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

Past: Diana was born in Memphis, Tennessee 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 5803: Military Police Officer. 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. It was also during training that she met one of her closest, lifelong friends: Zoe Andersen.

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 and Zoe. Wanting to continue her career in law enforcement, Diana decided to apply for the FBI and joining was a breeze for her. Thanks to her military experience and tenacity, she quickly gained a reputation among her fellow agents and known as a badass who didn't tolerate bullshit.

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

Personality


Zafina is a woman with a cold front but a soft heart. Her nickname Ice Queen rings true because she is a severe person with a regal and commanding presence where she is harsh with her peers and coldly merciless to her enemies, often employing a justice-based schadenfreude as well. Sharp-tongued and highly combative, Zafina is no stranger to furious chastisements, especially toward those who fail to live up to her high standards and expectations. As such, she has no tolerance at all for weakness, lack of willpower, and toxic behavior, fostering great distaste for her rich contemporaries whom she views as spoiled brats who are privileged and have never suffered a day in their lives. Zafina has a strong work ethic to the point of being a workaholic and wants to get ahead in life based on her own talents instead of connections or money.
 
One would think that Zafina is judgmental and stuck-up from the way she carries herself but that's far from the truth. She's actually quite expansive and down-to-earth but you have to break through her ice wall in order to see it. Zafina's biggest issue is trust which is the primary reason for why she acts the way she does. She has a lot of pain and trauma that runs incredibly deep and she has become quite bitter and resentful of life, convinced that there isn't really anyone who actually cares about her or who she can trust in hence why she is a loner.

Zafina actually struggles with low self-esteem and self-worth and hides herself away from the world because she doesn't think she amounts to anything and is insignificant. But little does Zafina know, she has much to offer the world and is quite talented and wise. This is where her soft heart comes in. For the people who are lucky enough to get past her cold exterior, they see Zafina's hidden talents and interests as well as how kind and understanding she truly is. Zafina will often uplift her loved ones and give them advice on how to better themselves and their lives, her criticism being brusque and she uses a tough love approach which only amplifies it. But Zafina only acts this way because she wants her loved ones to be the best versions of themselves and she wants to place them on the most direct path forward.

Unbeknownst to most people, Zafina actually does have an expressive and even wild side that she's kept hidden away for years because of her jaded view on people. When around people that she trusts completely, Zafina starts to show more emotion and will even become physically and verbally affectionate towards them. Her true colors start to show and she shines like the rainbow she is when she's in good company. Zafina has much to offer the world but she has to come out of her ice cold shell in order to rise to her true potential.

Past: Being the youngest of 8 children, Zafina was born into a household filled with love, privilege, and chaos. There were many fun times and adventures in the Cartwright residence and Zafina had a happy early childhood. But when it came to school, things weren't so great. Zafina was severely bullied by her peers and was quite lonely and isolated. But things started to look up when she started dating Emmett Washington at the age of 15 and he defended her from bullies as well as helping her to build up her self-esteem and self-worth.
 
Upon enlisting in the Army at age 17, Zafina became a Combat Medic and enlisted in college with the goal of becoming a doctor, graduating with a Bachelor's in Pre-Med. This lead to her being promoted to 2nd Lieutenant and going to the Uniformed Services University to become a Field Surgeon. While in medical school, Zafina and Emmett eloped and she had their first child after she graduated.

Emmett wanted Zafina to be a stay-at-home mom but she refused and continued to follow her dreams much to his chagrin. Over the years, Emmett was a stay-at-home dad and studying in college while Zafina advanced in her military career and gained a good but fearsome reputation for herself. But little did Zafina know, things weren't as they seemed.

Emmett was cheating on Zafina the entire time and she discovered that he was planning to leave her for his longtime mistress (whom he had gotten pregnant) after Zafina had their fourth and final child thanks to the mistress' husband (who happened to be in the military as well) informing her about everything. Zafina beat Emmett to the punch and swiftly filed for divorce after 13 years of marriage, throwing him out of the house and cutting him off financially which was easy since they had separate finances.

Their divorce was acrimonious but thanks to the iron-clad prenup they had as well as the evidence of Emmett's infidelity, Zafina got out of the divorce relatively unscathed and Emmett moved away to be with his mistress and start a new family with her since he didn't get what he wanted in the divorce. Emmett refused to co-parent with Zafina nor pay child support out of spite and because he only wanted sons, not daughters.

Despite being heartbroken and now a single mom of 4 kids, Zafina pressed on and continued her military career, eventually retiring and moving to New Jersey with her kids, getting hired at PPTH thanks to her skills and experience. Now she's thriving as a trauma surgeon and raising her daughters on her own while keeping her heart closed to love and relationships.
