Though few demons can ever command as much respect as any of the members of the High Council comprised of the Original Fallen, Diana Rose comes remarkably close in many respects, and perhaps supersedes them in a few choice ones.

The leader of the Rose Family, both a literal family with her as the eldest, and a loose confederation of demon merchants of which she acts as the matriarch, Diana is a very well respected, and oft desired member of the Dis citizenry. Her family offers both material goods as well as personal services, and Diana's personal attentions are some of the most prized (and most expensive) in the city. And not without reason, it's said that her abilities rival even Old Scratch's left-hand dame's in certain capacities, even if it happens to be a playful competition.

Not that it was always that way, of course.

One of many in one of the imp matriarch Lilith's multitude of broods, Diana was a fairly unexceptional imp to start out with. Set out into the world, mainly as food for bigger and stronger demons, her chances at any sort of actual life were slim at best.

Yet, somehow, with a little luck, some fortunate friends, and an usual capacity for learning quickly and being able to make the most of the tools that she acquired, Diana quickly amassed power as a young demon, growing and changing to suit the world around her.

With the right doses of honey and vinegar, she was able to make the right friends and enemies, climbing her way up the social ranks and evolving into an accomplished succubus. Amassing a large group of loyal followers and sycophants with her endless charm and legendary sexual ability, she has become exceptionally powerful. She wraps that power tightly in a soft, gentle outer exterior, but only a fool would mistake her kindness for weakness.

After all, she is one of very few demons to make it to the top echelons of Dis society, all without having ever had a human soul to start with. It takes a lot to become as old as she is when your kind generally has a very short lifespan, and it's something that she's understandably very proud of.

Will she be a friend or foe to our heroes, however? Well, only time will tell, but if they're smart... well I know where I'd want to stand.

Happy 4th Anniversary, Various Happenings!

It doesn't feel that long, but goodness. And we've only just begun... hopefully after this rough patch, things will be going a bit quicker than they have through 2018.

I've been working on this piece forever! I couldn't decide which version to put up, so I went with the one that was the most correct color wise. The options are very much like my Marcy pic, and I think this might be my new featured one if I can decide which one to use. Hehe.

I also included a nude one for you all, and a topless one, because I thought it looked nice. I hope you all enjoy it. <3

I can't wait to show her off in the actual comic~
