♡ ◞ background.
being a grayson came with maintaining a standard of perfection in every way. even though she was the youngest-born of six grayson siblings, dianna was of no exception to that rule. as the chief executive officer of grayson oil conglomerate, the grayson family patriarch robert always ensured that their surname and family image remained clean of any scandals.
but being the youngest grayson also meant that there was little room for dianna's own achievements to be acknowledged. dianna craved more than just approving looks and the occasional smiles from her parents when told about their excellent grades in school. it was never enough, especially since all her other siblings seemed to thrive effortlessly as well. dianna came to the conclusion that the only way to get their parents' attention was to start acting out.
dianna's rebellious acts started out small at first, and they were brushed aside most of the time and handled privately when they came. when she was sent to the principal's office after a class fight, her parents agreed that it was only because of a quarrel with a friend that could be settled easily. when their grades started slipping, their mother only advised her to do better the next time. dianna's frustration only grew throughout the years, and as they became older and more unruly, her father took her aside and told her to start behaving like a grayson or he would make her stop ... permanently. and in that moment, something in dianna snapped.
robert was livid when the headlines broke out with photos of dianna, aged sixteen, kissing multiple girls and boys in a nightclub. there were also reports of her smoking in the alley behind the club with her other underaged friends. gone was the squeaky clean image of the grayson family, and dianna felt a sense of triumph at the amount of damage control her father had to do because of her. she didn't stop, not even when she was sent to a boarding school in switzerland as a way to tame her wild behaviour, far away from the eyes of the press. they'd gotten their parent's attention — and that was all they needed.
two years at an expensive boarding school did not discipline her one bit. dianna only managed to scrape through to graduation with subpar grades and close friends by her side. coming back to new york, she knew that every gaze was on her, waiting for her to wild out again. the tension between them and their parents were still palpable, but they felt little guilt on what had happened years prior. and though dianna no longer craved her parents' attention, her defiant behaviour had become a habit and her name was once again the subject of a new scandal every other week. dianna was now known as the wild child — the anomaly of the otherwise polished grayson family. with this reputation, it cemented the contentious relationship they had with their parents.
having spent their whole life trying to prove a point, dianna didn't have much idea on what she wanted to do. all her siblings had achieved excellency by establishing careers in various fields by the time they were in their early twenties, and dianna, ever the black sheep of her family, was still out partying every night. they'd always been told they had a face and personality for the screen, but she'd never thought she'd be able to make a career out of it — until they got the offer to star in the first season of the reality show the big apple, a show centered around the lives of young socialites in new york and the drama that surrounded them.
due to their loud personality and frivolous nature, dianna received polarized reactions from viewers during the show's first season premiere. nevertheless, the show was a massive hit and the stars of the big apple were catapulted into fame. dianna suddenly found herself having various job opportunities she didn't have before — and though their future was uncertain, dianna was content with where their career was heading. as per her contract, dianna was asked to return if the big apple became a success, and the second season is currently in production.
♡ ◞ personality + headcanons.
has the personality of a reality tv star down to a T. her confidence is what attracted the showrunners to cast her in the first place. bold, carefree and talkative, her energy will light up a room. definitely an extrovert.
the personification of IDGAF — at least, about what the public and tabloids say about them — a stark contrast to the grayson family's core values, who always prioritized their public image.
determined to prove a point. can absolutely achieve something if she puts her mind to it.
not really book smart — a bit of an airhead academically. stopped paying attention in school early on as they didn't see the point of getting good grades when no one cared about them.
as stated above, she is super childish. holds grudges, kinda petty, impulsive at times, is an attention seeker and very, very vain.
can't cook for shit. if she says she's going to cook, pls call the fire department immediately. their attempts make for great tv, though.
their wardrobe is mostly black, with the occasional hues of soft pastel colors.
a constant wip, so more will be added in the future <3
♡ ◞ wanted connections.
anything and everything really, but off the top of my head: best friend, friends with benefits, rivals, flirtationship, reality show co-stars, annoyed at first sight, fake friends, good influence on dianna, bad influence on y/m, party friends !
also, someone bring her siblings PLS PLS PLS !!!
