History[]
Yo-kai Watch 2[]
Diana is first encountered in Gourd Pond Museum's vault, which houses the hidden Gate Room. She begins a sidequest involving Gates of Whimsy where she recruits the player in retrieving Gate Globes to open the doors within the chamber, which surround a large gate.
Once the final gate is opened, the mastermind behind the gates is revealed to be the Yo-kai Eyephoon. He challenges the player to a battle and decides to leave upon being defeated. Diana expresses her satisfaction in having discovered the secret behind the gates and quickly announces her plan of utilizing the mystical properties of the gates for solving housing problems. She urges the player to continue collecting Gate Globes and trades Large Exporbs per three globes.
Yo-kai Watch 3[]
Diana returns in Yo-kai Watch 3, with her research leading her to BBQ. She is met by Nathan "Nate" Adams again and attempts to rope him into being her assistant once more, though he quickly refuses. She briefly returns to Springdale and encounters Hailey Anne Thomas in Gourd Pond Museum, where she also recruits her in obtaining Gates Globes.
Upon returning to BBQ, she seeks Nate out and urges him to help her with her research. At Buck Hazeltine's insistence, Nate reluctantly agrees to aid her. Together, Nate and co. discover the Pearly Chamber of Whimsy disguised as an abandoned garage in the Northbeech's Wacky Woods. Shortly after their discovery, Diana sets up camp near the garage.
While Nate and co. investigate the UFO sightings in BBQ, they eventually run out of leads, but stumble upon Usapyon's blog post mentioning the holder of a the rare Issue 20 of Fancy That! with an article on UFOs. Nate and co. deduce Diana as the issue's holder and return to her in the Pearly Chamber of Whimsy, where she willingly hands the issue over to the group.
During the quest The Sorrows of Old Zomboy, Diana is approached by Nate and co. during their search for Francesca Stein, where it is revealed that she was an old acquaintance of the fellow academic during their college days[1]. She directs Nate to the Phantomart in East Pine, informing him that Francesca conducts her research there. Once they find the doctor, they return to Diana to have her assist in recovering Zomboy's memories. She suggests he enter the Pearly Chamber of Whimsy, which she claims that within the gates are human memories. When Zomboy emerges having recalled his past, he requests Francesca assist him in returning him to his human form. Diana manages to persuade the reluctant doctor in assisting the half-zombie, but shows some concern for him when Francesca expresses her desire to thoroughly study him in the process.
