Wonder Woman is Diana of Themyscira, Princess of Amazons. Born on Paradise Island, she is a (Valedictorian) student at Metropolis High School, where she feels awkwardly out of place.
History
Background
Since she was brought into being when she was moulded from clay on the island of Themyscira, Diana was trained to be a warrior princess. The combat training she received was constant and she had to train to be perfect, with little fun she could have, even playing with her Aunt.[1][2]
One day Diana competed in the tournament of Athena and Aphrodite, against her mother's orders and won, believing she was destine to save the world of man Diana snuck off to leave Themyscira. Upon landing in man's world she immediately encountered a boy name Steve Trevor who she immediately developed a crush on.[3]
Joining The Super Hero Girls
Diana was quickly caught wandering the streets and was brought to Metropolis High School where they assumed she was a student trying to skip class. After a fight with a fellow student, Diana discovered there were more heroines attending her school. Diana and her five new friends founded a super-team that she became leader of.[4]
She spent the first few months in Metroplis living in the tree tops of the cities parks until she had a chance encounter with the antiquarian Julia Kapatelis. Julia immediately recognised Diana as an Amazon and offered up her home for Diana to stay in as her own daughter was away at college. The two subsequently fostered a close relationship to one another.[5]
