Amelie Savard had Diana as her dance instructor during her brief time at McGehee. Despite the masculine young woman’s difficulty fitting in among the school, the two got along well, and Diana was one of Amelie’s favorite teachers. Amelie’s aunt Christina Roberts claimed that Diana’s ex-husband regularly “beat her until her eyes were too swollen to see through” and attempted to saw off her leg with a hacksaw in a drunken rage.

Diana visited Emil Kane when he was hospitalized following the events at the LaLaurie House. She found the injured lawman rather stiff and strange, but left him with some tuna sandwiches and apple slices she’d brought for the families of the McGehee students injured that same night.

To come.

Diana was happy to serve as a smiling, happy housewife to Maxen Flores for the first 13 years of her marriage. That changed in 2003 when her husband took a hacksaw to her leg following an infidelity accusation that sent her to the hospital and ended her ballet career. Celia witnessed the attack, and was later in the hospital with her mother to see the result of Maxen’s abuse. There, Diana confessed that Maxen was not Celia’s father; her real father was Ronald Landreneau, whom she met at at party when she was 17.

Though she became estranged with the rest of her children, Diana continued a relationship with Celia and helped her raise the money to get into cos school in 2008. She even bought Celia a car once she started her college career at Tulane so that the two could finally visit. Diana later met Stephen Garrison, Celia’s then-boyfriend, and let the pair convince her into filing for bankruptcy to discharge the obscene amount of medical debt she had been under, as well as file a lawsuit against the insurance company. Things were looking up for Diana.

At least until 2009, when Celia decided to go after Maxen and get him arrested. Following that evening, Diana and Emily took Celia to the hospital, where the three of them met and disclosed their statements to Detective Peter Lebeaux. Diana picked up her children from CPS and filed a restraining order against Maxen, which did absolutely nothing when her former husband was released from jail and came to collect his children. He took Diana as well and spent the night raping, beating, and otherwise torturing his ex, and finally tied her to the bed so he could take a hacksaw to her feet to finish the job he had started years ago. Luckily, Celia was in time to save her mother. Her toes were later reattached by the back-alley surgeon Doc Xola, which Diana was unconscious for.

As of 2016, Diana lives a quiet life. Maxen’s rape led to the 2010 birth of another child, Lucy, that Celia claimed as hers to keep out of her father’s clutches. Diana has enjoyed the settlement she received from winning the lawsuit against the insurance company, as well as the added child support that her ex is entitled to pay. She bought a home in the French Quarter and was able to assist Celia with a business loan to launch her spa. Diana still teaches at McGehee and has enjoyed the addition of Emily Rosure to her family as an adoptive daughter. She is a frequent sight at Flawless, where she sees Celia once a week for a variety of treatments. It was during one of these treatments that she told her daughter about her brother Logan’s girl trouble (he’d hit his girlfriend), and offered her some romantic advice.

Twice a week she teaches Simmone Devillers private ballet lessons. The family asked her to teach a class to give Simmone some company her own age, for which Caroline Malveaux-Devillers was present. Diana was distraught when she walked in on Caroline kissing Celia, which led to the Ventrue Dominating her into misremembering her with Autumn instead. After the lesson, a still upset Diana told Celia about nightmares she had been experiencing:

Half of this nightmare has already come true. Diana was used as a lesson to teach Celia about her place in the world when her sire learned that she had been trespassing in the Garden District. The next morning, Diana was sick and reached out for help. It was, unfortunately, her husband that answered the call. In the days since Diana has said that it really wouldn’t be so bad to get back together with him, would it? Neither Celia nor Emily have any intention of letting that happen.

Shortly after she woke up sick, the vampire Jade discovered Diana’s truth: after repeated and increasingly physical fights with her mother Payton Underwood, the older woman sent her daughter to the “finishing school” ran by the Malkavian Elyse Benson to reform her. Elyse did all that and more, and showed Jade a video of Diana’s horrific torture. Jade frenzied on Elyse in anger, fled the dollhouse, and sent Celia to collect the woman in case Elyse’s servants sought to retrieve her. This suspicion proved well-founded, as Diana had already left the house to turn herself back over to her abusers when they threatened Lucy over the phone.

During that meeting, Celia finally told her mother the truth.

