One character finds the secret diary of another character (almost Always Female because Diaries Are Girly), that contains all their darkest secrets. This is a form of Chekhov's Gun because introducing a secret diary into the show means the audience expects that there will be a plot dedicated to another character finding it and deciding and/or proceeding to read it and/or pass it around their friends, etc. Naturally, the character who owns the diary is furious when they discover this invasion of their privacy. The Annoying Younger Sibling will typically make it their life goal to find and steal the diary and reveal all of the juicy, embarrassing secrets within to everyone the character knows, for the express purpose of humiliation. For whatever reason, a lot of these "secret" diaries tend to be left open on the owner's desk instead of tucked away and locked somewhere, ripe and ready for snooping eyes. These circumstances usually play out in Video Games, where the protagonist can easily access a character's private thoughts in a justified fashion in order to drive the plot or just exist as a juicy Easter Egg. If a character comes across this and the story is kicked into motion, then it's a Plot-Triggering Book. Landline Eavesdropping fulfills a similar narrative role. Compare Intimate Artistry. |

When Tikki points out how dangerous this is, Marinette reveals that she built a box to store it in that's booby-trapped to slam down and trap the hand of anyone that tries to take the diary — which Sabrina finds out the hard way when she tries to steal it on Chloé's orders. | |

The Dukes of Hazzard: "Dear Diary" — From Season 4, Rosco uses his diary to document (surprisingly, very well and down to the last detail) Boss Hogg's criminal activities, and plans to keep it secret between him and Boss. However, two crooks that Boss had double-crossed years earlier learn about the diary, come to Hazzard and steal it, planning to turn Boss in once and for all, forcing Bo and Luke (who have also learned about the diary) to make a tough decision. "Go West, Young Dukes" — From the final season, although the only secrets exposed in this diary are those that clear up what really happened during a land transaction 100 years earlier by the ancestors of the Duke and Hogg families. Only Uncle Jesse knew about the diary beforehand, making the trope a literal interpretation. |

Harry Potter In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Draco Malfoy plans to do this when he finds Tom Riddle's diary among Harry's possessions and mistakenly thinks it's Harry's diary. According to Word of God, the way Riddle's diary uses Ginny is a serious Deconstruction of this trope, foregoing others reading the diary and instead making the diary itself a malevolent entity. J. K. Rowling finds diaries to be "really, really frightening" due to her sister confiding her innermost thoughts to a diary only to worry about people reading. |

Total Drama: In "Not Quite Famous", Heather steals and reads Gwen's diary aloud on national television to humiliate her. While no one stops her, everyone, including Chris and Chef, is disgusted by her action and it plays a major part in the Screaming Gophers losing the talent show. Notwithstanding his earlier disapproval of Gwen's diary being read on camera, Chef has no qualms about reading it himself. In "Are We There Yeti?", he had planned a day of relaxation that among other activities included finishing Gwen's diary, but because the contestants return much earlier than intended, he doesn't get around to it. Heather has experience opening her sisters' diaries with a bobby pin, so she tries to open the vault in "Ocean's Eight - Or Nine" with a bobby pin too. It doesn't work. In "Ice Ice Baby", Scott claims that he read B's diary and that B refers to Lightning as Fizzle. This is all part of his attempt to get B voted off and it's unknown if B even has a diary. |

Robin (1993): Almost all of Stephanie Brown's narration boxes are excerpts from the secret journal she keeps relating to crime-fighting. Amusingly the secret journal that is found and becomes a plot point comes out of nowhere and belongs to Tim Drake (who was never at any point seen or mentioned as keeping one) and reveals Bruce's secret id to his dad. This incredibly dangerous and ill-considered journal containing highly classified information disappears from continuity just as abruptly as it entered and was never mentioned again. | |

In an issue of Generation X, the school is robbed, and Husk's diary is one of the items stolen. Since she often wrote about their adventures, everyone's secret identities were at risk. The thieves were eventually found and convinced to return the stolen items, and thankfully Husk's diary was written off as a bored schoolgirl's overactive imagination. The thieves did enjoy the Purple Prose dedicated to Chamber, however, and one proceeded to read it, embarrassing poor Paige as the Gen X kids died laughing (thankfully Chamber wasn't with them). | |

