History

A Gunpla customized by Sana during her activities with the Soukai Academy Gunpla Club. It was her Gunpla of choice at the time that Rindo Kuzunoha quit the club, taking most of its members with her, and leaving the club's very survival in doubt.

Dianthus saw action in Gunpla battles as Sana tried to hold the Gunpla Club together, chiefly providing support to Touma Aizen's Kaiser Buster and the initial kitbashes of her talented new recruit, whom she met by chance at a Gunpla Guerrilla Battle tournament. Together at the Gunpla Guerrilla Battle tournament they would win the powerful Gundam Artemis which, despite practicing with it, Sana found difficult to control. After Sana attempted to use the Artemis as a secret weapon in the finals of the Interhigh Preliminary Tournament's team division, causing the Soukai team to take an early loss, she decided to stick with her Dianthus and passed the Artemis on to the club's new recruit.

When Touma's dream of becoming a pro-fighter to support his family sparked a rivalry with Sana's recruit, he quit the Soukai Gunpla club after receiving an offer to transfer schools in his pursuit of sponsorship. Sana patched things up with Rindo, as did Touma behind the scenes, and several former Gunpla club members rejoined in time for the inter-high tournament. Together, Artemis, Dianthus, and Rindo's Enzian made it to the finals over several challenging rival schools to meet Touma's new school, Gokusode High, in the finals, though Touma was not competing in the team division. An underhanded rules change disqualification tactic from Gokusode High's coach, Okada, sidelined Rindo's Enzian for having sponsor branding, but the Artemis and Dianthus still managed to carry the team to victory.

After the tournament, Rindo took the team on a Gunpla training camp at a beachside resort owned by one of her sponsors. By this time, Sana was developing feelings for the club's star fighter, and worrying that her combat skills weren't keeping up with her teammates. Though reluctant, she wanted to move beyond the Dianthus to build a new, original Gunpla which better fit her personality. A building contest would be held at a Beach Hut near the resort, but when Sana arrived the only model kit they had left in stock was a Mobile Kapool, which Sana would customize into the Sanakapool.
