Diaz is a major character of the We Bare Bears franchise, being a supporting character in the 2015 Cartoon Network original series of the same name, and its 2020 series finale film adaption, We Bare Bears: The Movie.
Like her fellow Poppy Rangers, Diaz is a brave and adventurous little girl scout/troop and park ranger who has a close friendship with Ranger Tabes and the bears, more especially Grizzly. Diaz shows high commitment to her aforementioned fellow Poppy Rangers, but Diaz is described as more curious and entertaining, meaning that she is prone to asking too much questions and/or dwells in seeking for truth, but has a high sense of humor. Additionally, Diaz is also the most intelligent, selfless and rational of the Poppy Rangers. Outside of her career as a park ranger like Ranger Tabes, Diaz is typically seen casually playing with the other Poppy Rangers and having fun, more especially by having tissue and pillow fights and/or flying kites with the other Poppy Rangers, demonstrated in Hurricane Hal.
Diaz is voiced by Marissa Soto.
Physical appearance[]
Diaz is a young girl with short-to-average height (being the shortest member of the Poppy Rangers after Wallace), and has a brown skin complexion and curly, shoulder-length black hair held back by a Reseda-proportioned green headband that matches her uniform colors. She typically wears her "Poppy Ranger" uniform, which consists of a light-moss green, short-sleeved shirt, overlaid with a yellow bandanna around the collar with a single olive stripe across the middle. As well, this includes green-toned khaki shorts, tennis shoes of the same color, and tube socks underneath. Over-top the entire outfit is a dark green sash.
In the annual Peewee Ranger Games, Diaz's "Peewee Ranger Games" uniform consists of an orange shirt with the number "three" on it, along with wearing red shorts that features vertical and thin orange lines at both sides, white sleeves and having an orange cap. Additionally, Diaz's socks are white and have orange stripes on top of them, and Diaz has eye blacks on her left eye. Meanwhile, Diaz's Reseda-proportioned headband is colored red.
Upon turning primal and psychotic from too much starvation, Diaz's "Poppy Ranger" uniform is tattered, with her yellow bandanna around the collar and dark green sash missing. Diaz's hair looks decrepit and has a leaf on the top right, and she is virtually barefoot.
Personality[]
Like her fellow Poppy Rangers, Diaz is shown to be a kindhearted, affable, selfless, harmonizing, brave, and adventurous, yet genius-level intelligent girl, typically listening to their superior Ranger Tabes and Grizz Bear within both of their commands, regardless of the severe danger that awaits from them. Furthermore, Diaz shows high loyalty, especially towards her fellow Poppy Rangers, demonstrated by Diaz working with the Poppy Rangers as an excellent heroic team, saving Wallace from Hurricane Hal and assisting the three bears in defeating Agent Trout, leading to the latter's deserved incarceration.
As she aspires to be a biologist when she grows up, she is well-versed in subjects pertaining to animals and wildlife. She is quick to make observations, even ones that would be hard to point out. Diaz is also described as "curious and witty," meaning that Diaz dwells into pure curiosity and is prone to asking too much questions, and has a high sense of humor, but is also prone to falling for risky assumptions, shown when she reluctantly eats poisoned berries by Grizz, causing her to vomit. Despite this, this also means that Diaz is the smartest and most rational of the Poppy Rangers. Additionally, Diaz is relentlessly curious, shown when Grizz analyses the bats in the Howling Mountain Cave, Diaz asks that if the bats are from Central and South America.
Diaz's valor and commitment to the other Poppies, however, occasionally breaks, demonstrated when the Diaz and the other Poppy Rangers scream in fear and embrace Grizz Bear for safety when thunder strikes, heavily implying that Diaz and the Poppy Rangers have pure fear of thunderstorms, such as the Hurricane Hal. Additionally, in the episode, Lord of the Poppies, as Grizz's incompetence hits the last straw of Diaz's patience, she, alongside the other Poppy Rangers, eventually succumb to hunger and insanity, to the point that she decides to devour Grizz and turn against him, which references how Panda Bear and Ice Bear became primal animals in the episode, Primal, with Diaz even taking the first action in attempting to devour Grizz by biting onto his leg.
Not only that, Diaz seems to crave deeply for leadership, which is what her fellow Poppy Rangers are also after, demonstrated when Grizz accidentally causes the Poppy Rangers to begin a "Ranger War," turning against and fighting each other for the guidebook, which Wallace stole from Grizz upon kidnapping and entrapping him to cook him for food, which is due to Grizz's "shoulder angels."
Along with the Ranger War, Diaz is also shown to be somewhat lethal, like the other Poppy Rangers, shown when she and the Poppy Rangers were about to eat Grizz out of appetite before Tabes shows up with pizza, despite being initially reluctant about it, but this was due to Grizz's incompetence.
Moreover on the Ranger War, though, Diaz went as far as spraying bug spray at Murphy and Nguyen while brutally fighting against one another for the guidebook during the Ranger War (even though it was only purposed for fending off bugs as suggested), and was the one to initiate the Ranger War by lunging onto Wallace to steal the guidebook.
History[]
Prior to the events of We Bare Bears, Diaz was a simple school student and had developed a pure friendship and bond upon her first interaction with the other Poppy Rangers (Wallace, Parker, Murphy and Nguyen), and throughout the early timeline of her childhood, Diaz was raised by her unidentified parents and she spent most of her early childhood hanging out and playing with the other Poppies, as well as flying kites and exploring, along with participating in the annual Peewee Ranger Games to defeat their arch-rival counterparts, the Ivy Rangers, the Poppies' bullies. Diaz aspires to be a biologist as she is purely experienced and sophisticated in analyzing animals and life on Earth.
Upon first meeting Dana Tabes, Diaz immediately saw Tabes as a mother-like figure and has shown high commitment towards her, and has relentlessly put her best efforts to attain all of the Poppy Badges possible from Ranger Tabes by succeeding several missions and objectives. Years after Diaz was dedicated to working with Ranger Tabes to attain badges, she was officialized as a Poppy Ranger, along with Wallace, Parker, Murphy and Nguyen, before the Poppies meet Grizz and his brothers.

Trivia[]
- Like the other Poppy Rangers, Diaz has never had an interaction with Panda Bear and Ice Bear, but would still show an affable and kindhearted disposition towards them nonetheless if she did interact with them.
- Diaz is described as "curious and witty" in her character portrait. As such, Diaz is seen as the smartest and most rational of the Poppy Rangers.
- Diaz's genius-level intelligent personality is equivalent to Blossom's genius-level intelligence in Powerpuff Girls.
- Diaz asking Grizz that if the bats she and the Poppies spot in the Howling Mountain Cave during the episode, Poppy Rangers, are from Central and South America references the realistic Bats from South America and from Central America, but also references Diaz and the other Poppies being Americans as well.
- Diaz and Panda Bear are the only characters in the We Bare Bears series to vomit at certain moments, with Diaz vomiting from eating the wrong berries from Grizz in Lord of the Poppies.
- Diaz is the first character in Marissa Soto's voice actress career list.
- Diaz is the second character in the entire series after Chloe Park to have genius-level intelligence, despite both characters being young children.
- Ironically, Diaz's voice actress, Marissa Soto, has a Latina skin complexion, while Diaz comes from a Latina ethnicity. To further contribute this, "Latina" defines a woman or girl who was born/lives in South America, Central America, or Mexico. Moreover, Diaz asking Grizz that if the bats come from Central and South America while exploring the Howling Mountain Cave references that both Diaz and her voice actress, Marissa Soto, are involved with Latina.
