I thought she was referring to how the characters did or might react to certain situations and what those reactions reflect about the characters. That’s why I responded that Adalind’s reaction to Diana referring to Kelly as her other mommy depended on timing, specifically, her relationship with Nick.
As we both said, the writers had Diana behave however a scene required. They didn’t identify who Diana was referring to when asking Kenneth and Juliette “Where’s my mommy” because the scene wasn’t about Diana’s relationship with Kelly or Adalind. It was about Kelly’s death, the Royals getting Diana, and Juliette’s involvement. The scenes after Kelly’s death would have played out the same had Diana not uttered a single word.
That said, I tend to agree with syscrash that Kelly and Diana didn’t have a maternal bond. The only reference I recall to Kelly being a mother to Diana prior to S6, was Nick saying early S4 that his mother was getting a second chance, but we don’t have a clue how Kelly and Diana actually interacted. We do know Diana only drew pictures of Adalind while at the safe house, not Kelly and not even Renard, and, she didn’t show any understanding of familial bonds when arriving at the BC house.
I also agree with syscrash that Diana being taken from Renard’s house in S6 expressed how he viewed Diana as a powerful being/weapon at his personal disposal compared to Adalind having a mother/daughter relationship with Diana, and her powers something Adalind wanted to protect her from rather utilize.
