* AdviceBackfire: Diana had rightfully shown suspicion from The Olympians and associated gods after learning of their involvement in the MilkmanConspiracy. When Hera's temple was seen flying over Washington DC in ''Wonder Woman 795'', Diana called for backup while entering it, in case it was a trap. That call was answered by Yara Flor, who convinces Diana to use her diplomatic skills to plead their case to Hera directly during ''Lazarus Planet Revenge Of The Gods''. This results in Diana being bound and [[ForcedToWatch psychologically tortured]]. Little wonder Diana declines Yara's offer to help in the next arc.



** Queen Atalanta [[{{Foreshadowing}} reveals the monsters behind Doom's Doorway have been conditioned to hate amazons, even those that haven't had in direct interaction with amazons]], as [[JerkassGods The Olympians]]' way of [[DisproportionateRetribution punishing the amazons for slipping up thousands of year ago.]] While the Bana-Mighdall scoff at The Esquecida tribe for daring to call themselves amazons upon the two groups' formal introduction to one another, Yara Flor does have the blood of a "legitimate" amazon in her, and it lead to a monster unfamiliar to The Esquecida crossing the ocean and destroying The Amazon Rain Forest in search of her when breaches of Doom's Doorway became more common. This in turn lead to that formal introduction as The Esquecida sought answers. In this case though EVERYONE with amazon blood is an apocalypse maiden. Flor [[ContrivedCoincidence is simply the first not living with the two splinter tribes to be targeted]].

* PsychologicalProjection: During ''Amazons Attack"(volume 2) Yara Flor openly admits to being arrogant, and claims that Diana must be just as arrogant because Diana thinks herself above a SideKick, unlike Superman and Batman. [[SelfServingMemory Yara was of course forgetting that Diana called on Yara specifically]] when Hera declared war on mankind and removed the wards of Themyscira

* StatuesqueStunner: Going by Jamal Campbell's ''Wonder Woman 795'' cover, Yara is about two or three inches shorter than Diana, around an imperial 5'10/9. This is taller than the average man, [[DependingOnTheWriter may]] or [[DependingOnTheArtist may]] not [[ContinuitySnarl be]] taller than Donna Troy and is far taller than Cassie Sandsmark.

* BookDumb: In the ''Future State'' continuity Yara Flor is so unlearned she doesn't even grasp basic gender identifiers of her own national language that ''Superman'' has to correct her on. In the ''DC Infinite Frontier'' continuity she receives formal scholastic tutoring, language included, by Eros in a YearInsideHourOutside loop. She is actually supposed to be at good linguists in "Rebirth" and mistakes can be chalked up to BlindIdiotTranslation on the part of the writers. However, that still implies Yara was just as book dumb as her ''Future State'' counterpart before Hera put her in "school".

* ObliviouslySuperpowered: Infinite Frontier sees Yara get pulled into a river and spend so much time under water she falls asleep, having no idea why people think her instant recovery is special. She's also prone to causing more injury than intended to people she doesn't like and causing unintentional property destruction, attributing it to bad luck. It takes a multitude of other super natural beings spelling it out for Yara to get it.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In ''Future State'' Yara Flor was [[UnscrupulousHero still]] committing [[WellIntentionedExtremist crimes]] well after taking the title of Wonder Woman, and only began respecting laws outside of her tribe after illegal activities caused a forest fire in the Amazon, she started investigating the corruption in Brazil, and it turned out to be a [[WorldHalfEmpty global problem]]. In ''DC Rebirth'' she still has a criminal record, but it's nothing she's proud of and Yara has been ''trying'' to go straight in adulthood, before getting mixed up in any Amazon business. She's also a lot more doting and patient with Jerry, who [[AmusingInjuries routinely bites her]] in [[AdaptationalJerkass Rebirth]].

