Diana Prince

== Biography ==
=== Background ===
The Amazons of Themyscira were created thousands of years ago, gifted with virtues by the Gods to make them teachers to the men of the world, inspiring them to bring peace. They founded the city-state of Amazonia, somewhere in the Amazon jungle.
However, the men they taught grew violent, and when they responded with violence, the Amazons were disgraced by the Gods. Hippolyta, leader of the Amazons, was exiled to an island known as Paradise Island, where she was set to be the sole guardian of Doom’s Doorway, the path to Hades, as well as the treasure room of the Gods.
Living in exile for centuries, Hippolyta became the master of her own body, and began to learn the mystic secrets of the islands. The Amazon Nubia arrived on the islands after years and told Hippolyta of the fall of Amazonia and of the Amazons themselves, who had been divided and conquered.
Hippolyta convened on Mount Olympus, where the Gods agreed that she could allow the Amazons to live on the Paradise Islands, but she would be required to go in exile to Man’s World. Hippolyta agreed.
After spending years journeying through Man’s World, attempting to spread a message of peace, Zeus appeared to her and told her of the unrest of the Gods, and offered her a return to Paradise Island, to become the chosen Suprema of the Amazons. She wondered who would take her place in Man’s World, and Zeus offered his magic to her to create a daughter.
She returned to the Paradise Islands, where they erected its capital city of Themyscira, and Hippolyta became the Queen. That night she went to the beach and sculpted a child from clay, and Zeus called down his magic upon the beach and Diana was born.
=== Princess of Themyscira ===
Diana was trained by a nation of mothers. She was a gifted warrior from a young age, and it was found that the magic which bore her made her even stronger, more agile, and more perceptive than her peers.
While at first isolating being the only child in the nation, at around aged sixteen, she gained a spiritual sister, the princess Donna of Troy. Around this time, Hippolyta had to leave the Paradise Islands to assist with a Battle of the Gods on Mount Olympus.
Upon Hippolyta’s departure, Ares’ muse, the Amazon sorceress Circe turned on her Amazon sisters. Diana and Donna managed to defeat the sorceress, and she was exiled from the island. For decades, Diana did not see her mother. The Islands were governed by a council of Amazons, led by Diana, Nubia, and others representing the city-states of the islands.
Diana learned the ways of democracy and compromise, becoming a great leader. When her mother eventually returned after her years with the Justice Society of America, Hippolyta decided to adopt the council governing approach her daughter had invented, appointing Diana as one of the representatives.
Decades later, Diana saw a peculiar sight when a plane crashed on the beach of one of the islands where she was training. Diving in after the plane, she found an even stranger sight, a man, whom she pulled from the wreckage and to the beach.
She brought the man to the scientific conservatory in the Mountains, where Orana agreed to hide the man, and healed him with the Purple Healing Ray. Upon awakening, Diana used her Lasso of Truth and forced the man to reveal his secrets to her.
The man identified himself as Steve Trevor and explained that several nations came under attack in the world, while he was flying in his jet plane, he was hit with the aftershock of one such attack and somehow wound up on this island. He begs Diana and Orana to let him return, spying the Invisible Jet, so he can find out what happened to his homeworld.
Diana and Orana hid the man for days, but when Antiope found the crashed jet while on patrol, an investigation ensued, and Diana gave up the man. A meeting was held between the Governing Council, in which it was decided the man had to go, but that he was to be accompanied by an Amazonian agent to discover what happened to Man’s World.
Diana was forbidden from entering the contest, due to her defiance of Hippolyta. But Diana knew she was best for the contest, and so she entered, wearing a mask, and bested her other sisters. Upon removing the masked helm, her mother was outraged. Hippolyta was outvoted by the Governing Council, and Diana departed for Man’s World with Steve Trevor.
On their voyage, a connection formed between Diana and Steve, and she believed she felt love for the man, something not only forbidden, but she believed impossible. After a seven days long journey, they arrived in Man’s World.
=== Agent Diana Prince ===
Steve and Diana made their way to a shell-shocked America. Steve revealed to her he was an Air Force Pilot. Upon trying to enter Washington DC, they found that it was ground zero. Trevor was able to get in contact with his friend, Etta Candy, who brought the two to an interim military base in Gotham City.
Diana was given the debrief on everything and ended up tagged along with Steve and Etta as they attempted to safeguard politicians and military officers in the ensuing confusion. In the months that followed, After being created, Diana, Steve, and Etta were among their first class of agents in ARGUS.
