Donna Troy

## Background

### 1890 - 1901: Donna Troy

Not much is really known about Donna's early life. Prior to coming to Themyscira, her life remains a blur as no records could be found as most things were kept on paper & lost. Donna recalls her mother was a quiet & meek lady while her father a funny man, always making her laugh.

### 1901 - 2004: Donna of Themyscira

When she was a young girl, Donna went aboard a ship with both of her parents. During the ship's journey, pirates attacked the vessel & raided the ship for all the goods that were aboard before opening fire on the ship & destroying it. Donna was the only person who survived the attack apart from the ship's male captain. Though barely conscious, she held on to a shard of the wooden ship. The ship's captain took Donna & swam her to safety on the shores of Themyscira. This valiant effort came at the cost of his own life as he suffered a fatal heart attack & died on the beach.

Princess Diana was the one who found Donna & the deceased captain on the beach. With her mother's blessing, they buried the noble captain. Feeling pity on the young girl, Donna was adopted by Queen Hippolyta & was declared an honorary Amazon. To honor her with true Amazonian heritage, Hippolyta had their mages bless her with Amazon powers & immortality by the Purple Ray. In addition to her magical powers, she was taught in Amazon fighting techniques & learned misandry philosophies.

Since her coming to Themyscira, Donna has truly become one of the Amazons. Donna had remained on the island for nearly a century before Diana went to Man's World to return Steve Trevor. After staying there for some years, she expressed a desire to their mother than she wanted Donna to join her. Though Hippolyta was hesitant, Donna was eager to join after hearing Diana's many stories. Once Hippolyta agreed, Donna not only came to Man's World as Diana's superhero partner, Wonder Girl, but she also joined the Titans alongside Diana's daughter Aresia. Donna wasn't too keen about joining a team, especially with men, but Diana said this was a compromise as she wanted Donna to have her own group to be with.
