    Appearance:
    • Diana stands at five feet and one inch tall with a slight build but she does not lack curves entirely. She has curly blonde hair and blue eyes. She prefers her Healer robes to modern fashion, but when at certain events she likes to dress in shades of blue. She is right handed.

    History:
    • February 1st, 1860 | Diana is born the only daughter and last child to Odysseus and Athena Burke.

      1862 | Roman goes off to Hogwarts.

      1866 | A six year old Diana throws a temper tantrum when Rabastan gets his Hogwarts letter. She turns her governess blue for three hours.

      1871 | Diana receives her Hogwarts letter and is sorted into Ravenclaw to the disappointment of her primarily Slytherin family.

      1873 | Diana picks Care of Magical Creatures and Ancient Runes as electives, again to the disappointment of her family to have a girl doing something so outlandish as COMC.

      1876 | Diana's OWL results come in. She passes all of her classes with Os and Es and proceeds to take them at the NEWT level, deciding if her first season is unsuccessful she will work as a healer.

      1877 | Her family moves to Hogsmeade.

      1878-1883 | She graduates with high NEWT scores in all subjects. Her first several seasons as a debutante are unsuccessful.

      February 1st, 1883-1884 | Diana interns in the Creature-Induced Injuries Department at Hogsmeade Hospital.

      February 1st, 1884-Present | Unoccupied with finding a husband, known to be reaching spinsterdom, Diana focuses her life's work on treating patients and was promoted to full healer on her birthday.

    Personality: Intelligent. Kind. Selfless. Slight purist views. Adaptable. Friendly. Openhearted.