** In "Rebirth" it's revealed by Potira that Yara's whole life has [[DiabolusExMachina been steered by it]]. The Olympians were not happy with Aella breaking away from the Amazons to join a new tribe in the rain forest of another continent, and especially unhappy with her bearing the child of a god none of them had ever heard of before. Eros had been sent to execute Aella and Yara, but he hesitated at killing a child, even one strong enough to wound him. Nonetheless, Hera still wavers between wanting Yara dead in Tartarus or wanting Yara as her champion since that mysterious heritage ''has'' made her very strong.

* ForgedByTheGods: In ''DC Rebirth'' the suit Yara most commonly wears was a ceremonial outfit Eros put together for Yara when she was to be presented before Hera and become her champion. She rejected Hera's offer but kept the clothes because she thought they looked nice. This is quite different from ''DC Future State'', where it was a uniform ''everyone'' in Yara's tribe wore. The Esquecida do start copying elements of Yara's "fashion" by ''Trial Of The Amazons'' and Diana does [[{{smashthesymbol}} snap]] Yara's tiara and reshape it an Amazonian mold, but Yara's getup is neither fully converted nor fully adopted in "DC Infinite Frontier".

Even after learning how to use them properly as boleadoras she has no idea how to use the powers that are supposed to come with them.

* SmugSuper: In "Future State" she had this pretty bad, needing to be humbled twice in a row by Thanatos and Hades, and still not getting the message really until she saw Kuat abuse ''his'' powers. "Rebirth" Yara is nowhere near as bad, but still gets told off by Phillippus and Donna Troy for wasting time posing while Themyscira is about to be destroyed, and while admitting they're right informs them that she's going to make them bask in her glory once the island is saved.

** Both Queen Faruka of The Bana-Mighdall and Queen Hippolyta of Themyscira believe that Hera will turn Yara Flor into a HumanWeapon that will destroy their tribe and each queen sends two assassins into Brazil to find and kill her before that can happen. Artemis also goes to kill Yara Flor, against Faruka's wishes, not wanting her general to do what her assassins should, but Artemis then gets chewed out by Faruka for finding Yara Flor and not killing her, even more for suggesting Yara is not an enemy even after Yara rejects Hera's offer and is nearly killed for it.

This in turn lead to the formal introduction as The Esquecida sought answers. In this case though EVERYONE with amazon blood is an apocalypse maiden.

** In ''Wonder Woman 796'' Eros has left Yara on her back and proceeds to defeat Diana by putting her under his charm and the narrator flat out states "humanity doesn't stand a chance". Yara rises and attacks him again only to be startled as Zeus drops a Thunderbolt right infront of Yara that vaporises Eros while Zeus scolds Hera for starting another war without his permission. Unfortunately for Yara, Zeus isn't a ConflictKiller this time, as Hera had a contingence plan if he interfered again, but he does prevent the heroes from being defeated and allow them to stop Hera later.

%%Hey you!
%%Yes, you.
%%If you're thinking of adding or changing any tropes on Donna's page, please do that over on Sandbox/WonderGirlDonnaTroy. I'd appreciate the help in having that expanded instead of constantly having to check this page's edit history.
%%Thanks!



