History Characters / WonderWomanAllies

** The Amazons of the Amazon are not from Greek or Roman Mythology but from Europian colonial mythology of the 15th to 19th century, Spanish, Portugues and French in particular, and they are ''far'' more vile than their Greco-Roman counterparts, being the closest thing from an actual mythology to the infamous New 52 amazons. The Future State and DC Rebirth Esquecida, [[CompositeCharacter who previously went by many names of the mythological amazons of the amazons]], are if anything ''more'' pleasant than the Themyscira and Bana-Migdhall tribes, keeping their city hid and men out of it their only real sticking points besides defending the forest. They have ''no'' issues interacting with men or the outside world otherwise.

* StrawFeminist: In a few stories, much to the annoyance of the fans... don't even mention ''ComicBook/AmazonsAttack''. DC Rebirth has reduced this severely for both the Themycira amazons, who sometimes begrudgingly find themselves acknowledging some good developments from the minds of mortal men, and Bana-Mighdall, who started out in this timeline ''less'' misandrist than Themyscira and only started sliding into misandry on a cultural scale when original queens Antiope and Atalanta were MIA. The Esquecida are even less misandrist still...but on the other hand DC Infinite Frontier spent two years teasing a new version of Amazons Attack and indeed went through with the story line.

Donna Troy's past is... [[ContinuitySnarl complicated]]. But basically, she's Diana's sister. She is known for being a sweet woman and a good listener, but she's faced much tragedy and a tangled past in her life. She was originally ComicBook/WonderGirl of the ComicBook/TeenTitans, and now she forges her own path as simply Donna Troy. Comes equipped with the same bracelets as her sister, and a lasso that can override the mind of its victim, provided that Donna's will is stronger than their own.\\

The Queen of the Amazons always longed for a child, because out of the Amazons, it was she who was reincarnated from a pregnant woman. In reward for her service and leadership, the Gods gifted her with Diana. Hippolyta is a stern leader, but she is also a nurturer who loves her daughter.\\

-->-- Artemis, ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'' (Vol.2) #2

Artemis of Bana-Mighdall is an Amazon from the Bana-Mighdall Tribe and first appeared in ''Wonder Woman'' Vol 2 90, which was published in 1994. In her introduction, Artemis challenged Diana for the responsibility and title of Wonder Woman, as she felt Diana's approach to her mission was too passive. Artemis won the new contest to determine the new ComicBook/WonderWoman and acted with a more [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy "warrior"/aggressive attitude]] in contrast to Diana. She was rather promptly killed [[DeathIsCheap but she got better]], and despite her disdain towards men and [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy warrior attitude]], [[TookALevelInKindness she's become a close and loyal ally of Diana's and a true hero]].

She is not to be confused with her namesake Greek deity [[Characters/WonderWomanGods Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt]], the Villainous Silver Age Earth One Amazon Artemis, or with Artemis Crock, who started out as the villainous Tigress before being made famous as a young hero in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010''.\\

[[AC: Web Comic]]
* ''WebComic/RedHoodOutlaws''

