* EnfantTerrible: The experiment only turned Diana into a literal monster; as a child, she was already cruel and sadistic. She drove her father to commit suicide, became a PoisonousFriend to Sophie and eventually broke her legs.

Her impulsive cruelty now extending to trying to kill Sophie’s children (despite not wanting anything to do with their mother at first) out of nothing more than paranoia and spite, and her AxCrazy tendencies amplified to the point that she goes on a killing rampage when pressed enough, tearing apart several people out of impotent frustration.
