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 this, some have assumed her to be "dumb" and "impatient" due to her outward personality, a thing she loathes. Yet in reality she is an intelligent person in general who tends to try to get the "feel" for the "flow" of a given situation before taking action. But when she does act, she will not hesitate, 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.
This being said, she is a teenager, and between hormones, anger, and other emotions she can still act out impulsively and otherwise like those of her age group are prone to do anyways, just that on the average she isn't as prone to being impulsive. She does have a softer side when it comes to those close to her or very young children, and is more willing to try to soften things up for them if she feels it is possible to do so. Romance is a thing she takes into account as well, albeit feeling a bit awkward in this respect, and her "sexual preference" is something she is actually hesitant in speaking about of all things. She is an avid swimmer, greatly enjoying the activity as a pastime of hers when she can, and uses the activity as a way to "clear her head" when she has a lot on her mind to boot.
History:
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 the Elemental Academy, 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 grow into as an individual...and as an elementalist.
Equipment:
-Thick Plastic Hammer (Training Weapon), one handed weapon with a long enough handle to have the option to two-handed wield it if she desires. A versatile weapon in that respect.
-A pair of silver earrings with sapphires in them, belonging to her maternal uncle's wife, who died of cancer shortly after seeing her niece (Diana) for the first time.
