Diana Childs, Dante’s Cove

Diana Childs (Thea Gill)

On Dante’s Cove, an LGBT-focused supernatural soap opera, Diana was a witch who had major issues with her sister Grace because of something that had happened hundreds of years before the events of the show.

In Season 2, she attempted to go back in time and save her father and kill her mother, so that she would inherit their family’s power, instead of her sister Grace. She and Grace used the novice witch Van as a pawn in their game, but Diana became fond of Van over the course of the season, eventually kissing her and later, helping Van go back in time herself to try and save her former girlfriend Michelle, who had killed herself.

In Season 3, Diana believed that she was helping Michelle find out who murdered her parents and Van, but in reality, Michelle was seducing her for information. Eventually Diana found out that Michelle was possessed by a dark force and she allied with her sister to banish the shadow from Michelle. Without telling her sister, she took the shadow for herself, turning into a homicidal maniac, before killing several people including Michelle. Finally, Grace and others were able to destroy Diana’s physical body and lock her shadow-corrupted spirit in a magical box.