* AbhorrentAdmirer: Teen Titans villain Bogeyman has always had a special interest in Donna Troy, and became more attracted to her after [[AmazonChaser she flattened him in battle]]. Donna for her part can barely stomach the sight of him.
* ActionHeroine: Donna Troy tends to be less of a SpiritedCompetitor ''and'' less of a TechnicalPacifist than Diana, neither enjoying combat as much nor being patient enough for Diana's talk-restrain-wound-kill routine if given a reason to swing, usually setting for simply leaving the enemy's body mostly in one piece, if she can afford to. This puts Donna Troy more inline with most amazons of Themyscira in actions, if not in words.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the ComicBook/{{New 52}} she was created in-universe to be a replacement for Diana by Amazons who disliked their new Queen's decision to allow their Amazon brothers to live amongst them. An issue of ''Wonder Woman'' had her leading a cohort of Amazons in slaughtering many of them. [[spoiler: ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' has revealed Donna does have a past and was ''not'' created as a blank shell, subverting this trope by implying Donna was GoodAllAlong and subjected to mental tampering just like Diana. Likewise, with the reveal that the New 52 Amazons were fakes, it's implied by association that the Amazon men were similarly not real.]]
* AlternateSelf
** Dark Angel is an alternate Donna Troy who was raised by The Anitmoniter rather than Diana and Hippolyta, resents Donna Troy for her better life, and is determined to replace Donna's history of a loving family with one of suffering.
** Donna's feud with Dark Angel was supposed to conclude with the removal of ''all'' other Donna Troys besides them from the entire DC multiverse. Despite this Belthera finds and recruits another alternate Donna Troy during ''Countdown To Final Crisis''. A Donna Troy who snapped and murdered the Diana who adopted her for Diana's lasso in a fit of envious rage. While the Donna we follow [[ShadowArchetype also]] envies Diana, she loves her sister despite it and [[TalkToTheFist shuts her counterpart up real quick]] when she insists familicide will make her feel better too.
* AnIcePerson: Moreso a cold person, as Donna Troy could cause temperatures to plummet during her time as a moon goddess, and raising them back up was far harder.
* ArtificialFamilyMember: One version of her birth has her being a magical created clone of Diana to act as a friend. Since Amazons often refer to each other as sisters, Diana saw Donna as one as well.
* BackFromTheDead: Donna Troy died at a ComicBook/{{Superman}} robot's hands in ''ComicBook/TitansYoungJusticeGraduationDay'' #3 and was reborn right before ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis''.
* BadassCape: Wore one while serving as goddess of the moon. Combined with light-dark manipulating powers that came with the position and the firmanent The Titans of Myth had gifted her, Donna could create the illusion she had caused night to fall while bearing down on someone.
* BarrierWarrior: As a Titan Seed Donna Troy could create force fields.
* BashBrothers: With Diana, Cassie, and in a cross-gender example, Dick Grayson.
* BlingOfWar: Sported a silver suit of Greek-style armor in one arc, and has silver markings on her Troia costume.
* BlushSticker: For whatever reason, she has permanent blush stickers in ''ComicBook/TeenTitansYearOne''.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy:
** When the Titans of Myth revived her following her death by the rogue Superman android, they altered her memories and made her believe she was married to Coeus. While she was technically the TokenGoodTeammate even while brainwashed, she nearly decimated the Titans and Outsiders when they came to rescue her, even telling Starfire "X'ahl spat on your kind ages ago."
** In ''ComicBook/{{Justice}}'', Donna and the rest of second-generation heroes (the Teen Titans, Supergirl, Batgirl, the Marvel family...) were mind-controlled by the Legion of Doom.
** [[spoiler: Following the revision in ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth'' that the New 52 Amazons were fakes, in ''Titans'' Donna is now mentioning her earliest memories are of when she was adopted at age seven before being found the Amazons, even saying she has a stepmother. It's implied, much like with Diana, that Donna's actions and memories during her period as Derinoe's puppet were because she was brainwashed and had her personality altered.]]
* CastingAShadow: As a moon goddess Donna could suppress light sources and even manipulate the very shadows.
* TheChewToy: She's doomed to suffer in her Post-Crisis incarnation.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience
