Personality


Diana is a headstrong woman who knows what she wants and how to get it. Her tenacity knows no bounds and she's one hell of a tough cookie. Diana has a strong sense of justice and she'll do anything to get it even if it's unethical or immoral. Crossing her is not a wise thing to do and she won't stop until she's satisfied with her revenge which shows her vindictive side. Diana has a hardcore, sensible attitude when it comes to her duties and is a confident natural-born leader who cares for all of her friends and subordinates and will fight to the finish for them to the point of risking her life. She's fearless and rebellious, often getting into trouble because of her short temper and she definitely has the distinction of being a loose cannon among her peers.

Diana has serious issues with trust due to suffering from abuse and manipulation from her peers and authority figures and is generally distrusting of humanity as a whole. She doesn't open up easily to people and can be rather intimidating due to her rough appearance and crude, harsh way of speaking. Despite her wild, unruly ways, Diana has a deeper nature that is filled with selflessness, loyalty, and compassion. As someone who has had to suffer greatly at such a young age, Diana cannot ignore the true suffering of others and becomes sympathetic upon sensing pain and resolve in people's hearts. Though she will intervene on behalf of the oppressed if she concludes that a situation has called for it, Diana tends to help only those with the will - but not the means - to help themselves, in which case her recklessness and disdain for authority often has her bending the rules (or outright breaking them) to dole out a Robin Hood-esque justice, which has earned her notoriety and popularity among people who are disadvantaged.
 
Diana has a secret past side of her that most people don't know about underneath her professionalism and brutal attitude. Previously she embodied rebellion, drug abuse, and amoralism as well as sexual promiscuity and partying. Diana also had a nonchalant, sarcastic, and mellow attitude, was generally weak in combat, and had many friends and connections within the drug business as well as the local gangs. She's heavily regretful of past events, her old reputation, and although she'll never admit it, embarrassed of what people might think of her being a cop whilst having living evidence of her delinquent, immoral, drug-clouded past as an apathetic, hedonistic hippie.  

 
Fears: Snakes, rats, elevators
Favorite Color: Red
Hobbies: Dancing, cars, reading, video games, anime
Tastes In Music: Diana loves music and has a rather eclectic taste. Her favorite genres are R&B, rock and roll, and alternative music.

Past: Diana was born in Detroit, Michigan to a hard-working, middle-class family, her mother being a cop and her dad being a truck driver. But things came a tragic end when Diana was only 8. Her parents were murdered during a carjacking and Diana along with her older sister Yvette were taken in by their aunt Shavon who lived in Los Angeles. But everything wasn't smooth sailing. Shavon was twice divorced with three sons, suffered from PTSD alongside borderline personality disorder, and was very volatile towards all the kids which made their transition from Detroit to Los Angeles even more difficult. Over the years, Diana's cousins went down a dark path which lead to Travis going to prison, Richard being kicked out of the house due to his drug use, and Teshawn murdered by a local gang.

When Yvette turned 18, Shavon kicked her and 14 year old Diana out after a big argument, causing the two to move in with Yvette's boyfriend Floyd. At first, things were finally going well for once in Diana's life but six months later, Floyd began to make sexual advances towards her which soon escalated to rape. The incidents continued to happen until Yvette walked in on them. Taking Floyd's side over Diana's, Yvette kicked her out. To make matters worse, Shavon sided with Yvette as well, meaning Diana had no place to stay and was homeless.

To cope with her pain and trauma, Diana turned to sex, drugs, and partying and couch-surfed from house to house for a year before moving in with her best friend Denise Sinclair who lived with her older brother Christopher who was 19 at the time. Despite being only 16 at the time, Diana was instantly enamored with Christopher and it wasn't long before they started dating. Diana, Christopher, and Denise were an unstoppable trio in the partying scene and they had a wild, hedonistic lifestyle until Diana's 18th birthday. While they were at a party, there was a drive-by shooting and Christopher was shot protecting her.

Diana was traumatized and felt immensely guilty from the incident. She stopped partying, doing drugs, and shocked everyone by joining the Marines when she graduated from high school. Her MOS was 5811: Military Police. Transitioning to military life was difficult and boot camp was even more difficult but thanks to Christopher and Denise constantly encouraging her and keeping her motivated, Diana graduated with high marks and Christopher surprised her by proposing to her which she eagerly said yes to.

