Basic Info

Carrying a pear-shaped physique, this Midlander is a bit on the heavier side with slight muscle tone. Closer inspection of her form displays three scars, one travels along her left thigh- roughly 3 ilms in length. The second can be found on her left shoulder, only about an ilm long. And the final noticeable scar is the one on her forehead. Countless lacerations trail from her freckled cheeks to her forehead, more so concentrated on and around her eyes. While her left eye is still in good condition, her right is slightly lazy and completely useless. Former mint green eyes are now a shade of violet as well.

Despite all disheartening events that have happened to her, she is still a somewhat bubbly character. But, that can quickly shift if one was to anger her, being blind does not stop her from swinging and flailing her arms in a fit of rage. When not seeing red, she can be found having a drink down at her company's bar, or out at the Bismarck in Limsa.

RUMORS Some of these rumors are untrue or are greatly exaggerated. Please feel free to add your own rumors under PC! ◢ Common Rumors (Easily overheard) ■ "The Barlow girl? Saw her running up to a grumpy Miqo'te once, told her to sod off. She just shrugged and walked on with a bounce in her step." ■ "When she was a wee lass, I'd always see her racing up and down the path near Ul'dah on her family's chocobos. One went to bucking and she stayed on somehow, brave-- but dumb girl." ■ "She is always smiling, find it strange. Do you think maybe she is under the influence? Or she is really good at hiding her feelings." ■ "The girl somehow got her hands on these weird goggles. Calls them aetherical or somethin' other. She isn't seen too often wearing them however." ◢ Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear) ■ "She got in a fight with her friend once. Punched her square on the nose, then headbutted her. Crazy, that one." ■ "I heard she was going blind. And they can't seem to figure out why, and no way of curing it either. The poor sweetheart..." ■ "Diana once had blonde hair, likes to dye her hair many shades of the rainbow. But her natural color is black, I don't know why she would want to change such a beautiful hue." ◢ Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard) ■ "She was wandering through the Shroud. Looking for another Midlander with her brother. Perhaps to profuse her love to him? Eh, that was at least one moon ago." ■ "Heard this off-key singing down in the basement of Ms. Stringer's old estate. But it was her, dancing and swinging about with a bottle of booze." ■ "Her mother comes by, says she wishes her daughter were more ladylike. Mrs. Barlow is given such a hard time by that girl." ◢ PC Rumors (Rumors from the character's of other players) ■ ■ ■ ■

RELATIONS ♥ Romantic Interest ♥ Platonic Love ● Good Standing ● Neutral standing ● Poor Standing ♥ Jayne Avery : She met the man while performing her duties as a mender for the Coterie. She would meet him quite often to treat his ailments, she finds him a bit too reckless in caring for himself. Even with her policy against dating employees, she sees him as charming and sometimes easy to get along with. Diana no longer fights her attraction to him, and now the pair can be seen being affection-- when they aren't screaming at each other for some reason or another. ♥ A'shar Nesita : The woman will tell you this Miqo'te tossed unwarranted insults her way one day while she was visiting some old friends in the Gladiator's guild. Like a lost pup, he shadowed her home, claiming that she would be his new teacher. Begrudgingly, she accepted, dragging him into the estate to reassure him that she would take him on as a pupil. As of recent events, the Hyur has allowed the Seeker a place in her heart. **However, the young man vanished in a blink of an eye, she isn't sure where he is. But she hopes the best for him. ♥ Evander Barlow : Ever since she could have memories, she has been making them with her brother. Always willing to put up a fight for the Midlander sibling, especially since recent events nearly severing their bond. He has been teaching her all he knows in her dream of becoming a free roam Paladin. ♥ Emmette Stringers : Having met at a mutual friend's birthday party; when Diana was eight years old. The two have been inseparable ever since. The raven-haired girl seems to bring out the playful side of this 'no nonsense', fiery-haired one. ♥ J'allat Tia : Absolutely adoring this young aspiring chef, she'll risk her life defending this adorable Miqo'te. Commonly coddling him and offering him rides on Chariot. Gladly tasting his recipes without any hesitation, there is a clear admiration from the two. ● J'umago Nunh : An ever cautious eye is kept on this Seeker for the sake of his children. Even if the two don't always agree on some matters, she holds some respect for this Jackal. ● Gratus Stormbearer : Following Emmette after a quick drink, they wandered to the Highlander asking for simple smithing work. There is evidence that the gentleman has his eyes set on the girl, but Diana isn't quite sure what to make of her own feelings for him. ● Dante Thalmos : She finds this man to be good company. Often seeking to speak with him over idle chatter, to venting out all of her problems. She always bringing his chocobo companion treats as well...

Inspiration for her voice. Not entirely a voiceclaim, but something like it!

This character was my entire inspiration for Diana. ((I highly recommend watching Little Witch Academia!))

((I am open to all sorts of RP! Of course, please understand I will politely decline if I see any sort of metaing. If you wish to have my character involved in some dicey or life changing stuff, please ask. Especially would consider it if asked! I prefer RPing on the game, but I am open to RP on skype as well.))
