==Personality==
Diantha seems to be a polite and classy woman who talks formally and she is kind to the [[player character]] when they challenge her once more.

==Etymology==
<section begin="Etymology"/>The name '''Diantha''' comes from "Dianthus", a genus of flowers and ''ánthos'' (flower).

Her Japanese name, '''Karune''', comes from the "carnation" flower and possibly "coronation".<section end="Etymology"/>

==Biography==
The first time the player character encounters Diantha is in Café Soleil, a scarlet-painted café in [[South Boulevard]], accompanied by [[Serena]]/[[Calem]], where she can be seen chatting to [[Lysandre]]. Lysandre compliments Diantha of how well she portrayed a young girl on the silver screen; he then inquires whether she would like to remain young forever and always play such roles. Diantha then replies, saying about how unusual his question was. Lysandre next directly informs the player character of Diantha's great acting.

As soon as Lysandre leaves the café, Diantha politely asks the player character and the friend they are accompanied by who they are, which perfectly accentuates her sociable disposition.

She is later encountered in the Seaside Station in [[Coumarine City]] with [[Professor Sycamore]]. After Sycamore leaves, she comments on the power of bonds and asks to battle the player character the next time they meet. She is not seen again until the end of the main story where she is revealed to be the champion of the [[Kalos]] region.

After the player character becomes the Champion, Diantha reappears at Café Soleil, waiting for the player character to trade one of the Pokémon for a [[Ralts]] holding a [[Mega Stone|Gardevoirite]]. When the player character reaches the highest rank in [[Battle Chateau]], Grand Duke/Grand Duchess, she starts appearing as a Grand Duchess as the strongest trainer encountered in the Battle Chateau.

==Trivia==
*The "wings" on Diantha's model are flat 2D images.
*Diantha is the only Kalos League trainer whose signature Pokémon is not introduced in Generation VI.
*In Diantha's Champion battle, every one of her Pokémon has a different stat as its highest: 
**Hawlucha in Speed 
***However, Hawlucha is the only one that doesn't give out Effort Values in its corresponding highest stat, Speed, instead giving out EVs in Attack.
**Tyrantrum in Attack 
**Aurorus in HP 
**Gourgeist in Defense 
**Goodra in Special Defense 
**Gardevoir in Special Attack
*Her hairstyle and eyelashes are based on the late actress [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audrey_Hepburn Audrey Hepburn]'s.
