Synopsis for "Birthday Blues"

This story is reprinted from Wonder Woman #770.

Young Diana climbs on a tree to celebrate her birthday. She has seen almost all of Themyscira before except the view onto the city. Excited that she has finally made it to the treetop, Diana loses her footing but is luckily saved by her friend Jumpa, one of the island's Kanga. She feels that she is old enough to finally contribute to society instead of study. The Amazons feel different as their young princess rides through the market on Jumpa, too caught in her thoughts to realize that she is destroying goods.

Reaching the seafront, annoyed Jumpa throws her into the ocean, where Diana encounters the island protectors, Megalodons, which she still fears. She is pulled out of the ocean by Hippolyta, who tells her she needs to start training Jumpa more seriously. Her mother's words fuel Diana's self-doubts.

Hippolyta rides with Diana to a surprise party the Amazons organized. Still feeling patronized, Diana tells them that she wants to experience something new and be more than the child on the island. The Amazons tell her that she has not learned everything yet. She will learn how to tell the story of Themyscira next.
