We are talking about a character while in the womb had enough cognitive ability to be able to help protect her mother. From then on it is one task after another that is far beyond her physical age. Take getting Mesiner to build the fire. First to realize a fire would keep her warm. Then to figure out how to manipulate Meisner to get the wood. That is not the mental ability of a new born. Lets take when the Royals take Diana from Kelly. What about how Diana dealt with how that went down. It has no resemblance of how a child of her physical age would have handled the situation. The entire time she was indifferent to what was going on. You have the scene where the king is treating her like a child playing with the blocks. Her response was to show she was not a child an built a very detailed structure.
You try and say no one knew Diana's powers. Sean did. Remember when Diana was kidnapped Sean worried until he remembered it was Diana he was worried about, then no worry. Even from Diana point of view. She was threatened what did Diana do. Used her kidnapper as a source of entertainment.
How would Adalind not know Diana's powers. In the warehouse she saw them first hand. She saw everyone was afraid of Diana, yet Diana showed no concern about where she was. Adalind then sew her astro project into the fome. How could you draw a conclusion that Adalind did not know Diana powers when she went to the mansion.
I find peoples positions lack any logical thinking when it comes to magic. Diana like Juliette / Eve have been shown to have powerful magical abilities. Yet people create all these scenarios where these two characters are viewed as being in danger.
Your post about logic seems to lack logic, firstly no one stated she didn’t know Diana had great powers it was just stated that she didn’t realize just how powerful she truly was until she lived with her in the Mansion. Second of all how you personally see Diana has nothing to do with how the actual characters on the show see her. Adalind just see’s her as a very powerful child who needs to be protected and is in very real danger . She evens tells Nick that they have to protect Diana on several ocassions and tells Renard she would never attempted to kill Boneparte knowing what he personally could do to her children including Diana. So you personally may see Diana as a powerful being who can’t be harmed and is in no danger but that’s not how Adalind sees her. Adalinds sees her as just her powerful little girl who she must protect at all costs as she’s in mortal danger.
You also brought up a terrible example to defend your point when you stated that Diana and Eve were similar in that nothing can really posse a true danger to them. when in reality the very person who nearly killed Eve in a fair fight is the very person holding Diana in the Mansion. If Boneparte possed a deadly threat to Eve, he could certainly kill Diana as well if he caught her by surprise, yes Diana is shown to be even more powerful than Eve but she’s not invincible and nothing ever stated she was so Bonaparte simply could have cut her throat if he wished. So yes no matter how powerful she was the Mansion was not a safe place for her.
Below is an example of just one of the times Adalimd stated Diana needed to be protected.
Adalind: We have to protect her.
Nick: I know.
Adalind: I'm so happy to be back here with you.
Nick: Yeah, me too. I thought I was gonna go crazy without you.
Also Renard also didn’t understand just how powerful Diana was at the start of their relationship in season 5 and 6, he often just dismissed her off as a regular child despite several warnings to the contrary by Adalind and even Boneparte. Below are just 3 examples in which both Adalind and Bonaparte had to inform him he was underestimating his daughter.
In 5x20 Adalind literally tells him he’s underestimating Diana.
Adalind: She may be our daughter, but we need to be careful. No one knows how powerful Diana is. No one.
Renard: She's still a little girl.
Adalind: Don't underestimate little girls.
In 5x22 Bonaparte informs him that Diana does in fact have the ability to kill Rachel without leaving the house and Renard is doubtful.
Renard: [He arrives at the mansion] Rachel's dead.
Bonaparte: What are you talking about?
Renard: Suffocated to death in her bed. And it wasn't an accident or something a normal person could do.
Bonaparte: Do we know who did it?
Renard: Someone who didn't like her very much. Where's Adalind?
Bonaparte: She's upstairs. But I don't think Adalind even knew about your relationship with Rachel. And even if she did, she doesn't care enough about you to have done anything about it.
Renard: Well, somebody had the ability to do it.
Bonaparte: It wasn't me.
Renard: Then who?
Bonaparte: I didn't think she was capable at such a young age, but maybe she is.
Renard: Diana?
Bonaparte: She could've perceived Rachel as a threat to her mother and you and her family.
Renard: But Diana hasn't even left the house.
Bonaparte: Would she need to?
In 6x01 idiot Renard intends to discipline his daughter like an oridiary child until Adalind tells him otherwise.
Adalind: What are you gonna do?
Renard: I'm not gonna let Diana control our lives.
Adalind: If Diana made you kill Bonaparte, I'd go a little easy on the discipline.