* ActionGirl: She's an Amazon after all.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Prior to Flashpoint most of Artemis' costumes included at least a little bit of green, and green combined with her red hair was her signature look. After her reintroduction she's in red and black. She's been seen decked in red before, but only in Elseworlds style tales and Flashpoint.
* AdaptationalModesty: She achieved that pinnacle of Amazonian costuming and acquired pants in ComicBook/DCRebirth, something even Wonder Woman can't claim. Both she and Di previously got pants in ''ComicBook/WonderWomanOdyssey'', but those costumes didn't last beyond the storyline and her pants there were a part of her costume being a recoloring of Diana's to highlight their status as rivals.
* AdaptationalNationality: Some continuities have Artemis as being an Amazon born and living amongst the Amazons of Themyscria with the Bana tribe she originates from being AdaptedOut.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Would never admit it but obviously forms the basis of her rivalry with Diana.
* AmbiguouslyBrown:
** Her exact ethnicity is never specified but the Bana-Mighdall Amazons are from Egypt and have been there since antiquity, making her red hair and pale skin really stick out when she's with her tribe. DC Rebirth makes her skin tone more peachy, and ''ComicBook/TrialOfTheAmazons'' sprinkles in a larger numver of peachy skinned Bana-Mighdall, though they still have a higher ration of black and brown women than Themyscira.
** The eighth annual of Wonder Woman Volume 2 gives her skin a slight tan.
** She has a much darker skin tone in ''ComicBook/EarthOne'' and the ''Wonder Woman 80th Anniversary'' special.
* ArcherArchetype: Well known for using a bow and arrow in combat and is rather antisocial and arrogant. In ''ComicBook/RedhoodAndTheOutlaws' title she gains a magical Bow with fire powers made by the god Ra.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Artemis is the greatest warrior of the Bana-Mighdall and never misses an opportunity to remind people of this, especially Diana.
* AntiHeroSubstitute: Took over as Wonder Woman for a brief time during TheNineties.
* BlackMagic: Has some working knowledge of demonic sorcery after her time in Hell.
* BloodKnight: She absolutely loves a good fight. In DC Rebirth she comes to respect Cassie Sandsmark, who she otherwise despised at this point, because Cassie put up a better fight than the Themiscyra Amazons trying to break them up.
* BreakoutCharacter: Was initially just an antiheroic replacement for Diana. Now one of the most beloved Amazon characters in the WW mythos. She even had her own miniseries.
* CharacterDevelopment: While she started out as one of the Bana lest likely to turn their misandrist views into outright murder and was perfectly willing to save men from danger she still considered men inferior and distasteful. The longer she spends with the Themyscirans and society at large the more she starts losing some of her misandrist views.
* CharacterExaggeration: Some continuities make Artemis's misandry and unpleasant attitude much more extreme than in the comics, from being instantly hostile to any man she sees at best (Smallville, WW 2009) to wanting to wage war to wipe them all out at worst (Earth One). Ironically, these adaptations tend to make Artemis a [[AdaptationalNationality Themysciran Amazon]], with the Bana AdaptedOut.
* TheChosenOne: [[spoiler:While she might not have been chosen (mostly) as a leader, she was chosen by Hippolyta in a SuicideByCop pact in absolute secrecy for the latter to ascend to godhood. She was chosen because of her absolute loyalty.]]
* ConflictingLoyalties: From the start of DC Rebirth Artemsis has to deal with the fact The Bana-Mighdall have ''two'' rightful queens. While Antiope and Atalanta are gone she is willing to faithfully serve acting Queen Faruka II, but willing to execute Faruka when Atalanta returns and Faruka starts acting up. Her Bana-Mighdall sisters' continued loyalty to Faruka II stays Artemis's hand, but her sisters also insist that Faruka II let Atalanta lead alongside her. Then it turns out Antiope is still out there, plotting, giving Artemsis ''three'' conflicting loyalties. Then it turns out Artemis is ''also'' taking orders from Themyscira's former queen Hippolyta, even after Hippolyta stepped down and put Nubia on the throne. It's of ease to Artemis when Hippolyta, Atalanta and Antiope reveal they've been working together all along, reducing her conflict back to two. Nonetheless Faruka II still goes behind Atalanta's back to give Artemis contrary orders while the other three continue their secret plans they make her swear not to make public.
* DemonLordsAndArchdevils: After dying and ending up in Hell, she briefly serves as a general/fiancée of a demon lord named Dalkriig-Hath. Diana convinces her to quit and return to Earth.
* DoesNotLikeMen: One of the more vocally misandrist Amazons, though she gets over it soon enough by getting sexually involved with various males.
* DressedLikeADominatrix: Artemis's outfit in ''Requiem'' is a white and green LeotardOfPower with opera gloves and thigh high boots with spikes around them.
* EscapedFromHell: Basically resurrected herself by escaping Hell and crawling out of her own grave, also rescuing an unconscious Diana in the process.
* EveryoneHasStandards: She is violent, brash and has a low opinion of men and is from the "bad" Amazon tribe compared to the "good" Themysciran ones. Despite this, her misandrist views are that men are annoying and inferior at worst. These views never lead her to want to kill them just for being men, something that some, possibly more, of the "good" amazons want deep down. Artemis is even visibly disturbed when Hippolyta declares war on the US and starts massacring all the men in Amazons Attack.
* {{Expy}}
** She's an amazon named Artemis who competes with Diana. She's ''not'' the same as the black haired, blue eyed "Silver Age" Earth One Amazon named Artemis, who also fought with that world's version of Diana. In fact the overall stories of Silver Age and Post Crisis Artemis are almost in reverse, but they end up serving similar roles nonetheless.
** Visually this Artemis is one to Zealot from ''ComicBook/WildCATSWildStorm''. Both are super powered members of female warrior tribes and both debuted in the 90s. Artemis' hairstyle is even based on Zealot's.
** She is also based on an Amazon character from the 70s named Orana. Like Artemis, Orana was a red-haired Amazon who challenged and defeated Diana for the role of Wonder Woman, and then was killed in the line of duty. Unlike Artemis, Orana was not resurrected. Also, while Orana initiated the contest and cheated to win, Hippolyta initiated and cheated for Artemis, without Artemis's knowledge. There are some instances where Artemsis challenges Diana to various things for various reason of her own accord, but Artemis always plays/fights fair, and invariably ends up losing when the contest is fair.
* ExpyCoexistence: As of DC Rebirth Artemis shares the same world with both Orana and Zealot. Orana now being Artemis's more level headed counterpart and Zealot managing to be even more of a pariah among the amazons of Themyscira.
* FieryRedhead: Redhead with a well-deserved reputation for jumping into things half-cocked, and loudly with a particular love of a good fight.
* ForgotAboutHerPowers: Rebirth Artemis has an ever expanding arsenal but you're liable to miss most of it unless you read every last book she appears in. Artemis rarely use The Bow Of Ra, for example, outside of ''Red Hood And The Outlaws'' and books related to it.
* FrontLineGeneral: While Queen Faruka II appreciates Artemis's skill in battle, she often shoots down Artemis for wanting to do things that aren't technically her job. She doesn't need Artemis to cut down every problem personally where there are plenty of soldiers for that, and Artemis often insists on personally doing things she's not particularly good at too, like scouting and assassinations.
* TheGoodChancellor: Eventually becomes one of two joint leaders of Themyscira with Philippus Post Crisis after Hippolyta steps down and dissolves the monarchy. She ran and oversaw security on the island while Philippus handled civic affairs.
* GoodWearsWhite: After she became more of an ally to Diana, Artemis started wearing a white LeotardOfPower.
* GreenEyedMonster: During DC Rebirth Artemis storms through the Bana-Mighdall stronghold scolding her sisters for celebrating the return of "their champion" Wonder Woman and demanding they get back to work or return to guarding their posts. [[JerkassHasAPoint She actually had a point about the posts]] but there was still plenty of time for a little celebration.
* HandwrapsOfAwesome: Her ''Rebirth'' outfit has these.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: The general public does not take kindly to this more vicious and abrasive Wonder Woman to the point the Justice League refuses to acknowledge her as a viable replacement for Diana.
* ICallItVera: She likes to name her weapons, if they're not already named when she gets them. For instance her axe is Mistress, and her lasso, which was previously called the Lasso of Submission, she and Diana renamed to the Golden Promise.
* IconicSequelCharacter: Debuted in 1994, six decades after Wonder Woman's conception. She is also the most popular of the Bana-Mighdall despite not debuting in the comic run where the Bana were introduced.
* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: Her axe Mistress and later in Rebirth she gains the Bow Of Ra.
* ImprovisedWeapon: She once made a weapon similar to a meteor hammer out of her hair and one of the skulls on her outfit. Since the skull was made of silver, she was able to use it to injure the demon lord Neron.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
** Artemis is brash, violent, ruthless, crass, and spiteful. Even so, she still cares about defending innocents and took her short tenure as Wonder Woman seriously.
** She lets Cassie Sandsmark know at length that her presence is not appreciated, lays down an extensive list of ground rules for Cassie being allowed to help her, and promises to turn on Cassie as soon as Yara Flor is found, but quickly threatens to cut Potira's throat when Potira threatens Cassie with a stick. She doesn't follow through with turning on Cassie either, though Artemis still has to be talked out of assaulting Yara.
* KnowsTheRopes: Post Crisis she gets to use the Lasso of Truth for awhile, while acting as Wonder Woman. In the New 52 and Rebirth continuities Diana takes Lasso of Submission after Super Woman dies, keeping it until a worthy wielder can be found, which she finds Artemis to be in DC Rebirth.
* LegacyCharacter: During the 1990s, the Wonder Woman mantle was briefly passed to Artemis before she was killed off.
* LeotardOfPower: One of her more well-known outfits is a white leotard with green gloves and boots.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: While the entire Yara Flor debacle was a result of all three Amazon tribes assuming the worst and [[PoorCommunicationKills not bothering to talk to each other]], Artemsis is one of the worst offenders, as her first meeting with Cassie Sandsmark in "DC Rebirth" is punching Cassie for "following her", causing a fight so noisy two Themyscira Amazons Cassie had been sent to assist threaten to throw them both out of Brazil for being an embarrassment to their kind. Upon finding Yara, Artemis picks a fight with her too before Cassie defuses the situation.
* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: The dark feminine to Diana's light. Where Diana is warm, friendly and kind, Artemis is brash, crude and impulsive.
* LikeCannotCutLike: The Bow Of Ra refuses to harm Amazons it deems worthy of becoming Shim'Tar. It can only be used to harm them indirectly.
* MsFanservice: Her tenure as Wonder Woman had in her what was probably the skimpiest the Wonder Woman costume ever to be drawn.
* MultiMeleeMaster: Her go-to weapon is a bow when she has one, but she's usually carrying a pair of sai, a broadsword and giant battleaxe as well and she's very good at wielding them, which gives her SuperStrength an ''edge'' in a fight.
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: After Artemis left to retrieve the Bow Of Ra and returned to see what a mess of things Faruka II made in her absence, on the advice of a ''man'' no less, Artemsis was willing to execute Faruka on the spot. Seeing that the rest of her Bana-Mighdall sisters still considered Faruka II their queen not only made Artemsis spare Faruka but return to serving herself.
* MythologyGag: On the "Silver Age" Earth One an amazon named Artemis competed with Hippolyta for the crown of paradise island 3000 years before Diana was born. Artemis lost, but the goddesses Athena and Aphrodite decided to give her the mission of serving as an ambassador to "Man's World" as a consolation prize. Artemis was supposed to be Wonder Woman before Diana was, but she rejected the mission and instead joined Creon in his conquest of Greece and eventually died after picking a fight with goddess Athena herself. Artemis is brought back from the dead by Circe to kill Diana in the then modern age, but spell can't hold up against Diana and Artemis returns to bones and dust. While Post Crisis Artemis is a completely different character, not even being from Hippolyta's tribe(who themselves are on Themyscira rather than "Paradise Island"), Hippolyta herself turning to magic to ensure Artemis ''beat'' and succeeded Diana as Wonder Woman so Artemsis would die instead of Diana, that Artemsis would be helped back to life partially by Diana, these were deliberate allusions to the earlier stories.
* NinetiesAntihero: Is much more violent and brooding than Diana, and very quick to use lethal force and irreverent over civilians who end up in harms way. Bonus points for being introduced during the 90s run.
* NoArcInArchery: {{Justified|Trope}} with the Bow of Ra, which isn't actually a bow so much as a solar energy conduit the Bana-Migdhall Amazons ''wield'' like a bow. That said, it ''can'' be used to shoot regular, arching arrows.
* NobleBigot: Her dislike of men and rampant misandry doesn't stop her from saving them from danger. She has also expressed romantic interest in multiple men despite outwardly decrying all men as stupid and inferior.
* NothingButSkulls: Had a prominent skull motif prior to being retgonned by Flashpoint.
* OneSteveLimit: Not only does Artemis share her name with the Greek goddess of the hunt, but she also shares her name with ''three'' other characters; Amazon character named Artemis whose corpse was reanimated and forced to fight Diana in a pre-crisis story; Artemis Crock aka Tigress from ''ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica'' and ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010''; and [[XtremeKoolLetterz Artemiz]] a [[ComicBook/NewGods Female Fury]] who first appeared in John Ostrander's ''ComicBook/SuicideSquad''.
* OnlyTheChosenMayWield
** {{Invoked|Trope}} by Diana, who felt Super Woman was unworthy to wield the lasso of submission and kept it locked away until deciding Artemis was a worthy wielder.
** The Bow Of Ra will only accept Shim'Tar of the Bana-Migdhall Amazons, and even then only women of the tribe it deems worthy of being Shim'Tar. If the tribe nominates an unworthy candidate by its standards it will merely reject her. If she doesn't even have that much going for her it will immolate her. All of the Egyptian gods can also wield the Bow Of Ra, they just don't need to. The exceptions are when the Egyptian gods override the bow's decisions and let someone who is neither of their "pantheon" nor a worthy Amazon wield it.
* PowerOfTheSun: Does not have it inherently, but is gifted some StarPower as long as The Bow Of Ra considers her a worthy wielder. She can even radiate a little solar energy when not holding it.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: The Bana prize fighting skills above all else and Artemis is one of their best fighters.
* PursuedProtagonist: [[spoiler:During the Artemis: Wanted one shot, when Cassie and Donna are chasing her.]]
* RaceLift: Artemis has a noticeably dark skin tone befitting someone of Middle Eastern or North African descent in ''ComicBook/WonderWomanEarthOne'' and ''Wonder Woman 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular''.
* RedheadInGreen: Prior to Flashpoint most of her costumes and armor contained a significant amount of green to look nice with her red hair. In animated adaptions and group shots of Amazons fighting she's usually easy to pick out as the grinning Amazon with a long red ponytail wearing green.
* RedIsHeroic: Her red hair is her most distinguishing feature. She also wears red and black in DC Rebirth.
* {{Retgone}}: At the start of the New 52, Artemis was replaced by a similar-looking Amazon named Aleka, who was actually much more cruel and contemptuous of Diana, frequently mocking her by calling her "Clay." As part of ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'', Artemis was brought back in ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws''.
* RiseFromYourGrave: She crawled out of her own grave after fighting her way back to life.
* TheRival: She was introduced as a less scrupulous rival for Diana, who believed she could better carry out Wonder Woman's mission than the princess and challenged her for the title and responsibility.
* SacredBowAndArrows: As the name implies, the Bow of Ra is a weapon created by the Egyptian sun god Ra and gifted to the Bana-Mighdall. Only those worthy of becoming the Shim'Tar may wield it.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: She's a major player with ludicrously long red locks and bright green eyes.
* SpikesOfVillainy: During her time as Dalkriig-Hath's bride, she wore a variation of her white and green leotard that featured spiked gauntlets and boots.
* StockShonenRival: Artemis originally served this role to Diana when introduced. Artemis is a member of the Bana-Migdhall tribe, a more militant and less trusting tribe of Amazons. She was chosen to serve as an AntiHeroSubstitute to Diana during the 90s and was characterized as being Diana's opposite being arrogant, ruthless, much more eager to use violence and obsessed with proving her superiority to Diana. Eventually, Artemis underwent CharacterDevelopment and became more of a FriendlyRival to Diana.
* TheStraightAndArrowPath: Like the goddess for whom she is named, Artemis is well known for using a bow and arrow.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her outfits tend to be quite a bit skimpier than Diana's, showing off much of her shapely rear end. Thankfully averted as of ComicBook/DCRebirth where she finally gets pants as part of her default outfit.
* {{Sucksessor}}: Artemis' tenure as Wonder Woman was marred with criticism from the public and even other superheroes due to her antisocial personality and excessive use of violence which often made situations worse. Batman refused to let her sit in at Justice League meetings and Diana's own sister Donna Troy voiced her disapproval of Artemis. To add insult to injury, the only reason Artemis was actually given the title of Wonder Woman was because Hippolyta was trying to prevent a vision of Diana's death from coming true.
* SummonToHand: Rebirth Artemis has several weapons she can call upon this way. At first just Mistress but it's a perk The Bow Of Ra also has that she has learned to use on other things.
* SuperStrength: The Bana-Mighdall lost their immortality when they split from Themyscira but passed down the strength granted to the tribe to their descendants. While that strength is waning for many members of the tribe Artemis isn't one of them, and is considered their strongest member.
** In the post crisis continuity Hippolyta still needed to use magic to siphon some of Diana's strength into Artemis to ensure Artemis would win the challenge for Diana's title. Diana eventually gets her strength back and Artemis needs to use the Shim'Tar {{magitek}} armor to close the gap.
** In the Rebirth continuity The Bow Of Ra boosts Artemsis's physical attributes, including her strength, to make her capable of wielding it properly. Without it she's weaker than Diana, the Wonder Girls and Nubia, even after Nubia's Coronation as queen of all three tribes grants the Bana-Mighdall all of the amazon gifts.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Was this to Orana as mentioned above. Orana eventually returned as a much different character, but Artemis then got a similar replacement in Aleka from the New 52 Wonder Woman run.
* TokenHeroicOrc: One of the only Bana characters to ever be portrayed positively.
* TomBoyAndGirlyGirl: When teaming up with Diana she is the {{Tomboy}} to Diana's GirlyGirl.
* TomboyishPonytail: How she usually wears her hair.
* TookALevelInKindness: Upon coming back to life, she noticeably mellowed out from her stereotypical FieryRedhead characterization during her early appearances and time as Wonder Woman. Becoming a genuine friend of Diana and a mentor to [[ComicBook/WonderGirl Cassie Sandsmark]].
* UndyingLoyalty: To Hippolyta as it turns out. [[spoiler:She is the one chosen to carry out a SuicideByCop pact in absolute secrecy in order for Hippolyta to ascend to godhood and unite the Amazonian tribes. It helps that she learns Hippolyta's plan is supported by Bana-Mighdall founders Antiope and Atalanta.]]
* UnexpectedSuccessor: Eventually becomes Polemarch (leader of the military, essentially), one of two joint leaders of Themyscira after Hippolyta steps down and dissolves the monarchy.
* UnwantedAssistance: While she comes to respect Cassie Sandsmark's strength after their first meeting in "DC Rebirth", their personalities clash. Cassie loves Artemis when not being punched by her but Artemis still can't stand Cassie and only accepts Cassie's help in finding Yara Flor once she realizes Cassie at least knows where to look, Artemsis doesn't, and Artemis has knocked out the only other Amazons who could also help.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Eventually becomes this with Diana. Even more vitriol but still a degree of friendship with Cassie Sandsmark in Rebirth.
* WeaponOfMassDestruction: The "Bow" of Ra can destroy stars. Luckily for all life on Earth Artemis is not a sun god and unlikely to pull this feat off, but she could still cause more than enough damage to anything on the planet if not careful with it.
* WhiteSheep: While Bana-Mighdall Amazons in general were treated as more of a persecuted race than AlwaysChaoticEvil after Creator/GeorgePerez left the book, Artemis remains the WhiteSheep of the tribe... comparatively speaking. Akila, their champion, is also more decent than the average, preferring scholarship to war. In Rebirth the tribe's founder Atalanta is the white sheep of the flock, with Artemis as a distant second and Akila as bad as the rest.

