Background / History
Diana is a Chinese-born woman of the Dai family whose ancestors were Russian nobles; her family has nevertheless held Chinese nationality for eighteen generations. Three generations of the Dai family have worked in public service, particularly in external missions. Her blonde hair, blue eyes, and Caucasian appearance make her a natural fit for operations requiring a Western-looking cover. 1039 1198
Her relationship with Li Bai began as an arrangement made by their fathers. She introduced herself to him by bluntly declaring that she was his girlfriend, then immediately demonstrated that she had prepared defenses against his hypnosis. 72
While assigned to Interpol, Diana served as China’s liaison officer and clashed professionally with Congo (Kinshasa) liaison Allen Brandt. She opposed involving Li Bai in dangerous cases despite recognizing his usefulness, distinguishing clearly between her personal life and her work. 75 She later led Security Bureau agents during the failed attempt to apprehend Landon Hawkwill after the target died before the operation could begin. 80
Diana commanded a joint China–Myanmar operation against drug traffickers in a tropical rainforest, where her rapid reaction prevented her team from being overwhelmed. By this period, she was known within Interpol as “Princess Consort.” 203 She subsequently planned a Security Bureau Level Four operation in Malaysia and brought Li Bai in as its accompanying doctor and trusted source of observation, while taking special care to keep him out of direct danger. 240
During the Qing Tian Clan crisis in Japan, Diana remained cautious about directly entangling the Security Bureau in a Japanese conglomerate conflict. Nevertheless, she protected Li Bai, gathered intelligence, helped warn the clan of Yakuza activity, and passed along Li Bai’s mercenary contacts without formally connecting them to Chinese authorities. 667 672 675 685
Diana later escorted a large metal box containing Li Bai’s monster trophy from Mogadishu. Although she led the mission, Li Bai secretly completed its shipment by unconventional means, leaving her unable to determine how the target had been moved. 1201 1210 1213
She asked Li Bai to infiltrate the Saint’s Association as an informant for China. Afterward, she led “Princess Consort’s Team” into the Middle East on a mission to eliminate Black Snow, personally handling field command and intelligence reconnaissance. 1450 1711 In the Tar Desert, she and her team used Li Bai’s access to enter the Saint’s Association camp and later coordinated the camp’s defense during the conflict involving the Dragon Knight Order, Aladdin, zombies, and the Outer Heavenly Evil God. 1736 1752 1772
Appearance
Diana has a distinctly Caucasian appearance despite being Chinese: soft golden-blonde hair, blue eyes, fair skin, and a notably curvaceous figure. Her appearance is repeatedly mistaken for that of a foreigner and serves as an effective operational disguise. 72 664 1198
- Blonde hair and blue eyes 72
- Fair complexion and a “white swan”-like neck 1198
- Can pass easily as a Western foreign national during overseas work 655 1198
- Speaks Mandarin, including an authentic Northeastern accent, and English with a London accent 72 655 1738
Personality
Diana is confident, direct, and highly professional. Her first meeting with Li Bai is marked by her unhesitating declaration that he is now her boyfriend; in operations, she is decisive enough to issue orders immediately when a threat emerges. 72 1752
Her public and private demeanors differ sharply. Around colleagues, she is a composed commander who expects discipline and can reprimand subordinates without hesitation. Around Li Bai, she becomes playful, affectionate, occasionally clingy, and more willing to show uncertainty or fear. 203 240 270
Despite the lethal nature of her profession, Diana values the ordinary peace of her life with Li Bai. She regards those moments as relief from the accumulated stress, danger, and bloodshed of field work. 663 Her protectiveness can also become ruthless: when confronted by hostile mercenaries, she considers eliminating them to avoid leaving loose ends. 1205