The young couple married after Diana completed her advanced training and she decided to go to college to major in Criminal Justice as well after being persuaded by her higher-ups to do so. Balancing college, military life, and her marriage made life hectic and wild for Diana and throughout the years, she gave birth to two daughters that she named Maxine and Vanessa. After finally graduating from college with a Bachelor's in Criminal Justice, Diana's contract was set to expire but she was planning to renew it and become an officer. But life had other plans.

One day, Diana awoke to find Christopher dead next to her. He suffered from epilepsy and had died in his sleep from a seizure. Because of how unexpected his death was, Diana's life turned upside-down overnight as she now had to raise their daughters on her own while dealing with her grief.

Diana decided not to renew her contract and left the Marines to give her daughters a more stable life. She went back to Los Angeles and settled down with her daughters thanks to the help of Denise. Wanting to continue her career in law enforcement, Diana decided to apply for the LAPD and joining was a breeze for her. Thanks to her military experience and tenacity, she quickly gained a reputation among her fellow officers and rose through the ranks, eventually becoming a Lieutenant.

Now Diana is enjoying her new career in the LAPD while balancing single motherhood and making new friends among the way.

~~Personality~~

At first glance, Zuri seems like an introverted, classy ice queen. She is quiet, troubled, brooding, grim, moody, seemingly emotionless, intelligent, studious, and sarcastic. Zuri can always come up with a snarky and sarcastic remark and her wittiness knows no bounds. She is quite mature, often giving advice to others about various subjects and generally staying cool and calm no matter how desperate the situation is. Around strangers, Zuri is often emotionally restrained, appearing secretive and distant as well as spending most of her time by herself. It is difficult for her to build trust in anyone and even more difficult to truly forgive if that trust were to be broken. Zuri doesn't like to mince words and says whatever is on her mind no matter what, having no tolerance for stupidity. Her mouth can be quite outrageous to the point of being humorous. She doesn't change for others and doesn't compromise when it comes to her morals and values. With Zuri, it's her way or the highway.

Once someone is able to get close to Zuri, they are often shocked to see a different side of her. One that's creative, passionate, and affectionate. She will also express more emotion around the people she's close to and is very loyal and caring towards them, even willing to fight for them if need be. Zuri doesn't get intimidated and can be quite vindictive when angered even to the point of violence. Because of her history with being bullied, Zuri still struggles with low self-esteem which she hides by putting up a tough, emotionless front that can be prone to anger, mood swings, and overall outbursts. Extreme emotional highs and lows are part of her nature, but she can hide emotions tidily and look absolutely collected from the outside. She often hides her emotions under the shell of pretended indifference or egoism, but actually she is a very sensitive person, who can be hurt easily by negative treatment. She feels everything deeply, but her emotions often are twisted up in contradictions.

Zuri has a very good intuition to the point of often reading other people's minds. She is smart and charming, ever-alluring and highly seductive. Zuri is willful and resistant to rules that are forced upon her and she also hates when anyone tries to dominate her. Zuri is possessive and wants all or nothing from the people that she's close to. She is the type of person who never forgets when someone is nice to her and also never ever forgets when someone is mean to her. It takes her a long time to let go of grudges and she always remembers who was at fault in any given situation.

~~Life Story~~

Zuri was born to Crystal Wallace and Beau Willie Brown in Harlem, New York. Her parents were fresh out of high school and Beau enlisted into the U.S. Army while Crystal took up a job as an assistant to a large CEO. Crystal adjusted perfectly to her job while Beau was having a difficult time adapting to military life and his mental state began to deteriorate slowly but surely.

When Zuri was 5, her younger siblings Kenya and Kwame were born which resulted in Beau leaving the military when his contract was up. He tried to find a job but it was proving difficult due to his PTSD and alcoholism. To make matters worse, Beau had started to become abusive towards Crystal and it wasn't uncommon for Zuri to go to school with bruises on her body. Although CPS was often called on the Wallace family, nothing came of it due to Beau's aggression and temper scaring them away.

