#AND THAT WAS REVEALED BEFORE THEY WENT INTO THE HOLIEST CITY OF THE DRUIDS

[gingermintpepper]

Special reminder that Diane got horribly shafted at the end of NnT in multiple ways including and not limited to: 

She never actually learns to dance on her own merit, but instead gets the knowledge transplanted into her soul or whatever (even though that’s also super bogus, thanks) by right of simply inhabiting Drole’s body during Memory of a Holy War and furthermore, her learning of Drole’s Dance - his specific dance being the dance which all other Giants modelled their persona dances after - was completely and utterly overshadowed by King gaining his wings. 

Even after gaining Drole’s Dance and supposedly reaching her apex power-wise to the point of Drole personally saying that he’s naming her his successor to be the new Queen of the Giants, Diane never gets a proper fight hereafter since the Mael fight was King’s moment (and also it was a sky battle so she couldn’t really do much), she wasn’t a factor in the Cuchandler battle or the Big Pappy Demon fight and she wasn’t particularly stand out or relevant during the True Final fight of the series since that was Escanor’s time to shine (literally)

After the story ends, she doesn’t even get to be Queen of the Giants because she marries King and they go to live in the Fairy Realm together while Ban and Elaine watch over the Fairy King’s Forest in the actual physical world and there’s no follow up on Megadozer or her people in general even though we’d heard from snippets and chunks that Giants were pretty much endangered as a species. 

And all of this isn’t even getting into how much it sucked that Diane was never able to get any proper personal motivation or goals outside of ‘she’s in love with the character, oh, wait, nevermind, she’s in love with this character’.
