Donna Troy

**Donna Hinckley Stacey Troy**, also known as **Donna Troy** and **Wonder Girl**, is a character from the *DC* comics.

First appearing as a Wonder Woman doppelganger, Donna Troy has become one of the most beloved characters in the DC universe. Re-imagined in the New 52 as the perfect Amazonian weapon born of clay to battle Wonder Woman for the throne of Themiscyra.

In the AWA fics, Donna is set to appear in a future AWA storyline.

## **Appearance**

Donna has a slim yet curvaceous figure. She has a long curly black hair and has dark-blue eyes.

Donna wears a black choker around her neck, a black star-spangled sleeveless bodysuit with a buckled sash wrapped around her waist, silver metallic arm bands and wrist bands, and white boots.

## **Personality**

She is known for being a sweet woman and a good listener, but she's faced much tragedy and a tangled past in her life.

Nothing can seem to dent Donna's optimism. Though it's implied that she is actually a Stepford Smiler because of the various traumas she has been through to the point she can become brutally vicious and morose when pushed far enough.

## **Abilities**

As with her changing versions, her power has changed, but she has generally been shown to exhibit the same powers as Wonder Woman, except in a limited capacity (it is generally accepted that Donna Troy's physical prowess was roughly 1/10th that of Diana's). These include super strength, super stamina, super speed, enhanced reflexes and agility, increased durability (though like Diana she can still be injured by piercing weapons), flight, superhuman sense, enhanced healing factor. She has shown some abilities that Diana has not such as generation of photonic energy and truth sense. She is also an advanced hand-to-hand combatant due to her Amazon training. The silver age version of the character also had some specific abilities such as voice imitation (she could imitate the voice of any person she heard.) it was assumed that when she was a duplicate of Wonder Woman that she shared the same powers as Diana had been given by the gods, but many of these were never actually shown. She has also been shown to have a psychic rapport with Diana and the two can sometimes share dreams and memories.

In the New 52, Donna Troy's physical abilities have undergone a power increase, as she is able to engage Wonder Woman in melee combat as nearly her equal. We can assume that her superhuman strength, speed, reflex, and durability are now on par with Diana, making her a Top-Tier powerhouse. Donna has also shown something reminiscent to a boosted healing factor, as after her arm was severed by Diana, she put her arm on its place and it regrew back. Whether this is a healing factor or possibly an ability due to the fact that she was partially sculpted from earth remains unknown.

She has employed many different forms of equipment of her long publication history. In the Silver Age, she employed a lasso that was very strong but did not have the exact properties of the Lasso of Truth. Later she is given the Lasso of Persuasion, which she can use to command those caught within it as long as Donna’s willpower is stronger (though she is said to have a will of Iron, for instance forcing Etrigan to revert to Jason Blood.) She uses the Amazon bracelets much as Wonder Woman does. In her different cosmic roles, she has also used some other equipment. Her “Star Costume” can be used for interstellar navigation. Another part of her reborn identity was to guard the universe orb and therefore was a very important character. She also bore the Darkstar Exo Mantle for a time since at that period she didn't have her own powers as well as a Black Lantern ring but they both didn't last for very long.

## **Trivia**
