So, here's an alt ref for Dianne, not just for Shacklestone. She might be helping people in the present, but Dianne wasn't the nicest person back in the day. Btw, @Radiant, this is the armor she's currently wearing in the Shacklestone RP. I'm also going to include a short snippet of her past and a little made up poem. Y'know, world building stuff.

Long ago, in the Land of Iron, there was a cult of necromancers devoted to serving the deity of death. Among them were Dolorus, the Serpent of Death, leader of the cult, Ardens Cornu, the Living Inferno, and Delilah, the Orphan Maker. For a thousand years, Delilah carried out Dolorus’ will, and brutally ended life as commanded. All, that is, except the children, hence the name, Orphan Maker. It was not until the great war in Ferros that this cult was defeated. An Akhetian, revered as a creator god, managed to turn the hearts of Delilah and Ardens, effectively breaking up the cult, and with the combined efforts of Delilah, Ardens, the Akhetians, High King Magnus, and his people, Dolorus was defeated, destroyed, and cast out. After this event, Delilah fled any form of justice that was to be meted out to her, and went into hiding, ashamed of her terrible acts. In the Shacklestone RP, she now resides in Vallis.

Beware, beware, hide yourselves when you sleep.
Leave the children, leave them be
It is your life you must save
For the Orphan Maker seeks her slaves

Long ago, on this eve,
Delilah, rested with her seed
But the father took Mira and took her life
To impress a more attractive wife
Out, Delilah ran, nearly slain
Replaced by the harlot who cannot be named

Driven by loss and hate and grief
From injustice, she sought relief
So Dolorus showed her the darkest way
And made her what she is today

Newfound power and hate in her heart
She returned and the couple, she ripped apart
Forced them to suffer for all of time
Yet closure and peace, Delilah could not find

Consumed by the darkness, she goes on
Serving Dolorus as his pawn
Gone is Delilah, loving mother and wife
Her absence gave the Orphan Maker life

Her tragedy has turned her heart
And now she seeks to tear apart
So beware, beware the Orphan Maker’s hum
For this monster, she has become.
~The Tragedy of the Orphan Maker

She looks freaking cool here! That backstory stuff was really fun to read too. I have respect for you for being able to make up poetry, I've never been able to do that. XD
Dianne's probably one of my favourite OCs of yours. She's just really developed and interesting.
