History:
Diana was created from clay, molded into the form of a babe, and blessed with life from the many Goddesses the sisters of the Amazons. It was a joyous affair, the first and only child of Themyscira. Protected from the outside world, the Island of Paradise only had those who were meant to be there arrive. Each Amazon is the soul of a woman unjustly slain in Man's World, allowed to live there in peace, prosperity, and perpetuity away from the injustices of a world that seemed to thrive on it. Her childhood was one that had no wants, as everything was given freely and happily to the child of the island. As she grew up, however, things changed. There was a singular dream she had... and it was to see more than just her island home. The world of man had been sold to her as a horrible place, with nothing but pain and fathomless inequity, but all these beautiful souls of her sisters had come from there.
As she grew up, and centuries were spent in her perfect home, Diana felt the weight of the world settle upon her. If there was so much suffering, wasn't it their responsibility to ease it? If there were so many men who sought only domination and war, should they not fight them to extinction? If there was so much unknown in the world, should they not share their technology and understanding for all to profit from? It does the world no good to be isolationist- only the ones isolating.
A plan began to form, slowly and carefully. Diana was no prisoner here- no one was- but so few could fathom why she would want to leave this place in favor of one far crueler. She gathered what she could, and on a night where she felt it was perfect for her to flee, she prepared one of the boats. It was during these preparations her mother found her, wise and cunning, and lamented her own daughter hiding this need from her. Of course she had known- she was her mother. Tearfully, she gave her daughter gifts, ones to help her on her journey: Bracelets of Submission, Lasso of Truth, a Golden Tiara, and a Sword of Hephaestus. All were her birthright, all would help her in Man's World. They embraced, and Diana left, not to return for many, many years.
Diana found herself in 1200's Europe, under siege by the Mongols, the Crusades, and the Inquisition. The world was as tumultuous as she had been told growing up, but there was a beauty to it, too. Her heart grew with love of people, even those she knew were selfish, malicious, and apathetic to the woes of others. They were a product of their time, their upbringing, their trauma, even the trauma of those who came before them. She could only have empathy for them- there was always a better way, and they simply could not see it. It was she that put an end to the Mongol invasion of Europe, but it wasn't enough, a sentiment she would learn to understand deeply.
It wasn't until 1618 that she ran into Ares. She was wary- the God of War, Courage, and Bloodlust is not always one to be trusted, and for good reason. What spanned over the next thirty years in Europe was a dance between the two, as much as it was a dance between the Catholic and Protestant countries that decimated many at that time. Once it was finally over, the Treaty of Westphalia negotiated and agreed upon, Diana confronted Ares for what she thought was a victory. Instead, he laughed, and said it was time his little side project ended- things were just starting to get good in China. Dismayed, she learned a valuable lesson: the world is so much bigger than her island, than Greece, and than Europe.
The two would confront each other many times over the next four hundred years. Their most deadly were his new idea: World Wars. The first was where she met one of her greatest loves: Steve Trevor. She, along with his covert group and those like Wolverine, worked against the Central Powers in hopes of ending the war. As it continued, Diana with great dismay found war transforming along with technology, and started to grow worried for its affect on Ares. It took years for her to find him, and end the war, but she could tell there was something dark lurking within him. This was not the end, and what came next was going to be horrifically worse.
All of her fears were realized in WWII. Knowing there would be no end if there was nothing to combat the drugged up "super soldiers" of Nazi Germany, she worked with the American government on a super soldier serum of their own. She was one of the many that helped choose, then helped train, Steve Rogers, later known as Captain America. They parted ways when the Russians started reporting the atrocities of the concentration camps, Diana pivoted hard into liberating as many people as possible, and left Steve Rogers to contend with Red Skull. The choice haunted her for many years, as he was lost in ice for decades after. It was during one of these liberations that Diana met Erik Lehnsherr, the two working together for a short time.
It was the dropping of the atomic bombs that Diana realized Ares was so very close to being lost forever. He had been corrupted by his own need for war, bloodlust giving way to something far more horrific. It took years into the cold war for her to find him, and years more for her to help him out of the pit he had dug for himself. Cleansing him of his own rot was the only way to preserve life, what was needed for war to exist in the first place. While they would never be friends, they could at least hold each other in understanding and respect.
