Diane Cruz (born 1989) is a supporting character in Tales from the Tuckerverse, though she occasionally appears in other series. Diane is the primarily right mid-fielder for the Lady Raptors soccer team at Decker State College.

BiographyEdit

Diane was born in Las Vegas, Nevada, the first child in the family to be born since they immigrated to the US from Mexico. Diane's family were big fans of soccer thus she started playing at the age of six in a local youth league. By high school Diane was playing soccer for the school team, impressing many with her athleticism in spite of being somewhat overweight. Diane had become a lover of food as well as history and for a while considered trying to become a chef, but ultimately after finishing secondary school she decided to study history at college. With her finances limited Diane managed to get into Decker State College out in Malibu.

Diane managed to make friends quickly, befriending Tess Vole almost right away and the pair both managing to join the Lady Raptors soccer team as members of the B-squad. Diane's Greek and Roman history courses also ended up needing her to find a tutor, which led to her becoming friends with Tucker Holmes. Within the team Diane was known for being a bit over-dramatic and paranoid, being a fan of horror movies. Diane was with the B-squad when their bus broke down outside of Stillsville and, in her fear, ended up being one of the most sensible of the group, not that it helped her avoid being frozen by the Stillsville Camera. After the incident Diane was among those that knew that Kat Vaughn and Julie Vaughn had secretly kept the camera and used it to keep the A-squad from competing int he big tournament.

The next year at DSC Diane proved to continue to be a strong player, not scoring often but good on support. Whenever it was suggested the camera be used Diane was typically in favour of it, but when Diane King was harrassing them she was against freezing her for a long period of time, thinking there were better solutions.
