Background

Diana was one of four witches who used Susie’s Shelter as their base before it became associated with the Golden Plains Adventurer Guild. When Susie proposed that the group level up to acquire Soul Drain, Diana suggested a more efficient alternative: converting the skill into magic knowledge scrolls so witches could learn it without the same leveling burden. The proposal was limited by the immense material and production costs of such scrolls. 267

She later developed a Temporary Departure Scroll and personally tested it at Lan Qingyou’s Witch Habitat. Its successful activation established a Shelter in the Witch Forest, allowing Diana to share the Shelter with Lan Qingyou. 297

Before becoming a witch, Diana studied urban planning as a university elective. This background informed her early interest in the development of the Witch Forest and later enabled her to formulate Typhon’s large-scale urban-development plans. 298 299

Personality

Diana is an inquisitive researcher with a practical, strategic mind. Her curiosity is especially apparent when encountering unfamiliar magical technology, urban-development possibilities, and new forms of transportation or magic. 297 299 356

As an administrator, she favors planning, delegation, and gathering sufficient intelligence before acting. During the early stages of the invasion of the Land of Abandonment, she prioritized stability and cautioned against escalating matters before identifying the force behind the attacks. 449

The prolonged Abandoned War hardened her outlook. After months of defending the Perching Giant Tree and witnessing the losses suffered by her people, she rejected her former conciliatory approach and committed herself to retaliation against those who targeted witches. 460

Diana remains deeply protective of Black Witches under her care. She prioritizes evacuation and containment measures during major threats, personally establishes safety thresholds when dealing with dangerous monsters, and safeguarded the recovered Magic Eyes of deceased witches until Lan Qingyou returned. 695 1117

Despite her usual authority, Diana relaxes around Lan Qingyou and is more openly reliant on her Patriarch’s presence. 692

Her admiration for Lan Qingyou can lead her to idealize her Patriarch’s actions. After seeing Lan Qingyou’s severely damaged legs following the battle with Kesuya’s clone, Diana accepted Lan Qingyou’s account that the injuries came from the fight and concluded that she had sacrificed herself to protect the others. Diana did not know that Lan Qingyou’s own magic had caused the damage. 1217

Relationships

• Lan Qingyou — Her Patriarch and the Origin Witch. Diana serves as Lan Qingyou’s chief administrator, implements her broad policies, and collaborates with her on Typhon’s development, wartime strategy, magical research, and Eureka’s management. During Lan Qingyou’s disappearance, Diana acted as Chief Steward for the Black Witches and safeguarded the relics of their fallen clanswomen until Lan Qingyou returned. After the battle with Kesuya’s clone, Diana mistook injuries caused by Lan Qingyou’s own magic for evidence that the Patriarch had sacrificed her legs to protect the others. 299 460 1079 1117 1217

Story Role / Major Arcs

Development of the Land of Abandonment

Diana drafted a comprehensive development plan for the Land of Abandonment: establish a Witch Academy, develop the Abandoned Ruins and coast, recruit students, organize districts, and expand the Witch Forest through layered Magic Arrays. Lan Qingyou entrusted her with city planning, reconstruction, and harbor affairs. 299

She formalized Typhon’s administration by nominating department heads and founding the Patrol Squad to address high-level monsters and outside disturbances. She also secured Lan Qingyou’s appointment as the Witch Academy’s honorary principal and requested introductory textbooks on alchemy, pharmacology, and Magic Puppet production. 313 314

Diana later led discussions on increasing Typhon’s permanent population, set a deadline for the administration to find solutions, and supported the policy of attracting entire smaller races rather than isolated Transmigrators. 315 319 321

Typhon and High Tower Expansion

Diana helped name the Witch Race’s capital, proposing symbols associated with monsters and destruction before Lan Qingyou chose the name Typhon. The World Will subsequently recognized it as the first official city on the Karim Continent. 314

She organized the large-scale Typhon auction, used it to attract smaller tribes, and managed the resulting increase in trade and population. 321 347

As the auction’s influence spread throughout the Karim Continent, Diana monitored its commercial effects, including the substantial rise in sales of Witch-made products and the territorial demands of relocated races. 347

Witch Hunts and the Abandoned War

After receiving reports that witches were being hunted for their blood, Diana convened the administrators, ordered scattered witches not to travel alone, directed the Witch Corps to strengthen defenses, and sought Lilith’s assistance in analyzing witch blood. 444 445

When the Feathered Race and Little People Race invaded, Diana ordered witches to gather at the Central Habitat or nearby Shelters, prohibited contact with unevolved Transmigrators, and initiated measures to secure or destroy valuable resources rather than let them fall into enemy hands. 449

