[u][b]Name[/b][/u]: [b][color=crimson]Diana Schwarzwald[/color][/b]

[u][b]Age[/b][/u]: 25 

[u][b]Gender[/b][/u]: Female (NO Stick)

[u][b]Element[/b][/u]: Fire

[u][b]Personality[/b][/u]: Diana is a girl who could be called a "one woman army" when she stands her ground on something, or alternately pursues a chosen target or important goal she has in mind. Up-front, bold, and not afraid to speak her mind even if it offends others, she is not someone who likes to "beat around the bush" when speaking on one topic or another. With years of growing, this trait of hers has also been refined to an extent when dealing with certain things due to spending life around the member of a royal family. Losing some of her former teenage impulsiveness as time went on, she can very much sit and not bat an eye in a formal meeting without issue for hours and maintain her focus rather coolly. 

Yet at her core one could say Diana has remained the same since she was 15 and going to school with her peers. Stubborn, bold, determined, caring for those dear to her, doting on her beloved girlfriend, and able to hold her ground when need be. All of this is especially true when it comes to protecting her girlfriend in some capacity. Though due to her more jovial, pun-loving, happy/friendly aspects she has, some have assumed her to be "dumb" and "impatient" due to her outward personality. Though this irks her, she has used this against opponents along with time maturing her in this regard to better handle these things in stride better than before. 

Indeed, she is actually a very intelligent person in general who tends to try to get the "feel" for the "flow" of a given situation before taking action. But this aspect of her has developed more since taking an advisory role, and as such she has gained a shrewdness that surpasses her former abilities to try to read people and situation at a younger age. Albeit she could have her hotheaded moments still on occasion. But when she does act, she still will not hesitate one bit, and will usually act with varying levels of force depending on the situation at hand and the decision she has made to fit accordingly to her perception of the matter. 

[u][b]History[/b][/u]: Diana Schwarzwald was born in Zuflucht (or "refuge"), a city of elementalists who lived just on the edge of The Black Forest in Germany, an area where they had much peace and had sufficient tourism and business in their area to be on good terms with their local area in Germany. Even so, the people there were close to the land, though with immigration of other families to this city there are many highly mixed bloodlines running deep throughout those living there. And this has been rather true with Diana herself, having German parents who are Water and Lightning Elementalists each, her paternal grandmother being American and an Flora element specialist (as an Earth Elementalist), her maternal aunt being a Fire elementalist, an older sibling who manifested the Light element, and even a cousin of hers possessing the Blood element to boot. In Zuflucht, it is actually an exciting thing among the people there to find out what elements the next generations of children eventually manifest, it has become a "coming of age" ritual of sorts that is celebrated by families and usually involves large parties with relatives (elementalist and non-elementalist) coming to visit. 

Speaking both German and English as she grew up, in part due to having some English-speaking relatives, Diana had a generally good life. Kind parents, a middle-class life, an maternal uncle who served in a distinguished Elementalist branch of the German military who'd spoil her with gifts as a very young child, relatives nearby to visit. Though amongst some of her more bragging cousins and a few of the other local children who took a bit too much pride in their elements and lauded themselves over the "undecided", this girl decided she would not take crap from those people, or those few amongst the very old generation who seemed to think she would become some housewife after learning some about her element. It was not for her, she decided, and she was going to make a life for herself as an Elementalist. Such was her decision, though eventual marriage and relationships were definitely not out of the question...just that her attractions were not among the "norm", so to say, and were never spoken of as a result to others. 

Eventually, her family decided to send her to a certain school for elementals, a long-standing tradition among their own particular family, and one that had left some relatives living near or at the Academy as well. Seeing this as the chance to escape her seeming "isolation" in Zuflucht from the rest of the world, and understanding from the accounts of others that the world was not all too kind overall to elementalists, she leapt upon her chance to go to the Academy and see what she could do to grow into as an individual and Elementalist.

However, it was here Diana would both find her element (that of Fire), and come to meet the person who would become her life partner: Kris Silva, a daughter of the Silva Royal Family. Though very literally at each other’s neck on the first day they met, the two became close, eventually engaging in a relationship a short time later after coming to terms with how they thought and felt about each other. From here Diana continued down the long road to graduation and control of her element, before finally graduating with Kris and her other peers. 

Afterwards, the teen went to live with Kris on the ice cold and chilly Ross Island, coming to work for Kris as a personal advisor for her “ice princess” as she affectionately would call her behind closed doors. There for her through thick or thin, best or worst, Diana stayed by Kris’ side always, even putting in further personal training to better herself as well. Of course as a result of her position and closeness to the princess, Diana found herself excited to come along for the ride when Kris decided to go crash a certain wedding. 

[u][b]Equipment[/b][/u]: 

Set of semi-formal attire (seen in the stop pic of her) but with casual shoes and socks for traveling purposes. 

A few changes of casual and/or traveling-worthy clothes including a swimsuit, just in case. 

A normally hidden-on-her-person switchblade knife, with a slighter longer than normal blade, made for her to help keep her employer/girlfriend safe. Due to a trick learned back in school, she can superheat the blade for added cutting power and offensive capability. The knife was made with this trick in mind, and so was made of special alloys that allow her to use this knife like that without breaking it. Course things like cutting through metal doors and cauterizing wounds are other potential uses for this knife when superheated as well. 

A one-and-a-half handed metal hammer made for one or optional two-handed use, able to be heated with flames (allowing it to bust through targets or melt things like ice or other metal targets on contact). 

Specially-crafted First aid kit (attached to her right hip on her belt) that contains basic things like painkillers, gauze, ointment, antiseptic, bandages, and a few shots of things such as penicillin and certain drugs for use in serious emergencies along with a set of two injectors and replacement sanitized needles.
