Diva State No. 11 (Co Captain)
Diva State Diva State, born Carol Anne Phaffner of Sheboygan, New Jersey, she began skating at the age of 2. By the age of 5, her skates never left her feet. Every pediatrician on the eastern seaboard recommended a liberal prescription of Ritalin but her mother steadfastly refused! Diva’s hyperactivity coupled with her obsession with skating made her a highly accomplished skater by the time she hit her teen years.

In Diva’s late teens she was discovered by a man that went only by the name of “Q”. He was the current head of Interpol and recruited her into his rank of agents for 2 reasons, he was severely impressed with her natural agility and he wanted to see the sassy redhead in one of the skintight leotards agents wear at night for stealth.

Diva was given the agent code number 00DD (double “0” double “D”) and equipped with a license to kill. Most of her life during those years is still classified information. We can tell you that once while smuggling intelligence information out of China, she did so by skating the length of the Great Wall with the red army in hot pursuit. When she was not on a mission, she spent her time off in Monte Carlo where she parlayed her agent’s salary into a small fortune at the roulette and craps tables of the local casino’s drinking martinis stirred, not shaken. She was able to retire after only 5 years of service with Interpol.

Equipped with all the money she would ever need, Diva turned in her Vera Wang ball gowns and her Tiffany’s diamonds for a helmet and protective knee pads. She moved to the Pacific Northwest and joined the Derby Liberation Front. While she no longer carries a license to kill, she most certainly carries one to maim, pillage and plunder. It’s a license she’s not afraid to use.