Diana slipped into anonymity these years, living a humble life as a professor, then an art dealer, then a museum curator. It took a global catastrophe for her to step out of her life and into the Justice League, forming it with Batman and Superman. She has been with them ever since, and helped found a magical branch of the Justice League as well.
Role Play Sample:
Ever since she was a child, Diana had her eyes on the horizon. She knew there was so much more to the world, beyond the confines of the crystal blue waters of her island. There were stories she would get some of her sisters to whisper to her away from her mother and aunt, and she committed every last one to memory. Some were of love, others of loss, and too many were of suffering.
Even now, as she sits in a trench along No Man's Land, looking at the stark and starved faces of her comrades, she itches for the horizon. She knows that they, do, too. They long for home. They long for the touches and words of their family. They long for a good meal and a warm place to sleep without fear of bullets or bombs.
She could put an end to this. Bring them to that horizon they all long for. Her fingers twitch, then she stands. She's going to bring them home, or at least a few feet closer.

Powers/Abilities:
Divine Empowerment:
- Superhuman Strength: Granted by Ala (Goddess of the Earth). Diana is literally as strong as the Earth because of her link to the planet granted to her by Demeter. She is said to be 'stronger than Hercules'. It is obvious her strength is magical in nature, given her height and weight. She has godlike strength and also invulnerability due to her aegis-made shield magic bracelets. With her superhuman strength and superior fighting abilities, she has proven to be able to take on any other member of the Justice League in combat. She is strong enough to lift weights well into the megaton range and even pull 1/3 of the earth.
- Superhuman Durability: Granted by Andraste (Goddess of Victory). Diana, possesses a high resistance to damage and magical attacks. Her resistance to injury is not quite as great as other metahumans. However, due to her vast threshold for pain and her amazon ability to heal at a superhuman rate, this easily makes up for the difference. She has considerable resistance to human weaponries, though this is not absolute; she has a particular vulnerability to advanced bladed weapons, such as swords and spears, and projectiles, such as bullets and arrows. Bullets can cause minor to moderate injury, but not life threatening. Also, her ability to heal rapidly, makes up for this set back. She can easily survive under extreme pressures, cold, and heat. Wonder Woman has been able to traverse space, undergo submergence into lava, and withstand a direct explosion from a nuclear warhead unharmed. Born of the clay of Themyscira, and given life and divine powers by the gods themselves, Diana has heightened resistance to magical attacks. She is highly experienced in battling foes who use sorcery as a weapon. As a divine creation herself, she is far-less susceptible to manipulation by magic and mental attack than many of her fellow heroes.
- Flight: Granted by Amaterasu (Goddess of the Sun). Wonder Woman is capable of unassisted flight. Wonder Woman is capable of flying at speeds of greater than escape velocity. She has been clocked at Mach 5 (hyper-sonic) traveling in sustained flight and can go much faster if need be.
- Superhuman Speed: Granted by Ishtar (Goddess of War). She is able to think, react and move at superhuman speeds. Her top speed is high hypersonic (It's lightspeed in some instances but it may not be consistent) and she can easily keep up with speedsters, though not their top speeds.
- Superhuman Reflexes: Granted by Pinga (Goddess of the Hunt). Wonder Woman possesses reflex abilities similar to speedsters, and has been noted as being faster than a kryptonian. Wonder Woman's reflexes are far beyond the limitations of the finest human athletes. She has been able to react to a barrage of gunfire from multiple opponents at once unharmed.
- Superhuman Agility: Granted by Bastet (Goddess of Protection) Wonder Woman's agility is far beyond that of even an Olympic-level athlete, as is her balance and coordination.
- Superhuman Stamina: Granted by Mara (Goddess of Winter). Wonder Woman can last a great deal of time in any fight and with virtually anyone. She has held her own in combat with very formidable foes. She doesn't tire out, as her body produces no lactic acids in her muscles.
- Enhanced Healing Factor: Granted by Isis (Goddess of Healing). Like the Earth, Diana is constantly renewing herself, allowing her to quickly heal mild to moderate injuries at an amazing rate. Her normal regenerative abilities allow her to recover from injury within seconds to minutes. She possesses an incredible immunity from poisons, toxins, as well as disease. In rare cases where she was gravely injured or where another has managed to severely poison her, Diana showed the ability to physically merge with the Earth, causing whatever injuries or poisons to be expelled from her body as she regains shape.
