Bertha Dituri (Earth-0205)

Bertha Dituri is the strongest among the Amazon warriors, in both mind and body. She is one of the few who have ever left Themiscyra and willingly choose to defend mankind.

## Biography

### Early Life

Realising her strength was developing far beyond that of any Amazon, Astrid trained to Bertha from a young age to become the head of the Amazonian Royal Guard. The intense training made Bertha one of the most formidable forces on the island, using her immense strength to its fullest advantage along with her tactical wit.

### Meeting Lucas Stark

Bertha was on a morning walk when she saw something breach Themiscyra's illusion barrier. Not wanting to alert the Queen, she decided to find out for herself what this mystery intruder was. After a few minutes of searching, Bertha found what she was looking for, a man in an armored suit. She immediately jumped the intruder, hoping to catch him by surprise but was blasted into a tree by a laser that came out from his palm. Recovering, she leapt at the intruder again, dodging all the blasts that came out of his palms and struck him across the face. The two went at it for several minutes until the intruder seemed to raise his hands as if to cease the fight. He introduced himself as Lucas Stark and that he did not mean to trespass on the island, but found it by sheer luck. The two sat down and began talking, with Bertha telling him about Amazon culture and Lucas telling her about the outside world. Hearing about the injustices that were happening on the outside strengthened Bertha's resolve to help mankind.

## Personality

Bertha is a humble and honourable warrior who wants nothing more than to protect the world from threats and fight for the greater good. She would give up anything in order to achieve her goals. She is also rather socially awkward, especially when it comes to Earth customs, such as a handshake or the concept of how tennis works. However, she does enjoy having fun in her own way, as she took great pleasure by ending a tennis game early despite not fully understanding it. Bertha is likewise far from tech savvy, having no idea about the thought process of machines and would even refer to holograms as magic. While this makes her seem somewhat unintelligent, she is in truth just oblivious due to the absence of such items in her life and her straightforward view of life.
