Diana is a major supporting character in Legend of Mana and a recurring character in the Mana series.

Background

Diana is the Jumi of Diamond and the Leader of the Jumi people. The lived together with her kin in Etancel, the Bejeweled City. Rubens the Jumi of Ruby, was appointed as her Knight and second-in-command. Her ruling style was widely criticized among her peers as she desperately tried to keep her tribe alive using Florina, the chosen Clarius, to revive her fallen comrades during the Deathbringer's army attack. This depleted the Jumi of Fluorite's strength to great extent as Jumi who shed healing tears do so at the cost of their health. Her main detractor was Alexandra, the Jumi of Alexandrite and newly appointed Knight to Florina during Lady Blackpearl's disappearance. Outraged by the treatment the Jumi of Diamond and the tepid reaction of her comrades, Alexandrite decided to kidnap Florina, threatening the whole tribe toward severe depopulation since she was the only Jumi able to heal with her tears. Later on, following the tragic hunting of the Jumis during the search of the seventh Mana Stone, most of the jewel folk died by lessening their energy flow through their core to protect the secrets of their clan. Mages were also after the Jumi's cores due to alleged rumors about them harboring rare mystical proprieties. The remaining Jumi population left their homeland of Etancel and concealed their identities to the best of their abilities.

Believing Florina to be dead, Diana turned herself into a stone statue to protect her own core, and was eventually acquired by Krissie, a rich art collector from Geo. She remained there in the storage room and came into possession of one of Esmeralda's sister's core. She was hopeless at hiding and surviving from being hunted by the Jewel Hunter until she wrote a note to Sandra telling her to steal her core. Later, she locked her heart and threw away the three keys, crystallizing her. Her heart was unlocked by main character, Pearl, and Elazul, and was about to tell them about Jewel Hunter's intentions until Sandra stole her core. She later ends up in the Underworld being turned to stone even though her core flashes whenever Elazul or Pearl are nearby.

The Lucky Clover

While searching for her sister's cores, Esmeralda and the protagonist discover Lady Diana in the storage room. The Jumi of Diamond tells them she's no longer a Jumi and that their tribe is fated to die soon. She encourages Esmeralda to surrender, but the young Jumi replies she doesn't want to give up as the fallen can still be healed by Florina. Diana believes the Clarius to be dead, and urges Esmeralda to take her sister's core and leave thsi place before the Jewel Hunter finds her, too. She then adds she sent a message to Sandra, telling her to come steal her core. The Jumi of Diammond has made her decision and wishes for Esmeralda to choose her own path as well.
