History
Yara Flor is a demigod who hails not from the Island of Themyscira but from the Amazon Rainforest in South America.[4] She has a faithful winged steed, Jerry, and, along with her friend Caipora, a forest guardian spirit, Yara travels to the Underworld to rescue one of her Themysciran sisters from the clutches of Hades, the Olympian god of the dead,[1] a sister she’s never even met before.[4]
Yara is also an active member of the Justice League. Although the new rules of the League forbade fraternization among its members as a way to protect them individually and not have to go through the same tragedy that resulted in the dissolution of the previous League formation, Wonder Woman and Superman (Jon Kent) became friends.[2] It is also worth noting that, despite being always willing to work with her colleagues in the League, Yara is not very happy to be part of it.[5]
