Dian

Inspired by: Wild Arbor Dian Hong (Black Tea)

Traits: Usually shy and a bit clumsy, but also very smart!

Feeling frustrated is one thing, but the frustration of losing a spelling bee to a 6-year-old who flawlessly spells "anthropomorphic" is another. Dian would be that 6-year-old Gaidopian you’d lose to.

She’s read so many books that she ran out of space and decided to open her own library in Gaido Village!

When she's not organizing bookshelves or sending notices for overdue books, Dian actually knows how to have fun. She loves unwinding with a good book, solving mysteries, and writing her own stories inspired by the many adventures she’s read about.

She spent most of her life trying NOT to be noticed, which led to some pretty embarrassing moments—like tripping over her own feet while escaping a crowded room or walking while reading and falling straight into a Gaidopet burrow (let’s just say that Gaidopet was not amused).

Writing became her voice, helping her share her thoughts and connect with others. Now, even if she’s still a little clumsy, she never stumbles when it comes to telling a great story. She eventually found courage in her words.

But Dian wasn’t always the confident bookworm she is today. Expressing herself felt impossible, so she often hid behind her books. She had thoughts and ideas she wanted to share, but speaking up was never easy.
