Diascia

Role in Story:	Lobelia's younger sister.

Occupation:

Physical Description:	Diascia is a few years younger than Lobelia with copper brown hair pulled back with a flamboyant ribbon and wide chestnut eyes, her features are softer and she has a dimpled smile.

Personality:	Diascia is more subdued and sweet than Lovelia, and content with her life, though she is on the hunt for a wealthy husband to solidify her status at court. She is rather naïve and less imposing than her elder sister.

Background:	With Lobelia, she was sent to Artemisia court to curry Roland's favour. Being foreign and generally overlooked, she spent much of her time with Lobelia.

Notes: In Artemisian tradition, she is styled Lady Diascia Anthusa.

Diascia is the name of a flower.

Fun fact: She and Lobelia were present in the original dream conception of the story, but were removed from the first draft, then re-added after revisions and changed to have more important roles.

Fun fact 2: they were designed after Petz (Lobelia) and Calaveras (Diascia) from Sailor Moon.
