Gena Lorrie Hardin was born into a life of privilege and wealth. Her parents were very wealthy. She never had to want anything in her life. Her parents loved her, even after she came out of the closet. When it was discovered that Gena was gifted with a beautiful singing voice, her parents sent her to the finest schools and hired the most talented instructors and tutors. Gena’s parents never missed any of her concerts, except for one.
That one time they missed one of her concerts was the last time Gena would ever see her parents alive ever again. As it turned out, her father had learned that one of his employees was helping to finance a notorious crime syndicate, the Gear Head Gang. Instead of turning a blind eye to this discovery, Gena’s father turned him into the FBI, even though it would provide the Hardin Family with additional wealth. That was something he wanted his daughter to learn: that you should do the right thing, even if the wrong thing would benefit you.
The Gear Head Gang was not happy about this. They made an example of Gena’s parents by blowing them up with a car bomb. That day was supposed to be the happiest day of Gena’s life as she sung at her college graduation. Gena cried for days, refusing to eat or sleep. The Gear Head Gang decided to kill her as well. However, the anguish and sadness somehow triggered something in her. When the Gear Head Gang’s hired thugs tried to attack her, she struck back: with her hair! Like tentacles, she used her hair to unleash her anger and sadness on the criminals.
After she recovered from her rage, she was shocked and shaken by her newfound powers. After she calmed down, Gena realized that this was actually a good thing. She had always liked music, and people adored music stars. She figured that she could use her music, wealth, and powers to help power. Her father and mother had always enjoyed helping people, whether it was funding research for a cure for AIDS, donating money to help rebuild the homes of hurricane or earthquake victims, or sponsoring food drives to feed countless starving children around the world, so why shouldn’t she? Gena created a superhero identity, going by the name of Diva, international superhero superstar!
That is correct. Diva was inspired by none other than White Howler's Headshot. I wanted to create a non-technology character, and I was looking around here for ideas, and when I read White Howler's Headshot build, I felt inspired. I mean no disrespect to White Howler in anyway, and to be honest, I plan to create a few other characters inspired by her characters. Thus, this character and the others are in a way a tribute to White Howler and her memory. May she rest in peace. Diva is the leader of the Songbird Girls, a superhero group inspired by White Howler's Glamour Girls. I used ideas from Guilty Gear's Millia Rage for Diva as well.
. I like the characters, and it made me go through some of the other threads (like White Howler's, which I think I haven't read since she died four years ago).
