Martine Diamond

Martine is Dixie's oldest sister from the Jacqueline Wilson book The Diamond Girls. She is the oldest of the Diamond girls, aged sixteen. Her mother met her father Dave in Year Ten and when Dave got Sue pregnant, he tried to be a father to her, but left because he could not cope. At first, she is reluctant to leave because of being away from her boyfriend, Tony. However, after her sister Sundance is born, she decides to stay. At the end of the book it turns out she is pregnant. She has her mum's thick black hair, but dyes hers blonde, and because her mum wears short skirts, she wears low slung jeans. Martine tries to take care of Sundance, her baby brother (sister), but as there is a secret involved only Dixie knows, mother Sue makes sure to have the baby away from the rest of the family, which sadly is one of the reasons why Martine escapes, although she returns at the end of the book after hearing about Dixie's accident. She decides to keep her baby.
