Diana is the girl that the slavers originally intend to kidnap. Diana is not wanted by the people in her settlement because she is largely thought of as a witch. When Kin learns that she is considered a witch, he does not seem to put much stock in this. The only people that are actually heard saying anything about this in the book are those that capture Diana. Diana is only seventeen but it is quickly seen that many that know her describe her as a steady, level headed girl. Diana is with her friend when she is taken. It is Diana who is able to keep the girl calm. Diana is not a witch but she realizes that there are many that believe her to be a witch and Diana is willing to use this to her advantage. Diana suggests to the men who have taken her that although they have been allowed to take her, it will not be long before the magic she has used will begin to work on them. This is clearly a bluff but it shows that Diana is able to overcome her fear and use her wits. When one of the men becomes angry and hits Diana, she will be able to remind the man that whomever buys her will be upset if she is badly marked.
