Witchcraft symbols have been used throughout history to represent and communicate various aspects of witchcraft. These symbols often hold deep meaning and are significant to those who practice witchcraft. One such set of symbols in witchcraft is the runic symbols. Runic symbols are a form of ancient writing that was used by various Germanic peoples, including the Vikings. These symbols are often inscribed on objects like stones or wood and were used for divination, protection, and other magical purposes. One popular runic symbol in witchcraft is the Algiz rune, which is represented by a straight vertical line with two diagonal lines branching off.
Concept artwork reveals that Diana originally had yellow blonde hair with pale yellow highlights.
Diana can perform the extremely complicated Nullification Spell to negate any kind of magic which is part of the powerful Fusion Magic, which can enhance the user s power on her spells. She s likely had a very regimented and structured, dare-I-say sterile childhood spent being groomed into the witch she is today, so I think its safe to say she didn t spend much time with other kids, only even exchanging hellos with kids her age at parties hosted by her family.

(Theory/analysis) Midnight rambling about Diana
I think we can all agree that episode 13 was pretty great, in my own opinion its the best LWA has been since the original OVA, and is the first time since I originally watched LWA-OVA that I truly felt a sense of childlike wonder that I thought had forever been lost to my craggy, broken soul.
However what I liked most about this episode was how it portrayed Diana. Diana has been a pretty divisive character in the LWA community; for a long time, Diana was disliked for being a two-faced bully, an angel to her teachers and a bitch to Akko, but that all shifted with the release of the TV series and she quickly because a fan favorite. This is understandable, after all TV-Diana is an entirely different character to OVA-Diana; where OVA-Diana was rude, TV-Diana is cold, where OVA-Diana is arrogant, Diana is impassive. At her very worst, Diana only ever shows annoyance with Akko, and she sometimes shows that same annoyance to her cronies Hannah and Barbara.
Diana isn't my favorite character, that honor goes to our glorious Mushroom-Queen. I do find her to be the most interesting character in the cast at the moment, having far more nuance to her character than our main trio has. Which brings us to a starting topic: From what we've been show in the 1st Cour, Diana shows pretty clear signs of loneliness.
Diana is a powerful witch in her own right, but she's also the scion of the Cavindish family, which means that she's also a famous witch. She's likely had a very regimented and structured, dare-I-say sterile childhood spent being groomed into the witch she is today, so I think its safe to say she didn't spend much time with other kids, only even exchanging hellos with kids her age at parties hosted by her family. Its safe to assume she grew up friendless.
At Luna Nova, she has no true friends. She has plenty of admirers and awed onlookers, but the closest things she has to friends are her roommates Hannah and Barbara, a pair of sycophants who clearly just want to use Diana to coast ahead. While she allows them to "hang-out" with her, its pretty clear there's no sort of friendship between them; Hannah-Barbara can't tell a blatantly fake Diana from the real thing, even as she paints their faces with marker and orders them to stand outside all night, and Diana regularly ignores what they say to her, not even deigning it with a response. In Diana's eyes, they're her roommates and nothing more.
This is pure conjecture, but I'd even be willing to speculate that a more than sizable part of Diana outright hates them. As someone who was roommates with a pair of easily hateable nitwits, its very easy to put on a poker face at some of the more despicable things they do, like bullying one of your classmates. Living with someone you openly hate and who openly hates you can be far worse than just keeping your mouth shut.
So Diana has no friends. That's pretty sad, but what I find more interesting is the fact that she has no idea what to do about it. She could try to forge a more real friendship with Hannah and Barbara, but as I pointed out, there's a possibility that Diana already dislikes them. Most of her classmates are too awed by her to ever actually see her for who she is which leaves. Akko. The silly, clumsy, bumbling witch who always seems to be having fun. Akko seems to have plenty of friends, from fiesty Amanda to Best-Girl Sucy, and they all seem to be constantly having fun. Diana wishes she could be having that kind of fun, like Akko.