Zuri lived in constant fear and anxiety for many years until the unthinkable happened. When she was 12, Beau had dropped Kenya and Kwame out of the window of their apartment building. Since they were on the 5th floor, they died instantly. Zuri and Crystal had tried to save them but they were badly beaten in the process. Beau was arrested and charged with two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault with his sentence being life in prison without parole.

Sadly this did nothing to quell the grief and pain in Crystal's heart and six months later, she committed suicide by overdosing on pills. Zuri had come home from school and found her body. Her crying and screaming had alerted the neighbors who called the paramedics and Zuri was taken into foster care.

The police had contacted her aunt Vianne who had married a Korean man and moved to South Korea shortly after Zuri was born but lost contact with Crystal due to Beau's abusive ways. Vianne and her husband Minsoo instantly came to America and took Zuri into their custody, whisking her away to South Korea.

For the first time in her life, Zuri was able to experience the true love and affection of family although it was difficult for her to open up to everyone because of all the trauma that she had went through. Adjusting to life in South Korea was difficult for Zuri especially due to her being a foreigner but she finally found her place with three boys: Suho Lee, Seojun Han, and Seyeon Yoon. Zuri was attending the same middle school as them and Seyeon had seen her dance which lead to them becoming fast friends since they shared the same passion for music and dance. This lead to Zuri hanging out with The Three S's and she slowly started to fit into Korean society thanks to them but still maintained some rebellion.

Zuri's relationship with Seyeon was the closest without a doubt and it wasn't long before they started dating. Although Seyeon's schedule was often packed due to him being an idol trainee, they always made time for each other and had a very loving, intimate relationship. But sadly it wasn't meant to be as Seyeon eventually committed suicide.

His death destroyed Zuri and she gave up her dream of becoming a famous singer and dancer, instead focusing on her love for cars and aiming to become a mechanic which she is now trying to accomplish.

Love Song: Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson - Beauty and The Beast

Relationships

Ichigo Kurosaki: Zuri first met Ichigo when she attempted to commit suicide and he talked her down.

Ichigo is the only person besides her family who knows of her past and how it's shaped her to become the person she is now which is indicative of how close their relationship is. Ichigo has seen Zuri at her absolute worst and he's the only person that she feels she can truly open up to and trust completely. Whenever Zuri needs to vent or rant, she always goes to Ichigo.

Zuri highly values Ichigo and shows it by being affectionate and protective of him. If anyone tries to pick a fight with him or hurt him, Zuri will immediately rush to his defense and show her wrath to the offender. Although she has difficulty admitting it, Zuri is in love with Ichigo but is afraid to confess out of fear of being rejected and because of her own low self-esteem which has convinced her into thinking that she's not worthy of being loved.


Uryu Ishida: Zuri met Uryu when she began to attend Karakura High School.

The primary thing that Zuri likes about Uryu is his solitary nature as well as his intelligence. Zuri also likes how chivalrous he is although it made her uncomfortable at first because of how distrustful she is. Zuri thinks Uryu's talent with sewing is really cool and if she ever has an issue with any of her outfits, she immediately goes to him for help.

Zuri loves to tease and flirt with Uryu in a sexual manner, finding his reactions hilarious. She also has a tendency to twist his words in a sexual way which only serves to exasperate Uryu even more. But it's all in good fun and it's easy to tell when Zuri is being genuine and when she's joking around. Zuri likes Uryu a lot and expresses it in more subtle ways than being blunt about it which is unexpected for someone of her character.


Yasutora "Chad" Sado: Zuri met Chad when he protected her from a group of thugs that were bullying her at school.

Zuri finds Chad's presence calming and it's not uncommon to see her just hanging around with him. She is very protective of Chad and always stands up for him since he doesn't fight back. Zuri isn't intimidated by Chad's size which is uncommon for most women and the trait she loves about him the most is his loyalty because that means she can always rely on him and trust him.

Zuri is fluent in Spanish and she will usually talk to Chad in that language much to the annoyance of others. She enjoys learning about Mexican culture and can talk to him for hours just learning more and more. Zuri deeply cares for Chad and will do anything for him, wanting to return his loyalty but isn't willing to confess her true feelings just yet because she doesn't wanna ruin their friendship.


