Physical Characteristics
Apparent Age: 16
Actual Age: 16
Gender: Female
Height: 5'0"
Weight: 108 lbs
Appearance: Diana is a fairly short young woman with soft brown hair that is long enough to reach her backside or the start of her scaled tail while in her half transformed form, her eyes are a bright gold in colour and often seem to twinkle in the light and her softly tanned skin is dusted in freckles, while in her human form Diana often wears her uniform while on duty, a short skirt and her uniform tunic, over the top of that tunic she wears a leather jacket and on more formal occasions she dons her Marine coat over the top of her leather jacket.
When out among the general population and off duty however she often wears a similar get up, short skirt, tunic and a leather jacket over the top, with the jacket over the top of her tunic she can help protect her torso from damage in case of a fight but she doesn't armour her legs, in the event of a dangerous battle she can morph her legs into a long, scaled tail and as such requires no armour, she prefers greens, browns and blacks in her clothing, more natural colours and colours that will match her tail while transformed!
When completely transformed the young marine has a long serpentine body, as a Naga user she can alter her colouration between three colours, green, black or brown, each of these colours has a different length associated with it, the Green is roughly thirty feet from nose to tail and is one of the weakest forms that Diana can take, while assuming the Green full conversion her hair too assumes the same colour as her tail, the second colour is a soft brown colour with orange stripes running horizontally along the top of her tail from her waist to the tip of her tail, the third form is by far the largest at sixty feet in length and is jet black from waist to tail, and dark grey stripes run horizontally from her waist to the tip of her tail!
Behavioral Characteristics
Personality: Diana is a kind young woman despite her choice of career and she always treats even her opponents kindly wherever possible, if her foes are willing to submit she will ensure they are well fed and well treated in their journey to a marine prison, she helps those she sees in trouble and will help where large numbers are picking on a single person even if she is alone. This kindness has gotten her into a lot of trouble in the past but it has also made her some fast friends.
Diana is very bright much of the time, treating others to a smile and a happy attitude that has helped many of her comrades perk up during difficult missions, while working however Diana can be very professional as a sometimes assassin she knows the value of a critical outlook but she refuses to let it swallow or erode her brightness, studying her targets before carrying out her mission to ensure she is doing the right thing in her sense of justice, and not just because she is being ordered to do it!
Likes: Sunbathing, Hand to hand combat and martial arts practice, LIVE FOOD!
Dislikes: Diana hates cold temperature, her enemies escaping and marines who pursue justice without ever seeking an understanding of the word!
Strengths: Cunning, Patience, and Kindness, even towards pirates and prisoners as long as they don't make her regret it!
Weaknesses: Diana is extremely vulnerable to cold temperatures and attacks, she has the habit of irritating other marines, even some of her own superiors with her unusual approach and sometimes even her own allies are afraid of her!
Fears: Diana is afraid she will be kicked out of the marines and that she will be forgotten, that she will fade away! As a devil fruit user Diana is also very afraid of drowning!

Hometown: Otome no shima (Maidens Island)
History: Diana was born upon the shores of maidens island when her mothers ship was destroyed by sea kings off the shore, her mother was rescued and trained by the women who lived upon the island and when her daughter was born the proud mother began to train the newborn in the ways of the world outside as well as the ways of the warrior women they had been taken in by.
Diana was always an object of curiosity among the other children of the maidens island since her mother was not originally from their lands but with her bright nature and kindness she often fit in with their games, she learned how to hunt at a very young age and with the other children of the maidens island she learned how to bring in food and defend the village from wild animals that tried to sneak in from time to time! Her life on this island was happy, but it was doomed to be short.
A ship managed to cross the lair of sea kings, a ship carrying pirates who performed the duties of a slaver as a lucrative sideline, an island full of nothing but women was their golden egg! If they could manage to get into the island and capture some of the female warriors they would fetch a high price in the slave markets! Their raid cost many of them their lives but finally they managed to escape with only five of the female warriors and a handful of children. Among their number was Diana...
She was so young but already she would fetch a good price as an already skilled huntress and an exotic item from far away lands, but thankfully she never reached the markets where they were to be sold! As the pirates again entered the Grand line they were attacked by a small fleet under the command of the marines and the slaves, although they could not be returned to their home were set free to explore their futures in the grand line!
Diana found herself adopted as the daughter of one of the marines and within two years she too signed up for the marines as a Zatsuyo she was only ten and perhaps the youngest they had ever accepted but her exceptional skill and superior training she was accepted into the marines and began to work her way up from the very bottom!
As a zatsuyo her job was to perform the menial tasks around the base and the marines ships, scrubbing and cleaning while she watched the other marines train, she observed and she learned and the Marines soon found she had another natural talent, one that allowed her to sneak through many places where she was not supposed to be! She was sneaky and a skilled huntress but she was not yet being trained for actual combat.
At the age of twelve the young girl was working aboard a marine ship when it was attacked by pirates, her crew fought with all the strength they could muster and she too was forced to help repel the boarders with broom, mop and buckets but as she struggled against their assailants she was thrown from the ship and into the merciless ocean.
The marines she had sailed with when they finally arrested the pirates searched the surrounding waters for her but her body was never recovered, in truth the young woman washed upon the shores of a deserted island that had not been charted, she woke to find a life of solitude but she retained her skills as a huntress, providing for herself and crafting a shelter while she waited for rescue to come. During her time on her island goods from the destroyed pirate vessel her friends had destroyed washed up on the shore where she had her home and she made it one of her tasks to recover the items that would be of use.
Among the crates that wound up on the shores of her island she found one tightly sealed and treated to be water tight, inside it was nothing but a single, strange looking fruit and out of curiosity the girl consumed a few bites of the fruit before the terrible taste made her abandon the rest, but the damage was done, already her body was changing inside.
She learned of the changes that had been made and how they helped her hunt on the shores of this island where she was alone, her new forms as the Naga and the Serpent allowing her to hunt prey and swallow it whole, resting afterwards and conserving her energy until it was needed, after a year alone on the island a marine ship passed close enough to the shore to be alerted to her presence by a signal fire on the beach!
The Marines, impressed with her resiliency and resourcefulness were happy to welcome her back to their ranks as an ensign and since then she has been working hard not to betray their trust, her training has been harsh but her skills improved, occasionally being utilised as an assassin, as a Zoan type devil fruit user the more she trained the stronger she became and it felt to her that there would be no limit to how strong she could become!
All she would need was time!
Relationships: Diana has no boyfriend or girlfriend at the moment!
Relatives: Diana's mother passed away while she was young, her father is unknown and her sisters are living on Maidens island in the Calm belt.
Possessions and Weaponry
Everyday Items: Marine uniform and some civilian clothing
Other Items: Leather jacket, often worn under her uniform coat.
Weapons: Leather whip and Nine inch dagger.
Devil Fruit:
Name: Mythical Zoan: Naga
Type: Mythical Zoan
Rank: B
Fruit Appearance: The Naga model fruit appears to be similar to a banana, however it is shaped more like a corkscrew than a slightly curved fruit, the peel is a crimson colour and is covered in ornate swirls that appear to be serpents writhing across its surface. The flesh of the Naga fruit is a stark white and while it has a very unpleasant taste it is very sweet.
Powers Given: The Naga model Mythical Zoan allows the user access to a partial and a complete transformation much like the Hebi Hebi Zoan fruits, however the Naga fruit grants additional abilities that the Hebi Hebi fruit does not, to begin with the Naga form grants attributes from many different forms of snakes. In addition the Naga fruit users stomach becomes able to suppress the Devil fruit abilities of anyone swallowed!
The naga fruit however has a number of weaknesses, unlike the phoenix fruit the Naga fruit user does not gain the same form of immortality, nor do they gain rapid regenerative abilities, cold can slow the Naga's metabolism and reflexes.
However the Naga may lay an egg as a safeguard against death, if they are killed they may be reborn as long as they have taken the precaution beforehand, however the reborn form may not look the same as its previous incarnation which can cause a great deal of confusion!

