=== Abilities ===
: "You will train her harder than any Amazon before her. Five times harder, ten times harder. Until she is better than even you."
: ―Hippolyta to Antiope[src]
* Master combatant: Wonder Woman, having been trained in combat tactics by Menalippe and Antiope, is a tremendously skilled, fierce, and formidable hand-to-hand combatant (being at least on par with Batman), . She is a master of a vast array of unique Amazon martial arts, as well as an expert in most types of melee weapons (though she most frequently uses her bracelets, lasso, sword, and even shield). She has centuries of combat experience, with her claiming to have fought and defeated several beings from "other worlds" (which includes even the fearsome God of War Ares himself). Her fighting style includes Taekwondo, Capoeira, Muay Thai and Greek wrestling combined with her skills with swords, archery and throwing . Wonder Woman swiftly became the greatest warrior of Themyscira, her tremendous combat skills eventually becoming enough to rival even those of her mentor Antiope and ultimately surpassing her upon acquiring full potential, due to the latter (upon Hippolyta's insistence) training her much harder than any Amazon ever before her. Hence, Wonder Woman defeated many World War I soldiers (she defeated and killed even the enhanced General Ludendorff relatively quickly), and numerous Parademons single-handedly, seamlessly incorporating hand-to-hand combat, sword-fighting with the God Killer (and later with the Sword of Athena), and the Lasso of Hestia in her own personalized, formidable style. Indeed, Wonder Woman's tremendous skill and exceptionally versatile style make her capable of effectively holding her own against either more experienced or more powerful opponents, even the mighty God of War Ares (albeit only with considerable effort and initial failure, given his superior combat experience, and her need to use a non-violent mindset), even with her sword having been destroyed by the more powerful Old God, the New God Steppenwolf, an enraged resurrected Superman, (being the only one in the Justice League who was actually able to land any meaningful hits on the Kryptonian and making him fight with more effort, though she was ultimately swiftly defeated by the amnesiac Superman and only saved by Lois Lane's timely intervention), and the gigantic Doomsday, with her managing to temporarily knock the latter fearsome monster down (by smashing his feet from under him with her shield), and even temporarily restrain him with her Lasso of Hestia, as well as cut off his right arm with the Sword of Athena. Indeed, had Doomsday not had his incredibly adaptable healing factor, it is safe to assume that Wonder Woman's tremendous combat skills would have allowed her to ultimately defeat him. Moreover, even when Wonder Woman's sword was destroyed by Ares, she still held her own against the more powerful Old God.
** Master armed combatant: Wonderwoman is extremely skilled in the use of many weapons, such as her sword, her shield, and her lasso.
*** Sword mastery: Wonder Woman is an extremely skilled swordswoman, with centuries of experience wielding her magical God Killer sword (and later the Sword of Athena) in many battles, including those of World War I. Thus, she managed to slash at enemy soldiers with her sword even while racing past on horseback, to instantly slice apart in mid-air a car hurled at her by Doomsday with the Sword of Athena, to later do the same to massive piece of debris hurled at her by resurrected Superman, and to sever one of Doomsday's arms during her battle with the monster, delivering wounds that would have otherwise been lethal, had it not been for the monster's incredible healing factor and adaptive evolution.
*** Lasso mastery: Wonder Woman is extremely skilled at wielding her unbreakable Lasso of Hestia both offensively and defensively, notably using it to stop an escaping German spy, to take down numerous German soldiers in World War I battles, to retrain a British terrorist leader, to restrain and defeat General Ludendorff, to hold her own against Ares after getting her sword destroyed, to restrain a resurrected Superman (albeit unsuccessfully), and to even restrain Doomsday himself. Diana is precise enough with her lasso to catch a bullet and redirect it, as seen in 1984.
*** Shield mastery: Wonder Woman is extremely skilled at using a her shield in combat. Shi is also skilled at throwing it with enormous presicion.
* Master markswoman: Wonder Woman, despite hardly ever using a bow and arrows in combat, is nonetheless highly skilled at utilizing them, having received elite archery training from her aunt Antiope. She is also proficient at throwing her tiara and her shield with great presicion.
* Master acrobat: As an Amazon, Diana is an extremely skilled acrobat, thanks to her superhuman agility. She can incorporate acrobatic moves into her fighting style with ease. Her incredible agility allows her to perform acrobatic feats that are impossible for a human.
: "You know, I paid millions of dollars for this building's security.""You got your money's worth. Took me almost a minute to disable it."
: ―Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince[src]
* Stealth mastery: Wonder Woman is exceptionally stealthy, as she was able to quickly sneak away from Chief and Charlie to General Ludendorff's gala, and later to steal the hacking device that Bruce Wayne had plugged into the LexCorp Industries servers and leave it in his car, without getting caught on either occasion. Later, Wonder Woman noticed Cyborg spying on her and Batman from a distance. Shortly thereafter, along with Batman and Cyborg, she was able to swiftly slip away when Commissioner Gordon turned away for a moment, and even Flash was left incredulous at how he didn't notice his teammates leave, despite having superhuman reflexes and standing right beside them. Wonder Woman even managed to enter the highly-secure Batcave itself on her own, impressing Batman.