Diana took to the news that her daughter was a vampire with surprising calm. She smuggled Celia, transformed into a cat, out of their home to avoid the threat of assassins and kidnappers. Diana brought Celia to safety at her ghoul’s house, then overfed her starving daughter with too much of her own blood and passed out. Celia revived her mother with a drink from her wrist and sealed her fate as a ghoul.

Since then, Celia has explained the rules to Diana. Things got out of hand when Diana couldn’t come to terms with the fact that she was an addict and repeatedly begged for blood, and a displeased Jade made an appearance to teach her a lesson. Diana meekly submitted to the Toreador’s humiliating punishments, only for a horrified Celia to then exhort her mother to stand up for herself. The pair drove Jade off and discussed their options moving forward.

Evenings later, Diana met with Dr. Dicentra to have a tattoo put on herself so she could pass as a normal human. She still wants to have dinner with her estranged husband but has agreed to “take it slow.”

Celia learned from Janine Clairmont that Lucy, the doll, had a personality of her own inside of her. When Celia spoke to her mother about it the woman confessed that “Lucy” had been with her since birth and separated from her body by Elyse during her training. They discussed putting the pair of them back together again.

Since then Diana has begun to adapt to her new life as a ghoul and has endeavored to make herself useful to her daughter by learning to fence. More useful, though, she’s begun to offer cover stories for Celia’s frequent disappearances during the day and finally stopped foisting off human food on her daughter, offering something a little more palatable instead. She assisted Celia with some research into a problem she had been having with hunters and hosted a dinner for Henry Garrison, then took Emily and Lucy to safety when Roderick and Donovan showed up at the same time and got into a fight on the roof.

A few nights later Diana hosted a rather tense dinner for her ex-husband, Maxen, and Celia’s new boyfriend, who was actually her old boyfriend from college in disguise, Roderick Durant. When Celia and Diana found Lucy snooping on their dinner they put her back to bed and explained that she couldn’t see her grandfather because “sometimes he’s mean, and we want to make sure he won’t hurt you.” During dinner Diana found out that her estranged daughter, Isabel, was missing. She let Maxen stay to comfort her when Celia left to pursue a few leads and attend to various Kindred responsibilities.

When Celia returned she brought the Lucy doll with her, concerned that the doll had shown up earlier at her mother’s home and seemed to be moving on her own. Diana was cuddling on the couch with Maxen while a nonplussed Emily looked on. Celia and Diana had a private chat where the latter woman “merged” with the personality trapped inside of Lucy. A newly confident and steel-spined Diana kicked Maxen out of her home and life for good after giving him a thorough tongue-lashing.

Celia, Emily, and Diana spoke at length about Celia’s “condition,” and Celia confessed to her mother that Isabel wasn’t missing but rather a vampire known as Roxanne. Unfortunately she had met her final death a week ago, for which Celia blamed the scourge or her childe. An inexplicable fire erupted in the house concurrently with Diana’s rage; Celia later attributed it to her mother having hitherto unseen pyrokinetic abilities. After Emily put out the fire, an exhausted Diana finally curled up with Lucy in bed and fell asleep.

The following evening Jade came to the house late at night with a child of her own, whose cries woke Diana. Diana confronted the vampire with a carving knife and made her leave. When Celia came back the pair spoke at length about the child, who Celia said had been abused by her prior caretaker, and Diana offered to take her in. Diana and Celia took Lucy to meet with Celia’s friend Caroline to erase her memories of some Kindred-sensitive information she’d overheard that broke the Masquerade. The meeting did not go well due to a personality conflict between Diana and Caroline, however, and the Ventrue did not end up performing the service for them. The pair called Peter Lebeaux instead, who showed up a few hours later to erase Lucy’s memories and put things to right in the Flores household. He gave Diana advice about how to protect herself and her home and, when asked how she could repay him, told the woman (who’d admitted she no longer wanted to be a ghoul) to “take your juice, Mrs. Flores.” A resigned Diana chose to comply for her family’s sake.

After the Tremere left, Celia and Diana discussed a number of things about this new life of hers, and Celia confessed to a handful of terrible things she had done… including being the one to murder her sister, Isabel. Diana forgave her daughter and said she’d always love her. She later asked to speak to Jade and smoothed things out with the fickle Toreador during a heart-to-heart in the car that culminated in Jade calling Diana “Mom.”
