History

Pre-series

A few years before turning ten, Diana found in her home a briefcase containinga pendant and a diary with information of anancient adventurer'sjourney. The text that Diana found in this book motivated her to travel on her own journey to find out if these stories were real. Together with herGrowlithe, who would laterEvolve into anArcanine, Diana traveled the world in search of answers, but was unable to find any.

In the midst of her journey in search of answers, Diana met several people. Among them wereTepen, who became a frequent guest on her adventures and who was once trapped for days tied to a net made by the web of anAriados next to Diana. She had also metHamber, who she also traveled with a few times in the past.

On one of her trips, Diana sought to learn about the myth of aLapras that was seen by navigators around the world, but when she arrived at the place she was unable to find what she was looking for as she did not have the right equipment at the time. Although Diana tried several times to solve this mystery, there came a time when she gave up looking.

However, about thirty years after starting her journey, Diana decided to stop looking for answers about the legend of Lucius and seek information about other myths. Some time later, she became a mother and had a daughter namedLucca, who grew up somewhere in theKanto region until she eventually moved toPaldea and lived there.

At some unspecified point in the past, she told her daughter, the story of Lucius. This story was also told toher son-in-law, which inspired him to use it as the subject of one of his books.

Approximately one year before the events ofThe Pendant That Starts It All (Part One), Diana gave a mysterious pendant to hergranddaughter. She told Liko that she should trust her Pokémon to face fear and that this pendant would become important for her in the future. Some time after this, Hamber returned, wanting to introduce Diana toGibeon, who he said had the answers she was looking for. However, Diana saw through his words, as Hamber bringing along a group of subordinates immediately signaled to her that Hamber was working for an organization who after the pendant, and she subsequently escaped. Fearful for Liko's safety due to her now being in possession of the pendant, she asked her daughter Lucca to call a group of adventurers called theRising Volt Tacklers to protect Liko and the pendant from the organization Hamber was a part of.

As described byLiko, Diana is an adventurer, who travels all over theworld and this ends up with her not having a fixed residence, never revealing her whereabouts to her family. After learning more about her grandmother's work, Diana became an inspiration to Liko on her journey, which was furtherreinforced after important historians likeBriar became aware of her research.

Diana has a very strong appetite, quickly eating her breakfast before others and always requesting seconds. While friendly and cheerful, Diana can also show a very strong temper, as upon discovering her old friendTepen scammed her, she ordered her Arcanine to burn him to a crisp, but quickly calmed down at Liko's behest.

Since she began traveling with the Rising Volt Tacklers, Diana quickly became close with the group, participating in interactions and meetings with members.

InRoar of the Black Rayquaza, Diana revealed that she doesn't do well with technology, which is why she prefers to rely on her Squawkabilly over aRotom Phone to communicate with people.