: "Diana Prince, cultural anthropology and archaeology."
: ―Diana Prince to Barbara Ann Minerva[src]
* Genius-level intellect: Wonder Woman is extremely intelligent, wise, well-read, perceptive, and sophisticated, primarily due to her tremendously long immortal lifespan, natural fluency in all human languages (even dead ones, like Latin, Ancient Greek, Sumerian, and Ottoman Turkish), her having read many books even while still on Themyscira, and her century of living in "Man's World" after World War I, all of which makes Wonder Woman the wisest and most emotionally intelligent member of the Justice League, despite her having initially been naïve, headstrong, and idealistic at the time of leaving Themyscira with Steve Trevor. As such, Wonder Woman has no issues blending in with the high-class society of "Man's World." She held her own while verbally sparring with Batman (with the extremely experienced vigilante having trouble discerning her identity), was the first to realize that Doomsday's adaptive healing factor was energy-based, and was the only one on supergenius Lex Luthor's metahuman list to figure out that Lex was keeping tabs on her and had obtained a compromising photo of her with Steve Trevor (possibly due to her having been once been fooled by another deceitful supervillain, Ares). She also displays a keen understanding of technology and biomechatronics, shown when Wonder Woman uses the Batcomputer, remarks on Cyborg's Mother Box enhancements, and when she deduced that resurrecting Superman with a Mother Box might produce a monster like Doomsday. Wonder Woman's intellectual genius extends itself to her combat, perceptiveness, stealth, arcane lore, and antiquities dealing skills.
** Expert antiquities dealer: Wonder Woman, while in her guise as the human Diana Prince, is an extremely experienced genius antiquities dealer, with Diana's immortal life and natural fluency in all human languages allowing her to accumulate an immense amount of knowledge on the subject, though (being an Amazon with Old God heritage) she seems to specialize most in ancient Greco-Roman antiques. Hence, Diana works as Curator for the Department of Antiquities at the extremely prestigious Louvre Museum in France, and she is held in very high esteem by the curator of the Gotham City Museum of Antiquities. She was swiftly able to tell that the museum's exhibit of Alexander the Great's sword was a fake, knowing exactly where the actual sword was and impressing Batman himself.
** Arcane lore expert: Wonder Woman possesses vast amount of knowledge and skill in wielding mystical artifacts and arcane lore, notably her Sword of Athena and Lasso of Hestia. Her encyclopedic knowledge was demonstrated when Wonder Woman reacted in dismay to Lex Luthor's speech (knowing how he had twisted the Old Gods' history concerning Zeus and Prometheus), when she instantly identified a Parademon in Commissioner Gordon's sketch, and when she explained the history behind Steppenwolf and the 3 Mother Boxes to the remainder of the Justice League.
** Expert social intuit: Diana has a high degree of social confidence (having had a century of experience living in "Man's World" after World War I), allowing her to intuitively determine how to interact with others, gain their respect and get her point across with calmness, eloquence, and charisma. Hence, Diana swiftly befriended the Wonder Men, she diplomatically greeted Bruce Wayne, matter-of-factly showing him that she can intellectually keep up with him (calmly responding to Bruce's anger at having been stolen from by her), she tactfully accepted a wine glass from the Gotham City Museum of Antiquities curator (despite seemingly disliking alcoholic beverages), she tactfully avoided correcting the curator on his claim that the fake replica of Alexander the Great's sword was the actual relic, and only when Lex Luthor insulted her father Zeus' memory did Diana have a look of visible dismay on her face (but even then she avoided making a scene), and only when Batman insulted her beloved Steve Trevor's memory did she finally lose her temper and shove Batman back. As a result, Diana remains extremely well-respected at the Louvre Museum, by fellow antique museum curators, by the Justice League, and even the extremely experienced Batman is almost instantly intrigued by her.
** Master equestrian: Wonder Woman is an accomplished horseback rider, shown during her involvement in World War I battles.
** Omnilingualism: Like all Amazons, Wonder Woman has the inerent ability to fluently speak, read, and understand all human languages (including dead ones, which allows her to surpass even a polyglot like Sameer), as well as to instinctively identify a language's name when seeing its written form (doing so when seeing Dr. Poison's notes on hydrogen-based mustard gas). Wonder Woman has so far been known to speak or read English (albeit with a mild Middle Eastern accent), French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Mandarin, Chinese, Sumerian, Ancient Greek, Ottoman Turkish, Blackfoot, Latin, and Arabic, thus making her the most polyglottic member of the Justice League.
