🌙 Name: Diana Grace Ravenscroft 🔮 Age: 33 👤 Gender: Female 🌌 Fandom: Final Fantasy VII Universe 🌟 Ship: None (focuses on professional ambition rather than personal relationships) 📅 Date of Birth: [μ] – εγλ 1974 👼 Mother: Eleanor Ravenscroft (deceased) 👹 Father: Reginald Ravenscroft (deceased) 🎭 Faceclaim: Kate Walsh

Character Overview

🌟 Diana's Persona: Diana Ravenscroft is a cold and calculating scientist whose ambition and obsession with scientific discovery drive her every decision. With a razor-sharp intellect and a clinical detachment, Diana's actions are often morally questionable, prioritizing the advancement of bioengineering and genetic manipulation over ethical concerns. Her relentless pursuit of knowledge leads her to cross increasingly dark and dangerous lines, especially in her experiments on demonic and divine genetics. Diana is methodical, disciplined, and operates with a profound belief in the necessity of her work, despite the suffering it causes.

🎭 Personality: Diana embodies the "Lawfully Evil" alignment, thriving on control and efficiency. A Virgo, INTJ personality, and 5w6 (The Investigator), she views the world through a lens of scientific rigor and unwavering dedication to her goals. Diana’s obsession with the divine and supernatural blinds her to the humanity of others, making her capable of cruelty and ethical blindness. Her ambition clouds her judgment, pushing her to justify the unethical methods she employs. She is emotionally detached, unable to connect with others, and views her subjects—people included—as tools for experimentation. Despite this cold exterior, her obsessive curiosity drives her deeper into moral decay.

💑 Relationships: Diana’s most significant relationship is with her work at Shinra Corporation, particularly her obsession with the divine and demonic blood within subjects like Bianca Moore. Her inability to form personal connections means that the only bonds she values are those that contribute to her scientific pursuits. Though she does not form romantic relationships, her emotional investment in her experiments parallels a warped attachment to the subjects, particularly those with extraordinary abilities.

⚔️ Courage in Conflict: Diana’s bravery lies not in physical battles but in her unwavering commitment to her scientific goals. Her courage is tested when she is forced to confront the consequences of her experiments, including the pain and suffering of those she uses for her research. Her resilience is evident in her ability to continue pushing boundaries even when faced with ethical dilemmas and moral opposition. Diana’s role in the conflict of the story is one of intellectual opposition to those who would challenge her, particularly those who stand in the way of her pursuit of the divine.

✨ Likes & Dislikes

Likes: Scientific discovery, bioengineering, genetic manipulation, control, pushing ethical boundaries

Dislikes: Incompetence, emotional displays, inefficiency, failure, ethical constraints

🌿 A Soul of Many Hobbies: Diana’s hobbies revolve around her intellectual pursuits. She enjoys reading academic texts on bioengineering and metaphysical studies, conducting experiments, and researching supernatural entities. She has a fascination with ancient technologies and seeks to unlock the hidden knowledge of Gaia’s forgotten histories.

Powerset Overview

💫 Powers and Abilities: Diana’s strength lies in her expertise in genetics and bioengineering. She possesses an exceptional knowledge of cellular degradation and genetic manipulation, particularly in the areas of demonic and divine entities. Her skills allow her to perform detailed biological extractions, manipulate genetic structures, and enhance or weaken the abilities of her subjects. She is also highly skilled in laboratory procedures, surgical techniques, and specimen analysis.

💔 Weaknesses: Diana’s ambition often clouds her judgment, making her prone to risky and unethical decisions that compromise her humanity. She struggles with empathy and is emotionally detached, which makes it difficult for her to connect with others or recognize the moral consequences of her actions. Her obsession with uncovering the secrets of divinity and demonic powers can lead her down reckless paths, ignoring caution in favor of discovery.

Key Moments in Diana Ravenscroft's Journey

🌠 Diana’s involvement in Shinra’s controversial Project N of the Jenova Project marks a turning point in her life. Her experiments on Bianca Moore, particularly the extraction of demonic blood, deepen her obsession with understanding divine and infernal genetics and fulls a lust to understand the secret of immortality (in hopes of curing fatal illnesses). Her work blurs the lines between ethical science and horrific cruelty, leading her to question the boundaries of scientific discovery.

Relationship Compatibility between Professor Hojo and Ravenscroft

Protege and Scientific Peer to Hojo

Category: Professional/Scientific | Type: Platonic

Character Background:

Diana Ravenscroft is a skilled and ambitious genetic researcher within Shinra, obsessed with unlocking the secrets of divine and demonic genetics to advance bioengineering. Raised in Junon, she was immersed in Shinra's scientific culture from a young age, following her tragic loss of a younger sibling, which drove her to pursue genetic enhancement as a means to eradicate human frailty. Through her intellect, she rose to prominence, becoming Hojo's trusted assistant, overseeing gruesome trials and experiments on subjects, including demonic and celestial beings like Bianca Moore. Despite her outward composure, Diana's obsession with scientific progress has led her down a morally questionable path, where she values knowledge over ethics and sees people as nothing more than experiments.

Compatibility Overview: Diana and Hojo share a professional relationship rooted in mutual respect for each other's intellect. Both are ruthless in their pursuit of knowledge, with Diana drawn to Hojo’s brilliance and commitment to pushing scientific boundaries, even if it means disregarding ethical concerns. While Diana may admire Hojo’s unconventional approach to experimentation, she feels overshadowed by his more chaotic, unpredictable methods, which contrast sharply with her own disciplined, structured approach to research. Despite this, Diana has aligned herself with Hojo in the pursuit of greater scientific discovery, seeing him as a mentor, though her more meticulous nature sometimes clashes with his more erratic methods.

Diana’s admiration for Hojo is tempered by her frustration with the attention he receives from the women of Gaia. She sees his flirtations and popularity as distractions, which she believes take away from the important scientific work at hand. She is often irritated by his decisions to go on trips, like to Costa del Sol, and the time he wastes on personal matters. This imbalance creates tension between them, as Diana feels that Hojo’s chaotic personality disrupts the precision and control she desires in her work. While she respects his genius, she sometimes feels the need to assert herself and push for a more methodical approach to their experiments. Despite this, both share a mutual obsession with advancing science and a belief in their intellectual superiority, which keeps them tied together in a professional capacity, even as personal tensions simmer beneath the surface.
