History

Basic Timeline:
1996-Kidnapped by The Prince.
1997-Returned from Arcardia, having aged 10 years.
1997-2000-Travels across the country. During this period, she ends up spending a significant amount of time in the court of September's Children.
2000 to 2002-Disappeared off the radar.
2003 to Present-Sheriff of Bloom Town, IN.

Background: Diana was kidnapped on the eve of her 16th birthday by The Prince, Monarch of a Maiden's Dream and Knight in Shining Armor, who decided that she would be the perfect princess for Him (just like all the others before her). And, just like all the others before her, she was rebellious and unappreciative of His gifts, forcing Him to discipline her. His specific discipline for this princess took the form of a twisted version of Sleeping Beauty: a nightmare-filled dream stasis intersperced with periods of waking nightmares. For the next 10 years, she was subject to this cycle of sleep and awakening. Eventually, as He always does, He became bored with His Sleeping Beauty and tossed her to the side, leaving her trapped in nightmares.

She would have spent eternity trapped in sleep, but a group of changelings getting ready to escape through the hedge woke her with a kiss of sorrow and regret, then took her with them. Raiding the armory, she stole one of the swords her Prince had often carried when He "rescued" her from her sleep. When the escapees emerged back into the real world, she discovered that the 10 years that passed for her in Arcadia was only a year in the real world.

On the eve of what would have been her 17th birthday, the twenty-something Sleeping Beauty strangled her fetch with her bare hands, then set off into the world to find her fortunes.