* Indomitable will: Wonder Woman has tremendous determination and strength of will. She refuses to ever give up, even when placed against seemingly insurmountable odds. Hence, despite the Germans invading Themyscira having far superior firepower, despite the extreme danger of German firepower in-between World War I trenches, despite having to fight the stronger and seemingly unstoppable Doomsday, despite having to battle the mighty Ares right after witnessing Steve Trevor's death, Wonder Woman promptly rose up, overcame her negative emotions, and kept on fighting, persisting until she eventually managed to gain the upper hand. Indeed, her indomitable spirit gave a renewed hope to the Wonder Men and inspired them past the point of purely monetary interests, with Chief resolving to no longer be neutral in the war and believing her story of the Old Gods, Sameer finally admitting his passion for acting, and even the depressed Charlie struggling with PTSD finally beginning to sing again for the first time in years. When humanity's inherent potential for evil was revealed to her by Ares, Wonder Woman, while initially taken aback, ultimately rejected the prospect of alliance with Ares against them, even if that were to mean missing out on "paradise" on Earth, and instead courageously confronted him as the god killer. When seemingly beaten by Ares (who was only growing more powerful from her violence, rage, and hatred) and overcome by the weight of his words and the devastation of Steve's death, Wonder Woman recalled his great love for and undying belief in her, and was thereby able to muster enough willpower and love to overcome her violent emotions and defeat Ares. While mostly stepping away from superheroism for 100 years (emotionally crippled at her inability to save the Belgian villagers and Steve, and by seeing the ensuing "century of horrors"), Wonder Woman didn't entirely lose hope, and it was fully reignited again when she witnessed the self-sacrificing death of another selfless superhero, Superman (who combined the phenomenal godly might of Ares with the self-sacrificing morality of Steve Trevor), giving her enough faith to help Batman found the Justice League. During the League's battle against Steppenwolf's forces, Wonder Woman was able to inspire confidence into the inexperienced Flash and Cyborg, assuring them that they wouldn't need to fight the Apokoliptan invasion alone.
== Personality ==
: "They do not deserve your protection!""It's not about deserve. It's about what you believe. And I believe in love."
: ―Ares and Diana[src]
Diana is a very kind, loving, compassionate, and strong-willed person, who, while initially somewhat naïve, has become all the wiser through her time in Man's World. An outspoken egalitarian, she fights for what she believes in and generally for the betterment of mankind through love and mutual understanding, as taught to her by her mother and fellow Amazons. Growing up, Diana also proved herself 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 is quite stubborn; if she believes something is the right thing to do, then she will do it - as evidenced by her attempt to leave Themyscira without her mother's permission and insistence in attending Ludendorff's gala despite Steve telling her not to. Alongside her kindness and compassion, however, Diana was also a very naïve idealist when she first arrived in "Man's World," blindly believing that all men were corrupted by Ares and that the World War I Central Powers would simply abandon their sinister ways if she killed him. This blind naivety also translated to explicit indignation whenever she was treated with disrespect due to her status as a woman, such as when she was ignored by members of the War Office. Alongside this, Diana also voiced her opinions rather bluntly upon her arrival, such as when she perceived Etta Candy's job as Steve Trevor's secretary to be akin to slavery (which earns Diana Etta's admiration). Despite her outspokenness and behavior in Man's World, however, Diana remained very caring and compassionate, as demonstrated by her initially rocky relationship with Charlie and willingness to step into No Man's Land to save the village of Veld while encouraging him with compassion to sing for them
By the end of the war, Diana began to lose faith in both humanity and herself after Ares opened her eyes to humanity's potential for evil. While she still believed in the power of love and compassion to change humanity for the better despite their flaws because of Steve’s declaration of love to her that showed her that, Diana was left sobered and emotionally broken over certain events from the war, such as the use of Doctor Poison's gas to massacre the entire village of Veld, and Steve Trevor's self-sacrificing death however she was inspired by his love & selfless act that shows her that humanity is indeed worth protecting despite their imperfections so she vows to do because she is unable to fully stop caring for and protecting humanity by keeping innocent people safe as a mysterious female savior while also continued to fight and kill other malicious beings from other worlds and did everything in her power to prevent Max Lord's apocalyptic agenda. In spite of her sophisticated line of work, Diana was clearly an introvert at heart with few friends. This did not mean she was closed off from human connection, however, as she and Barbara Maxwell bonded rather quickly. When she saw what the power of the wishing relic was almost ready to do to the entire world, she made the ultimate sacrifice by heavyheartedly revoking her wish to be reunited with Trevor — ironically, the Amazonian who had still had belief in humanity despite their imperfections was the very first to revoke her wish, having done so purely out of selflessness. Upon witnessing the destruction of the seemingly unstoppable Doomsday, Diana joined to battle him alongside Batman and Superman. After witnessing Superman's sacrifice to stop the monster, and after Bruce's appeal to her underlying belief in the inherent good of humanity even though she understands the complexities of human nature because humanity is both good and bad by sending her the original photograph of her and the Wonder Men & sends Bruce a thankful email of him bringing him back Steve Trevor even if she accepted the truth that Steve is gone thirty yrs ago since she can’t have it all even though he’s a memory to Diana so she’s inspired to come out of the shadows demonstrating despite how much humanity had failed or she understands that humanity is flawed but worth protecting despite being a mysterious female savior over the yrs, she still held underlying belief in her own core values and the positive effect true heroes can have on the world.
