In response to Wings of the Winds' question, I think there are two different answ ers depending on whether you look at the anime adaption of Diva or the manga one. Of course, this is only my interpretation/thoughts of said character and not fact. Please bear with my poor use of english, it's not my native language

In the anime, Diva comes of as nothing but a little girl who doesn't understand adult situations (as seen in Solomon's failed attempt to make her mate with Riku and her obnoxiousness towards Saya's hatred of her) and it makes sense, just as others in this forum has excellently pointed out, that she would relate to other immature individuals. like Charles. I also believe she likes to be liked be someone who isn't superiour to her.

In the anime, I think the answer is more complex. The main reason, though, is envy, In the end of the anime, it's revealed that Diva envied Saya all along. She wanted to be loved as Saya had been. This is evident throughout the anime, but not as obvious as in the end. I think she was after Riku,not because of his age, but because he was Sayas family who loved her. Remember how she mentioned Grigori right after she killed Riku. "I know why you enjoy killing chevaliers" or something she said after she killed him. Also remember how she took and interest in Kai, shortly after Solomon betrayed her? Kai was human at this point, so no blood connection can be used to justify Diva's sudden interest, my belief is that she's playing a vicious tit-for-tat game with Saya, aka. you take my "loved" ones, I take yours!"

another explanation is that she wanted to mate with Riku,  but why didn't she take interst in Haji then, he's the only around she could mate with for centuries? I think envy/loneliness was the main factor behind her actions, not mating desire.
