She is kind to her peers, but she also gives friendly teases as well and quick to lecture if someone makes a mistake that could hurt them or others. Optimistic is what others like to say about her, but under her surface her optimism is far less so. Her personality of being outgoing is more so to help others in these grave times, and from this she has a hard time admitting when she is facing issues herself. However, she understands that the world can't sit idle and she can't sit back and simply wait for the titans to eventually kill her someday. Action must be taken, and she wants to encourage others that they should act to. When she is alone, she likes to stargaze as well as read poetry. Usually during the night as she has a hard time sleeping through it after the events of the attack on Wall Maria. Her attitude though is easily focused into the task at hand. Making her personality when fighting more direct, sarcastic, and dropping the warmth she uses elsewhere to make sure people simply stay alive and that the job is done.[/color] [b]History:[/b] [color=a187be]Dianna is the third and youngest child of her family who worked as farmers within the bounds of Wall Maria. Them, along with the countless other farms within the walls, worked to feed what remained of humanity. It was a bit lonely as Dianna didn’t meet peers or even other people very often. She was expected to simply become another farmer to take on what her family had, but she was more adventurous. Her love was for nature and the unknown, and her father largely disapproved for the longest time. It was unbecoming of a lady as well as a farmer to constantly abandon their home in his mind. However, Dianna didn’t stop and she found the night to be her favorite time of day. When the mas of the blue sky came off to reveal the larger universe at hand she felt even more excited, but also alone and trapped as she didn’t get to see more of the world that she heard from those who passed by. While she had been to a district with her father to drop off their crop once in a while, she only had moments to run and find all of the interesting things she could before she had to be dragged back home almost. They heard the crash of the wall coming down in the attack in the distance, but were unsure of what was going on. Her father and eldest brother took a carriage to see what was going on despite Dianna’s objections that they need to leave, but the one thing she respected about her father and her siblings was their willingness to help others. She would never see them again though as the rumble of canon fire in the distant horizon and the sounds of battle came. Then came the titans, after the wall was lost and the armored Titan broke the inner side of Maria, running down the countryside. Dianna was lucky to escape the farm as she had gone off to search for her father and brother when they didn’t return. But, without the horse Dianna had been on her mother and other sibling were taken and eaten, Dianna watching from a hill in the distance before running off. It’s a miracle a Titan didn’t see her before she disappeared past the hill and that there wasn’t a charging aberrant to chase down a horse. When she arrived at Rose and joined the Refugees she firsthand got to see what happens when the food source is lost. The rationing and the march of the able bodied refugees in a suicide mission made to reduce those that still needed to be fed. Nightmares of people scrambling the first few days for food and of her families death keep her awake at night as she only find herself sleeping for a few hours at a time. At the same time she was giving up her rations to other children she saw. Both out of the kindness of her heart as her mother taught her to give a meal to those who were hungry as well as being unable to stomach food without it coming back out. This is what it felt like to be truly trapped. She regretted wishing to have something more, to escape her farm, and she just wanted to have what she took for granted back. The only way to do that though was to follow the men she saw on horses leading out of Trost. Those brave men and women who fought to free humanity from the Titan threat. If she followed them, she could escape from the true prison of a life she had now as a refugee and also free humanity from its prison. See that which she had dreamed as well as finally return to her home and properly give her parents a goodbye. [/color][/color] [/center]