While living in "Man's World" for a century following World War I tempered some of Diana's more blindly held beliefs, she still held true to her core values of kindness and compassion, and further grew into an exceptionally considerate, diplomatic, and empathetic woman. fully understanding the complexities of human nature. This can be seen when she silently emphasizes with Lois Lane after the death of Superman had been killed (recalling her own pain with Steve Trevor) smiling knowingly when Aquaman accidentally sat on the Lasso of Hestia and confessed his fears about their upcoming mission and how attractive he found her. With all of her experiences, Diana is also the most diplomatic member of the Justice League, as evidenced by her treatment of the Flash with compassion and patience, despite his tendency to somewhat annoy her and the other Justice Leaguers with his humorous attitude, and the kindness and support she showed to Cyborg while he continued to grapple with his powers. Indeed, through her compassion and unbreakable spirit, Diana has given renewed hope to many of her teammates throughout the years. For example, she motivated and inspired the Wonder Men into looking past purely monetary interests, with Chief resolving to no longer be neutral in the war, Sameer finally admitting his passion for acting, and even the depressed Charlie struggling with PTSD finally beginning to sing again for the first time in years. Likewise, during the Justice League's battle against Steppenwolf's forces, Wonder Woman was able to inspire confidence in the inexperienced Flash and Cyborg, assuring them that they wouldn't need to fight the Apokoliptian invasion alone. Furthermore, she was the most understanding of Superman's confusion upon his resurrection and remained ambivalent about fighting the newly-resurrected Superman and even implored him not to force her to, showing him compassion and persistence while attempting to get him to remember who he is (even calling him by his birth name). In addition to her general willingness for empathy, however, Diana is also extremely friendly and can step back enjoy the smaller moments in life, as seen in her utter delight in experiencing ice cream and agreement with Superman (who, up until this point she had not spoken to much) about him not missing out on the positive results of their victory over Steppenwolf.
Even alongside all of her kindness, compassion, and empathy, Diana is still also a warrior at heart, and when someone she cares about is hurt, becomes far more relentless and ruthless. When seemingly beaten by Ares (who was only growing more powerful from her violence, rage, and hatred), and after having to watch her beloved Steve Trevor die, she flew into an agonizing rage, and she assaulted and brutalized several armed German soldiers with immense speed and ferocity. She even came close to murdering Doctor Poison as vengeance for Steve's death; but after recalling Steve's great love for an undying belief in her and her beliefs, restrained herself and refocused her energies on Ares, harnessing her love for Trevor to overcome her violent emotions and swiftly overpower an angered Ares. Additionally, she resolved to fight even harder after Steppenwolf revealed that he had killed several other Amazons. Outside of battle, however, Diana can also react indigently and negatively towards people who disrespect her, her relatives, or those she cares about. Two such notable instances were when she shot an angry look at Lex Luthor (after he insulted her father Zeus's memory), and when she furiously shoved Batman back (after he had insulted her beloved Steve Trevor's memory). Diana also remains ruthless when facing enemies in battle as Wonder Woman, and she even shows signs of enjoying a good battle when they put up a good fight. This was seen when she briefly smiled and laughed when she was beaten to the ground by Doomsday, and smirked as she stopped the first bullet fired at a group of hostages in London.
Still, Diana ultimately had a very strong regard for life and compassion for her enemies, choosing not to drown Cheetah or wish Max Lord out of existence, knowing that ending the conflict without committing murder would be far more difficult. Additionally, she only killed Ares and made more than one attempt on the life of Steppenwolf because it was clear to her that both of them were sentient beings of pure malevolence with no genuine love for anybody.
Perhaps due to her Amazon background, Diana greatly respects other noble selfless warriors, as evidenced when she attended Superman's funeral in Smallville and spoke of how he had been much more than a soldier (adding to what Batman said about Metropolis burying an empty casket). As a result of her great posthumous respect, she was, therefore, more than willing to aid Batman in honoring the heroic death of Superman, by helping round up the metahumans from Lex Luthor's files to form a team of superheroes (later known as the Justice League) to protect the world from the imminent mysterious alien invader Steppenwolf and his Parademon minions after Superman's death left the world vulnerable.
In addition, Diana appears to hold members of her close family in high esteem. In addition to the respect she has for her mother, Hippolyta, and aunt Antiope, she indicated that she held her father Zeus in the same very high esteem, when she was visibly angered when Lex Luthor referred to him distastefully while discussing the story of the Titan Prometheus.