In the CatDog episode "Curiosity Almost Killed the Cat", Dog starts keeping a diary after Cat (who has one of his own) introduces him to the concept, along with the rule that it's wrong to look in someone else's diary. However, Cat finds himself unable to resist taking a peek, and Dog is understandably upset when he finds out (especially since one of his diary entries called Cat the most trustworthy person he knows). | |

Adrian Mole: As referenced in the title of the first book "The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole", Adrian's diaries are secret. References to secret diaries belonging to Adrian and others are: In Secret Diary, when Adrian is in hospital, he gives his diary to his mother to look after, making her promise (on the dog's life) not to read it. At the beginning of Cappuccino Years, Adrian writes: After ranting about the very existence of elderly people, wishing they would all commit suicide to give the young and able-bodied a break, he writes: A diary belonging to Adrian's barely literate son Glenn is discovered, saying "when I am grown up, I wood like to be my dad". Adrian finds out that Marigold Flowers lied about her pregnancy from her secret diary, in Weapons of Mass Destruction. |

In Twin Peaks, Laura Palmer kept a diary that becomes a MacGuffin in Season Two as multiple characters look for it for clues on who killed her. Harold Smith, her reclusive confident, held some pages, leading to a struggle for possession of them that paints suspicion on him which eventually drives him to suicide. A defictionalized version was published as a book, The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer which provides pseud-canonical insights into events of the series. | |

In the mystery novel The Short Drop, a man finds a copy of The Lord of the Rings that belonged to his close family friend, who has been missing ten years. The margins are completely full of multicolored notes. These turn out to be years' worth of coded messages to the people around her, using their favorite colors to clue them in. The main character and the missing woman's mother eventually decrypt the truth: she disappeared because she was pregnant with her father's baby. | |

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door's sixth chapter, a ghostly Toad asks you to get his diary from the baggage area and threatens you against reading it. The game gives you the option to read the diary anyway, and after asking things like "wait, seriously really?" and "OK, let's think this through for a little bit" you actually can read the first page before the ghost appears and kills you. In the first game, Peach actually can read the secret diary, and indeed she has to in order to advance the plot. It belongs to Bowser. Luigi also has a secret diary in the first game, but it's optional and Luigi never finds out you've been reading it. It's never seen, but in the first villain interlude in Super Paper Mario, Dimentio muses that he thought Mimi's ideal world was "a gem-filled pool with hunky lifeguards". In response, she turns into Bowser and asks if he's been reading her diary. |

Touch (1981): In an early chapter, Tatsuya found Minami's diary. Later Minami accused him of reading her diary. Tatsuya swore that he did not, and it is left ambiguous whether he did or did not. The next day Minami confessed to Tatsuya what it was true what was written in her diary and she is in love with him... Tatsuya got so flustered that she realized that he had NOT read it, so she backpedaled and claimed that she had only written bad things about him. | |

Harvest Moon: In the games A Wonderful Life and Another Wonderful Life, you can read your child's diary where they write about their relationship with you, their career aspirations, etc. In all the Harvest Moon games "writing" in your diary is how you save the game. |

Bounders: Most people keep their diaries online. Addy is one of the few people to keep a paper diary because it's more private. | |

In the ending to the anime version of Tona-Gura!, a pivotal diary that Hatsune gives Kazuki is Kazuki's own forgotten childhood diary which reveals that Yuuji's always been playful; teen hormones now make that playfulness obnoxious and immature, rather than cute. She also sees in it that she herself used to be a great deal more playful, but that she has also not outgrown her childish tendency to want complete control over how things are, especially with Yuuji. This marks a huge turning point. | |

By following hints in Illusion of Gaia, players can find Kara's diary, which the game insists is secret. It's basically just an Easter Egg - there are no penalties or bonuses for reading it. | |

Code Lyoko: "Logbook": It's all made worse by the fact that Ulrich, the diary's writer, mentions XANA and Lyoko. In the same episode, it's revealed that Sissi also has a secret diary. Later repeated with Yumi's diary in "Lost at Sea". And then again with Jérémie's logs in "Echoes". Really, one has to wonder why they keep writing these things down. |
