Diana was placed into existence as a pure embodiment of one who is there to collect the souls of everything that has passed; the very first and most powerful of the Grim Reapers, Death itself. Her only job is to collect the spirits of those passed on, making her neutral in the balance of light and dark power. By every being, she means EVERY being, for everything has a time limit.

Evan though she is a neutral party in the balance, she does not control everything that occurs when concerning which side might possibly win. She only does her job and nothing more, and never, EVER, doesn't a collect a soul out of order, as there are dire consequences for such actions, the prime being that others who are not meant to die are slain in order to keep life ending properly; one life to save another.

As the years passed, Diana witnessed the rise and fall of numerous civilizations countless times, and with the rises and falls, as well as changing religions, her visage also changed to fit the stories and beliefs pertaining to Death, the only constant thing remaining was her weapon of choice, being the scythe. She can kill someone with a single touch, yes, but uses the scythe to sever the soul entirely from the body, carrying the soul off to its final destination once collected by bringing them to a door. She knows of what lies specifically for a final destination, but never tells of what is in store for the individual, as that is a grave taboo, a lesson she learned when souls tried to escape her once they knew, especially if bound for Hell or to nothingness.

The days seemed to pass in the blink of an eye for Diana, and her name would change along with it, though only her outward appearance name, her current of course being Diana. She never allows anyone to see her face if they actually know who she is. When collecting a soul, she pertains the classic cloak and scythe visage, and a skull appears to be painted over her face, keeping with the skeleton in a cloak myth. When she is taking breaks, she merely wanders about the human realm and minds her own business, being sure to keep people at arms length so they won't die from her touch. The only things that will not die from her fingers are other Grim Reapers, though she hides her face from even them.

Her method of creating more Grim Reapers to help with the job of soul collection are those who either have begged for a second chance, or those who still pertain the qualifications to be such, all of them having already died. Once they have been made into a reaper, their memories of their human lives are erased, and most usually never remember them, but will allow them to view their memories through their records should they so ask of it.

Included in the process of collecting souls and to know which are next, Diana holds a list of souls to obtain in exact order. It is written on a scroll that remains the same length permanently, shortening the length of the paper itself to keep it tidy. It is possible for names to appear and disappear on the list, but it is impossible to actually tamper with the list itself, i.e make a name from the list vanish even if they are meant to die