: "I used to want to save the world. To end war and bring peace to mankind. But then I glimpsed the darkness that lives within their light and learned that inside every one of them, there will always be both. A choice each must make for themselves. Something no hero will ever defeat. And now I know that only love can truly save the world. So, I stay, I fight, and I give, for the world I know can be. This is my mission now. Forever."
: ―Diana Prince[src]
Diana of Themyscira is an Amazon warrior princess and one of the world's first superheroes, known as Wonder Woman. She is the daughter of Queen Hippolyta and Zeus, the king of the Old Gods, as well as a member and co-founder of the Justice League.
Born on Themyscira, Diana was raised in a land of paradise, hearing tales of the Amazons’ great task of defeating the corrupt God of War, Ares, ushering in a new era of peace to the world. Upon coming of age, Diana began pursuing the life of a warrior, despite her mother's objections. Determined to serve, she ultimately enticed her aunt Antiope to train her in secret. This, however, was soon discovered by her mother. Begrudgingly, the queen accepted Diana as a warrior, and ordered Antiope to train her better than any other Amazon.
Following a training session, Diana happened to come across Captain Steve Trevor during his escape from the Imperial German Army in the ongoing Great War. A battle soon followed, as the Germans tracked Trevor to Themyscira, where they invaded in pursuit of Doctor Poison's notes. The loss of Antiope and subsequent 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. In the following days, Diana soon uncovered Ares, who exposed her to be the God Killer, having been originally conceived to be 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 and the loss of her other friends sometime after 1918 had left Diana broken-hearted & isolated but she vowed to protect humanity whenever she was needed due to her very compassionate nature over the years in the shadows as a mysterious female savior which people are curious about on who she is. She also gained more knowledge on the world and she changed residence over the years to keep herself guarded while landing jobs at museums like the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C.
In 1984, she came into conflict with entrepreneur Maxwell Lord and former friend Barbara Minerva all while reuniting with Steve to prevent a possible nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union after Max used the Dreamstone for his own means which caused global chaos and instability in the process. She successfully did so after she convinced Max and the people of the world to renounce their wishes to undo the chaos that was created.
In modern times, Diana operates as the curator of the Louvre Museum as Diana Prince. Two years following the Black Zero Event, Diana came into conflict with billionaire supergenius Lex Luthor, who discovered a photograph of Diana and the Wonder Men during his search for metahumans. During her pursuit of Luthor, Diana crossed paths with Bruce Wayne, who discovered her secret after their confrontation during his search for the White Portuguese. Later, along with the photograph on Luthor's files Bruce sent her, Diana discovered the evidence of metahumans in the world. With her mission fulfilled, Diana prepared to depart back to London, but the emergence of the monstrous Doomsday led Diana to ally herself with Superman and Batman to take down the monster in a fierce battle that ended with the tragic death of Superman. Afterwards, in the wake of Clark's funeral, Diana and Bruce decided to create a team to battle any future threats to the world.
As the world mourned for the Man of Steel, Diana combatted the rise of radicals who saw Superman's death as an omen and capitalized on the world's vulnerability. Shortly after the team assembled, Wonder Woman assisted in helping a newly resurrected Superman regain his memories. With the team now fully assembled, Wonder Woman contributed to the successful offensive against Steppenwolf, forcing the alien invasion into retreat. Afterwards, she began to plan for the Justice League's future alongside Bruce Wayne.
In early 2021, she along with the Justice League would be gathered by Amanda Waller to get involved on the "Project Butterfly" operation, however, the League arrived in the immediate aftermath of the battle, with a frustrated Peacemaker reprimanding her and the rest of the team for their incompetence. Eventually, Diana was forced to stop an army of retrobots finding herself with the heroine known as Wonderous Serena in the process, as well with Serena Williams and an alternate version of herself, with whom she would join forces to detain the responsible of the invasion, Doctor Cyber. Knowing Billy Batson's sacrifice to save the world, Diana went to his tomb on Mount Olympus to restore the Staff of the Gods's power and revive him. Diana later aided Batman and Flash in stopping Al Falcone and his crew after they robbed a hospital.

: "Gert was right, I was the perfect church girl. I never did anything disobedient or different or what I wanted. But now that I know I'm, like, a total freak, maybe I'm free to be who I really am. And to be honest about who I want to be with."
: ―Karolina Dean to Nico Minoru[src]
Initially, Karolina publicly appeared as a kind, smiley and optimistic figure, which her mother Leslie Dean frequently used in order to welcome new adepts into the Church of Gibborim. Deep down, however, Karolina was struggling with her mother's strict expectations. She was interested in what other people like Destiny Gonzalez felt when going against their family's expectations and was eager to break away from her role of the perfect daughter to explore her sense of identity and pursue her own desires, especially regarding her homosexuality and her feelings towards Nico Minoru. Despite Karolina sometimes disagreeing with her mother, she had a hard time accepting that Leslie was a criminal and was utterly shocked when this was confirmed.