As a friend of mine who speaks Japanese pointed out to me, Diana wasn't being rude to Akko when the first met in the cafeteria in episode 2. As it was explained to me, her speaking is very formal, which in English comes across as either freaky or condescending, but in Japanese she was mostly just being overly polite. She didn't become rude until Akko brought up Chariot, someone who Diana has clearly grown to resent over the years. I see this as a sign that Diana wanted to be friends with the only girl in her school who treats her like a normal human being.
As a commenter (Whose comment I cannot, for the life of me, find at the moment) on another post noted, the mirror from episode 12 likely reflects a person's true desires; it turned Akko into Diana because Akko wants to be revered and respected like Diana. Diana's reflection is making a funny/mocking face at herself. This could be taken as one of two things, although i think there's a bit of truth in both of them. The first is that the mocking gesture represents Diana wanting to cut loose and have some fun. The second is Diana having a certain self-loathing for herself, that her inner self is mocking the person she pretends to be.
And so, after much rambling, we come to my point! In the last scene of episode 13, Diana wonders allowed "What has caused this feeling?" We of course know that Akko is what caused that feeling, but what we don't know for certain is what she's feeling. I've seen many people thinking she'll feel angry at Akko for stealing her spotlight, guilty that she took the title she knows Akko deserves, and more, but I think what she's feeling is envy. The shot immediately following this is one of Akko tearfully hugging Sucy and Lotte, a kind of closeness Diana does not have with Hannah and Barbara and likely will never have with them. Diana envies the true friendship that Akko has with them, and while she's had this envy for the entire series, its only at this moment, when Diana is at her lowest point, that she realizes what the feeling actually is.
- In grand Gainax/Trigger fashion, I think Diana will likely become a close ally and friend for Akko, following in the tradition left by Viral and Lordgenome in Gurren Lagann, Satsuki and the Elite Four in Kill la Kill, and Midori in Space Patrol Luluco. I put this at a 100% chance of occuring, I do not see any conceivable way that this wont happen,and I give it a 80% chance of happening within the next 2 episodes. If I had to take a guess, their relationship will go one of two ways:
- Diana will be a hybrid of Viral and Midori. Like Viral and Simon, Akko and Diana have extremely similar personalities that will cause them to stubbornly butt heads when they first start working together. Like Midori and Luluco, this will likely involve a lot of snide, sarcastic quips at one another, but like Viral and Simon, Diana and Akko will agree with each other's plans wholeheartedly and both know that they have each other's back when it counts. I give this a 60% chance.
- Diana will be Satsuki in the epilogue of Kill la Kill. Finally able to relax around true friends, Diana will turn out to be nothing like the cold-hearted ice-queen that Akko assumed she was, and will actually turn out to be as caring and loyal at Lotte (And probably more caring than Sucy). I give this a 25% chance.
- Diana will tell Hannah and Barbara off for treating Akko so badly, proving to Akko that Diana truly does value her. I give this a 60% chance.
- Hannah and Barbara start being sycophants towards Akko instead of Diana. If Diana does not tell them off, I give this a 100% chance, otherwise I still think there's a 50% chance of it happening. 20% chance of this happening in the next episode.
- Ursula suffers from Mentor Occupation Hazard . I give this a 60% chance of happening in the next five episodes, and a 30% chance of happening in the final two episodes.
- Croix turns out to be a former stagehand to Chariot. I give this a 30% chance, based on the cubes that form the dragon as part of Chariots show in the first episode.
- Croix is/works for an ancient evil planning to use the Grand Triskelion to cause a magical uprising. I give this a 40% chance, given that Chariot seems surprised by the dragons appearance, and leaves immediately after the dragon is destroyed (Even though her show started only a moment ago. Given the shocked reaction of the adults in the crowd, this seems like an unintended part of the show).
Tell me what you think, and if you have theories of your own. I apologize for the ramble-based format, its 2 a.m. here and I'm very tired.