Description: This technique allows the user to assume the form of a half serpent, their upper body remains mostly humanoid except for the slitting of their irises and the occasional growth of scales along the users spine and the obfuscation of any... Objectionable anatomy, the half serpent form gives access to the enhanced senses available to the Naga fruit user.
In addition this form allows the user to unhinge their jaws to engulf prey and swallow them whole or to produce venom within their canine teeth which can be used to paralyse prey, the Partial form is extremely useful since as well as the enhanced senses and serpentine abilities the Partial form still possesses arms and hands for delicate manipulations.
The Partial form however is not as large as the full transformation and is subject to a number of weaknesses, the partial form is extremely vulnerable to cold temperatures and grows sluggish and tired with even the slightest exertion, the partial transformation can even lapse into a comatose state in extremely cold climates, unable to wake unless the user is warmed.

Name: Suppression
Form: Devil fruit
Rank: D
Type: Other
Stamina Cost: 15 Stamina
Description: Suppression is a unique ability that allows Diana to suppress the organic stomach acids of her body so she can prevent them from digesting any criminals she swallows! This allows her to keep them safe inside her body until they can be spat up in a marine prison! A rather gross experience for many of her captures but a useful way of keeping them from doing any harm! While suppression is active she cannot digest anything organic and only inorganic substances like metal will be digested, and digested quickly so the captives do not cut themselves free from the inside which would be very painful!

Name: Somnum Ictus
Form: Martial arts
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Stamina Cost: 15
Description: This attack is a quick jab to the forehead that is designed to disrupt the nerves travelling through the brain for just a moment, the shock of the disruption and the subsequent resumption of the electrical impulses often sends the victim lapsing into an unconscious state, sore but unharmed. A fairly simple technique but highly effective.

Name: Cadens Tenebris
Form: Martial Arts
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Stamina Cost: 35 Stamina
Description: Cadens Tenebris is a flurry of blows thrown by stiffened fingers that targets the victims shoulders and upper chest, in a vicious flurry designed to damage the victims shoulders and prevent them using any powerful attacks in return, it is ended with a strike with an outward facing palm to the targets stomach to knock them backwards and onto the ground. This attack has also been used on thrown, blunt objects.

Name: Portas iustitiae
Form: Martial arts
Rank: C
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Stamina Cost: 35 Stamina
Description: This technique is known as a Flying palm attack, using a series of complex manoeuvres the practitioner builds up kinetic energy inside their bodies, twisting themselves through complicated steps or motions that shift the energy inside the body, making it build to higher and higher levels, when it is finally released the user stands, legs spread in a stable stance or their serpentine tail coiled to absorb the recoil the users hands are spread and their palms face their enemy or enemies and all that energy is released in a single blast of kinetic energy away from the user.
This technique can also be used defensively to block or reflect incoming cannonballs or arrows, the down side of this technique is the amount of time needed for the martial artist to build enough energy inside their body to release, if it is forced to be released early then the energy emitted is weak, capable of knocking people and missile weapons away but not with the same amount of efficiency!
