## History

### 2012

Elijah first met Dianna when they were at the Abattoir before Hayley's wedding, Dianna being there as Hayley was her cousin and they are both part of the Crescent Wolf Pack. The first time Elijah saw Dianna was when she was standing on the balcony overlooking the courtyard while Elijah had just returned from the safe house with Cami and his niece, Hope.

Elijah had been trying not to be depressed about the fact Hayley was getting married to another man and about her upcoming wedding, as Elijah had been in love with Hayley. The first thoughts he had upon noticing Dianna, was that she was young, attractive, and her eyes were a similar shape to Hayley's.

Elijah also later watched Dianna step down as the Crescent alpha in favor of her cousin, Hayley. Elijah was intrigued by the fact that such a small and sickly-seeming girl like Dianna could carry herself with as much confidence and strength as she did.

### 2013

**Elijah:** "*You wish to have me pay for my lies and my sins? So be it... but what of your sins Dianna?*"

**Dianna:** "*Excuse me?*"

**Elijah:** "*You told me that you loved it here. That you loved our lives together here, yet Niklaus tells me you've hated it all along! That you hate big cities and you hate New Orleans. You told him the truth and you lied to me!*"

**Dianna:** "*It wasn't a lie, Elijah.*"

**Elijah:** "*Then what was it?*"

**Dianna:** "*The same thing that possessed you to take off your daylight ring for her. You were happy here, so I didn't yank you away. It was love.*"
— **Elijah** and **Dianna** about their marriage
In January, Dianna was still in New Orleans. She was currently staying with Hayley at the Abattoir and was attending a local charter school there in New Orleans, were she continued to receive top grades in all of her classes. During this time, Dianna began a romantic relationship with Elijah; as the two of them had grown close while Dianna helped Elijah in moving out of the Abattoir and Elijah helped her move into the Abattoir.

About a month later on February 4th, it is Dianna's seventeenth birthday. Elijah decided to drive Dianna back to Mahomet, Illinois, the town she grew up in from the young age of five, and compelled them into a showing of her favorite movie. While watching the movie, Dianna found a ring box hidden within her and Elijah's popcorn. Elijah then proceeded propose to Dianna and ask her to marry him. Dianna didn't give and answer and after the drive home and talking to her mother; she told Elijah that yes, she'd marry him.

Later on the month; Dianna was cursed to be in her wolf form, with the expectation of the night of the full moon. This is due to the fact that Klaus had Dahlia place the curse on the Crescents; more specifically Hayley and Jackson, as it being cast upon them would affect the rest of the pack. Klaus had the cursed placed because Hayley tried to leave with Jackson and Hope, essentially trying to remove him from his own daughter's life.

While under the Crescent curse; Dianna would spend each full moon with her fiancé, Elijah, as well as work on a spell to try and free the pack from the curse. But due to her weakened immune system, Dianna feel increasingly ill because of constant exposure. A few months later, in October; Dianna's spell ended up in the hands of Davina Claire, which prompted Dianna and Hayley to strike a deal with her, so that the curse could be restrained and they and the rest of the Crescents could be human again.

A little later on, Jackson and Hayley made Dianna a co-alpha of the pack. Dianna also had an argument with Elijah after he decided to take Hayley to the Strix party instead of her. Though the two later reconciled and ended up sleeping together for the first time in their entire relationship. After that, Dianna moved back in with Elijah into the Abattoir and the two began the process of planning their wedding.

Dianna was also one of the people that attended the Thanksgiving Dinner Party that Klaus and Elijah planned and invited Lucien, Tristan, and Aurora to in order to try and negotiate a truce with them. Later on, while still planning their wedding; Dianna threw Elijah a surprise party for his 1036th birthday. So also spent Christmas with the Mikaelsons at the Abattoir.

The next day, on December 26th, Dianna had been kidnapped alongside Hayley and Jackson. But before she had even woken up in the place she was being held hostage, Marcel had injected her with Hope's blood in order to help save her but also to keep his cover. The blood came into play later on when Tristan tore Dianna's heart out as a punishment for Elijah because of the torture he — Tristan — endured the month before.

Four days later, on December 30th, Dianna and Elijah finally married one another. They married each other at sunrise while also under the strictest amount of secrecy in a Lutheran ceremony at the St. Paul's Lutheran Church in New Orleans.

### 2014

While in deep depression for a few weeks during the month of January, Dianna was still adjusting to her tribrid status and being the first of her kind — a turned immortal tribrid. During this time, she ended up biting Elijah a few time while he was trying to restrain her from tearing the Abattoir apart. However, with help from Klaus, she was able to move forward with her life with Elijah and their families.

Late on in mid-May; Dianna had to leave her and Elijah's newly adopted daughter, Saga, in the care of a pregnant Cami; who was also watching Hope at the time. This was done as Dianna was working with Hayley, Jackson, and Stefan as well as Lucien and Freya to help recover Klaus and Elijah before the de-siring spell was complete. They managed to save Elijah from the completion of the de-siring spell, but not Klaus.

Later on, still in the month of May; Dianna and Elijah left Saga again, but this time in the care of Davina and Kol rather than Cami as they went with Finn to go rescue Freya from Lucien.

Sometime later; Dianna and Elijah slept together again, but this time as a officially married couple, after they thought they had put an end to the prophecy that predicted the fall of the Mikaelson's. And since Esther had cast a spell that allowed her children to conceive a child with whoever their partner was, Dianna and Elijah ended up conceiving a child of their own.

After her husband ended up getting bite by Marcel, who was now an upgraded original vampire; she took his and Freya's sleeping bodies, which where in coffins; with her, Saga, and the premature newborn baby Grace to her mother's place in Mahomet, Illinois. Later on, Dianna discovers she's pregnant with her and Elijah's child and proceeded to move into a high rise penthouse in Chicago. Months later, on January 30th, 2015; Dianna gave birth to her and Elijah's daughter, Olympia Mikaelson.
