Diana approaches most situations with a calm and composed demeanor. She believes that diplomacy can go a long way, and that with the right words, nearly any disagreement can be resolved. Very persuasive and intelligent, she knows how to get what she wants in a very suave manner. Having been raised to be a traditional "lady", Diana was raised in a very sheltered environment, and knows a lot about how to act in polite society. and while thanks to college and some real world experience she has begun to branch out, she is still fairly naive to life outside of her rich upbringing. Reading novels and imagining relationships has made her into quite the Romantic, and she often dreams of finding someone princely (though she really just craves a true friend and companion). While Diana is very good at appearing polite and elegant, she is very perceptive, always collecting information about the people and places around her. Diana can be somewhat petty, holding grudges and acting somewhat condescending to those whom have wronged her somehow. She never forgets if someone spites her and often judges others based on appearance (having been taught from a young age that appearances were very important).
Diana is drawn to high-class lifestyle, and appreciates those who are well-mannered and poised, such as herself. However, Diana is very curious about the world around her, discontent to be shut up inside a metaphorical castle tower. This curiosity and desire for adventure has lead her to pursue her passions as a young adult, for better or for worse. Throwing herself into journalism and writing has lead her to be very work-driven, and she sometimes needs other people to help her take breaks. While her inclination toward organization can be helpful, at times it acts as a detriment to her mental health; she can't seem to relax when things are cluttered. Due to her investigative and caring nature, she can sometimes come across as invasive to the privacies of others. In her mind, she's just trying to learn more so she can help and comfort them! (Though learning about other people fascinates her in general). In order to get a great story or solve a mystery, she often follows her impulses over logic. Nearly a lifetime of being protected has left her somewhat in a bubble, and growing up with only Damien as her constant companion has made her very protective and somewhat clingy to him. While this has become more manageable post-college, she still tends to be very lonely, and often fears abandonment.

Time Era: Present day (arrived in the chateau in 2020)

History:
Diana Russell was born in the late 1990s in Lilycove city to a former pokemon contest star and a businessman for a company that oversaw trades and shipping. Growing up, Diana was raised exclusively by her father, as her mother died a few hours after giving birth to her. Her grief-stricken father then vowed that his daughter would never go without. Ever since she can remember, she was always her daddy's little princess, never wanting for anything, except more companionship. Once Diana was a few years older and she could be left in the care of the household staff, she began to develop anxiety whenever her father left on trips. Shortly after this, a young boy named Damien joined their household, meant to be a companion to the young Diana as her father worked. Her father never told Diana the truth about him, and she grew up viewing him as an older brother, loving him from the start as a friend and playmate! As a young child, her days were mostly spent in happy bliss, watching contests, admiring all of the beautiful things her father sold to customers far away, and playing with her older brother. While she fell ill often and would sometimes spend days inside, she found solace in her brother's company, and always looked forward to getting well again so they could play once more. She clung to Damien, and yet having someone always with her enabled the young Diana to venture out further into the world, developing a taste for adventure. She loved the beach, and watching the sea and dreaming of what treasures could lie beyond the horizon or beneath the sand!

Once Diana was old enough to attend school full-time, her life shifted and her world began to open up. Taught mostly by private tutors and attending a prestigious private school, she grew up very privileged and with excellent education. Being enrolled in school and clubs, she didn't feel so lonely anymore, though she and Damien remained close. While they began to pursue different interests in school and extracurriculars, she always felt secure, knowing her brother had her back. As she grew more sociable and outgoing, she began to channel her passion for reading into writing and trying out her own stories! This eventually lead her to joining the school's book club, and then the newspaper, which she continued into high school. Journalism and storytelling became Diana's passion! She dreamed of solving mysteries and learning new things from people all around the world! After graduating from high school, she attended college at a prestigious Galarian university, traveling on study abroad trips and excelling in her classes. Her university days were rigorous, but Diana persisted through hardship, Damien at her side, and armed with determination to succeed and see the world as an investigative journalist.

After graduating from college alongside her brother, Diana settled in Hearthome city, Sinnoh, excited to begin her adult life with a job as a reporter! Together, with financial support from her father, she and Damien began the next chapter together in a cozy city apartment. Hearthome offered so many opportunities for stories, from gym leader and contest interviews, to cute amity square articles. Even though the work could be a little tedious and dull, she was determined to keep at it, writing and interviewing and meeting new people, all for the sake of discovery and storytelling! One day, while venturing to the nearby Veilstone city for a piece on the police department there, she spent the better part of a rainy afternoon with a young and newly-promoted detective named Trent. Standard questions aside, the rain kept them indoors for a while, and they even continued chatting over a casual dinner. Talking with him proved to be one of her best interviews yet, and she left with the makings for a great story, talking all about the process of working to solve cases within a city. But then it was back to work as usual! That very article ended up getting her a raise, and she felt more independent and free than ever before! (Even with Damien as her support, and her father always at the ready to help with bills.) It was still the most autonomy she'd ever known in her relatively sheltered life. It was a few months later when she saw an article that shook her to her core- that very detective she had interviewed had gone missing suddenly. Vanished without a trace, his car parked on a forest path, abandoned entirely. She hardly knew him, and yet.. she couldn't help but feel such a sense of loss, and a pull for closure. But time passed, and daily life went on as usual for those next three months.

While traveling back from Snowpoint city, having done a piece on the gym leader there, she couldn't stop thinking of that detective. As they drove along the coast, she couldn't help it! Where he'd disappeared.. it wasn't far from here, right? The forest where he'd gone missing. They'd already searched it, and found nothing, but still.. She remembered the passionate kindness she'd seen in him. For this man so determined to find others and bring them home, she had to at least try. He deserved that at least. Diana asked her private driver to be let out of the car as they neared the edge of the forest. She would only be five minutes! She just needed to study the trees for a piece! It wasn't even snowing! Naturally, her charm and persuasion earned his cooperation, and she began to venture into the woods.

Standing alone, she suddenly felt a sense of loneliness. Loneliness and quiet amidst the deep forest. What did she hope to find here? The bones of a person she'd known for less than a day? Something, anything.. Maybe even just a moment of silence would do. She closed her eyes, opening them as she felt a snowflake on her cheek. Suddenly the snow was thicker, then heavy, then coming down entirely too hard! She pulled her cape up, turning to make her way back through the trees to the car. Her feet and bare legs felt so cold- her face stung with the biting wind. Oh, Damien would really chew her out for walking in the snow like this... She couldn't have him worrying! But the further she walked, the less familiar things looked. She clutched her journal to her chest, and tried to check her phone, only to find it dead of battery and freezing in her hands. Shivering, she struggled forward through the blizzard, willing herself to get back home. There in the distance... she suddenly saw the form of a structure. Had she made it back to Snowpoint? There was no way..! Coming closer, she could barely make out the sprawling chateau that lay ahead. And yet, it was enough to give her hope!! The snow began to fall less heavily, and stopped entirely, but she hardly noticed. Diana forced her way through the trees, and finally onto the doorstep of the huge building. Shivering, she knocked at the door, praying that whoever was inside could warm her up.. and help her make a call back home.
