In more casual environments, her personal attire does not change much except for opting to wear sweaters when given the chance. For her summer vacation, she primarily packed jeans, khakis, and blouses suited for warm weather.

Moreso after being in a committed relationship with the same man since college, Diane never gave her sexuality too much thought [b][color=skyblue]Relationship Status:[/color][/b] Married, presumably if her husband is alive [b][color=skyblue]Personality:[/color][/b] Diane maintains an upbeat and approachable attitude. After spending nineteen years working as a high school teacher, she tried to be a warm person so that her students could come to her with any issues. She ingrained herself within the Glen Rock public education system which allowed her to work within a strong and cooperative environment. Often in her classes, she would assign group projects so that her students could learn to work together through their issues. On the other hand, Diane came from a privileged lifestyle. Her father found a high-paying and reliable job after serving in the military and her mother lived as a housewife. Her older brother went to college for law, she went to college for history, and her younger brother enlisted with the Army. Her parents were able to afford sending their kids to university, at least for a short enough time. There was never a day when Diane worried about where the next meal would come from or being behind on bills. Because of this, Diane doesn’t understand what it means to struggle or how to properly respond to her anger.

She was the middle child of three. Her older brother being David Jr and her younger being Henry. Her father served in the military for four years before settling down with Susan where he worked as a mechanic. The Foster family had the traditional middle-class suburban lifestyle---a holdover of the 1950s dream. Coming from a military family, she gained a fascination with history which encouraged her to attend Norfolk State University starting in 2001. In fall of 2002, she met Paul Beaufort, her future husband at a Christmas party. There were cupcakes being served at the function in which some of them fell onto the ground. As an attendant was about to toss them out, both Paul and Diane stopped them. They didn’t want to see good cupcakes go to waste. After exchanging contact information, Paul and Diane started dating not long after. In the spring of 2005, Diane graduated with a Bachelor’s in History and Paul with a Bachelor’s in Accounting. The two married on July 18th, 2005 before moving to Glen Rock, New Jersey. Diane Beaufort worked as a high school teacher while Paul worked in an accounting firm. He served as the main breadwinner for the family. On November 17th, 2007, Diane gave birth to her beautiful child Amelia Joan Beaufort. As a mother, she did her best to be as supportive and nurturing; however, when it came to school she would be overbearing. She encouraged AJ to receive tutoring if her grades fell behind and pushed her to enroll into extracurricular activities. Outside of school, the family had close bonds. Once every week they would play board games, go out to the movie theater once a month, and try to take vacations every summer. All in all, they had a privileged and nice home. Unfortunately, the dream life for the college sweethearts came to an end when Diane learned that her husband Paul was having an affair with his secretary a few months prior to the vacation. Diane was conflicted on filing for divorce or pushing for marriage counseling. In her naivety, she hid Paul’s affair from AJ and suggested the family continue on their summer vacation so AJ could experience one last family vacation before the family life crumbles even more. In a twisted turn of fate, she finds herself trapped on the island trying to protect AJ from the horrors while dealing with the disappearance of her husband.
