This young engineer seeks a life of freedom and adventure in the untamed skies.
Born to a Garlean father and Hyuran mother, Diamanda spent much of her childhood looked down upon by her pureblood peers. This only intensified after her engineer father faced public disgrace after his death in the Bozja Incident. Inspired by this and her admiration of Cid Garlond, she sought to redeem her family name by earning recognition as an engineer.
When she entered the imperial Magitek Academy at age sixteen, her earnest efforts produced many innovative designs, yet she received little credit and almost no accolades. Determined to prove herself in the meritocracy, she enlisted in the imperial army at age twenty-two, sent to Ala Mhigo to join the XIVth Legion.
Diamanda's time working under Nero tol Scaeva began in the factories of Ala Mhigo, where she witnessed countless abuses by her fellow soldiers against the "aan" and the squalor in which native Ala Mhigans were consigned to live. It later saw her involved in the Meteor Project, helping to construct a lunar transmitter alongside the VIIth Legion. Despite her growing to loathe herself, she remained silent until she witnessed the results of her work from on high, aboard Lord Gaius's airship at Carteneau.
Horrified by what she'd done, she stole a magitek reaper and sabotaged the defenses at Castrum Centri to make her escape into Ul'dahn territory. Arrested and held in the Marasaja Pit, the chance arrival of Jessie Jaye saved her from life as a noxius, putting her to work as a member of Garlond Ironworks.
