Diana Meade by Shelley Hennig

Diana Meade is the daughter of Charles Meade and Elizabeth Meade, ex-girlfriend of Adam Conant, and also the female leader of The Circle.

Diana and her group of friends aren't like most kids there age. Diana,Adam, Cassie, Faye, Melissa, and Nick (R.I.P) make up what is known as a circle of witches. The Secret Circle is a powerful coven that consists of at least six witches or more. Although it is known that every witch is born into a circle, The Secret Circle is possibly one of the most powerful covens in existence. Diana and the rest of are descendents of the The Secret Circle. Sixteen years ago, the former members of The Secret Circle, their parents, began to dabble in the dark arts of magic. Along their journey, an "accident" occurred which left majority of the members dead. The only known survivors were Amelia Blake, Charles Meade, Dawn Chamberlain, and Ethan Conant. After the circle was stripped of their powers, Amelia [Cassie's Mother] abandoned her coven by moving to Los Angeles with her unborn baby. Determined to reunite the coven, Charles Meade killed Amelia in order to lure her daughter, Cassie, back to Chance Harbor, Washington so that The Circle could be together once again. 

That is where the story begins. Faye decided that it would be fun to get Cassie to use her powers by setting her car on fire. Little did she know at the time, Cassie had no idea of her powers. Insert worried Diana and Adam and they immediately realize the cause of the fire, and the fact that Cassie knows nothing of the power inside her. After the discovery of Cassie's car accident, Diana confronts Faye Chamberlain and warns her about the dangers of their powers. The following day, Diana introduces Cassie to their coven, and tries to teach her about their families' legacy of witches.

Cassie of course thinks that they are all crazy. Later that night, as Faye conjures a massive thunderstorm, Diana attempts to stop her but is struck by lighting. She then starts trying to encourage the others to join her in binding the circle as it could be dangerous otherwise, keeping the secret that once the circle is bound, members of the circle can only do magic in pairs. The strength of the magic depends on how many members of the circle there are.

As the weeks passed, Diana and Adam's relationship began to falter. Adam's father made it known to Diana that Adam and Cassie's relationship was written in the stars. It was predestined, and it was going to happen. No matter what Diana did that thought kept haunting her. She knew that she would never be the girl he wants. On the night of Nick's wake, Diana went to The Boathouse Bar and Grill and broke up with Adam.
