Profile
"For fuck's sake, we need a van, not a party bus."
Personality
Stubborn and ambitious, Diana’s fought, bled, and killed to get what she wants. She’s come out on the other side with nerves of steel. Not one to wear her heart on her sleeve, she can come across as apathetic without intending to. She also typically withholds personal information unless given cause to share, such as keeping her history with Vince an untold story to the Firebrands until his return to her life. As a kid, she suffered from anger issues but has since learned how to keep her anger mostly in check. She can be blunt or rude, though it’s not usually out of malice, and she’s known to be intimidating when she wants to be.
Despite the abuse she faced at the hands of the Lost MC, she remains a pack animal, which spurred her into creating the Firebrands. She requires the company of others to feel truly content, but isn’t blindly trusting. It takes work to gain her trust, but when you’ve earned her loyalty, it is unshakeable and takes precedent above all else.
Appearance
Naturally a brunette, Diana took to dying her hair a pale blonde after fleeing from the Lost MC. She almost always has her roots showing though - it’s hard for her to find time to dye it. Her hair is slightly wavy and sits around her shoulders, typically just above. Her eyes are an olive green. She has a perpetual resting bitch face that makes her generally unapproachable. Tall (5’11”), lean, and stronger than she looks. Occasionally wears eyeliner in a guy way but otherwise makeup-less.
Clothing-wise, she prefers tanks and t-shirts in neutral colors (black, white, gray). Jeans are her go-to, but she likes wearing cargo pants as well (even green camo ones). Always wearing a pair of black boots in various styles. Her crew outfit consists of a black cropped leather jacket, a hot pink tank either cropped or tucked into dark, slightly distressed jeans, and black combat boots with skull-shaped buckles. Staples of every outfit include a silver necklace with a small padlock pendant and a pair of black leather driving gloves.
Relationships
Vincent “Greaser” Adams
Vince is an old friend of Diana’s, as well as her current love interest. The duo suffered through several years in the Magnolia City chapter of the Lost Motorcycle Club when they were in their late teens/early twenties. Though initially left behind after Diana killed the President of the Lost and her abusive ex-boyfriend (Tyler Matthews) in self-defense and deserted, they’ve since reunited in Los Santos by Lester Crest hiring Vince as an extra gun on a job, unaware of his past with Diana. After they made amends (he easily forgave her, harboring no ill will), he joined the Firebrands as Road Captain. Vince has seen nearly every side of Diana and is one of the people she trusts most. To the untrained eye it may seem as though they hate each other, but their bickering and name-calling is all a form of affection. The two stars tattooed on her inner left wrist match the stars on Vince’s inner right wrist; Vince gave her this tattoo in reference to their nights in Magnolia spent stargazing.
Irene “Valkyrie” de la Cruz
Irene is a co-founder of the Firebrands alongside Diana. They were introduced to one another through their mutual contacts, Franklin and Lamar. They clicked immediately and continued working their way up the ranks until they decided to form their own crew. Irene is Diana’s best friend (though Vince would fight her on that). Irene and Diana originally shared an apartment in Little Seoul before their first lucrative heist allowed them to upgrade to a house in Vinewood Hills. Rarely seen fighting, these two are the definition of partners in crime and can often be found planning heists in the Vespucci Beach clubhouse or kicking around Sandy Shores on jobs from Trevor. The “Ride or Die” tattoo on Diana’s right arm is a match to Irene’s, and Irene also gave Diana a fire emoji tattoo on her left arm.
Michael de Santa
Michael and Diana have a… complicated relationship. Accidentally trespassing on his property during a scuffle with a former Lost member, Diana’s first impression of Michael was less than pleasant. He attached himself to her almost more than she did to him, and they formed quite the mentor-student team. However, as they’re so much alike, they frequently butt heads thanks to Michael’s short temper and Diana’s stubbornness. Still, Diana finds Michael reliable and trustworthy (despite Trevor’s claims to the contrary), so much so that she considers him the father she never had. Michael’s mandatory crew tag is “King” to match her “Princess.”
Franklin Clinton
Franklin is a very close friend of Diana’s. They first met when Diana was 20 years old and the Magnolia Lost were in Los Santos to convene with the LS Lost. The drunken head of the Magnolia Lost, Tyler, became agitated when Diana intruded on his harassment of a dancer in the Vanilla Unicorn, to which Franklin stepped in and had him removed from the club. Franklin and Diana exchanged numbers and would chat off and on after Diana returned to Texas. He was her first contact upon arriving in Los Santos many years later, and they picked up where they left off. He helped her land on her feet by introducing her to Lamar Davis and Irene de la Cruz, and the four of them ran various jobs together until Irene and Diana were picked up by Trevor and Michael respectively. Franklin and Lamar are both considered honorary Firebrands members.
Backstory
Born in Magnolia, Texas, Diana lost her parents at a very young age. She bounced from house to house, being a tough kid to handle between her short temper, kleptomania, and otherwise rebellious nature stemming from never having a stable parental figure in her life. When she was released from the system at 18 years old, she fell in with the Magnolia Lost Motorcycle Club after meeting a member named Elizabeth Jones. A few months into being a prospect, she entered a relationship with the president, Tyler Matthews, despite the six year age gap as a result of struggling with her sexuality/feelings for Liz and being pressured by Tyler himself.
Her time as a young prospect as well as one of few women in the club made her a prime target for harassment both physically and verbally. Tyler is the main perpetrator of this, belittling her frequently for showing too much attention to Liz or acting too much “like a man.” Liz was no better, purposefully making Diana uncomfortable for the sake of the guys and later offering false comfort to manipulate Diana into believing she genuinely cared about her. Without the support system or experience required to understand how volatile these relationships really were, Diana remained stuck between the two for years following her being patched in.
Another prospect by the name of Vincent Adams befriended her around the time she started dating Tyler. A year younger than herself but far braver, he would instigate fights between older members to draw attention away from her. They were fast friends, soon becoming nearly inseparable (unless Tyler was nearby). More than once they discussed what it would be like to leave Magnolia, though nothing concrete ever came out of it.
As the years passed, Vince’s confidence would rub off on Diana until, at her breaking point, she would break ties with the Lost. After ~three years of wandering alone (wherein she rescued a Doberman puppy she named Bruno), she eventually found her way to Los Santos.
Present Day
Present day finds Diana living in Vinewood Hills with Irene after some time spent running Lamar’s lowrider jobs together. Since their arrivals in LS, they’ve co-founded the Los Santos Firebrands using the teachings provided by Michael and Trevor. Diana and Irene have also since reunited with the companions they had previously left behind, folding Vincent Adams and Mateo Torres into their crew as Road Captain and Sergeant at Arms respectively.
Currently the Firebrands are in the process of expanding their reach across San Andreas via gunrunning, drug dealing, and heisting in general.
Trivia
Her crew name “Princess” was taken from Vince mockingly calling her that whenever she chastised him back in their Lost days.
She uses lollipops to curb her cigarette cravings when she’s stressed out.
Her southern accent isn’t super noticeable unless she’s angry and/or swearing.
The tattoo sleeve on her left arm is comprised of tattoos from various people in both the Magnolia Lost and the Firebrands.
Her motorcycle of choice is her black and hot pink Hakuchou.
