** The George Town Virginia resident [[Series/WonderWoman1975 Drusilla]] Priam is really Cassie Sandsmark, who'd have thought? [[ClarkKenting Drusilla does wear glasses]], [[InTheHood overly baggy hooded sweat shirts]] and [[ClarkKentOutfit business suits]]!

* WantedProtagonist: In her mini series Cassie is blamed for The President of the United States being wounded while she was taking him to a meeting with Queen Hippolyta, leading to Cassie and Helena going into hiding in two different locations. In addition to United States law enforcement wanting Cassie the Female Furies are also after Cassie for their own reasons.

* BoxingLessonsForSuperman: Post Crisis, Diana of Themyscira is unimpressed with Cassie Sandsmark's combat skills. Diana would train her if Helena wasn't arguing against it, if Diana's body didn't start turning back into clay, if she wasn't too busy dying/dead thanks to Neron, but since she can't Diana assigns Artemis of Bana-Mighdall to the instruction of Cassie. It's happy times for Cassie, as Diana also pushes Cassie's friend Kara Zor-El into training with Artemis. Rebirth Cassie [[MythologyGag doesn't even need any pushing to learn from Artemsis, but Rebirth Artemis doesn't have the patience for Cassie.]]

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Infinite Frontier portays Cassie Sandsmark as an immature goofball who gets on the nerves of several amazons. Cassie Sandsmark nontheless has the full confidence of Queens Hippolyta and Nubia for her knowledge of "Man's World" and her skills as an investigator.

** On the Earth 3 of DC Rebirth, Cassie Sandsmark goes by [[InheritedIlliteracyTitle Amaxon]] Thunder and leads a gang of super powered teenaged {{delinquents}}. Infinite Frontier later reveals that this planet is where The Crime Syndicate reigns and its Sandsmark is one of the better adjusted residents, [[ALightershadeOfBlack no where near as bad]] as its ''[[DespotismJustifiesTheMeans Donna Troy]]''.

* BaitTheDog: Cassie Sandsmark often antagonized her teammate Rose Wilson/Ravager because of her past working with her father as a supervillain despite being brainwashed and drugged. Cassie would always say Rose does not belong on the team and doesn't trust her, and Rose would antagonize her for judging her for her past. There was a moment where the two of them appeared to make peace with each other when Rose was accused of betraying the team to work with her father. Cassie defended her, believing that after everything her father had done to her, Rose did not appreciate this gesture because of their previous interactions. Rose even considered leaving the team before the betrayer was revealed. But later, when Rose is battling her father's supervillain team, Cassie saves her. Rose is surprised, but Cassie smiles and says that they are family. Unlike before, Rose did appreciate what Cassie did for her. In a later issue, Rose remarked that she was happy that Cassie was treating her nicely. It was implied that the two young women were burying the hatchet and becoming friends. But then, when one of their teammates goes missing, and Robin tells Cassie this, and that he believes that Rose is concerned, Cassie tells Robin that she does not believe that, saying that Rose does not care about anyone but herself, calls her a one-eyed sociopath, stating that Rosa cannot be help nor does not want to be help, which means that her previous kindness towards Rose was likely fake. The two of them continue to antagonize the relationship throughout the series, with Rosa quitting the team twice because of Cassie, and Cassie ironically puts her back on the team, not because she believes in Rose, she let her back on the team because she needs a more able-bodied teammate. It appears that even when Cassie genuinely tries to be nice to Rose, her hatred of Rose is too strong for her kindness to last.

* BigSisterInstinct: She Invokes this at Bart Allens funeral ([[DeathIsCheap Don’t worry, he gets better]]) when she says he was like a brother to her and that she intends to make whoever killed him suffer.