[[quoteright:227:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/f55f856fc88c5a5e97897f605f4659b6.jpg]]

The Amazon Guard Captain, military leader of Themyscira, and Hippolyta's lover. Something of a second mother to the Princess, Philippus took an active role in raising Diana, most notably teaching her an early lesson in using one's wits instead of strength alone. Eventually becomes one of the two leaders of Themyscira alongside Artemis as both Chancellor and Archon Eponymous (head of civic affairs).\\

* AmbiguouslyGay: Her dedication to Hippolyta is suspiciously homosexual in nature, but Philippus does not openly admit to loving her queen in ''that'' way until after ''fourteen years'' of publication time during ''Our Worlds At War''.
* TheCaptain: Her role as Hippolyta's general.
* CassandraTruth: For the first twenty years of her life Diana is only slightly more powerful than the other amazons, with her most notable trait being [[SuperToughness survival]] in the face of Philippus's extra harsh {{training|fromhell}}, so no one takes Philippus's concerns about Diana becoming far too powerful far too quickly seriously. By the time Diana ''is'' powerful enough to pose an exestensial threat to the island, Philippus's lessons on restraint were hammered into her, so Philippus ends up much better than the mythological Cassandra on that point. On the otherhand no one take's Philippus's warnings about The Circle's insanity seriously either and this [[ApatheticCitizens lack of concern]] almost gets Philippus ''and'' Diana killed.
* CombatPragmatist: In the Post Crisis continuity Philippus shoots a young Diana in the back of the leg after arranging for a boulder to come rolling down a hill as a distraction. This all because she felt Diana was becoming too reliant on her wonderful powers and that Diana needed to be taught that her divine gifts did not make her untouchable.
* {{Determinator}}: Getting an arrow through the chest doesn't stop her from saving her Queen from The Circle's treachery.
* DoesNotLikeMen: Philippus is typically the amazon most vocal about executing Steve Trevor when he crashlands on Theysmcira. In the ''Injustice Gods Among Us'' continuity she's RightForTheWrongReasons, as Trevor is a Nazi spy that the amazons would have saved themselves much future trouble in killing, but Philippus just wants him dead because he's a man who committed the sin of involuntarily intruding on their space.
* DreadlockWarrior: Most often seen with dreads.
* FightClubbing: She was the grand champion of the Victor's Circle, a secret Themysciran unarmed fighting ring, for 200 straight years.
* FightingYourFriend: Post Crisis, Philippus decided to scare what she believed to be an unhealthy sadistic streak out of young Diana by masking some soldiers and ordering them to assault Diana. As Diana was beating them up Philippus unmasked the attackers and Diana was horrified to realize she was beating up her friends. While this was simply meant to teach Diana to use more restraint in battle, it ended up being a more valuable lesson than even Philippus anticipated, as several future enemies would manipulate, brainwash or outright control Diana's friends against their wills.
* GenderBlenderName: Philippus is traditionally a man's name. The female equivalent is just one letter away in English, Philippis, and Philippis ''was'' the name of an amazon during the labors of Heracles, but Philippis also ''died'' trying to kill Heracles, not [[SadlyMythtaken that that's]] ever [[DeathIsCheap stopped]] DC [[UnexplainedRecovery before.]]
* TheGoodChancellor: Eventually becomes one of two joint leaders of Themyscira after Hippolyta steps down and dissolves the monarchy.
* InterserviceRivalry: Head of the General Guard and harbored (warranted) suspicions toward Hippolyta's personal bodyguards, The Circle.
* KnowsTheRopes: As Philippus likes to remind people, she's the one who trained Diana. Philippus also demonstrates in ''Trial of The Amazons'' that she's better with ropes than Donna Troy is, especially when it comes to [[MundaneUtility applications outside]] of lassoing monsters.
* LadyOfWar: Not quite as regal or graceful as Hippolyta, but still shows shades of this as a consummate warrior woman. She proves she knows more about hair dressing than Nubia's actual hand maidens.
* LegacyCharacter: In many adaptations, such as ''ComicBook/KingdomCome'', when Diana steps down from the Wonder Woman mantle, Phillipus is the one to become the heroine.
* LikeADaughterToMe: Philippus took an active role in raising Diana, essentially serving as a second mother to her.
* MistakenNationality: As Hippolyta takes inspiration from Wonder Woman's mission in the Post Crisis continuity and decides to strengthen contacts between Themyscira and "Man's World" Circe is provoking The Bana-Mighdall tribe, who are mostly black and brown women of African and West Asian descent, to increase their attacks on Man's World and even commit acts of terrorism. Thus the "black" Themysciran is mistaken for a Bana-Migdhall, attacked and hospitilized for it in an act of MisplacedRetribution. Wonder Woman is able to thwart Circe, pacify the Bana and clear Philippus's name.
* OnlySaneMan
** In the Post Crisis continuity The Circle were well liked among the amazons, with even Hippolyta finding their obssessions towards her endearing, Philippus being the only person on Themyscira to realize they were insane. While trying to fight them alone as they attempted to murder infant Diana wasn't Philippus's wisest decision, the ensuing struggle did convince the rest of the guard to see things her way and imprison The Circle.
** Philippus tends to be the one amazon to advise the rest not offend and defy their gods when it can be avoided, though she admits that it sometimes can't be helped. Stopping Zeus from raping Diana was good. Interferring with Zeus's punishment for denying him, which amounted to sending Diana to the otherside of Doom's Doorway, that was bad, to the point Philippus tried to restrain Hippolyta when she wanted to go with Diana and suffered a beating from her queen for it.
** In the Post Crisis and especially The Rebirth continuity, Philippus is one of the few amazons consistently shown to be aware of [[CantCatchUp the power difference]] between Diana, Donna Troy, Nubia, Cassie Sandsmark, Yara Flor and the rest of the amazons. In many ways Philippus [[UnskilledButStrong doesn't take the Wonder Girls that seriously]] but knows better than to try and take them on directly and definitely knows when to give Diana and Nubia their space.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: As a post crisis amazon Philippus has been reborn into a stronger than should be humanly possible body and is among the most martially talented individuals in a society full of the same. Her dedication to her training often lets Philippus keep up with Wonder Girls Donna Troy, Cassie Sandsmark and Yara Flor, even berating them for undestimating her, but Philippus is still fully aware that she's not as powerful as they are and perfectly content with the knowledge Diana and Nubia can outshine her. Still, as queen, Nubia has to periodically tell Philippus to go enjoy herself and [[UnwantedAssistance stop trying to help when it isn't needed]].
* PrayerIsALastResort: Philippus [[ReligionIsMagic can heal injuries and eject toxins from her body]] by praying to Gaea. Protogenoi can be just as [[JerkassGods fickle]] as Olympians, however, so Philippus always tries to make sure she's really out of options before trying.
* RankScalesWithAsskicking: Even without weapons, Philippus's fighting prowess befits a military leader. In the underground Themysciran fighting ring known as the Victor's Circle, she holds the record for the most fights and was the Circle's grand champion for two solid centuries.
* {{Retgone}}: Post-Flashpoint, Philippus was erased from the DCU and seemingly replaced by a similar looking Amazon named Dessa. [[spoiler: Post-Rebirth, it's revealed Philippus is still an Amazon and was actually living on the ''real'' version of Themyscira alongside Hippolyta, whom she is now in a physical relationship with.]]
* TheRival: To the much more dangerous captain of the guard Alkyone, whose radical views led her to attempt to murder Diana.
* SaveYourDeity: After Hera declares that the gods are dying during the Wonder Woman/Shazam ''Lazarus Planet'' tie ins, then removes the wards protecting Themyscira while proclaiming the amazons will soon be too and [[NayTheist Faruka II taunts the Themyscira amazons that their patron goddesses are worthless]], Philippus is DrivenToSuicide, believing that such a gesture done in faith can save the island and the ascended Hippolyta. Hippolyta arrives just in time to stop Philippus and save the island as it comes under seige from Hades.
* SeriousBusiness: ''ComicBook/SensationComicsFeaturingWonderWoman'' shows Philippus treating organizing a party like a military operation, shouting orders and directing Amazons as though the situation is far more serious than it is. She still finds time to flirt with Hippolyta, who finds the whole thing endearing.
* ShootingSuperman
** Post Crisis Philippus does shoot Diana as a youngster, knowing that it won't seriously hurt her but will teach Diana that she is not an untouchable PhysicalGod, despite being as strong as one.
** Philippus does not approve of Diana's desire to escort Steve Trevor back to Man's World, but since Diana won The Contest to do so, she can't deny Diana either. What she can do is shoot bullets at Diana to get her ready for what she can expect from "Man's World". Diana [[SignatureMove of course]] passes this test with flying colors.
* TheChainsOfCommanding: Philippus takes over as regent queen of Themyscira after Hippolyta becomes depressed from guilt by her plot to have Artemis die in Diana's place, and goes into excile. Philippus hates being queen however and tries to pass the crown to Diana every chance she gets.
* TokenMinority: Not the only black Amazon, following ''Crisis On Infinite Earths'', but is the only one with any significant panel time. Times when Nubia comes out of limbo being the exceptions.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: To Nubia's surprise and slight annoyance, the stern and rigid Philippus insists on being the one to handle Nubia's hair during her coronation ceremony, to ensure her queen looks her best. The work of Nubia's chosen handmaid was undone when Nubia was dunked in the Hotsprings of Gaia and Philippus was subtely implying she hadn't approved of it.
* ToughLove: Her approach to "training" Diana, Post Crisis in particular, bordered on abusive and was often designed to be traumatic, but Philippus's [[WellIntentionedExtremist intentions]] were to instil caution, restraint and humility into a [[CantCatchUp frighteningly powerful practical goddess among practical mortals]].

