She only has a few close friends, but is (mostly) a great person to be around. She is quite smart (but not smarter than her twin), and she does not think she is good at Art, but she is. She isn't very sporty, and she is a bit taller than average height. Whenever she argues with her twin brother, she gets vexed and doesn't stop talking. Her and her twin have telepathic powers and can finish each other’s sentences. If you ever meet a Diadem then do not let her go because she is a gem.
