### Childhood

#### Birth

Legend told Diana of Themyscira was born of her mother's strong desire for a child, a lump of clay brought to life in the form of a girl; the perfect Amazon, as she was born of no man. However, another account claimed that Queen Hippolyta had had an affair with Zeus, and Diana's real parentage was hidden in order to protect the Queen and her daughter from the wrath of Zeus' notoriously jealous wife Hera.. Later, it was suggested that the tale of her being Zeus' bastard was, though partially true, at its center, a lie.

Unbeknownst to Diana, her mother also gave birth to her twin, a brother named Jason. A third child, Grail, would be born to an Amazon on Themyiscyra that stormy evening; half divine, like Diana and Jason, but with a significantly less glorious father: Darkseid. Grail, spirited from the island by her mother, Myrina, would one day grow to be a dangerous enemy to Diana, and to all Amazons.

As she grew, Diana often became restless, feeling that she had seen all that the idyllic isle had to offer; her listlessness compounded by her existence as the sole child within Themyscira's borders. She did, however, befriend a young Kanga she named Jumpa, and she shared a special bond with Nubia, who emerged from the Well of Souls on the day of Diana's birth; they were considered to be twin sisters, despite their vast difference in age.

#### Learning Her History

One birthday while she was young, Diana climbed a tree atop one of Themiscyra's peaks, taking in a vista overlooking the island. As she stood on one of the tree's branches, pondering her circumstances, Diana accidentally lost her footing, and fell from the tree. Luckily, she was saved by her erstwhile companion Jumpa. Afterwards, she rode Jumpa down to (and through) the market, much to the consternation of many of the merchants. She and Jumpa proceeded to the beach, where Jumpa, who had not been fully trained, bucked her off, into the water. While underwater, she saw a megalodon in the distance. Much to Diana's relief, she would quickly be pulled from the water by Oenone, who gently admonished her for not training Jumpa more thoroughly, and for fearing the megaladons, who protected the island. Oenone took Diana to a small camp elswhere on the beach, where the Amazons had organized a birthday celebration for Diana.

Despite the celebration, Diana felt ill at ease. She felt unsatisfied with her life, with her seeming lack of purpose. She offered her elders a number of ways she could help: building with Calyce, working the stables with Althea, or tending to the gardens with Oenone. However, her path had already been decided: she would learn the art of storytelling from Clio, the Scribe.

This did not satisfy Diana; she sought adventure, and she saw no such thing taking place in Themisycra's archives. The next day, she met Clio in the archives, where they discussed Themiscyra's history. Clio took the position that there were imperfect, dark parts of Themiscyra's history, a position that her superior, Hellene admonished her for. However, Diana was intrigued by Clio's debate with Hellene, and, impassioned, sought to learn more about Amazon history from Clio.

Clio informed Diana that parts of Amazonian history had been lost over the years. She took her deeper into the temple archives, showing her a shrine to the Amazon's patron goddesses where some of their most ancient texts were stored, and demonstrated that each statue of the patron goddesses carried a tome- all of them except Aphrodite. She explained that traditional wisdom held that it was because Aphrodite's gift was love, not knowledge, but that she suspected the truth was otherwise. She suspected that that tome was lost to the elements or a battle with intruders.

Diana, ever the thrill-seeker, immediately offered to try and recover the missing texts for Clio. Clio was reluctant, but after some badgering on the part of the young princess, she relented and accepted Diana's offer. A few days later, Diana began to search the one place that largely remained untouched: the sea surrounding the island. First, however, she made a stop at Oenone's quarters, and convinced her to loan her a breathing apparatus.

Diana dove into the underwater islands surrounding the island, beginning her search despite her fears of the megalodons. While there, she encountered a young megalodon; she bonded with him, naming him Theo, and Theo led her to an undersea cavern- a cavern that contained the missing text she was searching for. Retreiving it, she brought it back to Clio, to Clios's great excitement. However, they realized that pages had been torn out. Afterwards, she visted her Mother and Phillipus and spoke to them for a time.

The next day, she visited Magala, the Amazonian mystic who tended to the Well of Souls, the font from which new Amazons are brought into the world. She confided to Magala about her and Clio's discovery; Magala revealed that she possesed the missing pages. Later that evening, Diana heard a mysterious voice that prompted her to begin reading through the recovered pages. Within them, she discovered the tale of a young soldier who had been amongst Hercules' forces- compasionate and kind, he had been killed by his own men while attempting to surrender.

Later, she became obsessed with the seemingly enchanted pages. She was interrupted by Clio, who pulled at the pages, causing them to rip, releasing the magic bound within- which then possesed Clio. The possesed Clio began to attack those around her; luckily, Phillipus saved Diana in time. Hippolyta amd Hellene confronted the possessed Clio, only to be defeated. Clio would only be saved after Io hit her with a blast from the purple healing ray. Clio and Diana quickly realized that a trap had been placed upon the pages by the witch Circe in order to discourage truth-seekers.

A short time later, Hellene revealed to Clio and Diana that it was her who had torn the pages and hidden the text; that she had done it to gain prestige amongst her fellow Amazons, and that this had left her vulnerable to Circe's manipulations. Clio and Diana accepted Hellene's apology, and in turn Hellene revealed who had ordered her to hide the book in the first place: Queen Hippolyta. Diana confronted Hippolyta, who revealed the truth: she had the histories altered in order to hide her own failure. She then gave Diana an accurate account of the fall of the first Themiscyra to Hercules and Theseus, and the death of her sister, Antiope, and how it was her spear that had started the bloodshed. After discussion with Magala, Diana returned to her mother, and convinced her to reveal the truth to her sisters. Afterwards, Clio and Diana participated in the Amazonian games for the first time.