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: She's got it bad for the princess. Diana seems to notice, but simply isn't interested.
* TheBlacksmith: She is the premier blacksmith on Themyscira, and is even addressed as "Blacksmith" by Ares.
* CannotSpitItOut: She'd like to confess her feelings to the princess, but she's too nervous to do it.
* TheCutie: She's neither as cut nor trim as most of her amazon sisters, but still far from fat, giving her a softer girlish look.
* EyeScream: During ''Trial Of The Amazons'' Io appears to die [[spoiler:after Doom's Doorway is breached, either by [[BigBadEnsemble Chaos or Echnica]]]], but she ends up surviving, just with a black scar on her face where her eye used to be.
* DropTheHammer: While she's used swords in fights, most remarkably when she garnered some goodwill with Ares when she surprised him with a stab wound from a blade he himself had blessed, she's more often got a hammer on hand.
* ForgingScene: Creates a suit of armor for her princess.
* GentleGiant: Huge even for an Amazon, but she's a total sweetheart.
* ItsWhatIDo: During a time where the gods forbade the presence of weapons on Paradise Island, Io persisted in crafting blades knowing they would instantly disappear upon completion. Why? Because it's her job.
* KindHeartedCatLover: Initially not the case in DC Rebirth, where Nubia's cat flat out hates Io, who is just fine to leave it at that, [[spoiler:but the two start to get along while everyone is mourning Hippolyta's death.]]
* MyGreatestFailure: Io is devastated when Ares easily defeats her and takes Lyta.
* OfficialCouple: Established in the ''Nubia and The Amazons'' miniseries to be in a relationship with Nubia.
* ParentalSubstitute: She took responsibility for raising and protecting Lyta Milton, the daughter of Ares and Circe, and the girl very understandably prefers Io to her own mother and has a meltdown when she thinks her father killed Io.
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: It pains Io to watch Diana go off to face Medousa. During DC Rebirth she also fails to hide her hissy fit when Nubia agrees to meet with The President Of The United States alone while US ally Canada is rattling its saber against Themyscira.
* ShrinkingViolet: She's fairly shy and reserved.
* StoutStrength: She's nowhere near as strong as Diana or Nubia, but is otherwise amoung the biggest strongest women on Themyscira, though she doesn't have the most visible musculature at a glance until she starts moving.
* WrenchWench: She's responsible for the construction and upkeep of most vehicles on Themyscira, but she doesn't drive many herself. In particular, she tends to end up directing her ire at the pilots of the island's main spacecraft, The Hecatess, for how often she apparently has to repair it.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Much like Hippolyta, her hair color changes depending on the universe. She's usually blonde but was a redhead in the Silver Age and in ''ComicBook/TheLegendOfWonderWoman2016''.
* {{Chessmaster}}: Rebirth Antiope is playing a centuries spanning long game that interects with the plans of Hippolyta and Atalanta, but is the one doing the most to make sure things go right while they end up bogged downs in TheChainsOfCommanding the Themyscira and Bana-Mighdall tribes. She approves of Wonder Woman's mission to bring peace between the two tribes and to man's world, but unfortunately for her Wonder Woman isn't willing to sacrifice the people necessary to make it happen, in Antiope's mind, and is too powerful to stop directly, so misdirection is her strategy.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: Post Crisis she has a Golden Girdle that increases her strength. Hippolyta has one too, but Antiope gives hers to Hippolyta after Hercules steals it and leads the Bana-Mighdall Amazons to get Hippolyta's back from Hercule's men, and the Bana-Mighdall collective refuse to wear it themselves, even after Hippolyta's subjects refuse to acknowledge The Bana-Mighdall tribe. After Wonder Woman brings the two tribes together again, Hippolyta finally gets her girdle back...Antiope's had been reforged into the lasso of truth!
* CrisisOfFaith
** Post Crisis Antiope ends up forgiving Theseus, realizing the betrayal of the amazosn was due to Heracles being driven mad by Ares, and that Heracles being there at all was due to being driven mad by Hera, that [[JerkAssGods the Olympians]] were ultimately to blame and that Theseus deserved a second chance if he really wanted peace. And there was peace, until Circe screwed it up!
** DC Rebirth Antiope respects the gods a lot more than her Post Crisis self, with the notable exception of Zeus, who she comes to view as [[GodIsEvil an evil bastard]]. Ironically Rebirth Zeus is nowhere near as evil as his Post Crisis self.
* DeathByOriginStory: Post Crisis, Antiope manages to bring peace between The Amazons and Athenians. So the witch Circe, who hates peace and wanted war, has Antiope assassinated by Theseus's ex wife, frames Theseus for it, and lets the Amazons of Bana-Mighdall do the rest.
* FightClubbing: She founded the Victor's Circle, a quasi-official underground fighting ring on Themyscira. Antiope herself holds the record for the fastest knockout/shortest fight within the Circle.
* FounderOfTheKingdom: Of the Bana-Mighdall tribe of Amazons, post crisis. DC Rebirth she shares the honor with Atalanta, though Antiope still is pulling strings fron the shadows, and presents herself as founder when Atalanta is indisposed.
* IBelieveICanFly: Rebirth Antiope had a sword that allowed her to fly. It was lost by her and found by Maggie, who went on a quest to find Antiope and return it to her. Antiope refused, instead declaring Maggie an "honorary" amazon and giving her free access to Themyscira.
* PosthumousCharacter: Antiope, in the post-Crisis universe, died several thousand years before Diana was brought to life.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: In ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'' (Silver Age) after betraying Hippolyta the power hungry Antiope redeems herself by sacrificing her own life in battle to save Hippolyta's.
* StealthHiBye: In DC Rebirth she spends a lot of time shadowing Diana, only making her presence known when Diana starts doing things that may threaten [[spoiler:Hippolyta's ThanatosGambit]]. Diana assumes she's being stalked by a ghost. Queen Hippolyta knows better, but keeps Diana and later Nubia ignorant, since it serves her own purposes.
* {{Sucksessor}}: During her time away from The Bana-Migdhall Faruka II is elected to take Antiope's place as their second queen next to Atalanta. Everyone ''except'' possibly Diana, who wasn't there to know better, even some women who elected Faruka II, think that Faruka is a poor substitute. Even Artemis would have been ready to murder the new queen if not for her popularity with the majority of her sisters. The Bana-Mighdall do have a breaking point though, when Atalanta, who is still interested in her throne returns, and Faruka has her imprisoned. When it's found out, the Bana force Faruka to acknowledge Atalanta as co queen, still Antiope refuses to take back the crown and allows Faruka II to rule alongside her aunt as queen too.
* TricksterMentor: During DC Rebirth she appears to be trying to teach Diana to be less selfish and more focussed on the duties that need to be done. In reality she and a few other amazons have grand plans for the greater good that will require some women ''die'', and doesn't want Diana's ChronicHeroSyndrome and personal feelings screwing it all up. Still, Antiope has Diana's best interest at heart.
* UncannyFamilyResemblance: Her post-Crisis incarnation looks almost exactly Diana save for her blonde hair.
* WeHaveBecomeComplacent: DC Rebirth sees her leave Themyscira not to pursue Heracles, but in defiance of Zeus and out of belief The Amazons should be actively serving the world, showing Man's World how to be better, instead of relaxing on Themyscira, following her aunt Atalanta to form the Bana-Mighdall tribe and serving as co queen alongside her the pocket dimension of Olympus started collapsing and Antiope felt Themyscira needed their general back. Even then, after leader her sisters to refuge in Dimension Chi Antiope left again, because she still felt they were complacent.

Prior to becoming the Shim'Tar she spent a lot of time sneaking away to study and is far more interested in scholarship than the art of being a warrior, which makes her very different from the average Bana Amazon.\\

->'''Universes:''' [[ComicBook/PostCrisis New Earth]], Prime Earth

* AdaptationDyeJob: In ComicBook/DCRebirth her Shim'Tar uniform becomes primarily teal, and loses its practical armor components.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Originally an intellectual pacifist, Rebirth sees Akila reimagined as a warrior rival of Artemis turned villain.
* AdaptationalSkimpiness: While the Shim'Tar armor always showed way more leg than necessary in Rebirth it lost the signature helmet, and added a bare back, shoulders and arms to the deal, the better for ridiculously sexed up poses while fighting.
* BreastPlate: Prior to Flashpoint her armor was cut impractically low and molded around her breasts when drawn by most artists. It also didn't provide any protection for her upper legs. In Rebirth her "armor" is not drawn to resemble armor at all, looking more like a tight halter-top swimsuit.
* DeathByAdaptation: Rebirth have the character go mad with power and get killed by her best friend, then come back and get killed deader than dead, while her pre-Flashpoint self was alive and well and trying to lead her people to be more tolerant and kind.
* {{Magitek}}: In the post crisis continuity she is sent away to acquire a "man's world" education and builds a cybernetic exoskeleton made to increase an amazon's strength with what she learns. Amazons of the Shim'Tar rank have their exoskeletons boosted by magic to make them even stronger.
* MeaningfulName: Her name means "intelligent" in Arabic. Fitting for one who prefers scholarly pursuits over battle.
* RaceLift: She's always been from Egypt and prior to Flashpoint was usually drawn looking Middle Eastern, while in Rebirth she drawn with Sub-Saharan heritage.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Prior to Flashpoint she was a scholar who wore reading glasses.
* VoiceOfReason: While she is also called on to fight as their champion one of the main reasons she was chosen as Shim'Tar was to act as a voice of reason for her proud warrior people, who tend to jump to more violent solutions to problems.
* WhiteSheep: (Pre-Flashpoint) The reason she was chosen as Shim'Tar is part of the promise for the future of the Bana-Mighdall as a more peaceful culture.

->"''And'' '''I''' ''am Wonder Woman.''"
-->-- '''Nubia, Wonder Woman''', ''Nubia: Future State''

Diana Prince of Themyscira's twin sister, molded from dark clay instead of Diana's light.

