Diane creates this persona of a shut off, emotionless person that it becomes her as she grows.

Only Chance
-All Adelphia wanted in her life was to have a mother who cared, sisters who pitied, and someone to love. Unfortunately, life in the empire isn't what it all was meant to be. Crazy queens, scary princes, and a betrayal are all hidden in this book, woven intricately into the power of words.- (DISCLAIMER: THIS IS ONLY PART ONE OF THE STORY!!) Expert: Once upon a time, there was a young woman, lost, wandering. Once upon a time, there was a girl who couldn't find her way into the world, the way that was correct for her. Once upon a time, the young lady put restrictions on herself and blocked away her past, slipping into the present, and racing towards the future. Until. Until, indeed, the past, her memories, caught back up to her like a snake, slithering, and hissing. And this time, it won't be so easy to escape, was the message in the snake's beady, midnight-black eyes, in the snake's nasal, spine-chilling hisses.Complete

When you tell a story over and over and over again enough times, details become warped. The finer points of the true meanings are lost between the lines. Just like the story of Ajatri Hope, whose story we most commonly know as, "The Jungle Book." One day, just like all the other people of her world, she found herself trapped in a place where her happy ending was stolen from her. A place where her family, her memories, and even her own true identity were stripped away. Our world. This is her story. "There's only one thing strong enough to bring back what you desire. Only one cure for your loss." "I don't know what that is!" "Come now, don't you know what magic is powerful enough to restore anything?" "You twisted bastard." "True love, dearie. Isn't that the Hook in everyone's story?" Once Upon A Time [TV] Season 1 Season 2 Season 3 Season 4 Season 5 Season 6 Season 7 --- Disclaimers: I do not own Once Upon A Time, it's characters or plot.
