History

Pre-series

Diana in her childhood, finding the mysterious pendant

A few years before turning ten, Diana found in her home an old trunk containing a pendant and a book with memories of an old Trainer's journey. The text that Diana found in this book motivated her to travel on her own journey to find out if these stories were real. Together with her Growlithe, who would later become a huge Arcanine, Diana traveled the world in search of answers, but was unable to find any. This meant that thirty years later, she decided to stop looking for answers about this legend. During this time, she met a man named Hamber who attempt to offer to join the Explorers organization for someone who could aid her adventures, but she became highly alarmed that the organization actually wants to obtain her pendant, so she refused an offer.

At some point in the past, she told her daughter, Lucca, the story of Lucius. This story was also told to her son-in-law, which inspired him to use it as the subject of one of his books.

Diana in her early days as a Trainer

Approximately one year before the events of HZ001, Diana gave a mysterious pendant to her granddaughter. She told Liko that she should trust her Pokémon to face fear and that this pendant would become important for her in the future. Some time after this, Hamber returned, wanting to introduce Diana to Gibeon, who he said had the answers she was looking for. However, she realized that the man she knew was just another member of the Explorers that was after the pendant. This caused her to suggest that Lucca call a group of adventurers called the Rising Volt Tacklers to protect Liko and the pendant.

Pokémon Horizons: The Series

In HZ001, Amethio introduced himself to Liko as someone sent by her grandmother, however this turned out to be a lie and his interest was only in the pendant and the power it possessed.

In HZ003, she was briefly seen in Liko's dream. In the dream, Liko remembered the day she received the pendant as a gift.

Diana reappeared in HZ009 during a flashback to Liko's earlier dream.

In HZ012, it was revealed that Diana was living somewhere in the Galar region. Liko and the other members of the Rising Volt Tacklers then decided to travel there.

Diana confronting Hamber

In HZ024, Diana was at her Old Castle, where she reunited with Liko and met her friends Roy and Friede, who was one of Lucca's student. Diana also met Liko's Pokémon partners Sprigatito and Hatenna, which excited her. Also, Diana reunited with Terapagos and explained her past to Liko and her friends. However, the Explorers, who have been following Liko and her friends, arrived at their location.

In the next episode, Diana tried to escape with the Rising Volt Tacklers, taking with her research items on Lucius, but she was confronted again by Hamber. After a brief but harsh conversation, she decided to escape through a collapsed wall, leaving her former friend behind. Later, Diana briefly joined the Rising Volt Tacklers and revealed to Liko some of the secrets she discovered about Lucius and the identities of the other Pokémon he had in ancient times.

Character

Diana as a young woman

As described by Liko, her grandmother is an adventurer, who travels all over the world and this ends up with her not having a fixed residence, never revealing her whereabouts to her family.
