When discussing Dianna's character design, Kihel also has to be considered. Tomino insisted that they have blonde hair, and Akiman used Reika Ryuuzaki ("Madame Butterfly") from Aim for the Ace! as a model to create his own ideal upper-class lady.
I like the juxtaposition between Misato and Ritsuko. Their back-and-forth is played well, lotsa friendly banter.
Dianna as she appears in Turn A Gundam: Wind of the Moon, a prequel manga written and illustrated by Akiman.
It all culminates with the idea that "Newtype" is nothing but a word, a label that one shouldn't allow themselves to be held prisoner to.
It's a very emotional release in context of the show.
