Diane Aardvark

Diane is an anthropomorphic aardvark of average height with gray fur and a thin tail. She has a pair of sharp ears and tuffs on the back of her head, a raised white gray muzzle with a black snout and a tuff of smooth gray hair on her head. She also has noticeable wrinkles on her forehead and very dark purple irises. Her attire consists of a short sleeved lavender shirt and purple skirt, a white coat, black high-heeled boots with gray soles, and a golden bracelet on her wrist. She also appears to wear pink lipstick.

Diane is a dignified and aesthete woman. She has a strong passion for her work as a photographer, encouraging her clients in a positive manner to express themselves to their full extend. She also takes great interest in art and poetry, having more than once displayed a poetic interpretation and appreciation for people who express themselves in unique and unorthodox ways. However, she tends to look way too much into what interests her, as she often sees messages in random things and acts which have no deeper meaning to them.

When a creative talent catches her interest (intentionally or not), Diane will boldly support and defend them and their work, even if it goes against others' wishes, like when she ordered Knuckles not to clean up an artistic mess he made, or when she had Gunther back off when he doubted her choice in creative executives. She also displays a slightly sassy attitude when trying to make a point.

While at work, Diane keeps a professional demeanor. As a photographer at Modern Lair Magazine, she would go as far as to maintain a very calm and stoic attitude; upon seeing Eggman's highly praised photo setting in ruins, a sight of which left Gunther stunned, Diane did not express the slightest of emotions, nor was she touched by Eggman's pleas for a second chance. Outside of that profession though, Diane has proven herself more open, sociable and outgoing. Nowadays, she is able to enjoy herself and cut loose when allowed, and has even shown celebrative moods, like when she took her staff out to celebrate a good day of work. Nonetheless, Diane has no tolerance for inadequate settings or poor work from her employees, having bluntly fired both Gunther and Knuckles when they did something she disapproved of, and completely ignored Eggman's pleas for another chance.