* BoxingLessonsForSuperman: Post Crisis, Diana of Themyscira is unimpressed with Cassie Sandsmark's combat skills. Diana would train her if Hellena wasn't arguing against it, if Diana's body didn't start turning back into clay, if she wasn't too busy dying/dead thanks to Neron, but since she can't Diana assigns Artemis of Bana-Mighdall to the instruction of Cassie. It's happy times for Cassie, as Diana also pushes Cassie's friend Kara Zor-El into training with Artemis. Rebirth Cassie [[MythologyGag doesn't even need any pushing to learn from Artemsis, but Rebirth Artemis doesn't have the patience for Cassie.]]

* TheChampion: Post Crisis, Cassie becomes the champion of Ares after Zeus resuppresses her innate powers. Ares doesn't care what Cassie does with the title or perks that come with it, he just wants the recognition from his sister. She loses the title, perks and nearly her life however when Ares becomes god of the underworld and reconnects with his son Lycus, who he comes to favor over Cassie and allows to attack her.

* CustomUniformOfSexy: When Diana, Donna and Cassie all armor up for another go at the monster Genocide, Cassie's eagle armor is the ony one exposing her belly button.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite her dislike of Rose Wilson, when Bombshell accuses Rose of being a traitor, working for Deathstroke, Cassie defends her, believing after everything her father did to her, Rose would never work for him again.

* GogglesDoNothing: She started out wearing goggles and a wig in an effort to protect her identity but kept wearing goggles even after she ditched the wig and was wearing the goggles ''up on her hair like a headband''.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Her [[HeadbuttingHeroes constant bickering]] with Rose Wilson was the result of Rose betraying the Titans after her father Deathstroke drugged Rose into an AXCrazy DaddysGirl. No matter what Rose did, Cassie was not willing to give her a second chance. Meanwhile, when Bombshell, a former Titan who freely chose to betray and subsequently attempted to kill the Titans, asked to be let back on the team, she gets a second chance from Wonder Girl and the other Titans. As Rose points out, it's telling that she let someone who betrayed the Titans out of their own free will back on the team, something even Bombshell acknowledges, while denying her, who only betrayed the team due to her free will being taken away, a second chance, too.

* LethallyStupid: After Diana gets a job at Hellena Sandsmark's museum in Gateway City, Cassie quickly establishes why Hellena's been having a hard time with her and what Diana can expect going forward [[GenreBlind when Cassie wakes up]] a {{golem}} that proceeds to rampage. Cassie's first three as "Wonder Girl", first to even the odds for Wonder Woman and Champion against synthoids of Sinestro, Doomsday and Barry Allen, then against the monster Decay, ends up hinder the heroes more than it helps them. Diana is eager to give Cassie some proper training, figuring it will make Cassie less of a nuisance and give her an outlet for her energy, but Hellena strongly disagrees and forbids it until Zeus gives/restores Cassie's innate powers.

* ProgressivelyPrettier: Cassie Sandsmark starts off as a thin lipped, baggy eyed, pencil necked, flat chested kid [[{{foil}} deliberately designed to be uglier than her mother]], but develops into a bombshell ''more'' conventionally attractive than Hellena. ''Some'' of this is {{justified|trope}} by more regular exercise, better sleep habits and puberty, but it's mostly due to changing Cassie's character from "unremarkable child who asked for and gained power" to "demigoddess under a RestrainingBolt".

** Some of her verbal punches against Rose are below the metaphorical waistline such as when she mocks Rose for ''[[EyeScream gouging out her own eye]]'' while [[BrainwashedAndCrazy under Deathstroke's control.]]
** WhatTheHellHero: After ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'', Diana decided to retire for a while and takes off for parts unknown without explaining to Donna and Cassandra why. In issue #2 of ''ComicBook/WonderWoman2006'', Cassie vents her anger on her:

* WeakSauceWeakness: During the Pre-Flashpoint continuity, her weakness is that she can have [[YouAreGrounded all of her powers taken away on command by her parents]]. Even if Hellena Sandsmark doesn't invoked this weakness, Cassie's super strength and speed fade away if used against Hellena, allowing Hellena [[AlmightyMom to easily restrain Cassie]]. Regardless of continuity, Cassie consistently doesn't have whatever Wonder Woman's weakness might be, having some completely different drawback. Before becoming "goddess of truth" Wonder Woman was initially vulnerable to piercing and cutting attacks, but demi-goddess!Cassie was never particularly bothered by them, for example.