When she discovered her powers, Dean was firstly afraid of them, due to not knowing their origin and fearing that it could be related to PRIDE's illegal activities. She feared that her friends would consider her a freak if she revealed it to them, but ultimately decided to trust Chase Stein and tell him about it. As he reacted positively, Dean did not hesitate to publicly use her powers against Darius Davis, with her friends once again expressing amazement. Later, Minoru reassured Dean about her abilities, telling her that it did not change the person she was. Dean thus had the desire to learn more about her powers, which led her to secretly meet with her biological father, Jonah. In the end, she became very skilled in using her powers to the right extent, for example using them to manipulate the Church of Gibborim residents at the Crater to let her go.
Dean is a very compassionate person with the ability to forgive others. She was the only one, beside Molly Hernandez, to be ready to accept Topher in the Hostel as she believed that the Runaways could not refuse to a homeless teenager wat they had looked for as well. She was also the person who expressed the most trust and gratitude towards Alex Wilder as he struggled to find money and material for the Runaways to survive in the street, whereas the others were questioning his loyalty and suspected him to be a PRIDE mole. Dean also displayed incredible levels of bravery and sense of self-sacrifice. When the Runaways were confronted by Jonah during the Infiltration into the PRIDE Construction Site, she did not hesitate to tell her friends to leave to safety while she remained behind to fight PRIDE on her own, leading to her capture. On a more romantic note, she also found the courage to confess her feelings to Minoru, which enabled her to start a relationship with her friend.

: "I asked him to be honest with you from the beginning. There should be no secrets in a family."
: ―Frigga to Loki[src]
Frigga is a benevolent, kind-hearted, fair and wise person. Frigga was beloved by all her family and all people of Asgard. Frigga loved equally both her biological son Thor and her adoptive son Loki. Even though she is a very wise ruler, her kind heart can occasionally get in the way of certain punishments given to her sons. The prime example of this was when she attempted to convince Odin to end Thor's banishment from Asgard, despite knowing the gravity of Thor's crimes and the war that would ensue because of it. When Odin asked Frigga what she would've done, she states she wouldn't have had the heart to banish Thor. Odin calls her out on this, saying that while he grieves as well, he knew was the necessary action and he is king because he can make these difficult decisions. Frigga similarly continued to show Loki great care and sympathy even after his numerous crimes on Earth and would visit him in his dungeon cell through Magic and give him gifts of books and food to keep him comfortable. Frigga was possibly the person closest to Loki as he genuinely loved and cared about his adoptive mother. Frigga was first to notice the large shadows Loki's adopted father and adopted brother casted on him, so she decided to share her skills of Magic with him as a hope that she would grant him something unique and special for himself. Frigga trained Loki in magic and encouraged him by telling him that he could do anything, showing just how kind-hearted and considerate she was for her adopted son.
Frigga had a great sense of compassion for all of those around her and was very empathetic and considerate to her sons. Unlike her husband, Frigga was ready to forgive Loki, even after his deeds, and had hope for Thor despite his actions as well. She also was willing to accept Thor's relationships with Jane Foster. Frigga was highly polite, friendly and sympathetic. She was shown to be good friends with Jane, even though she was only human and a majority of the other Asgardians disapproved of the relationship. Frigga also showed a great care for her husband, Odin, as she watched over him during his Odinsleep and refused to leave his side. When the Frost Giants came to Asgard and attempted to kill her husband, she herself defended him by striking an incoming Frost Giant down that was approaching his chambers. Frigga even told Odin to take care of himself during the Sacking of Asgard and Odin teased her by noting how she still expressed care and worry over him in battle despite how much he had survived. Frigga's relationship with her biological son Thor was close as well, as upon meeting a future version of her son she accepted him immediately and wasn't at all fooled by Thor's feeble lies. Frigga comforted Thor over his depression and shared one last tender moment with him, but she refused to hear any warnings about her fate, showing her acceptance and bravery in regards to dealing with her grim future.
In contrast to her kind-hearted nature, Frigga was quite brave, strong-willed and noble, since she was brave enough to stand against Malekith, the leader of Dark Elves, by herself. She was even ready to sacrifice herself to help her family and friends. Her sacrifice was very important, as it made Loki to stop temporarily his rivalry with Thor and help him and impacted him severely. Loki was filled with a vengeance over her death, as seen by the state of his prison room after learning of her death, and he sought great vengeance for her with the help of uniting with his brother, Thor. Frigga's care for her kingdom and people as well as her compassion for her family led her to noble sacrifice which encouraged and inspired her sons within their care and love for her to put aside their differences in successfully avenging her death.
== Powers and Abilities ==
=== Powers ===
* Asgardian Physiology: As an Asgardian, Frigga possessed all of the various superhuman attributes common among her people, including superhuman strength, durability, speed, agility, stamina, reflexes, healing, and was extremely long-lived. However, as the queen of Asgard, her superhuman attributes were considerably higher than most Asgardians.
