## History

Since antiquity, there has been a remote Mediterranean island named Themyscira, inhabited by near-mythical women called the Amazons. They are masters of many forms of combat, but also have a knowledge of mysterious magic. Diana is the daughter of Ares and Hippolyta who was conceived as a term of a peace treaty between the Amazons and Ares.

Growing up Diana became the best fighter on Themyscira since her mother and won many tourneys. It soon came time for Diana’s first Hunt with her sisters, yet when they got to the boats of man, Diana was sickened by the barbarous acts that were being committed by her sisters. As to not call attention to herself she took the captain into his cabin and closed the doors. There she made a slight incision across his throat to make it appear she had killed him. She told the captain to play dead until they were gone and she was sorry for what happened to his crew. After returning to the Island, the elders held a grand feast to celebrate the young Amazonian's entering womanhood.

Over the coming months, Diana became disillusioned with her people and decided it was time for her to leave. She left into a rowboat and rowed for what seemed like days until she was eventually found by the HMS Centurion and its captain. She recognized him as the man she let live, as he helped her up onto the ship he introduced himself as Captain John S. Trevor. They talked for hours asking each other questions regarding their respective homes. Diana told him certain things but not enough to where he could locate them. John decided to take her under his wing and teach her of the world while traveling to London where they would go their own ways