Created by Creator/RobertKanigher and Don Heck, Nubia first appeared in 1973 in Wonder Woman #204. In it, she was a mysterious stranger fully clad in armor who challenged Diana for the title of Wonder Woman, as [[ThereCanBeOnlyOne there can be only one]]. Originally envisioned as Wonder Woman's twin sister, formed through the same methods and at the same time as Diana but stolen as an infant by Ares and raised to oppose her Themysciran sisters. In the decades since, she was usually portrayed as just another Amazon, if she showed up at all and on Earth 23 she ''is'' Wonder Woman. \\

In the New Earth continuity Nu'bia is the guardian of Doom's Doorway and vary rarely sees her Themysciran fellows as she has spent decades rigorously guarding the door from its far side.\\
\\

Nubia made a resurgence in 2021, being the title character of her own YA graphic novel and backup story in Immortal Wonder Woman, both written by L. L. [=McKinney=] of ''A Blade So Black'' fame.\\

!!Tropes associated with Nubia include:
* AdaptationalNationality: DC Rebirth Nubia was initially a mortal woman from Madagascar named Zahavah, who had been betrayed and murdered by her lieutenant, who went on to kill the rest of her family. It was running on the theme similar to "Post Crisis", that the Amazons had been murdered women reborn to serve the Greek Pantheon. ''Infinite Frontier'' had her spring from "the well of souls" at the same time Diana was born, in an attempt to make her as close to being Diana's sister, as she was in the "Silver Age", without contradicting the then newest continuity.
* AdaptationalWeaponSwap: In her original incarnation, Nubia used a magic sword. Her ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' portrayal has her using the Staff of Understanding which can transform into a [[BladeOnARope bladed lasso]].
* AwesomeMomentOfCrowning: In "DC Rebirth" Nubia is among a group of Themyscira Amazons brawling with each other to decide who will substitute for Diana as "Wonder Woman" while the Quintessence are trying to get Diana to AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence. Hippolyta decides simplify things with a less violent, more orderly contest which Nubia wins, but instead of awarding her the title and job of "Wonder Woman", Hippolyta thinks Nubia's talents are better served as ''queen'' of Themyscira, and Hippolyta herself decides to venture out into "Man's World".
* AffirmativeActionLegacy
** Pre Crisis, Nubia is the second Wonder Woman, and the first black person to have the mantle (some later continuties have Phillipus substitute for Diana). ''Technically'' speaking, Nubia is the ''disputed'' Wonder Woman, and the actual second Wonder Woman comes five years later in the form of another white woman, [[ComicBook/{{Artemis}} Orana]], but Orana cheats for the title, gets herself killed on day one, and Diana comes to recocille with Nubia after the curse of Ares that causes them to fight is removed.
** {{Played straight}}er in ''DC Future State'', where Nubia and Yara Flor explicitly succeed Diana as Wonder Woman while Diana is absent. {{Defied|Trope}} in ''DC Infinite Frontier'', however, as Nubia's attempt to fill in for Diana is blocked by Hippolyta. Hippolyta has no idea Nubia is motivated in part from wanting to be accepted by the wider world, that Nubia [[DeliberateValuesDissonance hasn't recovered mentally from being rejected for first time in her centuries of existence]] for being ''[[FishOutOfWater black]]'', but Nubia does get to ''start'' finding the acceptance she craves as Themyscira's Queen, since Hippolyta leaves Nubia the throne.
* ArtifactOfDoom
** "Silver Age" Nubia wore a ring, which she didn't realize had been "{{blessed|withsuck}}" by Mars to make the wearer hate Diana.
** "Future State" Nubia wears Oshun's crown...which turns out to be half of a key that can unlock the prison of very angry and homicidal gods.
* ArtificialFamilyMember: In Pre-Crisis, Nubia was created the same way Diana was and was Hippolyta's second daughter.
* AssKickingLeadsToLeadership: During DC Rebirth Faruka II comes to Themyscira challenging Nubia's rule as queen, but aims to take it by suckering Nubia into a wager "secretly" stacked against her rather than try to fight Nubia, as Faruka openly if spitefully admits to respecting the decades/centuries Nubia spent guarding Doom's Doorway. However, between unexpected misdeeds of Faruka's own tribes women and Nubia's actions in defense of Themyscira against them and a flat out divine invader, Faruka II becomes so impressed and grateful that she declares Nubia Queen of "[[SnubByOmission both]]" amazon tribes. Nubia tries to reject it but ends up crowned queen of all three amazon tribes anyway.
* BlackViking: When she first appeared, Nubia was the only black Amazon and all the other Amazons were white women. Since the George Perez reboot, there have been more Amazon of diverse ethnicities.
* BraidsOfAction: While chasing The Manticore in Chicago she happened to have her hair braided. She successfully cornered and defeated the beast too.
* BreastPlate: Her original costume was a fully covering suit of armor, though the breasts were impractically molded to her form. Her subsequent costumes and armor tend to cover as much or less than a bathing suit and either have a random hole over her stomach or have the metal there be so tightly molded to her that it's astounding she can breath or move at all. Her Rebirth redesing of her first armor undoes this, though it now leaves her legs bare, seemingly as a tradeoff.
* CapturedSuperEntity: In Post Crisis DC TheAntigod Ahriman actually defeats mono god Ahura Mazda, but before Angra Mainyu can get about with flooding the world full of evil Nubia nearly kills him in revenge, as Ahura Mazda was her boyfriend, and takes him captive with the goal of either finishing the execution, using him to ressurect Ahura Mazada, or both.
* CerebusRetcon: More so a tone shifting {{revision}}. During the start of ''Comicbook/DCInfiniteFrontier'', Nubia's desire to substitute for Diana is presented from a comical angle, showcasing [[ProudWarriorRace how brutal Themyscira's society can be]] for all of [[ProudScholarRace their artsy fartsy ways and scientific pursuits]]. The Nubia Coronation reveals that Nubia had very personal reasons for wanting to fill in for Diana, and puts the fierceness with which for fought for the right in an entirely new light.
* ChangelingTale: (Earth-One) She was stolen by Ares rather than the fey, and not replaced, but her tale remains the same. Taken from her family and raised as something she's not, only to learn as an adult she's actually an Amazon and has a twin sister.
* CharacterFocus: Headlining her own stories for the first time in the five decades since her introduction allows Nubia some organic growth of her own.
* DarkestAfrica: How the Floating Island is portrayed in ''Wonder Woman'' #205 - full of black men in headdresses and plant skirts.
* DeadlyGaze: Her Post-Crisis counterpart could [[TakenForGranite turn people to stone]], a power that was gifted to her by the Gorgons.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: DC Rebirth sees Medusa's ghost escape through Doom's Doorway and start haunting Themyscira. Nubia offers Medusa her severed head back in exchange that she stop [[BodySurf possessing amazons]]. Medusa uses the head to restore her body, but then decides to continue her attack anyway. In the ensuing fight Io's "Staff Of Understanding" doesn't just allow Nubia to beat Medusa, it lets her ''[[BeatTheCurseOutOfHim beat Athena's gorgon curse out of Medusa]]'', at which point Medusa decides to become an amazon and serve Nubia.
* DreadlockWarrior: Post Crisis, Nu'Bia tended to wear dreadlocks, though she would tie them up if she was getting ready for a fight.
* DivineDate: Post Crisis Nubia found and frequently dated "mono god" Ahura Mazda on the otherside of Doom's Door, traveling through several "worlds of light and darkness" with him.
* EightiesHair: In the Silver Age Nubia has this look about a decade before the nineteen eighties, and given the Floating Ilse are constantly obscured by fog it would either have to naturally grow that way or she'd need some supernatural hair care products! "Rebirth" very briefly brings back her classic look before it and "Future State" lean into it even harder, giving Nubia her biggest hairdo yet and making it far less relaxed to the point it's almost a giant Afro puff. Themyscira seems to have some super strength relaxing agent in DC Rebirth, as Nubia's hair suddenly becomes much straighter during her coronation ceremony, and even then it starts curling again as she's dunked in the Hotsprings Of Gaia.
* EmotionalBruiser: During the silver age, the warlike lifestyle Ares was trying to impose on her island would drive Nubia to tears if she stopped to think about it. But that wouldn't stop her from fighting against it to maintain order.
* EngagementChallenge: Nubia fights one of the other Floating Islanders for her own hand in marriage in Wonder Woman #205.
* FightClubbing: She holds the record for most knockout victories within the secret fighting ring on Themyscira called the Victor's Circle.
* FireForgedFriends: In DC Rebirth Nubia respects Queen Faruka II and The Bana-Mighdall tribe from the start, but she can't stand Faruka from a social standpoint or to be around most of Faruka's tribeswomen for any extended amount of time, concluding they've been corrupted by man's world. Faruka II in turn respects Nubia as a warrior who competently defended Doom's Doorway, [[SkilledButNaive but sees her as a weak politician]] who will be easy to goad into ruin. Between both of them grieving the losses of loved ones, in Hippolyta and Atalanta, and fighting alongside one another in defense of Themyscira they do become legitimate friends.
* FlyingBrick: L. L. [=McKinney=] stated in an interview she restored Nubia's powerset, which was equal to Diana's with a few tweaks. While Diana didn't have true flight in the "Silver Age", she does in both the "Future State" and "Rebirth" continuities, and as such Nubia has flight, super strength and nigh-invulnerability in both lines. ''Rebirth'' Nubia needs some extra equipment to truly keep up with Diana and the Wonder Girls, but is otherwise a league above the other amazons.
* FrontLineGeneral: {{Downplayed|Trope}}, as Zahavah is seen commmanding her army from the rear. When they reached the capitol of the enemy nation however she sprinted to the front lines to directly engage the enemy and ensure she would be the one to execute their king.
* GenreSavvy: Post Crisis, she's read enough about the Greek Gods to know they put Doom's Doorway on Themyscira to entertain themselves and guarded it from the "wrong" direction specifically to stop it from being a source of drama on the island. After two {{cosmic retcon}}s, however, this plan stops working, and then Nubia falls back into the GenreBlindness of sticking to the rules with the expectation the gods will too.
* HarpOfFemininity: She learned to play a lyre to pass the time guarding Doom's Doorway.
* HealingShiv: During ''Trial Of The Amazons'' Nubia quickly smacks several amazons of The Bana-Mighdall tribe who had been turned against their Queen, Faruka II, by a HatePlague. She smacks them in their ''heads'' with the blade of her lasso, but the BlackBlood is not [[SymbolicBlood for censorship]], but to show a healing process is at work, purging the influence of Chaos. Nubia assures Faruka her subjects will not only recover from the blows but that their minds will be restored.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: When she was Nu'Bia in the post crisis, pre flashpoint continuity she led a life of adventure all her own, which included gaining the power of the stone gaze from the Gorgons and becoming the lover to the Zoroastrian god of light, Ahura Mazda.
* HorseOfADifferentColor: In DC Rebirth she didn't live a mundane life even as the mortal Zahavah. Her kingdom on Madagascar bred rather large saber toothed cheetah and horned zebras to ride.
* HotterAndSexier: After the Silver Age, every subsequent contuity tends to dress Nubia in something more revealing than her full plate armors. {{Zigzagged|trope}} With DC Rebirth, as Zahavah tends to keep [[HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic her helmet on]] when wearing a variation of Nubia's Silver Age armor but has no plating on her legs.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Rebirth Nubia has romantic feelings for Hippolyta, but Hippolyta is too much of a mother figure in Nubia's mind to act on them. This is why Nubia is a subtle but determined ShipperOnDeck for Philippus and Hippolyta, as Nubia feels ''someone'' should be giving Hippolyta what she deserves. After Hippolyta surprises Nubia by naming her Themyscira's new queen Nubia plans to use her new found authority to force them to spend more time being a happy couple, but [[DiabolusExMachina circumstances]] keep foiling Queen Nubia's plans.
* KindHeartedCatLover:
** She does let one thing pass from Doom's Doorway to Themyscira freely in DC Rebirth: an ordinary black cat. As queen the animal has free reign of the island, and it takes full advantage because it doesn't get along with Nubia's lover, Io.
** In her past life in ''Rebirth'' as Zahavah, she had a sabertoothed cheetah that helped her hunt...and once ate her family's dinner.
* KnowsTheRopes: In "Future State" she finds the lasso of truth Diana lost and puts it to use in the same manner Diana did. In "DC Rebirth" Nubia instead boxes the lasso up and puts it away until Diana comes back, but Io's "Staff Of Understanding" can turn into a bladed lasso when Nubia wills it to.
* LegacyCharacter: In "DC Future State" she becomes Wonder Woman in Yara Flor's absence, after Flor herself took the title in Diana's absence. Ultimately Diana does return.
* LongLostRelative: When she was first introduced, Nubia was Diana's long lost fraternal twin. In the "Future State" continuity she is presented as this once again, though there is a strong implication they are no longer twins.
* MeaningfulName: "Nubia" refers to a region in present-day Egypt and Sudan that was inhabited by people of Black African descent. Naturally, Nubia herself is Black like the region's inhabitants. Rebirth places her ''far'' away from the Mediterranean though, as Zahavaha originates from Madagascar. This gives one the impression that the amazons of "Rebirth" Themyscira just saw a black woman and called her the first thing that came to mind.
* MythologyGag
** While The Quintessence are trying to recruit Diana into their ranks at the start of "Infinite Frontier" Nubia is seen fighting with two other Amazons for the right to succeed Diana, since no one knows where she is. Hippolyta decides to settle things by forcing them to stare at the severed head of Medusa, proclaiming only someone truly selfless won't be turned to stone. Every Amazon except Nubia chickens out at the challenge...only for it to be revealed Hippolyta [[SecretTestOfCharacter was bluffing]] and had hidden the gorgon's head where no one would be able to find it. This is a reference to Nubia fighting Diana for the title of "Wonder Woman" in the "Silver Age" and "Post Crisis" Nu'Bia having "cold sight" that let her turn people to stone, gifted to her by the gorgons.
** During her coronation ceremony in Rebirth Nubia is dunked in the hotsprings of Gaea, which cause her to flashback all the way from her mortal life as Zahavah to her time guarding Doom's Doorway to her first return to "Man's World" as an Amazon. As the scenes cut she is seen where variations of her outfits from The Silver Age and Post Crisis continuties would match the time frame, despite being in completely different situations.
* OnlyOneName: Nubia has no last name in her non-Wonder Woman identities that we know of.
* ParentalAbandonment: We're told Hippolyta is her mother in the ''Future State'' continuity but not told why her mother has not been part of her life. In this tale Nubia grew up away from Themyscira, and it is said that at least some amazons considered Themyscira a lost cause after an invasion from the Dark Matter Multiverse, so it might have been for her safety...[[PracticallyDifferentGenerations but this would make Nubia MUCH younger than her sister.]]
* PowerCrystal: More like power stone, but The Staff of Understanding Io forged has a rock Hestia, Demeter and Athena all blessed inside of it, which is why the weapon can be used to help undo the Gorgon curse Athena put on Medusa.
* PragmaticHero: In Rebirth Nubia didn't ''just'' remove Medusa's curse out of compassion or pity, but because it's a lot safer to interrogate Medusa as a human than a gorgon. Medusa becoming a productive, law abiding citizen was deemed worth her lack of useful information regarding monsters more easily escaping through Dooms Doorway, however.
* PrecursorHeroes: Post-Crisis Nubia was the Amazons' champion before Diana was born. She was tasked with guarding Doom's Doorway and decided the best way to do so was from the other side to make sure nothing escaped. She was presumed dead by her fellow Amazons until her return.
* PrivatelyOwnedSociety: In Rebirth this is her opinion of society outside of Themyscira. After hearing of court cases where corporations could be considered people but their victims under circumstances could not, Nubia starts to consider "Man's World" an outdated term, but has yet to come up with [[TheArtifact anything as catchy]].
* PunctuationShaker: Technically the "Post Crisis" Amazon is named "Nu'Bia"
* RankScalesWithAsskicking: As Queen of Themyscira Nubia is the "just because it drives the narrative" version of "authority eqauls ass kicking". She ''was'' kicking the asses of two other amazons prior to being crowned queen, but the three women weren't fighting to be queen but ambassador, and Nubia isn't crowned queen for her ability to punch faces, but for her selflessness. Nonetheless, the fact Nubia's ass isn't as kickable as Hippolyta's leads those seeking to take Nubia's throne, such as Faruka II, to try to take it through wagers and subterfuge.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething
** As Zahavah, that "something" was "kill". She wasn't just a princess but also a hunter, a general, and an executioner.
** As Queen Nubia does not just go on diplomatic trips to the nations of "The Patriarch's World" but even visits countries on other planets via "The Hecatess". Nubia is also willing to personally restrain amazons who act up and throw down when trouble comes to the island. Nubia personally takes part investigating the FalseFlagOperation that has turned Canada and The United States against the newly unified Amazon Nation in ''Amazons Attack'' volume 2.
* ScaryMinoritySuspect: In DC Rebirth, Nubia's memories of man's world came from Madagascar in antiquity, where pretty much everyone was black and she was royalty and military. While Themyscira does develop emnity with a largely brown skinned tribe, Nubia spent most of her time as an amazon guarding Doom's Doorway, which has granted her nigh universal respect among both tribes. Nubia's completely unprepared for operating in a society where her physical apperance is a problem, just barely grasps the concept of {{profiling}} and never thought she herself would ever be so far down a social ladder to be assumed a criminal, even in a foreign nation. Martial Manhunter, an alien, albeit a mind reading alien all too familiar with [[FantasticRacism apperance fueled schisms on his homeworld]], has to lecture Nubia while impersonating a black lieutentant before she finally starts to get it, and it still takes Nubia decades to come to terms with this blow to her self esteem. So much so Nubia is later surprised when Diana makes first contant with barely humanoid life on the planet Eiereni and tells her they prefer Nubia to Diana when two tribes of Eiereni decide they want to engage more with amazons. Both Diana and the alien tribes are oblivious as to why this surprises Nubia, given she's since become ''queen'' of Themyscira.
* SeparatedAtBirth: Nubia's original origin restored by L. L. [=McKinney=], at least in ''Future State'' and her YA comic. She and Diana were twins and as a baby, Nubia was stolen away.
* SiblingRivalry: The Silver Age Nubia was Diana's rival to the title of Wonder Woman, though being siblings was only part of the reason. The main driving forces were the different islands they grew up on, and Ares's influence on Nubia's island in particular.
* SpockSpeak: Nubia is far more formal and verbose than Diana in the "Silver Age" and "Post Crisis" continuities. Rebirth Nubia still speaks more formally than Diana and most other amazons, but is much more laconic than the previous two takes.
* TookALevelInKindness: Zahavah cut down her enemies without a second though, only staying her hand when there were children in her path. Nubia prefers to restrain her foes if she can avoid cutting them.
* TeleportersAndTransporters: "Post Crisis" Nu'Bia could travel between different continents, worlds and planes of existence through gateways projected from her armor...[[Creator/{{Lionsgate}} her]] lion [[VisualPun insignia armor.]]
* ThereCanBeOnlyOne: The plot surrounding Diana and Nubia's first meeting in the Silver Age. Nubia was Wonder Woman of the Floating Island and challenged Diana, Wonder Woman of Paradise Island, to a series of contests to determine who the one and only Wondy really was.
* ThouShaltNotKill
** Not even wearing a mind altering ring cursed by the god of war himself could make Silver Age Nubia take a human life, and she would have rather not killed anything ever if she could help it. This is why Nubia and Diana never had a decisive victory over the other, as they were both too squemish about killing and ended up wrestling to stalemates.
** [[BatManGambit This]], moreso than the stated reason of "selflessness", was why Hippolyta selected Nubia to ascend to the throne of Theymscira in her place. [[spoiler:Nubia was the queen most likely to send Artemsis to Transformation Island instead of executing her in the event Artemis proved sloppy enough to get caught [[ThanatosGambit assassinating Hippolyta]], which Artemis indeed was.]]
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: There's been about as many Nubia incarnations that aren't Diana's sister as there are where she is.
* WarRefugees: Strongly implied to be this in ''DC Future State'' as it's said the amazons have neglected Themyscira following an invasion from The Dark Matter Multiverse and that Nubia has spent her formative years among mortals after settling in Atlanta Georgia.
* WonderChild: Her Pre-Crisis version. Desiring a child, a queen was instructed to mold two infants out of clay, and then these children were given life by a quartet of goddesses and a god.
* WouldntHurtAChild: Zahavah was merciless when it came to dealing with the enemies of her kingdom, with the exception of children, which she swore not to harm.
* YouNeedToGetLaid: During the first night of hosting the two sister tribes in ''Trial Of The Amazons'' Nubia insists she has the situation under control, to the point she orders Philippus to stop trying to help and spend more time with Hippolyta.

