Appearance
Diane is a towering figure compared to her human companions due to her Giant heritage. She has long brown hair tied into twin tails, large amber-colored eyes, and a curvaceous build. Her default outfit consists of a short orange dress, boots, and fingerless gloves. As a warrior of the Giant Clan, Diane’s strength is immediately apparent from her muscular build and powerful frame, though her bubbly and friendly demeanor often contrasts with her imposing appearance.
During battle, Diane wields her Sacred Treasure, the War Hammer Gideon, a massive weapon designed to channel her power over earth and creation. Despite her large size and immense strength, Diane is surprisingly agile and graceful, often using her environment to her advantage during combat.
Diane, the Serpent Sin of Envy, demonstrates her immense strength as she strikes her armor, a powerful symbol of her resolve and determination. As the Giantess of the group, she wrestles with feelings of inadequacy, yet channels her emotions into fierce combat.
Personality
Diane is a cheerful, energetic, and compassionate individual, though her personality is also deeply shaped by her insecurity about her Giant heritage and her feelings of isolation. Despite her immense physical power, she often yearns to be smaller so she can fit in with humans and live a more normal life. Diane is gentle by nature and avoids unnecessary violence, often showing kindness and concern for others, even those outside of her clan.
Her relationship with King is one of her defining characteristics. Diane has harbored feelings for King for a long time, though she initially didn’t realize the depth of her affection due to memory loss. Over time, her love for him becomes a key motivation in her character arc, and their relationship is central to her growth as a person and a warrior.
Diane is also loyal and protective of her comrades in the Seven Deadly Sins, seeing them as family. Her bond with Meliodas is particularly strong, and she once harbored a crush on him, but over time, she realized her heart truly belonged to King. Diane’s emotional vulnerability makes her a well-rounded character, with her struggles balancing her strength as a Giant and her gentle, empathetic nature at the forefront of her development.
Powers and Abilities
In a striking display of might, Diane wields her sacred weapon, Gideon, embodying the essence of Envy. As the Serpent Sin, she harnesses her jealousy into formidable strength, transforming it into a protective force for her friends.
Creation
Diane’s inherent magical power, Creation, allows her to manipulate the earth and shape it into various forms. She can create massive boulders, raise the ground to create shields or weapons, and even form earthquakes. This power is deeply connected to the Giant Clan’s affinity for the earth, and Diane’s control over this power grows significantly throughout the series. As her mastery of Creation improves, she gains the ability to affect larger areas and use her power more creatively in combat.
War Hammer Gideon
War Hammer Gideon
Diane’s Sacred Treasure, Gideon, is a massive war hammer specifically designed for Giants. It enhances her power over Creation, allowing her to channel more magical energy and amplify the effects of her earth-based attacks. Despite its size, Diane wields Gideon with ease, using it to deliver devastating blows and protect her allies.
Power of the Giants
After inheriting Drole’s legacy, Diane learns the Dance of the Dolor, a technique that enhances her control over Creation. This dance allows her to manipulate the earth with even greater precision, channeling her magic more efficiently and accessing the full potential of her Giant heritage. This technique represents Diane’s growth as both a warrior and a leader of her people.
Dance of the Dolor
King is one of the strongest members of the Seven Deadly Sins, with his magical power rivaling that of the strongest warriors in Britannia. His command over Disaster and his skill with Chastiefol make him a formidable opponent in battle.
Legacy
Diane’s journey from a shy, insecure Giant to the Queen of the Giants is one of the most compelling character arcs in The Seven Deadly Sins. Her growth as a warrior, leader, and individual highlights her strength, compassion, and determination. Diane’s marriage to King symbolizes the union of the Giant Clan and Fairy Clan, bringing peace and prosperity to both races. Her legacy as a powerful and kind-hearted warrior will forever be remembered in the world of Nanatsu no Taizai, with her and King’s descendants carrying on their legacy of love and unity.
Relationships
King
King has been in love with Diane for centuries, although it took him a long time to express his feelings openly.

Elizabeth Liones
Diane shares a close friendship with Elizabeth, the princess of Liones and Meliodas’s lover. The two women bond over their shared experiences as members of the Seven Deadly Sins and their mutual desire to protect the people they care about. Elizabeth often serves as a source of emotional support for Diane, helping her navigate her feelings and insecurities.
