Diane Romero

Diane Romero was a cadet at The Pilgrim Space Academy, and a close friend of Margaret Dale.

Background
Her father was Carlos Romero, who ran a hovercar repair shop on Planet Ymir during most of her childhood.

From an early age, she was an extremely talented engineer, as well as being quite a proficient lock-picker and thief thanks to the lessons of her father. She built her first droid when she was eight years old, and named him Norbert.

First Year at the Academy
Thanks to her remarkable gifts, her father managed to enroll her as a first-year cadet in the Pilgrim Space Academy in 2214. At first she struggled to make friends, but she soon connected with Kenrick Morse who was also something an outsider.

She would later find a soulmate in Margaret Dale when she arrived at the academy. After hearing Maggie's story about surviving an attack on Latona Station, Diane researched the station and found that it was not mentioned anywhere on the Galactic Register. She tried to warn Maggie that there was something strange going on, though she was reluctant to listen at first.

Eventually, Maggie changed her mind and Diane helped her to investigate a couple of faculty members who had been acting suspiciously. A teacher Kathy Brown was ultimately revealed to be a traitor working for a shadowy organisation called Fractus.

When Kathy held Gail Pilgrim and the other faculty members hostage in the gymnasium, Maggie and Diane used Norbert to save the day. Norbert was destroyed in the process, but he was rebuilt the following year as Norbert 2.0.

(More to come!)

Personality
When Maggie first met Diane at the academy, she was very passive and often allowed people to push her around. However, her friendship with Maggie helped her to develop greater confidence and assert herself more.

Despite having an extremely nervous disposition, Diane demonstrated her bravery on a number of occasions. Her desire to help others would often land her in dangerous situations.
