Hippolyta

Hippolyta was the latest in the lineage of great Amazonian Queens. Ruling for over 4000 years, she brought about an age of peace by hiding the Amazons away on a secret island known as; Themiscyra to protect them from all outside threats. However, she faced a new complication when the strongest Amazon; Bertha Dituri, exposed herself to the rest of the world.

## Biography

### Founding Themiscyra

After nearly being enslaved by mankind, Hippolyta decided to evacuate all remaining Amazons to a secluded island, far from the reach of any human. Christening the island; Themiscyra, Hippolyta ensured that her fellow Amazons were safe from any conflicts and dangers that the rest of the world faced and ushered in a golden age of peace and prosperity.

### Three-Way War

When Vlad the Impaler used the Ancient Gauntlet to spearhead his campaign for world domination, Hippolyta and the royal Amazon guard went out of their way to stop him. However, Thor and his Asgardian army were also there to claim the gauntlet and after a brutal three way war, killed Vlad and entrusted the gauntlet to a group of human sorcerers. Hippolyta and Thor made a pact to with the humans to not interfere in their affairs.

## Personality

Hippolyta was a stoic and compassionate leader, willing to risk everything for the wellbeing of her fellow Amazons. However, she was rather cold and logical, understanding that the fate of Themiscyra was at risk when Bertha vanished and was willing to kill her if it meant keeping the her people safe. She ultimately viewed everyone else as insignificant compared to herself and the Amazons, and arrogantly considered herself as a saint.