** Superhuman Strength: Frigga possessed great superhuman strength, similar to all Asgardians; however, her strength exceeds almost all of the population. She was able to overpower Malekith, the leader of the Dark Elves, with fairly ease.
** Superhuman Durability: Frigga's body was more resistant to physical and energy damage. She easily survived a punch by the Frost Giant King, Laufey. However, the sword of Kurse was no match for her.
** Superhuman Speed: Like all Asgardians, Frigga could run and move at great superhuman speed.
** Superhuman Agility: Frigga naturally possessed great agility, flexibility, and body coordination. She was able to use various spin moves to give Malekith a challenging opponent.

** Transmutation: According to Loki, Frigga was capable of turning a flower into a frog. She taught Loki this trick which he used to turn Thor into a frog.
** Illusion Manipulation: Frigga was able to cast extremely convincing illusions of other beings, especially herself. She was able to send a projection of herself to the Asgardian Dungeons, used the ability to speak to Loki in his cell, and tricked Malekith with a fake projection of Jane Foster. According to Loki, she had showed him how to create a firework illusion.
=== Abilities ===
* Genius-Level Intellect: Frigga was a very intelligent Asgardian, especially in the ways of Magic. She had proudly taught Loki everything he knew about magic and illusions. This knowledge helped Loki become the God of Mischief.
* Expert Combatant: Frigga was a highly skilled and formidable hand-to-hand combatant. She killed a Frost Giant with ease; although more of her skill was prevalent during the attack on Asgard. Most notably, when confronted by Malekith, Frigga single-handedly defeated him wielding a short sword in reverse grip, and could have killed him had Kurse not intervened. Ironically, shortly before this, Malekith stated to her that he had survived much worse, which proved to be a testament to Frigga's skill.
* Sword Mastery: Frigga was highly skilled at using a sword in combat, being able to use it to protect her husband Odin from Laufey and the Frost Giants, as well as when Malekith and the Dark Elves attacked Asgard. During her fight against Malekith, she was able to use it to easily disarm his sword and gain the upper hand, even almost kill him had Kurse not intervened. However, Kurse managed to grab the sword from Frigga and used it to kill her by stabbing her in the back.
* Bilingualism: Frigga was fluent in her native Asgardian, as well as English.
: "He kept the truth from you, so that you would never feel different. You are our son, Loki. And we your family."
: ―Frigga to Loki[src]
Frigga was the Queen of Asgard and wife of Odin, mother of Thor, and adoptive mother of Loki. She attempted to keep the peace between the family even when Loki discovered he was the true son of Laufey and became vengeful towards her and her husband.
When Thor brought Jane Foster to Asgard to protect her from the powers of the Aether, Frigga took care of her and defended her against the attacking Dark Elves, even sacrificing her life at the hands of Malekith to ensure her safety. Frigga's death allowed Loki, whom she had always cared for, to reconsider his life choices and join with his brother to avenge her death, although her death was not enough to change Loki's desire to rule.

: "Do you ever regret sharing your magic with him?""No. You and your father cast large shadows. I had hoped that by sharing my gifts with Loki that he could find some sun for himself.""I admire your optimism."
: ―Thor and Frigga[src]
Frigga was compassionate and nurturing to her son, Thor, and Loki, the son of Laufey whom Odin had brought with him from Jotunheim after the war with the Frost Giants and whom the couple had adopted. She raised both boys with love and warmth, appearing to be a good and wise queen. Aware that Loki felt overshadowed by his father and brother's physical prowess, Frigga trained him in magic, believing that this would give her adoptive son his own ground to stand on next to his brother. She would show him tricks such as turning a flower into a frog or casting fireworks over the water, telling Loki that he could do these things too one day because he could do anything.
Frigga would tell Thor and Loki the story of the Dark Elves when they were children. Frigga also joined her family in traveling to Norway on Earth. The Norse, revering them as deities, named days of the week after Thor and Frigga, which became known as Thursday and Friday.

== Magical abilities and skills ==
As a unicorn, Bracken had great magical potential, and he proved himself to be extremely powerful. Though he for a long time was in possession of none of his horns, he still retained some significant abilities, such as reading minds, enchanting objects, and, to some level, eradicating poison. His powers and abilities increased if he was in possession of any of his horns, at their peak if he had all three.
* Combat skills: Bracken was exceptionally skilled in using a sword and shield, even without his horns. When protecting the Eternal Mark, Bracken managed to handle two assailants simultaneously, killing both. Later, while protecting another Eternal, Civia, he slew dozens of minotaurs, almost effortlessly, using his second horn. He also dispatched the Gray Assassin and the wizard Mirav. During the Battle of Zzyzx, he displayed his skill at fighting further when challenging the demon horde.