- Oneness With Fire: Granted by Hestia (Goddess of the Hearth).This makes her a focus of truth.
- Empathy: Granted by Guanyin. (Goddess of Compassion) "The Sight of Guanyin" apparently grants her increased insight. (For example, Diana can often detects others' emotions, and is now so fully immune to illusions that she usually is not even aware of what illusions are around her. Most forms of mind control will not work on her either). She can also detect other people's emotions. Even other high-level telepaths would be unable to read her mind or attack her in such a manner.
- Animal Rapport: Granted by Inara (Goddess of Animals). Ability to communicate with all forms of animals (including dinosaurs) and her presence alone can bring a raging beast to a calm standstill.
- Enhanced Senses: Granted by Artemis (Goddess of the Hunt). Eyesight, hearing, taste, touch and smell. She also possess the "Hunters Eye" which allows her to always hit her mark. She can see to far greater distances than any normal human. Wonder Woman was briefly blinded, then had her sight restored by Athena. Since then, she has had the sight of Athena.
- Dimensional Teleportation: Granted by Hel (Goddess of Death). On occasion, Wonder Woman can literally leave the planet through meditation. She did this to rescue Artemis when she was in hell, and has even conversed with the Gods on occasion.
- Master Combatant: Granted by al-Lat (Goddess of Combat). Diana is the finest warrior ever born among the Amazons of Themyscira. She is a master of armed and unarmed combat, proficient with nearly every weapon ever made (especially the bow and the javelin) and the exotic martial arts styles of the Amazons.
- Master Tactician and Strategist: Granted by Freyja (Goddess of War). Diana is also an accomplished strategist and tactician, trained in the arts of leadership, persuasion and diplomacy, and possesses a great deal of courage as well. She is a gifted leader.
- Multi-lingual: Granted by Iris (Goddess of Communication). Diana has exhibited heightened proficiency with languages, being able to speak her native Themysciran, Ancient and Modern Greek, English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Mandarin Chinese (she expressed "difficulty" with the tones of Cantonese during an interview with Lois Lane), Russian and Hindi. Plus, through precise muscle control, she can mimic other peoples voices for short conversations (telephone). It is more difficult, (though it can be done), for her to mimic a man's voice than another woman's voice.
- Wisdom: Granted by Athena (Goddess of Wisdom). Diana possesses great wisdom and intelligence, though the degree varies from author to author. She is among the smartest and wisest members of the Justice League of America.
- Beauty and Love: Granted by Aphrodite (Goddess of Love). Diana has stunning beauty, as well as a kind heart. She has love of all people.
- Immortality: As a demigoddess and an Amazon, Wonder Woman does not age beyond her prime. However, to solidify this more, Ameretat (Goddess of Immortality) granted her deeper abilities in this.
- Aviation: Expert pilot. Seen flying the Invisible Jet with ease.
Weapons/Items:
- Bracelets of Submission: The bracelets were formed from the remnants of Zeus's legendary Aegis shield, and Diana's superhuman reflexes and senses allow her to deflect or reflect projectiles and bullets, including automatic weapons fire, as well as energy blasts, including multi-vector attacks.
- Lasso of Truth: absolutely unbreakable and has restrained beings as powerful as Superman, Shazam, and the gods Ares and Hades. The Lasso burns with a magical aura called the Fires of Hestia, forcing anyone within the Lasso's confines to be truthful. The Fires can restore lost memories, dispel illusions, renew the wielder's body, protect those encircled by it from magical and nonmagical attacks, and even cure insanity.
- Golden Tiara: doubles as a throwing weapon, used for long-distance attack or defense. It's strong sharp metal is capable of cutting through any durable substance, even that of Superman.
- Invisible Plane: used as transport by Diana and could be mentally controlled.
- Diana occasionally uses additional weaponry in formal battle, such as ceremonial golden armor complete with golden wings, war-skirt and chest-plate, and a golden helmet in the shape of an Eagle's head.
- Sword of Hephaestus: Her deadliest piece of battle-gear is a magically forged sword (again a gift from Hephaestus), so sharp that it can "carve the electrons off an atom".
