What if I back down now, cause I'm afraid of what might happen? |

Diana Selena Lunamoon, more commonly called Didi, is the daughter of the moon from the buried moon. She is a Rebel, she doesn't like her story, though she knows deep down inside good comes of it, she, well, she's afraid of the dark alright! She rooms with Gal T. Mare
Appearance[]
Didi has long golden hair that shines and she wears in two braids that circle her head and come together in one loose wavy ponytail. She has black eyes and golden brown skin. Her lips are silver. She bears three birthmarks by her right eye, each in the shape of stars, that also seem to glow, though not as brightly as her hair.
Didi wears a black hoodie with the hood pulled over her hair except when she's outside in the daytime and alone, a white top with a black belt with a silver buckle and white shorts. She wears black ankle boots.
Personality[]
Diana's most notable character trait is her shyness. She doesn't like to talk to people, doesn't like to have people look at her, and will never raise her hand in class. When a teacher did call on her, she muttered something to the extent of "I have the bravery of a chicken nugget please don't", and that was that.
Diana is also very quiet. If she does talk to you, chances her voice will not go a decibel above that of being a whisper. She never yells, and always looks surprised when people tell her they can't hear her. It's like she thinks everyone's hearing is as good as her own.
She fears pretty much everything, not only being the center of attention, but the list of fears include, the dark (it's her main one) dogs, cars, drowning, storms, and being buried alive. Ironically though, she has no fear of monsters or dragons or things along that line, she just nods to acknowledge them and keeps walking by.
Didi carries herself with a sort of...regal air. She acts poised, calm, and dignified, when not being confronted by anything she's afraid of. She moves slowly and with grace, even when moving away from something she fears.
She is very caring, really she is. She will offer you a thumbs up or a bright smile if you seem like you need it and will even leave you a note taped to your locker, telling you how great you are and how you need to live your life the way you want to otherwise it wouldn't be your life anymore would it, if it seems like you need that kind of message.
Diana is a bit of an enabler with people, regardless of whether or not she's friends with them, if she sees them about to do something that she knows will not end well in any life, she just walks away and ignores them. When they come into the school later with injuries, she'll just look on in shock.
Didi is prone to panic attacks. The weirdest things set her off and she has counters for that. One is her wearing the hoodie so she can quickly hide her face. Another is her not wearing long pants, so she doesn't feel restrained. However, they happen despite her best efforts and sometimes you can touch her to calm her, other times it worsens it.
She also suffers, as if panic attacks weren't enough, from short term memory loss. You have to tell her things a thousand times for her to remember them very long. She commits things like names of people to memory by repeating them over and over to herself and writing them down.
Diana is a selective mute. There are some occurrences, though these are rare, where she can't speak a single word and can't even make a sound. Normally she just gets even quieter than usual, but if she's really uncomfortable or had a bad day, she goes nonverbal. And that is very hard to explain to others.
Didi is clingy. If she can get someone in her life she isn't afraid of, who is willing to help her through the panic attacks, who doesn't get annoyed at either the short term memory loss or the nonverbal moments, who never tries to push her out of her comfort zone, and is just generally nice to her all the time in her life? Well, she doesn't want to let them go. And she can be kind of annoying about it.
A result of that is jealousy, for lack of a better word for it. If someone she clings to has even a remotely similar relationship with someone else, she'll instantly think there's something wrong with her and her life should just end because she lost someone perfect for her. Then they'll come back and she'll kind of snap at them, but usually they understand.

Interests[]
Singing
Never in public, never very loud, but she does love to sing. Actually she has a couple songs that if she hears she'll join in slowly, perhaps haltingly and it will pull her out of the panic attack. She loves music, it's her solace, but she doesn't want to write her own songs. She thinks it takes the fun out of it. If you ever hear a singing voice and don't see the source, chances are it was her.
Space
As the daughter of the moon, Diana's home is up in space. She spent the first eight years of her life there, but was sent to earth by her mother to learn about life there, to live with Carter and his father. so her memories of space are fuzzy, but she does like to read books about it, and make fun of what she sees in them that she knows aren't the truth.
Abilities[]
Nocturnal: Not technically nocturnal, as that implies she needs to sleep through the day, but Didi is just as functional at night as she is during the day. She can see in the dark perfectly, and oftentimes is out at night, at least at home, listening to the sounds of nocturnal creatures. Sometimes she tries to contact her mother, but most of the time she sits there in silence. Back home she pulls her hood down because although her glowing hair gives her attention and that's why she hides it, there's something almost freeing about having it down and letting it do it's thing. At the school she can't wander outside at night which is yet another reason she prefers home to school.
Language: Diana is a quick study when it comes to other languages. Probably because she grew up only speaking the tongue of Celestial Beings and suddenly without warning was dropped in a place where no one could speak it or understand it, she had to learn how to speak Earth languages pretty quickly if she wanted to survive. This applies to pretty much any language that is possible for her to learn.

Trivia[]
- Birthdays are technically a human thing so Didi's birthday is the anniversary of when she came to earth because that's the best thing Carson could think of.
- Diana can be awake 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Sleep is a time to rest her mind, not her body, and is a custom she picked up from spending so much time around Carson and Carter.
- Diana actually knew no word of any human language when she was dropped on earth, instead she spoke the tongue of Celestial Beings, a language that is well near impossible for humans to learn. She still speaks it sometimes, when she's trying to call to her mother. Plus, she'll speak it if startled but not scared enough to not talk.
- Her favorite flavor is caramel.
- Her hair glow is diminished during the new moon, but still exists.

Dorm[]
Diana's side of the dorm has painted constellations on the wall and glow in the dark stars stuck on the ceiling. She has a black comforter and black pillows, one with mermaid scales that go to silver depending on which way you brush them. Sometimes if she is having a rough day, you can find her, playing with the mermaid scales.. There are twinkling fairy lights along the top of the walls and on the bottom, as well as a golden lava lamp resting on her desk.