* GirlishPigtails: After Wonder Girl is exposed as Cassie Sandsmark, Cassie takes the opporitunity to change her look, in an effort to look more mature and be taken more seriously. She doesn't realize the pigtails make her look ''more'' like a kid, but most take her new look as an improvement nonetheless.

* ProgressivelyPrettier: Cassie Sandsmark starts off as a thin lipped, baggy eyed, pencil necked, flat chested kid but develops into a bombshell. ''Some'' of this is {{justified|trope}} by more regular exercise, better sleep habits and puberty.

* EmergencyWeapon: When the situation is desperate Cassie grabs and adamatine sword of the same make Chronus used to castrate Uranus.

* FastBallSpecial: ''Whatever Happened To The Warrior Of Truth'' reveals Cassie fantasises about beating up Darkseid with Diana. Diana is taken by surprise when it turns out Cassie's "brilliant" is ''throwing'' Diana at Darkseid, but Diana plays along since she's been [[ItMakesSenseInContext stranded in the dreams of her friends and rivals until she can make every last one of them feel better.]]
* {{Flight}}: In her first appearance she uses the Sandals of Hermes to achieve it but she is later granted flight of her own for her courage.

* NighInvulnerability: Being a demigoddess has its advantages. During Teen Titans #65 she actually mocks amazon tradition and throws her bracelets away as being unncessary...though Cassie puts them back on for Wonder Woman Volume 3 #28 when the amazons are facing Genocide.
* NoSell: No Nostrum of Regression, Cassie's not clay born. No amazon suppression serum, Cassie's powers are amazon in nature. Void wind away as much of the Greco-Roman pantheon as

* ProgressivelyPrettier: Cassie Sandsmark starts off as a thin lipped, baggy eyed, pencil necked, flat chested kid but develops into a bombshell. ''Some'' of this is justified by more regular excercise, better sleep habits and puberty.

* RedIsHeroic: Most of her costumes use red. While her first thrown together outfit had no red on it, once Cassie started putting some ''thought'' into what she'd be wearing as Wonder Girl she added a small sliver on red and is sometimes recursively depicted with red shorts by some artists flashing back to her early days.

* SuperSpeed: Demigod. The extent of her speed is unknown but decidedly fast.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Post-''Graduation Day'', she was a lot more rude and abrasive. This got worse after Conner's death, when a lot of her role in ''Teen Titans'' was just being angry at everyone, justified or not. This would continue long into the New 52 and only got rectified during ''ComicBook/YoungJustice2019''.

* TheUnchosenOne: When she first debuted. Unlike Donna or Diana, there was nothing inherently special about Cassie: she just really liked Wonder Woman and [[ContrivedCoincidence Wonder Woman just so happened to have taken a day job at a museum owned by Cassie's mother]]. When the Olympians wanted an audience with the mortals closest to their champion, to Steve Trevor, Etta Candy, the Kapatelis family and the Sandsmarks, Cassie used the opporitunity to [[RefugeInAudacity request a private audience with Zeus and ask him for superpowers]]. This was retconned after a few years, however, as Cassie always having powers and Zeus simply releasing the RestrainingBolt she didn't know was placed on her(much to the annoyance of her creator, John Byrne).

* WeakSauceWeakness: During the Pre-Flashpoint continuity, her weakness is that she can have [[YouAreGrounded all of her powers taken away on command by her mother]]. Even if Hellena Sandsmark doesn't invoked this weakness, Cassie's super strength and speed shuf off it used against Hellena, allowing Hellena [[AlmightyMom to easily restrain Cassie]]. Regardless of continuity, Cassie consistently doesn't have whatever Wonder Woman's weakness might be, having some completely different drawback. Before becoming "goddess of truth" Wonder Woman was initially vulnerable to piercing and cutting attacks, but demi-goddess!Cassie was never particularly bothered by them, for example.