[[AC:Wonder Woman '77 version]]
[[quoteright:233:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nubia.jpg]]

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: A former San Francisco cop and friend of Steve Trevor's who ended up leaving the force while undercover when she fell in love with and married Fausta Grables, the leader of the terrorist cell she was infiltrating and later broke her own heart when she turned in her love due to her sense of right and wrong rather than Diana's twin sister.
* AdaptationNameChange: This version of Nubia started out life as a US citizen with the name Carolyn Hamilton.
* AdaptationalSexuality: The first version of the character to be unequivocally queer.
* BecomingTheMask: Officer Hamilton fell in love with the leader of the terrorist cell she was undercover in and joined up for real due to it, though she eventually turned them in as her conscience wouldn't let her alone.
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: In the series, Carolyn Hamilton appears to just be a one-shot reformed villain; the comic continuation reveals that she becomes Nubia.
* FairCop: A beautiful (former) San Francisco police officer.
* LesbianJock: A lesbian who is incredibly fond of and good at an array of martial arts even prior to becoming an Amazon.
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: This version of Nubia started out as a San Francisco native by the name of Carolyn Hamilton before becoming an Amazon and adopting the name Nubia and is therefore not Diana's twin sister nor the daughter of Queen Hippolyta and her partner Philippus.

* DoesNotLikeMen: She doesn't necessarily hate men, but she's been victimized at the hands of too many men to ever trust one again and is distraught at the mere idea of having to see any on Themyscira.
* RaceLift: Oenoe is changed from a red-haired black woman to an Asian woman in ''ComicBook/WonderWomanInfiniteFrontier''.

Once upon a time when Diana returned to Themyscira, she found her position as Wonder Woman challenged by a fiery redheaded Amazon who thought she would get better results in changing Man's World with her more aggressive attitude. Said redhead only then going to die shortly thereafter but not before gaining some respect for the challenges Diana faced. Only we're not talking about [[{{Expy}} Artemis]] here but rather the character she was based of Orana, who unlike [[KilledOffForReal her successor would stay dead for the remainder of the Pre-Crisis Wonder Woman title]].

A new version of Orana was re-introduced into Wonder Woman comics in 2020, now depicted as the guardian of Themyscria's armory.

