Name: Bambulina Tozzi-Grant
Age: 51, but looks 24.
Gender: Female
Heart Type: Shining
World Origin: Original.
Appearance
Diana is a very very pale person who is 5 feet 6 inches tall, with her skin also having a slightly gray tone to it (think Raven from Teen Titans), and luckily her body is not decaying, due to her healing factor. Her body is very well toned, being very lean and while having a slightly muscled body. (the benefits of having a mix of swimming, gymnastics and running as your lifestyle). She was born with cat ears, and developed a fully functional cat tail in her teen years. Both her cat ears and tail are beige furred.
Her eyes are naturally red in color, and her hair is still black (despite being dead), but will slowly turn grey or white later on. Her hair is usually kept pretty short or just long enught to reach her shoulders. Despite being born a female, she was born with a fully functional male sex organ. Diana likes to ware colorful clothing or dresses, be it elegant or casual or not too fancy. For shoes, she prefers running shoes of any color.
Personality
Diana is a little annoyed at being dead, and being stuck in the same body, She is still greatly intimidated and upset about the fact that she will exist until eternity. She literally has all the time in the world, something that she still struggles to fully understand and grasp. She still loves to train and work out, and despite being a zombie, she likes doing human things, especially likes to go to concerts and being with friends.
Due to being a Zombie, many others try to avoid her or are afraid of her or freaked out by her, despite being a pretty friendly person. This is hurtful for Diana who tried hard to blend in an just be accepted for who she is. She only fears the loosing of her parents or friends, but is totally unafraid of 'getting killed' again. This includes, being shot, stabbed, falling to her death, being run over, ect. She is not worried about her well being. After her life was cut short, she enjoyed continuing as a business woman/investor, knowing that she will have a lot of time to built her wealth, if she wants to.
Due to already having a not too small business, she has no real desire to get even richer, and rather gives some of her wealth away. Diana feels very honored and takes great pride in competing in multiple Summer Olympic Games, winning a total of 8 Gold metals, with gymnastics, swimming and track, being her sports. While Diana was and still is exeptionally talented sports person, she missed out of years of formal education.
In combat, she also uses a combination of her agility, speed, reaction time, and her own body as either a shield or a weapon, leaping at targets and biting/tearing. Dispite being a really effective fighter in her own right, she actually dislikes violence, preferring to be left in peace.
History
The person who would be known as Diana Grant was born in 1968 in Italy as Bambulina Tozzi-Grant, to pretty wealthy parents. (her mother is a architect and interior designer, who owned a small but well known architectural and interior design firm. Her father is a fairly well known singer/musician and small time real estate investor) Her family moved to the US when Bambulina was 5 years old. As she was born with car ears, her parents figured that she would also grew a cat tail as well.
In the US, Bambulina hardly understand anything at all at first, and had a very hard time fitting in and making herself be understood, and was mostly using gestures to try and communicate. She however started taking an interest to sports at the age of 6. After, she joined a local sports club, she started training to simply work on her speed and to work on her endurance, she was however often made fun or and humiliated and even physically attacked, due to the fact that she was born with a male sex organ. This would cause her a fairy bit of embarresment and humiliation and critisism in her life and afterlife.
She took an interest to non Italian music at the age of 5, when she was taking to her first non Italian concerts. She instantly grew to love it, and would go to a fair number of concerts with her parents, until she would be old enught to go on her own, apart from the concerts of her father. To add to her embarresment, humiliation and occasional bullying, her tail only started growing at the age of 8 and only became fully developed at the age of 12. Years later, when one of her coaches told her that she broke the qualifying time for the Olympics, she did not understand at first, and had a hard time beliveing that was would compete in the Summer Olympic Games.
Bambulina competed in the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in LA. Winning 2 Gold medals in Swimming and Silver medal in Gymnastics. On being endorsed, she was unsure of what to do with the money, and asked her parents to build a smaller brewery for her, and promised to repay them for all the costs.
The smaller brewery opened 6 months later in Los Angeles, already staffed. The 2 brew masters where Germans, having great experience in brewing. The small company was named Olympic Brewing Co. It was her way of thanking the city of Los Angeles for the incredible honor and experience. Apart from the brewing team, her parents also hired very talented sales and marketing people. The sales team, would start to boost the popularity, sales and profit of the brewery. Bambulina was able to repay her parents the next year. The brewery would start her on her pretty profitable and nice sized business.
In 1985, she stayed in Europe for the Summer and attended the Live Aid concert in London. A few days before the concert, Bambulina met two of the performers of the concert, Celine Ryder and Catie Rogers. From the same year Bambulina, would start to go on many other concerts during the rest of her life and unlife. It took a few more months, and several more meets for her to befriend the two other singers, allowing her to also get to meet and make friends with many other singers and musicians. She bought her first cellphone for herself,in 1987, witch she still keeps to this day.
She competed in her second Summer Games in 1988, in Seoul. Again being endorsed by other large companies, her wealth grew even larger. She finally invested her own money into real estate and bought a smaller brewpub in London, and a small office building and a smaller warehouse in NYC. Due to her very sportive life, she was however unable to handle running the real estate business, and hired a general manager, to have the right staff hired and to have the business run smoothly. She would however, assist in different tasks of her brewery, and later on, her other breweries and hotels. Her method of also being the face of her business, was a success, and soon drew in companies to rent her office or warehouse spaces at very high (95%+) percents and for long terms.
Her third Summer Games where in 1992, in Barcelona: winning 1 Gold in Swimming, and 1 Silver in Track. However, a few weeks after the Games ended her life was cut shot after she was attacked and when she faught to protect herself, was stabbed several times. Laying there, bleeding out at the young age of 24, her last thoughts as a human where being with her parents. She however jolted awake hours later. Shocked and horrified at what she has become, she was also extremely confused as to how she was not dead. As it turned out, she did die, by was somehow reanimated. Unknown to her until later, she was reanimated by a very powerful wizard. After a few of her friends and even some business partners broke ties with her, she started calling herself : Dead Girl.
Due to the fact that she did not need sleep and did not get tired, she could devote more time to her business, family and friends and having fun. She also found out that, she did not need to train nearly as much as while she was still human, and would go on to train only 2 or 3 times a week. She enjoyed training, and usually trained 3-4 hours a day. She bought a second cellphone for herself in 1993. As to diversify and also to have a hotel under her name and image, she would by her first 4-star Sup or 5-star hotels in 1995. It was in 1995, when she started going by a new English sounding name: Diana Grant. The hotels that she would own would be the Grant Hotel chain.
Despite a lot of criticism and downright bullying before and during and after, Diana competed in her fourth Summer Olympic Games in 1996, Winning a gold and a silver medal. She would go on to compete in the Games again in 2000 and later in 2012, winning a gold medal in both games. In 2012, Diana started sponsoring other, newer sports youths.
In 2016, at the Olympic Games in Rio, she was sabotaged during the final mile of the marathon, making it the first time that she did not win a Gold medal, but still managed a 5th place, and also a Silver Medal in swimming. The sabotage caused her to loose her faith in nearly all of humanity and stop training at all. This however gave her the change to sort of retire from sports and due to a chance audition, she became the new singer of a little known band that was set to open for Jeff Lynne's ELO in Septembre of that year in the US. After getting good feedback, she would become the opener of the band on select dates, and also become an opening act for Elton John on select dates, and Celine Dion on select dates. She would Open for the Rolling Stones on select dates as well. From Septembre 2019, she had her first shorter solo tour with dates in the US and Europe as well.