The struggle for the Perching Giant Tree lasted eight months. Once the invaders abruptly withdrew, Diana ordered their abandoned corpses burned and began organizing a retaliatory sweep to identify every participant and recover information on stolen Magic Eyes. 460

Counterattack and Recovery

Diana continued coordinating the Witch Race’s retaliation after the war, adopting a policy of locating and eliminating invaders and traitors regardless of who might stand behind them. 472

She received and organized research data on resurrection magic, including theory, clinical records, and post-operation observations, for Lan Qingyou’s review. 472

When Lan Qingyou learned that Demon Hunters used Magic Eyes taken from fallen witches, Diana vowed to recover the dead witches’ remains and supported plans to retaliate through curse magic and the mass production of Magic Books. 486 488

Following the war and the witches’ reprisals, the Land of Abandonment became exclusively inhabited by the Witch Race; even races that had resisted the invaders were rewarded before being relocated beyond its outer boundary. 484

Eureka and the New Continent

As Chief Executive of Flying City Eureka, Diana managed the city’s early operational issues, including cases of magic intoxication caused by its high-altitude magic concentration. 513

Diana also handled Eureka’s external affairs. She empowered Helen to negotiate with the Necro Race, rejected its proposal to become a Witch vassal, and prepared the framework for an alliance involving joint defense, resource exchange, research, and operations against hostile forces. 547 548

She directed the construction of a Teleportation Plaza near Typhon Lake after receiving the White Witches’ blueprint, assigning Helen to manage the project with Necro Race labor. 763

During Lan Qingyou’s century-long disappearance, Diana directed the Black Witches’ migration toward the New Continent in order to search for their missing Patriarch. She also arranged for orphans and slaves from Storm Island to be brought back and cultivated as witches, while using a portion of the remaining Witch Potions to create and expand the Black Witch population. 1074 1076

By the time Lan Qingyou returned, the Black Witches numbered approximately 100,000. Diana immediately carried out Lan Qingyou’s order to return the majority of them to Eureka for reconstruction. 1076

After Lan Qingyou returned, Diana was entrusted with managing the public response to Eureka’s transformation into a Pure Magic Zone following the activation of Lan Qingyou’s level-ten Shelter. 1079

Reconstruction of Eureka

Diana helped prepare Eureka for looming threats by arranging materials for defensive Magic Arrays and organizing scouting and logistical work for operations in the Aurora Icefield. 1091

She announced that the eggs brought to Eureka originated from the Dragon Race under the Star Dragon King, causing a major reaction among the Black Witches. 1091

Diana later delivered recovered Magic Eyes from deceased Black Witches to Lan Qingyou for secure preservation, believing that decisions concerning the fallen witches’ remains belonged to their Patriarch. 1116 1117

When Lan Qingyou began expanding Eureka’s Ancient Tree resources, Diana immediately organized the planting of Ancient Tree Fruits and the establishment of the Tree Garden beside the Herb Garden. 1153

When Lan Qingyou revealed the Star Dragon King’s enormous body beneath the Perching Giant Tree, Diana questioned her on behalf of the gathered witches. She recognized the extraordinary value of its scales, claws, horns, and whiskers as alchemical and crafting materials, even as the witches reacted with reverence to the remains of the Dragon whose blood was connected to their evolution. 1175

Kesuya Crisis and Jormungandr’s Remains

As forces converged on the Land of Abandonment, Lan Qingyou ordered an evacuation and instructed Diana to withdraw half of the Giant Slayer Squad to guard the evacuees. Diana coordinated the defensive deployment and reported that veteran members of the former 88 Witch Corps, including Nightingale, Erika, and Catherine, had staffed observation posts. 1188

Diana subsequently brought Lan Qingyou urgent intelligence from Pandora that Kesuya’s avatar had appeared near the western coast of the Land of Abandonment. 1197

After Kesuya’s clone and Jormungandr were defeated, Diana hurried to Lan Qingyou’s Alchemy Workshop, having grown worried when communication ceased during the battle. She was shocked to find that Lan Qingyou had lost the lower portions of her legs. Lan Qingyou attributed the injuries to fighting Kesuya’s clone, and Diana concluded—incorrectly—that her Patriarch had accepted the sacrifice to spare the others from danger. 1217

Lan Qingyou then ordered Diana to retrieve Jormungandr’s corpse from the Abandoned City and store it in the Black Witches’ Sealing Warehouse. Diana received instructions to restrict handling to witches with at least 4,000 Mental Power and unrestricted research use to those with at least 6,000; if a Devilish Creature Crystal Core was found, the requirement would rise to 8,000. The remains were to be preserved as valuable but potentially hazardous research and crafting materials. 1218
