ϟ Flexibility/Durability|| Yoga and Gymnastics were a hobby of hers that kept her sane, so she's rather flexible and surprisingly durable, despite her thin frame.
ϟ Archery || By far her best skill in the sports department, she is an excellent marksman, and is able to hit her target accurately from up to one mile away in ideal conditions.
ϟ Variations of Light Magic || Her powers are not very strong due to her lack of knowledge on wielding it, but is triggered by fear and when she feels helpless. She has an ability she refers to as 'light aura', which gives her the outlining of bright light and repels dark magic. Her magic can only do good, so it is mostly restricted to protective offense and wards (AKA magical barriers/force fields).

Strengths
♦ Likability || Despite her social awkwardness, she can speak herself, and others out of most situations. She deems herself socially awkward, but is generally a likable person. Her positive thinking and bright personality naturally draws most people to her. She's always smiling and willing to help. Even if she doesn't quite know how to speak to people, she generally fairs well in social groups.
♦ Sports || Despite her frail appearance, she excelled in sports. She could climb the rope in gym class, run the fastest mile for a female, and she played basketball with the boys. She was a jack of all trades when it came to athletics. She only excelled in Marksmanship, but she was proficient at any sport she put her time towards.
♦ Marksmanship || Diana prefers the steady feel of a bow in her hands. Her marksmanship is incredible, and she gained national recognition for it with the offer of entering to compete in the Olympics. She turned the offer down, however, but continues to hone her skills.
Flaws
¤ White Knight || Due to her overall kind and caring personality, She has always had a bit of a white knight complex. She puts all others first and always before her, regardless of the cost.
¤ Aesthetics || She never learnt how to be aesthetically pleasing. She's a bit of a mess at times. She can't apply her own makeup and she's rather bland when it comes to style. She has the basics of color down, but as for what soothes the eye and which designs are an eye sore, her boat has sank.
¤ How to say "no" || She never was good at refusing to help others, so she often gets in over her head and stuck in situations she's not comfortable with. She feels saying no to a request is impolite, even if the request is something somewhat against her moral code. It has to be truly terrible for her willpower to kick in. She never realized that it’s okay to refuse a request as long as you can be polite about it.

How I tick
Personality
Awkward, Kind, and Forgiving, Diana was named after Princess Diana. Whatever her parents placed her in, she excelled at. Diana is quite determined and hates losing. She isn't all that interested in her reputation, she's more focused on helping others. She never took the time to learn, so she can't pick out clothes to save her life. Any time that Diana attempts to choose her own outfit she almost always ends up with some atrocity not even a homeless person would wear. She often wears things that don't match - baggy white sweatpants, a lime green t-shirt, a baggy yellow sweatshirt, flip flops, multi-colored socks. She has no sense of style whatsoever.
"Darkness isn't born, it is created. Anyone can escape their inner darkness."
The path that led me here
Diana wound up in an orphanage soon after her arrival in New York, much like her companions. Though that's practically all they have in common as far as upbringing goes. Unlike the others, it didn't take long for Diana to be plucked from the system. Diana barely spent six years as an orphan before she was adopted by the wealthy couple, Mr. and Mrs. Stirling. Mrs. Stirling was determined by several doctors to be infertile, so adoption was their last hope. After just two visits with Diana, the couple found themselves lucky to happen upon what they deemed as 'the perfect little girl'. Diana was smart, quiet, and well-behaved, especially for a six year old child. What seemed like a blessing at first, turned for the worst rather quickly.
The couple were of course looking for a daughter, but their intentions were not to love and cherish her as the child she already was. Mr. Stirling was looking for a child to groom into a champion. Almost immediately after Diana arrived at Stirling Manor, she was directed to her studies. Mr. Stirling spent the next twelve years honing Diana's skills, pushing her to do her best in everything she started. She was never allowed to quit once she began a sport or club. While most would deem this an enormous honor, Diana simply wished to live as a normal high school girl. She wanted what all the other girls had. Due to her extensive study hours, she became quite socially awkward. Though it didn't stop her from racking in the attention of various college recruiters, and other high-up officials. She managed to maintain a 5.0 GPA in high school, thanks to her various AP classes, along becoming and remaining Student Council President for three straight years. She was head captain of the softball, tennis, volleyball, and archery teams. She was a junior captain for the basketball and track teams, and co-captain for the soccer team.
Due to their wealthy status, her parents attempted to set up a marriage between her and several suitors of wealthy families - none of which actually cared for her, but only her achievements. The sons of said families were pushed for months until it became apparent that she was a lost cause, and her parents would move onto the next prospective candidate.
On her eighteenth birthday Diana finally packed her things and moved out the same morning. She isn't proud of it, but she sued her parents for the money that they had been setting aside for years to fund her college. After winning the case, she moved into a small but nice apartment with one bedroom on the outskirts of the city. Her parents still pushed suitors upon her, and the current one is named Darrian. He isn't just going after her for his family - he is also infatuated with her. He has actually made a point in stalking her.
Despite her wish to pack up and abandon the city completely, something urged her to stay. When the letter arrived, she realized that this was what had pushed her to remain in New York. Not really knowing what to expect, she threw a few key things into a duffle bag - clothes, a couple of books, tennis shoes, tossed her violin over her shoulder, and on a split-second whim due to the danger that the meeting may bring to her, she grabbed her bow and some arrows.
