Diane is a female anime and manga character who features in The Seven Deadly Sins.

Biography

Diane (Japanese: ディアンヌ, Hepburn: Diannu) was a female member of the Giant Clan where she was born to parents who were noted warriors of their people.

Around 700 years ago, she looked to leave the Giant Clan due to her hatred of the constant fighting of her people. During her departure, she came to form two rock-like golems tat accompanied her where she spoke to them even though tey were unable to talk back to her. In that time, she was shown to always be playing alone as she found that there were no other living beings that would accept her. At one time, however; Diane found an injured King lying unconscious on a riverbank and nursed the fairy back to health. King, who had taken a hard blow to his head, had lost all memories of his past and in his gratitude spent the next five hundred years playing with and protecting Diane. Diane later met an old man, a human, who offered Diane and King some food despite them being Fairy and a Giant. King was wary with the old man and told Diane to be careful around humans. Due to unknown reasons, Diane ended up getting a fever, in which King panicked due to Fairies never having fevers and went out to get herbs. However, Diane stopped him, telling him to not ever leave her side since she didn't want to be alone anymore. The old man who gave them food found them, and concocted a herbal medicine for Diane's fever, eventually curing her of her ailment. As soon as Diane got better, King and Diane ended up playing tag with each other, as King told her that if she caught him, he will grant her a wish.

Several hundred years later, Diane came to mature into a young woman where she was placed under the tutelage of Matrona alongside another giantess named Dolores.

The defeated Prankster Imps retreated to a sleeping Diane thus inadvertently leading Meliodas, Elizabeth and Hawk to her. Diane awoke immediately upon hearing the Imps apologies for allowing a Holy Knight to come through, since they believed Meliodas to be one, and then instantly grabs Meliodas with one hand. After realizing his identity, however, she cuddles her captain, and when Elizabeth introduces herself to be traveling with him, throws a tantrum. Meliodas, after calming Diane, begins a discussion on the day the Deadly Sins were framed for the Great Holy Knight Zaratras's murder. However, he also reveals that he has almost no memories of that day, and then narrates the only memories he has, which end with someone apologizing to him, addressing him as 'captain'. This leads Elizabeth to speculate the existence of a traitor, and Diane, to declare that she will help Meliodas no matter the foe. Few moments later, Hawk notices a gigantic thundercloud in the sky, from which a lightning bolt descends and immobilizes all of them, with Elizabeth introducing the assailant Holy Knight as Gilthunder. After he leads her away, ending her interruption, he expresses his desire to fight Meliodas, and reveals his connection to Zaratras, the Great Holy Knight. Before the battle, Meliodas and Diane easily break his immobilization themselves, and the former instructs the latter not to interfere. Diane quietly observes the battle, watching worriedly when Meliodas is gravely slashed. When Gilthunder continues attacking Meliodas and refuses to end the battle, Diane grabs him, and ignoring his attempts to escape her grip, flings him from the forest. Sometime afterward, Diane leaves along with her captain, Hawk, and Elizabeth. Meliodas decides to head for Baste Dungeon, where Ban, the Fox's Sin of Greed is imprisoned, leading Elizabeth to object, citing his grave wound at Gilthunder's hands. Though he affirms her that it is not major, he soon collapses.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Diane resembled a human though being of the giant race meant that she towered over their kind. She was a fair maiden possessing a well-endowed and curvaceous figure who was said to be lovely and beautiful with purple eyes alongside medium length brown hair tied into large twin tails. Among the Seven Deadly Sins, she was known as the Serpent's Sin of Envy.

Due to her size, she cannot help Meliodas in any way other than fight for him. She has expressed her strong desire to be smaller, contrary to Elizabeth's desire to be strong. Despite Diane stating that she has no interest in humans, she still selflessly saves people who are in danger like when she risked her life to protect the elderly man in Vaizel and Zeal.

Despite her parents skill, it was said that their fighting instinct was noted passed to their daughter. By the time she was a Seven Deadly Sin, she was shown as being very confident in her abilities.

After her parents death, she was raised and trained by Matrona (マトローナ) saw Diane as a younger sister.

Initially, she had an infatuation with Meliodas as a result of their first meeting where he protected her from a group of bandits.

Powers and abilities

Diane was a Giant where she had all the traits inherent with the species such as being much larger than a human with strength proportionate to her size. In addition, she possessed a long lifespan where she was able to survive for centuries.

Merlin was able to use her magic to shrink Diane to a more human size so that she could interact with the others. She was able to reverse the spell and restore Diane to her true size.

Melascula came to note that her strength became comparable to that of the Giant King Drole. Drole himself believed that eventually Diane would become a greater ruler of the Giant Clan than himself because her love made her stronger than mere combat power. From the Giant King, she came to learn a technique created by him that was called Drole's Dance where the special technique helped increase Diane's connection to the earth and increased her power the longer it was carried out.

As a member of the Giant race, she had the natural ability of Creation(創造クリエイション, Kurieishon). Due to their deep connection to the earth, they had the power to manipulate it to achieve a variety of effects.

• Double Hammer (双拳ダブルハンマー Daburu Hanmā; literally meaning "Double Punch") :
