Early life
Diamond was born in Ventura, California.[3] She moved to Scotland when she was about three or four years old and lived there for twenty years.[4] She was raised in Dunfermline where her parents moved as missionaries.[5] Her father is American actor Rodd Christensen, who is known in the UK for playing Spencer in children's series Balamory. She appeared in the series as a child, alongside her only sister, Heather.[1][6]

In 2012, Diamond posed for comic book artist David Mack, who portrayed her as Echo in the Marvel Comics miniseries Daredevil: End of Days.[10] In 2013 she posed for photographer Terry Richardson.[11]
Diamond has also dabbled into the music industry with her 2013 song/music video, "Sex in a Slaughter House".[12]
