He is a really kind youngster who spreads happiness everywhere he goes. He brings his family's tranquilly while battling hopelessness and doom. Diamond continually patches up a hole in the loft wall (which doubles as his bedroom) one night as he tries to get some rest. He quickly learns, though, that doing this prevents the North Wind from seeing through her window. She makes friends with Diamond, and North Wind let him to soar with her so they may go on various adventures. Though the North Wind conducts wonderful actions and helps people, she sometimes does seemingly dreadful things. She needs to sink a ship as part of one of her duties.
