Character
Profile:
Princess Diana, born in Paradise Island, also known as Themyscira, located
somewhere in the oceans of the West. Her mother is Hippolyte, Queen of the
Amazons, and leader of a race born from the souls of slayed women saved
by five Goddesses of Olympus (Athena, Artemis, Aphrodite, Hestia, and
Demeter). Diana was born from a statue of clay made by Hippolyte and
imbued with the gift of life by Gaea. The other five Goddesses gave
Princess Diana all her special gifts. She was raised on Themyscira and
never went out of the island. In 1941 Steve Trevor crashes on the
shores of the island and the Amazons decide one of them was needed to be
sent as and Ambassador to the Man's World. A special contest is held on the
island to choose the best skilled Amazon, and in spite of her Mother,
Diana enters the contest disguised and emerges triumphant. This way she
gains the mantle of Wonder Woman. She's endowed with special superpowers
and magic elements like her lasso of truth forged from the girdle of Gaea,
her bullet-deflecting bracelets and her invisible plane. Under her secret
identity of Diana Prince, she is alert when danger calls and then she
becomes Wonder Woman. Eventually she resigns her superpowers and battles
crime as a plain-clothed superagent Diana Prince. Nevertheless she
recovers her powers and continues her battle against crime. Eventually
Hippolyte had the vision of the death of Wonder Woman. To avoid the death
of her daughter Diana, she declares she has failed in her task, she
decides a new contest should be made to choose a new Wonder Woman. Artemis
wins the contest and Diana lost the mantle of Wonder Woman. Nevertheless
she is killed by Neron and raised as Diana, the Goddess of
Truth by the Olympian Gods. After this, Hippolyte takes her place as
Wonder Woman. She travels back in time to the 40s and joins the Justice
Society of America. Later thanks to Zeus help, Diana gets back to her
mortal form and assumes Wonder Woman's identity again. Then from time to
time Hippolyte joins the Justice Society of America. |
