Description
Diana is a recurring character and the grandmother of the protagonist, Liko. She is an elderly woman with dark hair featuring blue highlights and light turquoise eyes, typically dressed in practical mountain attire suitable for an adventurer.
From a young age, Diana demonstrated a powerful sense of curiosity and a yearning for discovery. As a child playing in her home's attic, she uncovered a mysterious pendant and an old journal belonging to the legendary adventurer Lucius. Fascinated by the stories of Lucius and his six Pokémon companions, she was inspired to embark on her own journey to find the truth. Accompanied by her partner, who began as a Growlithe and eventually evolved into a powerful Arcanine, Diana traveled the world for over thirty years in search of the paradise known as Rakua that was mentioned in the journal. Despite her extensive travels and adventures, she was ultimately unable to find the location and, as she entered middle age, she reluctantly gave up her active pursuit of the mystery.
Despite her age, Diana has a remarkably youthful and energetic personality, always appearing young at heart. She is an experienced adventurer who is both adaptable and wise, capable of remaining calm and clear-headed during emergencies. Her carefree and elusive nature means she often keeps her whereabouts secret, even from her own family, as she continues to wander and explore. While generally cheerful and friendly, she has a temperamental and feisty side. She can be quite impulsive, such as when she nearly ordered her Arcanine to attack an old friend who scammed her, only calming down at her granddaughter's request. Diana values her solitude and enjoys quiet moments, often reading alone or talking to herself. She has a notable struggle with modern technology, preferring to use her loyal Squawkabilly as a courier for communication rather than using a Rotom Phone. She also has a hearty appetite, often finishing her meals quickly and asking for seconds.
Diana's primary motivation has evolved from a personal quest for discovery to a deep-seated desire to protect her family and pass on her legacy. After years of failing to find Rakua, she entrusted the mysterious pendant to her granddaughter, Liko, hoping that the next generation might succeed where she could not. This act was also born of protective concern. When her old friend Hamber approached her with suspicious company from the Explorers, an organization seeking the pendant's power, she broke off their friendship and secretly arranged for the Rising Volt Tacklers to protect Liko. Her role in the story is that of a mentor and a guide. Upon reuniting with Liko and her friends, Diana provides crucial exposition, identifies the creature in the pendant as Terapagos, and hands over Lucius's journal. She then entrusts Liko with the mission of finding Lucius's six Pokémon, known as the Six Heroes, thereby giving the young heroes a clear direction for their journey.
Key relationships define Diana's character. Her most important bond is with her granddaughter, Liko. She is a source of wisdom and encouragement, believing in Liko's potential and gently pushing her to take the first step into a larger world. She respects Liko's growing strength and eventually steps back to allow her to forge her own path. She shares a complex history with Hamber, a former adventuring companion who later joined the Explorers. Their falling out was a source of regret, and their confrontations are filled with a mix of past friendship and present antagonism. She also has a connection with Tepen, an old adventuring friend who became a deceptive artifact seller; Diana confronts him not out of malice, but to remind him of the dreams he lost. Within the Rising Volt Tacklers, she earns the respect of the crew and forms a quiet friendship with the reclusive Dot, finding common ground despite the age difference.
Throughout the series, Diana undergoes notable development. She moves from being a retired adventurer who had given up on her dream to a proactive supporter of the new generation. At first, she acts as a guardian from the shadows, but after meeting Liko and the crew, she fully embraces her role as a mentor, passing on her life's work—Lucius's journal and belt—and her own travel journal. She ultimately learns that Lucius and his companion Rystal are her own ancestors, deepening her personal connection to the quest. She shows continued growth by later building new partnerships, such as be-friending and capturing a Revavroom and a Rotom to aid her in her travels.
Diana's notable abilities are those of a seasoned adventurer rather than a specialized battler. She is highly resourceful, quick-thinking, and possesses a wealth of knowledge about legends and ancient artifacts. Her primary combat ability comes from her powerful and loyal Arcanine, which she has raised since childhood and uses for battle, transportation, and support. She is a capable and intuitive strategist in a fight, but her greatest strength lies in her resilience, wisdom, and her skill in guiding and motivating the younger protagonists.
