Diana

Diana is Claymore No. 44 of Clare's generation.

Etymology
"Diana" is one of two transliterations of the Japanese "Deanna" (ディアナ, pronounced "dee-an-nah"). " "Diana" itself is usually spelled "ダイアナ."

"Diana" is derived from the Indo-European root-word for "divine." Diana is the Roman goddess of the moon, hunting and forests.

"Deanna" derives either from Middle English "dene" (valley), or "deen" (from Latin for "chief of ten"). Or from "Diana."

Biography
She was part of Jean's party in the Northern Campaign along with Eliza (#17), Emelia (#27) and Natalie (#37). She was the lowest ranked Claymore to be killed in the campaign.

Like the rest of Jean's team Diana is defeated by the flying Awakened Being, which it blames on Jean's leadership skills. Diana and the rest of Jean's team were rescued by the arrival of Veronica's team. Veronica, Jean' Helen and Cynthia managed to kill the Awakened Being.

Diana is seen attacking an Awakened Being with Natalie during the second battle. This distracted the being and allowed Jean to hit it with her "Drill Sword", killing it instantly. Diana was later killed by another Awakened Being under Isley's command. None of Jean's team survived the battle.