: "For ages, you astrids served as the honor guard for my family. This regiment had a name. Would any of our human companions care to guess what they were called? The Knights of the Dawn. The same name taken by the brotherhood that stands in opposition to the Society of the Evening Star. I believe this name is no accident. I believe this name makes reference to this moment. No star can abide the light of the dawn, nor has evil ever loved light. After their long incarceration in darkness, let our enemies come against us with the sunrise at our backs!"

=== Romances ===
==== Kendra Sorenson ====
: "By the way, Bracken clearly has strong feelings for Kendra. Sometimes it doesn't take a mind reader."
: —Vanessa Santoro, regarding Bracken and Kendra Sorenson's relationship[src]
:
Kendra Sorenson seemed to essentially be the love of Bracken's life. Though not officially a couple, Bracken displayed his love for Kendra on several occasions. At first, he was drawn to Kendra because of the bright light that radiated from her, a result of her being fairykind, but soon grew to respect and admire her courage and determination to save her family. They continually look out for one another, and Bracken became very protective of Kendra.
Hints of Kendra's feelings for Bracken became apparent as early as when they visited the sealed shrine at Living Mirage, where she became slightly envious of the relationship between Bracken and the Fairy Queen, at the time not knowing that the Fairy Queen is his mother. Bracken presumably also relayed his feelings to Kendra at Cape Hatteras waiting for the Lady Luck. Seth Sorenson also described them as being "pretty cuddly" aboard the ship. After the Battle of Zzyzx, the two met up by the Fablehaven fairy shrine, where Bracken confessed that he felt drawn to Kendra, and she admitted similar feelings. Raxtus also mentioned that Bracken had been talking about Kendra a lot.
When they first met, in the Living Mirage dungeon, Kendra was very skeptical of Bracken's legitimacy. At first, she firmly believed that he was a spy sent in by the Sphinx, though later on in their discussion she began to entertain the possibility of Bracken being legitimate. When they later confronted Warren in Bracken's cell, she stated that she trusted Bracken "a little." After they reached the sealed shrine and the Fairy Queen vouched for Bracken, Kendra essentially cleared him of suspicion. During the following hunt for the Eternals, Kendra gradually became more attached to Bracken. When the lectoblix Torina Barker tried and failed to drain Bracken's life force, Kendra was visibly terrified, hugging him fiercely until realizing he was alright.
During the Battle of Zzyzx, when Bracken was badly injured while fighting Gorgrog, Kendra's attachment to him was reinforced as she picked up the sword Vasilis, which flared to life in her grasp, partly drawing upon her desperation of aiding Bracken. Her emotions towards Bracken were a big reason for what enabled her to slay the Demon King. After the battle, when Bracken agreed to join his mother in the fairy realm, Kendra described feeling a heavy weight on her heart, fearing she wouldn't see him again.
: "Watching her with eyes that made her feel like the only real thing in the universe, Bracken took her hand."
: —Bracken, while bringing Kendra Sorenson to the fairy realm[src]
:
When Bracken brought Kendra to the newly established fairy realm, he acted very protective of Kendra when the astrids Denwin and Peredor relayed that the demon Jubaya had expressed interest in conferring with her. Bracken also entrusted his first horn to Kendra when she talked to Jubaya as a precaution. Later, as Kendra and Seth were being recruited as caretakers of Wyrmroost, Bracken appeared "unusually somber," most likely being worried about her. It was also apparent that he was very sorry that he couldn't accompany and assist them at the dragon sanctuary.
: "And she suspected he might have romantic feelings for her. But despite her best efforts to crack his shell, he kept his distance. She was still hoping for a first kiss!"
: —Kendra Sorenson, about Bracken[src]
:
After she learned that Bracken had been captured, Kendra was devastated. At even the mention of Bracken, she became very emotional, barely able to hold back tears. When Ronodin expressed interest in acquiring Bracken's first horn, which he'd lent to Kendra before being captured, she refused to agree to any bargain out of fear it could harm him. She said that she "would rather die" than giving Ronodin an opportunity to further harm Bracken. Later, when Kendra visited Risenmay, she showed the great fairy Bracken's horn, which Risenmay considered a sure sign of Bracken's love for Kendra.
When the Fairy Queen entrusted her crown to Kendra at the Crescent Lagoon fairy shrine to invade the Under Realm, a big part of what convinced her of going through with it was the prospect of possibly rescuing Bracken. As she was invading the Under Realm, thinking of Bracken helped intensify and widen the radius of the light emanating from the Fairy Queen's crown.
When the Fairy Queen refused to let Bracken accompany Kendra to Titan Valley before he helped her in the fairy realm, Bracken appeared very frustrated and concerned at the prospect of not being able to help Kendra at the sanctuary. Additionally, when Kendra met Ronodin at Terastios, he referred to her as Bracken's girlfriend, stating that Bracken had "never taken any girl to meet his parents," and that he "has it bad" for her. at the end of Dragonwatch Bracken becomes a mortal and Kendra and Bracken kiss for the first time.
