Hobbies:
Studying About Different Cultures – Dia loves studying about different cultures if only, because she was born in Egypt. Adopted by her uncle, who was an influential, nationalized American Doctor fighting disease in his home country of Egypt, she lost everything, before she could even remember. Learning about Egypt helps her regain a sense of something that was lost. Studying other countries helps her help other families. She often dresses in Egyptian attire at home. However, if she is helping other people from countries that have just immigrated, she may wear their style of dress to help them feel more comfortable.
Ice Carving – Although she likes hotter temperatures, Dia has taken up Ice Carving, as a preferred hobby as it relieves stress time to time. As a technical (technical, as in order, abstract, complex shapes, i.e., a decahedron, etc.) art form, it allows her to express herself without losing order. She has won several ribbons in a few low-level contests. She has tried to teach Dani; however, Dani will have none of it. As to why she started it, she first saw it live at an art festival in the small town that she and Dani used to live in. Somehow, something deep was triggered in her spirit and she was enamored with it now and forever. As for the coldness versus her hot preferences, she seems to know the cold just in a different way than the heat- she prefers the heat on her skin. But she can work with the cold.
Virtues:
Self-Less – Dia has a lot of personal goals in her life, but her family comes first. At the age of 23, she was in the middle of her Senior Year of college when fate tore her family apart. Her older niece Dria vanished, and Dria’s twin, and Dia’s nephew Drew had a psychotic break. So, that her brother and her sister-in-law could better care for Drew and search for Dria, Dia took her younger niece, Dani and moved away, becoming Dani’s guardian and second mother. In the process, she sacrificed her own college career, temporarily. Now that the family is back together, she is happily attending DCU, finishing her Senior Year (of her bachelor's degree of pre-Med) and preparing for Med School. However, should her family need her again, they need just ask…
Focused – Dia is strongly focused on her personal goals. She wants to be a doctor for WHO (World Health Organization) like her adopted father and go treat the sick in third-world countries, back to her roots. She wants to finish medical school of course and wants to study all different kinds of Medicine she possibly can. She wants to find out what happened to her twin sister… She will most of the time forge on to finish her goals. There are also times when she will help others remain focused on their goals.
Flaws:
Soft-Hearted – Dia values two things higher than anything else, her personal goals, and of course her family. While she works diligently with her personal goals, she will sacrifice anything for her family. This has already been evidenced by the fact that she already has given up her dreams once for them. However, she has gone further than that, her first jobs were in her brother’s big business, even though she wanted something else. There are countless examples throughout her life. However, she will also help anyone else she feels is in need at times. She will put their needs over her own. This can negatively affect her and her family in several ways. At times, she has ended on food stamps and her family had to take care of her financial needs until she could get back on her feet, because she decided to pay a stranger's hospital bill, who apparently couldn't pay their own, but later this turned out to be inaccurate. Or the fact that she is in therapy and on depression medication because of what happened to her family.
Doesn’t Take Time to Destress – Dia rarely takes time to destress, except with Ice Carving, but that’s only when she can find time to. Between School, her job at her brother’s business, family and her soon to be alter-ego, she does not have much time for herself. Or finding her twin. This has led to health problems, memory problems, and relationship problems. She hasn't been able to have a solid relationship with a potential significant other in years. Her grades are dropping, due to memory and emotional problems - sometimes she has to just break stuff. Scary that she was once the guardian of her niece, Dani-from age 6 - 9.
