Wonder Woman

Diana, also known by the moniker of Wonder Woman, was the Princess of Themyscira, an Amazon warrior, and a founding member of the Avengers. She was the daughter of Queen Hippolyta and Zeus, king of the Olympians. Born on Themyscira during ancient times, Diana was raised in paradise, hearing tales of the Amazons' great task of defeating the corrupt God of War, Ares, and bringing peace to the world. Upon coming of age, Diana began pursuing the life of a warrior despite her mother's rejections. Determined to serve, she ultimately enticed her aunt Antiope to train her in secret, although this was eventually discovered by Hippolyta. Begrudgingly, the queen accepted Diana as a warrior, and ordered Antiope to train her better than any other Amazon.
After a training session, Diana happened to come across Captain Steve Trevor during his escape from the Imperial German Army. A battle soon followed when the Germans tracked Trevor to Themyscira, where they invaded in pursuit of Doctor Poison's notes. The loss of her aunt and realization of Mankind's downfall during the absence of the Amazons convinced Diana to join the war effort, recognizing Ares as the instigator of the conflict. Diana soon uncovered Ares, who exposed her to be the God Killer, having been originally conceived as the ultimate weapon against her brother. Following this revelation, a fierce battle ensued, where Diana fulfilled her purpose in freeing mankind from Ares' influence. The loss of Steve in World War I had left Diana sobered, but she vowed to protect humanity whenever she was needed, albeit in a cautious and distant way.
==Personality and traits==
As a child, Diana was headstrong and determined to do what she wanted, such as training in hand-to-hand combat under her aunt Antiope's tutelage despite her mother initially forbidding it. In this way she was also quite stubborn; if she believed something was the right thing to do, then she would do it. This also left her a very naive idealist, as when she first arrived in "Man's World" she blindly believed that World War I and the evil nature of mankind was solely due to the influence of Ares. Diana's naivety also translated to explicit indignation whenever she was treated with disrespect due to her status as a woman. She was also very blunt in voicing her opinions upon her arrival.
Despite her previously rash and stubborn behavior throughout her childhood, Diana was also a very kind, loving, compassionate, and strong-willed individual. As taught to her by her mother and fellow Amazons, she fights for what she believes in and generally for the betterment of mankind through love and mutual understanding. However, while still retaining her core values she ended up stepping away from heroism and hid herself from the world after World War I, having been shown by Ares about humanity's capacity for evil. Even so Diana was still unable to fully prevent herself from protecting humanity―though she did so almost exclusively from the shadows―even going as far as attempting to track down the Tesseract following Red Skull's acquisition of it.
A warrior at heart, Diana can sometimes be relentless and ruthless when in battle, particularly when those she cares about are hurt or put in danger, such as when she went on a violent rampage after the death of Steve Trevor. Her core values of love and compassion, however, are able to help her overcome such bursts of fury.
As a result of the intense training she received due to her Amazon background, Diana carries a great respect for other noble and gifted warriors, particularly those who have shown genuine selflessness and care for protecting the ones they fight for. In addition to her close family, including her late father, Zeus, Diana also holds the god Odin in very high esteem. Though her opinion of the Asgardian prince, Thor, was not terrific at first, she readily acknowledged and admired his change of character after he was deemed truly worthy to wield Mjølnir. Diana's respect for heroic figures was not limited to gods either as she also thought highly of others like Kal-El or Jarik Shan, along with each and every Avenger.
==Powers and abilities==
Born as the hybrid offspring of an Amazon and an Olympian god, Diana possessed incredible superhuman abilities. A demigoddess in her own right, Diana held powers that could rival even that of the Asgardian Prince, Thor. By clashing her bracelets together she could generate spherical blasts of divine energy capable of throwing down powerful beings like Ares, and absorb energy from powerful attacks directed at her. As the daughter of Zeus she carried some control over lightning, able to redirect tremendous bolts back at Ares with enough power to kill him, and could interact and even manipulate naturally generated lightning bolts without harm. In addition, Diana was also knowledgable on the use of magic to some degree, enabling her to cast spells that render objects the size of an aircraft invisible.
Due to her physiology as a demigoddess, Diana possessed superhuman strength and durability. She was capable of lifting an entire German tank in World War I without effort, and could demolish entire buildings with a single blow. Although she was still susceptible to injury from sharpened objects with enough force behind them, Diana's skin, muscles, and bones were much denser than those of humans and her follow Amazons, enabling her to withstand a lot of punishment from blunt force, explosions, and energy blasts: she also possessed a considerable regenerative healing factor. Alongside her strength and toughness, Diana also had very quick reflexes and agility, able to perceive the movement of a bullet so as to deflect it, and possessed greater stamina and enhanced senses in comparison to the average human.
In addition to her powers and natural abilities, Diana was a tremendously skilled combatant. Having spent over a millennia under the tutelage of her aunt, Antiope, swiftly became the greatest warrior of Themyscira, and even across the Nine Realms was regarded as one of its most skilled and formidable fighters. her tremendous combat skills eventually becoming enough to rival and ultimately surpass Antiope upon acquiring her full potential. She mastered a wide-array of unique martial arts and techniques in hand-to-hand combat and was highly skilled with every type of melee weapon, though her usual preference when in battle was with a sword and shield. She was also unrivaled in wielding her unbreakable lasso, the Lasso of Hestia, in both offensive and defensive combat.
