Capcom's Pragmata Dev Team Used a Women-Led 'Diana Police' Group to Keep Child Character Diana's Cuteness Natural

During a recent Pragmata development livestream, Capcom developers revealed they formed a small internal group of women called the 'Diana Police' to oversee the portrayal of the game's child character Diana. The group's purpose was to ensure Diana's cuteness remained natural and childlike rather than 'cunning' or contrived. Developers noted that women were better positioned to detect when a female character's cuteness crossed into calculated or manipulative territory.