Tatsuki Arisawa: Zuri met Tatsuki while working out at the dojo and they fought each other in a match that ended in a draw.

Zuri has a high amount of respect for Tatsuki and loves to see her fight. The two girls sparring against each other and working out together is a frequent occurrence and their love of martial arts has only made them closer. Although Zuri and Tatsuki have opposite natures and carry themselves differently, they compliment each other very well and have a kinship that's rare to see amongst people.

Zuri has fallen in love with Tatsuki over the years that they've known each other but her low self-esteem prevents her from confessing and she just suffers in silence instead.


Orihime Inoue: Zuri met Orihime thanks to Tatsuki introducing them to each other.

At first, Zuri was a bit put off by Orihime and was a bit cold towards her. But after Orihime protected her from a Hollow and healed her injuries, Zuri began to open up to her a bit more and slowly started to realize that her personality was genuine and not an act she was putting on. Sometimes Zuri can find Orihime a bit annoying and isn't afraid to bring her down to Earth but she always tries to do it in a way that won't hurt the poor girl's feelings.

Since Zuri is good at cooking, she always shares her recipes with Orihime and brings food over to her house as well as helping her get better at making food so she won't be eating horrible concoctions all the time which Zuri actually finds hilarious more than anything. She's unsure of how she feels towards Orihime but she does know that she wants to keep her close and really enjoys her company despite not wanting to admit it.


Toshiro Hitsugaya: Zuri met Toshiro while he was in the Human World and visiting Ichigo.

Zuri and Toshiro got to a rather icy start but as Toshiro hung around Ichigo more and more, Zuri's interest in him began to increase and she started to warm up to him after he saved her from a Hollow. Because of their similar, icy natures, Zuri and Toshiro have built up a rapport with one another and enjoy spending time together. Toshiro is also one of two people (the other being Ichigo) who has actually seen her dance which just shows how close they've become but they still have a ways to go.

Zuri highly respects Toshiro's intelligence and likes to hear about the Soul Society and what life is like there. In return, she teaches him about The World Of The Living and the many things about it, both good and bad. Their conversations can last for hours and hours and it never gets tiring for Zuri because of how much she loves Toshiro's company. She's unsure of how to feel about him and she's scared to push things further because of them being from different worlds.


~~The Character's Abilities~~

~~The Character's Familial/Biographical Information~~

Birthplace: Karakura Town, Tokyo, Japan

Family
Mother: Faith Tachibana (nee Abraham) | Police Officer | Alive
Father: Hideki Tachibana | Judge | Alive
Younger Sister: Erin Tachibana | Alive
Younger Sister: Eris Tachibana | Alive
Younger Brother: Nobuo Tachibana | Alive

Familial Background: Zuri was born to an African-American woman and Japanese father. Her parents defied all odds (and their families) to be together and they wound up eloping in secret. They settled down in Karakura Town and gave birth to four children, juggling their careers and raising them at the same time which was hectic and often stressful but Faith and Hideki's love for each other kept their marriage going and their teamwork was flawless when it came to raising Zuri and her siblings.


Character Background: Although Zuri had a great home life and the upbringing most children would die for, she didn't fare very well outside of it. At school, she was bullied severely which caused her to develop low self-esteem and depression. Zuri gained a reputation for being an ice queen and she became mean and snarky to combat the bullying which eventually escalated to full-blown fighting.

When Zuri was 13, a classmate named Hiroto Rukawa that she had a crush on had approached her and asked her out which eventually lead to them dating. But little did she know, it was all part of a bet between Hiroto and his friends just to get her to sleep with him. On Zuri's 14th birthday, Hiroto tried to make sexual advances towards her and when she rejected him, he lashed out at her and revealed his true feelings which destroyed Zuri. In return, she grabbed a glass bottle and smashed it on Hiroto's face before running away.
 
Zuri isolated herself even more and at age 15, she had attempted suicide only to be saved by Ichigo Kurosaki himself. After having a heart-to-heart conversation with him and finally breaking down for the first time, Zuri finally felt a lust for life that she had been missing for so many years and decided to seek mental health treatment as well so she wouldn't feel that low ever again.

Now Zuri is living her best life and striving to be the best she can be despite her demons still lingering and coming back to haunt her which is starting to stunt her growth.