Diana served as an Agent of ARGUS for years, during which she and Steve got married and had a child, Stephanie Trevor. But, Diana felt as if she could be doing more to help Man’s World reach their true potential. In the late 90s, she was inspired by the emergence of Batman and Superman, to embrace her natural gifts.
As her husband appeared at a convention to address the growing meta criminal problem, neo-Nazi assassin Rudolph Hessenpfeffer made an attempt on Trevor’s life, but was defeated by a gorgeous woman in red, white, and gold armor. And thus, Wonder Woman was born.
=== Wonder Woman ===
Diana began living a double-life, as an agent of ARGUS, and a costumed superhero. She would eventually cross paths with Superman and Batman, when three of their villains attempted to steal Amazonian technology. The three heroes teamed up and defeated the group.
They would reunite a year later, joined by the Flash, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, and Green Arrow to stop an alien invasion, wherein the Justice League was formed for the very first time. Diana, facing a conflict of interest, chose to resign from ARGUS, to help her husband, the then Executive Chief of Operations. Thus, she took up a job as a museum curator in National City.
Wonder Woman served as an icon of femininity during this early time on the Justice League. She was poised, intelligent, and powerful. She became an outspoken advocate for women’s rights. Two scientists, Helena Sandsmark and Julia Kapetalis, became her close allies during this time.
In 2005, she made the voyage back to the Paradise Islands, a difficult, near impossible journey. There, she begged her mother to allow her to use the Amazons resources for the betterment of Man’s World. She planned to open Amazonian Embassies and sponsor shelters for abused women. Hippolyta denied the request.
Diana returned home, unaware that she had a stowaway. When she arrived back in National City, she found Donna had remained on the boat, and begged Diana to take her on as an apprentice. Unable to make the difficult trip back, Diana obliged, introducing her to the Justice League’s sidekicks, making Donna a founding member of the Titans.
She later became acquainted with a friend of MariMcCabe, Barbara Minerva. She helped Barbara get a job at ARGUS with some help from her husband, and the two became close friends, both harboring a secret the other didn’t know.
Diana and Steve had a second child, Jason, in 2007. It was impossible for Diana to keep the secret of her superheroics from her children, so eventually she gave up trying. She would later be brought back to her heritage when she was kidnapped by Veronica Cale and her Godwatch Team. On this very mission, she gained another protege in the form of Cassie Sandsmark, as well as an enemy-turned-ally in the form of Doris Zuel. She also discovered Minerva to be the assassin Cheetah.
Diana offered Doris to stay on the Island of Reform, with the agreement of her mother. Following this, she remained in closer contact with the Paradise Islands. After Doris’ stay proved to be a success, Hippolyta finally agreed to open up the Amazon’s resources to Man’s World. In 2009, the Paradise Islands joined the United Nations, with Donna serving as their ambassador.
Diana and Donna worked hand-in-hand to bridge the gap between man and Amazon, paving the way for the Atlanteans to do the same. The Amazons opened up shelters for abuse victims, and embassies to share their resources with the world. Diana grew as a symbol of hope as Wonder Woman.
=== Fall From Grace ===
Over the years, Diana would face many adversaries, including Doctor Cyber, Silver Swan, Cheetah, the Earthworm, and Angle Man. However, the greatest challenge to Diana’s uncompromising faith in humans came in the form of a friend.
On July 4th, 2018, OMAC Androids were unleashed on the metahuman populus. Tracking the source of the androids to a Checkmate bunker, along with Batman, Superman, and the Blue Beetle, Diana confronted the perpetrator of the attacks, revealed to be their close ally, Maxwell Lord.  Max revealed his mind control abilities by turning the Man of Steel on the group.
In an ensuing battle resulting in Ted Kord’s death, Diana wrapped Max with her Lasso, forcing him to reveal the way to break his mind control hold on Superman. Max told her that the one way was to kill him. So, Diana snapped his neck, an incident soon infamously televised around the globe.Days later, Diana resigned from the League, turning over her position to Black Canary. She returned to Themyscira to the Island of Reform. While on the islands of reform, Euryale and Stheno resurrected Medusa, sending her on a rampage throughout the Paradise Islands. After turning several of her sisters to stone, Diana was forced to intervene. She picked up a sword and did battle against Medusa. After being unable to get an edge on the villain, Diana picked up one of the severed snake heads and blinded herself with its venom, allowing her to beat Medusa.
Diana returned to Man’s World, now without her sight, and reunited with her husband and children. She was offered back a position on the Justice League, but declined. She focused on her work with the embassies, and helping the people of the world in ways she couldn’t within the League.
