Anaya is an Amazon of Bana-Mighdall and lover to Iphthime, an Amazon of Themyscira.

History

With Falizia and Bitari, Anaya came to protest the outsider Donna Troy being coronated when the Banas are still being snubbed in all ways, though Anaya's protests were not strong. She was more interested in learning photography from Donna, and Donna obliged.

Anaya was injured in a bomb blast by Aella's hardliners. In the hospital, Anaya's girlfriend Iphthime confessed that she had something to do with it, but that she did not realize it would go so far. After the Civil War, Iphthime hoped to rekindle her relationship with the still recovering Anaya, but she denied her.

Anaya helped in the defense of Earth during Our Worlds at War. She released all prisoners from the Civil War, including Iphthime, so they could participate in the battle.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

• Amazonian Physiology: The Amazons are a race of warrior women that have received gifts and blessings from five Olympian goddesses: Artemis, Athena, Demeter, Hestia and Aphrodite. Anaya possesses the same potential powers as an average Amazon. These include:
  • Enhanced Intellect: A gift from Athena, the Amazons have the wisdom to be guided by peace and justice.
  • Superhuman Strength: The Bana-Mighdall, lacking immortality, were forced to procreate with men, which means their powers are not on the same level as a Themysciran Amazon.
  • Superhuman Durability
  • Superhuman Stamina
  • Superhuman Agility

Abilities

• Amazonian training: The Amazons honed their skills in many fields, aided by the gifts from Athena and Artemis.
  • Archery
  • Equestrianism
  • Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced)
  • Swordsmanship
• Photography: Anaya learned photography from Donna Troy.
