==Notes & Trivia==
*Leah Bowers voices many of the Amazon warrior NPCs.
*The Themysciran language is a mixture of Ancient Greek and Turkish.
*So long as an Amazon remains on Themyscira, she will not age. Whenever an Amazon leaves Themyscira, however, she will age at the same rate as an average human of relative age. The aging process will retard itself once again upon returning to the island.
*An all-female race, the Amazons are among the finest warriors to ever walk the Earth. However, technologically they remain in the age of Ancient Greece; utilizing and wielding various archaec weapons such as swords, shields and bows and arrows while at the same time wielding familiarity in magical powers.
*The Amazons also don Greecean/Roman armour in battle. The size, colour and decoration of the armour usually denoting rank.
*The WW symbol of Wonder Woman was originally a Greecean/Roman interperatation of the WAFS Women's Auxillary Ferrying Squadron) insignia found on Diana Trevor's jacket.
*While the Amazons pride themselves on being brave and fearless warriors, some consider them hypocrites due to their fleeing from and hiding themselves away from the world. In addition, while they sneer at the patriarchal systems of Man's World and the power imbalance between men and women it results in, their own matriarchal system has created a similar power imbalance, just with women at the top. While their criticisms of the patriarchal mores of Man's World might be justified, their way of life and methods of inaction haven't helped the situation much either and their attitudes are just as elitist as the attitudes they condemn. Having learnt this, Diana endeavors to help her sisters overcome their own hypocrisy in addition to her other tasks.