\\

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: The Silver Age Earth One Orana was needlessly aggressive, self centered and would have been guilty of negligent homicide of dozens of Amazons, of millions if not billions of humans, if not for Diana's intervention and then proceded alienate the people of "man's world" she had sworn to guide and protect. Every subsequent version of Orana is at worst an uninteresting introvert or a whiny underachiever, and usually a perfectly decent member of society.
* BreastPlate: Her Wonder Woman outfit consisted of a metal breast plate with no shoulder straps and a metal skirt. Prior to the "Post Crisis" Artemis this was the single most skimpy version of the Wonder Woman costume and remains the most painful looking.
* ColonyDrop: The final stage of the challnege to Wonder Woman's title and position was a race through space on asteroids, asteroids Orana started kicking towards the planet Earth, causing Diana to double back to intercept the resulting meteors. Hippolyta disqualified Orana, stating her willingness to endanger so many lives proved she was unworthy of being Wonder Woman but the gods, at Mars's insistence, overruled her.
* DiabolusExMachina: Orana was denounced and disqualified for her actions during the challenge she asked for, as she endangered the lives of several amazon sisters and ultimately the planet Earth itself, only for the Olympic gods at the insistence of Ares, to overrule Hippolyta and force her to make Orana the new Wonder Woman. Hippolyta was ready to defy the gods but Diana told her mother to stand down, and even vowed to do all she could to ensure Orana would become worthy of the role. After Orana gets herself killed Ares wants the gods to punish Diana for not doing a good enough job guiding her but at this point the other gods are tired of him.
* FieryRedhead: The original one of the Amazons, at least on the Silver Age Earth One. She's so passionate about her own self advancement that it ends up putting everyone around her in danger.
* TheBusCameBack: A new version of her was re-introduced into Wonder Woman comics in [[ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth Wonder Woman #750]] under Steve Orlando.
* {{Expy}}: Would get two in the [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 Post-Crisis]] and [[ComicBook/WonderWoman2011 the New 52]] versions of Wonder Woman. Artemis and Aleka respectively fulfilling her niche as the [[FieryRedhead fiery redheaded]] Amazon who has a contentious relationship with Diana, though both sticking around longer than Orana ever did.
* KilledOffForReal: She was killed in the issue following her debut and remained so for the remainder of the Pre-Crisis continuity.
* LegacyCharacter: Introduced as a short-lived one. Aside from Nubia, she's the first person to have taken the title of Wonder Woman after Diana.
* RaceLift: Her re-introduction to modern comics sees her now as a red-headed woman of color.
* SuckSessor: Her short-tenure as Wonder Woman was not a succesful one.
* UnwittingPawn: She unknowingly serves as a means for Mars to get Diana out of the picture. Without her entire challenge would have been an averted disaster and a lesson in humility.

->''It's true I'm an architect [...] but my area of expertise is in the design of individual buildings, where I try for simple harmony and symmetry. Themyscira's city planner was Consivia, and she perished long ago, defending Doom's Doorway.''
-->'''Timandra''', ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'' #38


The Amazon's chief architect following the death of Consivia. She has interest in the ways architectural design has developed the world over while also wanting to preserve the aesthetic Consivia created on Themyscira.\\

* ColorCodedCharacters: Timandra always wears green.
* DeadArtistsAreBetter: She invokes this in a way, heaping praise for the design of Themysciran on her long deceased mentor.
* HumbleHero: She defers when anyone wants to praise her for aspects of Themysciran architectural design, instead claiming Consivia is responsible for the pleasing aesthetics of the island even though Timandra has been acting as an architect there for centuries.

* RidiculouslyAverageGuy: A few adaptions expand his DistressedDude to having no skills or special traits other than being the first man Diana had met. To the point that some characters wonders what does she sees in him.

** Rebirth Etta Candy has noted cardio issues, especially when it comes to stairs, but she still regularly exercises and has plenty of combat skill. Enough to beat the piss out of Plastique while still recovering from the life saving surgery Etta needed after being hit by the shockwave of one of Plastique's bombs.

* * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething
** As Zahavah, that "something" was "kill". She wasn't just a princess but also a hunter, a general, and an executioner.
** As Queen Nubia does not just go on diplomatic trips to the nations of "The Patriarch's World" but even visits countries on other planets via "The Hecatess". Nubia is also willing to personally restrain amazons who act up and throw down when trouble comes to the island. Nubia personally takes part investigating the FalseFlagOperation that has turned Canada and The United States against the newly unified Amazon Nation in ''Amazons Attack'' volume 2.

** {{Played straight}}er in ''DC Future State'', where Nubia and Yara Flor explicitly succeed Diana as Wonder Woman while Diana is absent. {{Defied|Trope}} in ''DC Infinite Frontier'', however, as Nubia's attempt to fill in for Diana is blocked by Hippolyta. Hippolyta has no idea Nubia is motivated in part from wanting to be accepted by the wider world, that Nubia [[CultureShock hasn't recovered mentally from being rejected for first time in her centuries of existence]] for being ''black'', but Nubia does get to ''start'' finding the acceptance she craves as Themyscira's Queen, since Hippolyta leaves Nubia the throne.

* AffirmativeActionLegacy: The second Wonder Woman (not counting [[ComicBook/{{Artemis}} Orana]] who died on day one), and the first black person to have the mantle (some later continuties have Phillipus substitute for Diana)

* DefeatMeansFriendship: DC Rebirth sees Medusa's ghost escape through Doom's Door and start haunting Themyscira. Nubia offers Medusa her severed head back in exchange that she stop [[BodySurf possessing amazons]]. Medusa uses the head to restore her body, but then decides to continue her attack anyway. In the ensuing fight Io's "Staff Of Understanding" doesn't just allow Nubia to beat Medusa, it lets her ''beat Athena's Gorgo curse out of Medusa'', at which point Medusa decides to become an amazon and serve Nubia.

* FireForgedFriends: In DC Rebirth Nubia respects Queen Faruka II and The Bana-Mighdall tribe from the start, but she can't stand Faruka from a social standpoint or to be around most of Faruka's tribeswomen for any extended amount of time, concluding they've been corrupted by man's world. Faruka II in turn respects Nubia as a warrior who competently defended Doom's Doorway, but sees her as a weak politician who will be easy to goad into ruin. Between both of them grieving the losses of loved ones, in Hippolyta and Atalanta, and fighting alongside one another in defense of Themyscira they do become legitimate friends.
* FlyingBrick: L. L. [=McKinney=] stated in an interview she restored Nubia's powerset, which was equal to Diana's with a few tweaks. While Diana didn't have true flight in the "Silver Age", she does in both the "Future State" and "Rebirth" continuities, and as such Nubia has flight, super strength and nigh-invulnerability in both lines.

* HealingShiv: During ''Trial Of The Amazons'' Nubia quickly smacks several amazons of The Bana-Mighdall tribe who had been turned against their Queen, Faruka II, by a hate plague. She smacks them in their ''heads'' with the blade of her lasso, but the BlackBlood is not [[SymbolicBlood for censorship]], but to show a healing process is at work, purging the influence of Chaos. Nubia assures Faruka her subjects will not only recover from the blows but that their minds will be restored.

* HotterAndSexier: After the Silver Age, every subsequent contuity tends to dress Nubia in something more revealing than her full plate armors. {{Zigzagged|trope}} With DC Rebirth, as Zahavah tends to keep [[HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic her helmet on ]]when wearing a variation of her Silver Age armor but has no plating on her legs.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Rebirth Nubia has romantic feelings for Hippolyta, but Hippolyta is too much of a mother figure in Nubia's mind to act on them. This is why Nubia is a subtle but determined ShipperOnDeck for Phillipus and Hippolyta, as Nubia feels ''someone'' should be giving Hippolyta what she deserves. After Hippolyta surprises Nubia by naming her Themyscira's new queen Nubia plans to use her new found authority to force them to spend more time being a happy couple, but [[DiabolusExMachina circumstances]] keep foiling Queen Nubia's plans.

** In her past life in ''Rebirth'' as Zahavah she had a sabertoothed cheetah that helped her hunt...and at her family's dinner.

* LongLostRelative: When she was first introduced, Nubia was this to Diana. In the "Future State" continuity she is presented as this once again.
* MeaningfulName: "Nubia" refers to a region in present-day Egypt and Sudan that was inhabited by people of Black African descent. Naturally, Nubia herself is Black like the region's inhabitants.

** While The Quintessence are trying to recruit Diana into their ranks at the start of "Infinite Frontier" Nubia is seen fighting with two other amazons for the right to succeed Diana, since no one knows where she is. Hippolyta decides to settle things by forcing them to stare at the severed head of Medusa, proclaiming only someone truly selfless won't be turned to stone. Every Amazon except Nubia chickens out at the challenge...only for it to be revealed Hippolyta [[SecretTestOfCharacter was bluffing]] and had hidden the gorgon's head where no one would be able to find it. This is a reference to Nubia fighting Diana for the title of "Wonder Woman" in the "Silver Age" and "Post Crisis" Nu'Bia having "cold sight" that let her turn people to stone like a gorgon.
** During her coronation ceremony in Rebirth Nubia is dunked in the hotsprings of Gaea, which cause her to flashback all the way from her mortal life as Zahavah to her time guarding Doom's Doorway to her first return to "Man's World" as an amazon. As the scenes cut she is seen where variations of her outfits from The Silver Age and Post Crisis continuties, despite being in completely different situations.

* PoliticallyActivePrincess: As Zahavah she wasn't just a princess but also a hunter, a general and an executioner.

* RankScalesWithAsskicking: As Queen of Themyscira Nubia is the "just because it drives the narrative" version of "authority eqauls ass kicking". She ''was'' kicking the asses of two other amazons prior to being crowned queen, but the three women weren't fighting to be queen but ambassador, and Nubia isn't crowned queen for her ability to punch faces, but for her selflessess. Nonetheless, the fact Nubia's ass isn't as kickable as Hippolyta's leads those seeking to take Nubia's throne, such as Faruka II, to try to take it through wagers and subterfuge.
* ScaryMinoritySuspect: In DC Rebirth Nubia's memories of man's world came from Madagascar in antiquity, where pretty much everyone was black and she was royalty and military. While Themyscira does develop emnity with a largely brown skinned nation, Nubia spent most of her time as an amazon guarding Dooms Doorway, which has granted her nigh universal respect among them. Nubia's completely unprepared to for operating in a society where her physical apperance is a problem, just barely grasps the concept of {{profiling}} and never thought she herself would ever be so far down social ladder to be assumed a criminal, even in a foreign nation. Martial Manhunter, an alien, albeit a mind reading alien all too familiar with [[FantasticRacism apperance fueled schisms on his homeworld]], has to lecture her while impersonate a black lieutentant before she finally starts to get it, and it still takes Nubia decades to come to terms with this blow to her self esteem. So much so Nubia is later surprised when Diana makes first contant with barely humanoid life on the planet Eiereni and tells her they prefer Nubia's to Diana when they decide they want to engage more with amazons. Both Diana and the aliens are oblivious as to why this surprises Nubia, given she's since become ''queen'' of Themyscira.

