Strange Behavior: Diane's Reaction To Gowther's Revelation

Diane, the Serpent Sin of Envy, is a member of the Seven Deadly Sins and a giantess. She is 30 feet tall and possesses incredible strength. Diane is a complex character who is often misunderstood due to her size. She struggles with feelings of loneliness and yearns to be accepted and loved.

Diane's behaviour changes after Gowther, the Goat Sin of Lust, erases her memories. Gowther is a doll created by a great wizard and is a member of the Seven Deadly Sins. He lacks the ability to comprehend emotions, which often leads to misunderstandings. In an attempt to understand human emotions and bonds, Gowther conducts an experiment on Diane, erasing her memories and using her as a test subject. This causes Diane to act strange and run back to her home territory.

Diane eventually regains her memories and forgives Gowther, recognising that he was only trying to understand emotions.

Diane's feelings for Gowther

However, Diane's feelings towards Gowther begin to change when she discovers that Gowther has erased her memories of the Seven Deadly Sins. She is unaware of Gowther's role in causing her memory loss, and when she regains her memories, she becomes more compassionate towards him, adamant to help guide him down the right path. She is also the first to comfort Gowther after he recovers his own memories and emotions.

Diane and Gowther's relationship is further complicated by the fact that Gowther is a doll created by a great wizard in the form of his old lover. Gowther is revealed to be an animated doll created by a demon sorcerer and forced to bear the Demon King's soul fragment, which causes him to lose his sense of self. Despite Gowther's questionable actions, Diane eventually comes to see him as a friend and comrade.

Diane's relationship with King

Diane and King's relationship in the manga series *The Seven Deadly Sins* is a unique one, with King being a fairy and Diane a giant. Their differences in species complement each other, with King's gentle nature balancing Diane's more straightforward and strong-willed personality.

The two first met when Diane found an injured King lying unconscious on a riverbank and nursed him back to health. They spent the next 500 years together before King had to erase her memories and leave. Centuries later, they meet again as members of the Seven Deadly Sins, but Diane does not remember King. Despite Diane's initial affection for Meliodas, she eventually regains her childhood memories of King and falls in love with him.

Their relationship is a combination of friendship and romance, with King becoming more confident as he spends more time with Diane, and Diane showing more vulnerability and emotional depth through their interactions. Their relationship is tested as they work together to protect the kingdom, but they eventually get married and have about seven children.

Diane's relationship with Meliodas

Diane and Meliodas are both members of the Seven Deadly Sins. Diane had strong feelings for Meliodas, often cuddling him and becoming very delighted by his compliments. Her feelings were strong enough for her to overcome her fears for his sake. Diane's feelings for Meliodas stemmed from her confusion of him with King, with whom she had spent 500 years and fallen in love. Diane's feelings for Meliodas were so strong that she immediately desired to have children with him after shrinking in size. She often got jealous of other girls who she suspected of having a close relationship with the captain and dealt with it by raging at him.

Diane's future dream was to become small and have children with Meliodas. She respected him a lot and called him captain. However, her feelings of love towards Meliodas disappeared as she regained her memories of King, thus falling in love with the fairy. She still showed respect and care for Meliodas afterward. After passing her trial and learning about Meliodas and Elizabeth's curse, Meliodas comforted Diane, who felt bad for not knowing, and in turn, Diane became all the more protective and supportive of both him and Elizabeth as her friends. After regaining her memories, Diane often joined Hawk in scolding Meliodas for groping Elizabeth.

Diane's relationship with Ban

Diane and Ban are both members of the Seven Deadly Sins and are generally friendly with each other, though they tend to show a bit of rudeness to each other when they converse. They are shown to have a teasing relationship and a rivalry, often engaging in arm-wrestling competitions, which Diane usually wins. Despite their rivalry, Diane is shown to care for Ban, becoming upset when he didn't wear the new outfit she and King bought for him. Ban is aware of Diane's abilities and is shown to worry about her when she is raging.

Ban and Diane worked together for nearly a decade, yet Diane never knew about Ban's ability to sap his opponents of their strength to make himself stronger. She was, however, familiar with his other antics, such as his competitiveness against Meliodas, which would always result in a friendly but deadly arm-wrestling competition.

Ban and Diane's relationship is also based on the Arthurian legend of Elaine of Benoic and her husband, King Ban. In the anime, Ban and Elaine's love story parallels that of the royal couple. Later in the series, Elaine gives birth to a son named Lancelot, inspired by Lancelot, son of Elaine of Benoic, and companion of King Arthur.

Diane's relationship with Escanor

Diane and Escanor are both members of the Seven Deadly Sins, and as such, their relationship is that of comrades. Due to their limited interaction with one another, it is currently unknown how close they are compared to other members of the Sins, however, like Ban, Diane is very wary of Escanor during the day, and has even stated that she finds him scary when his power is active. However, Diane has also shown great admiration of Escanor and trusts in his abilities, hailing him as the strongest man alive after he managed to defeat Meliodas and proclaiming he could handle anything. Escanor himself sees Diane as inferior and had no qualms attacking her when she was possessed by the vengeful spirits of Corand, although he did show her more restraint by not punching her in the face, which he claimed to be an act of kindness as she was a girl, and was more than willing to fight and beat her until she regained herself until Gowther stepped in. He also light-heartedly mentioned how he was impressed to see Diane admit he was the strongest, and seems to have no qualms reprimanding her and King for acting romantic while about to fight the Demons. Nevertheless, as he was about to die, Escanor congratulated Diane for her impending marriage to King and sincerely wished she would find happiness while Diane was visibly saddened to the point of crying, and she also showed a strong reaction as his body started to smoulder, showing that they do have a strong bond with one another.
