Diane

Diane (ディアーヌ) is a fictional character featured in Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War. She is one of the many mercenaries the player encounters in the tavern and on the field of battle.

Role in Game
Often seen talking to Karen, Diane does not interact with the protagonist until an altercation with an English soldier convinces her to request for aid in a duel. Instead of facing two squads as promised, she is instead beset by a horde of Englishmen who yearn to humble her. With the help of the protagonist, Diane triumphs from the ordeal.

It is later revealed that she is actually the long-lost daughter of a noble, the Duke of Orléans. This is proven by the lily pendant she wore when discovered as a baby.

In Bladestorm: Nightmare, Diane is one of the mercenaries hired to attack the people accused of consorting with monsters. If the player defeats her and Philippe le Bon, she will apologize for the misunderstanding and make up for it by joining the group. She also informs them of the kings of England and France placing a bounty on their heads, motivating everyone to seek an audience with the pair at Île-de-France.

Personality
Diane is known for her brashness and foul mouth. Having been raised among mercenaries her whole life, she revels at the sight of war and wants nothing more than to live and die on the battlefield. Even after learning of her heritage, she remains true to herself and continues to participate in battle. Diane is easily angered by those who look down upon her or the mercenary lifestyle.