* TookALevelInKindness: Zahavah cut down her enemies without a second though, only staying her hand when there were children in her path. Nubia prefers the restrain her foes if she can avoid cutting them.

** This, moreso than the stated reason of "selflessness" was why Hippolyta selected Nubia to ascend to the throne of Theymscira in her place. [[spoiler:Nubia was the queen most likely to send Artemsis to transformation island instead of executing her in the event Artemis proved sloppy enough to get caught [[ThanatosGambit assassinating Hippolyta]], which Artemis indeed was.]]

* WonderChild: Her Pre-Crisis version. Desiring a child a queen was instructed to mold two infants out of clay, and then these children were given life by a quartet of goddesses and a god.

* YouNeedToGetLaid: During the first night of hosting the two sister tribes in ''Trial Of The Amazons'' Nubia insists she has the situation under control, to the point she orders Phillipus to stop trying to help and spend more time with Hippolyta.

* VictoryByEndurance: Post Crisis Hippolyta and Artemis team up against Duke Mephisto Saturno and Saturnette. While Artemis defeats Saturno by [[RingOut evicting him from the Earth]], Hippolyta take the opposite approach by drawing Saturnette to the Sonoran Desert and dueling her until Saturnette collapses. This takes days to accomplish and Hippolyta is shown to have developed a tan!

** The Bow Of Ra will only accept Shim Tar of the Bana-Migdhall Amazons, and even then only women of the tribe it deems worthy of being Shim Tar. If the tribe nominates an unworthy candidate by its standards it will merely reject her. If she doesn't even have that much going for her it will immolate her. All of the Egyptian gods can also wield the Bow Of Ra, they just don't need to. The exceptions are when the Egyptian gods override the bow's decisions and let someone who is neither of their "pantheon" nor a worthy Amazon wield it.

** In the Rebirth continuity The Bow Of Ra boosts Artemsis's physical attributes, including her strength, to make her capable of wielding it properly. Without it she's weaker than Diana, the Wonder Girls and Nubia, even after Nubia's Coronation as queen of all three tribes grants all the Bana-Mighdall all of the amazon gifts, but still stronger than most others.

* ForcedTransformation: Morgana first comes into conflict with Diana when Morgana turns Henry, a classmate of Diana's employee Cathy Perkins, into a frog to prevent Henry from performing a spell that would send her back home before Morgana's had her fill exploring Henry's world. It's the one spell of Morgana's I-Ching can't undo, but a kiss from Henry's girlfriend ends up breaking it.

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: After I-Ching reveals he countered her TimeStandsStill spell, Morgana gives up and agrees to return from winch she came...after she gives Diana Prince one last parting kick to the jaw.
* KungFuWizard: Even without her magic Morgana is almost as skilled a wrestler as the Earth One Diana Prince, and manages to defeat her in hand to hand combat after [[ActuallyADoomBot using a magical double to determine]] Diana Prince was primarily a wrestler at that time.
* MesACrowd: Morgana can create duplicates of herself that the {{depower}}ed Diana cannot tell from the real thing by sight, sound or touch. She uses one such double to learn Diana's fighting style [[ActuallyADoomBot and mocks Diana for thinking shes won.]]
* MobileMenace: Diana's out to get Morgana to undo a curse she put on a student named Henry, who accidentally summoned Morgana while thinking nothing in a $1.98 book could be real. Morgana proceeds to "poof" away whenever she gets bored of her current surroundings, however, and Diana only keeps track of her by all the chaos Morgana causes do to her lack of understand of modern cities. That and the marching band Morgana is forcing to follow her around.
* OhMyGods: What her religion, if any is, isn't clear, her swears include "Blood of Banaal!" and "By the britches of Beelzebub!"

* RedheadInGreen: Morgana exclusively dressed in green dresses until Diana gives her a black one as a sort of payment for services.

* SquishyWizard: Morgana's ability to affect the world with magic is a lot more powerful than her physical body otherwise. It does not matter a whole lot though, as she encounters the Earth One Diana, after she lost her powers and before she's completed her training with I-Ching.

* WhiteAndGreyMorality: Everything Morgana does in her initial appearance is either meant to be helpful or temporary for her own amusement, and she proves more ignorant and immature than actively malicious. Then it turns out she's after the same criminal Supergirl is and becomes friends with her and Diana.

%%* OurMinotaursAreDifferent: He is a Kythotaur, and built like his distant relation the Minotaur.%%Meaning?

* LegacyCharacter: After Diana died and ascended to godhood, Post Crisis, Hippolyta became Wonder Woman in her place. She traveled back in time to fight alongside the Justice Society, long before Diana's time, making her kind of the first Wonder Woman and making Diana a legacy heroine herself. This time travel aspect of the legacy was [[CanonDisContinuity ignored by subsequent writers]] even though it, among other things, finally solved the {{continuity snarl}} of Donna Troy because the events that lead up to the reveal were disliked. Then it was done away with when DC rebooted its history during the ComicBook/{{New 52}}.

* CassandraTruth: For the first twenty years of her life Diana is only slightly more powerful than the other amazons, with her most notable trait being [[SuperToughness survival]] in the face of Philippus's extra harsh {{training|fromhell}}, so no one takes Philippus's concerns about Diana becoming far too powerful far too quickly seriously. By the time Diana ''is'' powerful enough to pose an exestensial threat to the island, Philippus's lessons on restraint were hammered into her, so Philippus ends up much better than the mythological Cassandra on that point. On the otherhand no one take's Philippus's warnings about The Circle's insanity seriously either and this [[AppatheticCitizens lack of concern]] almost gets Philippus ''and'' Diana killed.

* CombatPragmatist: In the Post Crisis continuity Philippus shoots a young Diana in the back of the leg after arranging for a boulder to come rolling down a hill as a distraction. This all because she felt Diana was becoming too reliant on her wonderful powers and that Diana needed to be taught that her divine gifts did not make her untouchable.

* PermaShave: Post Crisis, Hippolyta engages in a days long duel with Saturnette that results in Hippolya developing a tan under the intense sunlight of the Sonoran Desert. Her legs and arm pits remain bare, however.

** [[spoiler:DC Infinite Frontier sees Hippolyta become the patron goddess of all three amazon tribes. As a goddess she later interrupts The Wizard Shazam when he tries to get Billy and Mary Batson to share his gifts by saying Mary will no longer get second hand treatment. This is in reference to the original Fawcett Comics before DC acquired Captain Marvel, when Hippolyta was among the people who empowered Mary Marvel. Something that had been [[AdaptedOut lost]] in the previous DC continuities when they decied to integrated Captain Marvel/SHAZAM.]]

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She isn't above getting her hands dirty (and, in one bit of comics continuity, was Wonder Woman during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII).

** Her exact ethnicity is never specified but the Bana-Mighdall Amazons are from Egypt and have been there since antiquity, making her red hair and pale skin really stick out when she's with her tribe. DC Rebirth makes her skin tone more peachy, and ''Comicbook/TrialOfTheAmazons'' sprinkles in a larger numver of peachy skinned Bana-Mighdall, though they still have a higher ration of black and brown women than Themyscira.

* AdaptationalWeaponSwap: In her original incarnation, Nubia used a magic sword. Her ''Comicbook/DCRebirth'' portrayal has her using the Staff of Understanding which can transform into a [[BladeOnARope bladed lasso]].

[[caption-width-right:350:[[BehindEveryGreatMan Behind every great]] Franchise/WonderWoman...]]

A military man and intelligence operative, Steve Trevor is classically associated with his longtime ally (and frequent love interest) Franchise/WonderWoman. In most iterations, he's the first man Diana has ever seen, and is considered a rare male ally to the island of Themyscira.[[SlidingTimescale Throughout the years]], Steve's involvement in the Wonder Woman mythos has varied, most notably in the [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 post-Crisis years of Wonder Woman]] he was aged up and removed as a romantic possibility for Diana. Though originally introduced as a UsefulNotes/WorldWarII-era figure, his origin has taken him as far back as UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, or into the present-day.

* TheArtifact: Since Marston left, the book has been adrift, but lingers (especially in adaptations) based on the name retaining some currency. Completely averted as of the ''Comicbook/{{New 52}}'' and ''Comicbook/DCRebirth'', however, where Trevor has been upgraded to being the DCU's version of ComicBook/NickFury.

* SingleTargetSexuality: While Franchise/WonderWoman has had several boyfriends, and at least one girlfriend in most continuities Steve Trevor is interested in her and her alone, with exceptions being his post-Crisis [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 iteration]] who was interested in Etta Candy and Etta Candy alone and his AdaptationalJerkass New 52 iteration.

* WorkingWithTheEx: With Diana in the Comicbook/{{Justice League|OfAmerica2013}} in the Comicbook/{{New 52}} Universe.

Former vigilante and member of the Comicbook/SuicideSquad. Diana's coworker in Washington DC. He eventually learned her secret and became her lover. Holds the honor of being the only man to be officially inducted as an Amazon, with the title: Sir Thomas of Cleveland.

** {{Invoke|Trope}} by Diana, who felt Super Woman was unworthy to wield the lasso of submission and kept it locked away until deciding Artemis was a worthy wielder.

* SaveYourDeity: After Hera declares that the gods are dying during the Wonder Woman/Shazam ''Lazarus Planet'' tie ins, then removes the wards protecting Themyscira while proclaiming the amazons will soon be too and [[NayTheist Faruka II taunts the Themyscira amazons that their patron goddess are worthless]], Philippus is DrivenToSuicide, believing that such a gesture done in faith can save the island and the ascended Hippolyta. Hippolyta arrives just in time to stop Philippus and save the island as it comes under seige from Hades.

* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Morgana's rumored to be the daughter of Morgaine Le Fay and so powerful her own legendary mother fears what an unchecked Morgana may do. Morgana for her part, backs these rumors up. Morgana also has dark red hair and light green eyes.

* PartsUnknown: Where exactly Morgana is being called from was never specified. Morgana claims to be the daugher of Morgaine Le Fay, but that just raises further questions since Silver Age Morgain Le Fay definitely lived on Earth and Morgana is almost completely unfamiliar with the planet, coming from her own world with it's own separate timeline.

* ForcedTransformation: Morgana first comes into conflict with Diana when Morgana turns Henry, a classmate of Diana's employee Cathy Perkins, into a frog to prevent Henry from performing a spell that would send her back home before Morgana's had her fill exploring Henry's world. It's the one spell of Morgana's I-Ching can't undo, but a kiss from Henry's girlfriend ends up breaking it.

* InstantHarem: Morgana cast a love charm on an obsese New Yorker that causes men to flock to her. This unfortunately causes a crowd that gets in Diana's way.

* AmbiguoslyHuman: Morgana appears to be human, but has indeterminate parentage and does not come from Earth, like her alleged mother Morgaine Le Fay. While Morgana reveals Supergirl villain Zond is just a man in a stupid mask using Morgaine Le Fay's spell book to cause trouble, Morgana's own magic seems to be innate and a lot more powerful than anything that can be done with the book.
