends. Up until the Incident, they hung out frequently as they both went to the same college and lived fairly near each other.

On June 5, 2021, they stabbed Katsuo to death. This scarred them so much they shut themself in their room for around a month and didn't speak to anyone and forced themself to forget about it. After successfully repressing, here they are now.

## Relationships

##### Zachary Miller

* Dia and Zach are best friends. They trust each other very much and care deeply about each other. Zach is probably Dia's only friend, actually.

##### Katsuo Inada

* Dia and Katsuo used to be very close but then they stabbed him to death after he tried and failed to make them go outside. They subsequently repressed this memory so hard that they don't remember it even happening, and as such, Katsuo's ghost often haunts their nightmares.

##### Violet Dietrich

* Violet and Dia used to be roommates until the aforementioned murder occured. Now they're just really awkward around each other despite Dia's best efforts.

##### Scout Marcil

* Dia's ex. They met at a blind date at a curry spot, had a lot in common and then Dia didn't leave the house for months and they kind of drifted. They broke up really more because Scout had other things to deal with.

##### Claret Hedley

* Dia doesn't know Claret that well, but since he's Claret they know him by proxy. They are on okay terms.

##### Alex King

* Another ex-roommate. Dia and Alex are on okay terms and they try and see her whenever she comes by. After the murder incident things are pretty awkward.
