quick rundown on Dianes friend group

Teelah Lampit- gold blood troll girl who seeks to express her psionicly influenced dreams in the form of art, acrylic on canvas is her medium of choice.

Darlene Hodgee- human girl who was adopted by a troll couple and has two younger troll bothers. a poet, she sits at an interesting intersection of having a troll upbringing as a human, for what differences there are.

running link between these friends, they take their art forms seriously and wholeheartedly.

Diane Strider, the middle child of the Strider family. 14 years old in '79.

She's always been into the things that weren't popular. she is into the avant garde and the passe, the stuff that is three years ahead of what's popular, or stuff that hasn't been popular since her parents were young.

Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Glenn Miller, Roy Brown, John Coltrane, Louis Armstrong, and Little Richard being a regular in her rotation, and yet she had her finger on what would become new wave before it truly gripped popular music.

She's always seen with these big round sunglasses, fitting the whole Strider visual language. Ankle length skirts, patterned cardigans, her blonde hair hanging straight down to her mid back. always with the energy of a girl who gives of an air of effortless coolness.

She's always teased Dave about his respect and enjoyment of disco, and snarking about the state of popular music from time to time.
