— Diana invoking her power against Black John
| ||
Diana Meade is a protagonist of the Secret Circle series. She is one of the three leaders of the Circle, as well as Cassie's best friend and surrogate older sister. She is portrayed as the polar-opposite of her first cousin, Faye: her beauty is light and ethereal while Faye's is dark and intimidating, and while she believes that magic should only be used for good, Faye has no qualms with abusing magic for personal gain.
Diana is the only child of Charles Meade and Mary Meade. Diana was also the long-time girlfriend of Adam Conant, but once she found out that Cassie and Adam were soul-mates, she ended their relationship so that he could be with Cassie, and gave them her blessing.
