"We protect each other." Being a witch places them on an equal footing versus a vampire and a human woman, especially following a mid-season reveal concerning the extent of Diana's powers. "You don't protect me," she defiantly informs Matthew, in response to his frenzied desire to keep her safe.

Her discovery draws vampire and biochemist, Matthew Clairmont, to her, and their relationship develops during the events of the book.