** The lasso of persuasion was originally identical to the lasso of truth, only distinguished from it in how it functioned on those bound by it. It was later changed to silver and glowed blue when it powers where in affect, for scenes where Diana and Donna would [[https://comicvine.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/3/39700/7748659-5661432680-Ec1vowUXgAM4X1M.jpg each bind an individual at the same time]].
** When Donna Troy serves as Wonder Woman, as opposed to any of her other identities, she tends to wear a version of Diana's suit that is almost entirely gold(and has shoulder straps), besides the silver bracelets of course. Maybe she'll have a silver skirt too.
** Donna has to wear a significantly different uniform from Diana, in order to differentiate them as adults (in stories where the two are physically twins anyway). During one story arc, when all three Wonder Women donned full Amazonian armor, Diana's was gold, Donna's silver, and Cassie's pink.
* ContinuitySnarl: The poster woman of this trope. Donna Troy had so many problems over the years that she got her [[ContinuitySnarl/DonnaTroy own page]]. A recurring title for stories focused on her is "Who is... [insert name or codename here]", if that's any indication.
* CosmicRetcon: ''Crisis On Infinite Earths'' was supposed to reset the entire DC Comics multiverse, but certain books were so popular that their creative teams were "spared" this reboot and allowed to continue on like nothing happened. One of those books was ''Teen Titans'', which caused problems when Wonder Woman was changed from a World War II veteran who had lived for thousands of years, to a naive rookie to man's world who couldn't even speak any modern languages yet. This put a PlotHole around Donna Troy too deep to ignore, since it made Wonder Woman saving her from a fire, trying and failing to find her an adoptive family in the US and taking her back to Paradise Island, which wasn't even called that anymore, impossible.
* DeathIsCheap: Died and came back, much like half the heroes out there.
* DeflectorShields: Her Dark Star exomantel came with a personal force field that enhanced Donna's durability.
* DependingOnTheArtist: Her hair has a nominally set appearance for each era of her life, but some artists stray from the norm:
** Her bangs as Wonder Girl were originally fairly consistent blunt bangs, but artists doing flashbacks to this period tend to give her side bangs or a point cut fringe.
** She also usually parts her hair on the left, but not all artists are consistent with this depiction.
** The starfield of her suit sometimes continues into her hair, and sometimes does not.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Whether or not Donna Troy is as strong/fast as Diana by default or needs an extra boost from the Titans Of Myth or Dark Star equipment to equal Diana varies by writer. The official statements from DC tend to paint them as equals regardless, but there are more than a few comics where Donna is shown up or otherwise fails to perform as well as her adoptive or mirror sister without the extra gifts.
* {{Determinator}}: Which is really bad news for anybody caught in her lasso. Chances are guys, that Donna's will is stronger than yours. Mainly because of all the horrors she has endured in her tenure.
* DivingSave: Starfire's flight tends to overtake all local air currents and force a [[NotQuiteFlight gliding]] Donna Troy to follow her. This also means Donna is usually the first one in position to catch Starfire when Starfire gets into trouble, often ending with Donna holding her in a BridalCarry.
* EnergyWeapon: The main weapons of the Dark Star Exomantle were wrist mounted "maser systems". Donna also had a ShoulderCannon if that proved insufficient.
* FanservicePack: ''The Return of Donna Troy'' featured Donna wearing the same starfield leotard she had in the late 1990s, but the outfit she actually started wearing on panel didn't come with the necklace, replacing it with a choker and a plunging neckline.
* FlyingBrick: Like Wonder Woman, though not as consistently. She started out only able to glide in the Silver Age, Post Crisis and Rebirth continuities, while New 52 Donna couldn't fly at all.
* FriendlyAddressPrivileges: She takes offense to Chaos identifying her as "Troia" and "Dark Star", telling him "It's Donna to you!"
* GodOfHumanOrigin: She was resurrected by The Titans of Myth to fill in for Phoebe as moon goddess. She was also turned into a goddess of goddess in New 52 by Zeus, who healed her by turning Donna into a Fate.
* GreenEyedMonster: Donna Troy becomes bitter over the fact that while her life ''was'' saved, Dark Angel had all but destroyed it otherwise. It lead to Donna snapping at one of her benefactors, Wally West, about not being grateful enough for having an identity, history and place in the world. A son of Trigon exploited this to defeat them both by first [[EmotionControl egging them on]] until [[RealityWarper he could become]] that which they envy most; Diana of Themyscira and Barry Allen.
* HandBlast: Donna Troy's most consistent use of her Titan Seed photon powers was shooting light from her hands. As a Dark Star she had [[ArmCannon the technological variant.]]
* TheHeart: Of the ComicBook/TeenTitans, especially in the first incarnation.
* HeterosexualLifepartners: Donna Troy finds a kindred spirit in Starfire, another WarriorPrincess overshadowed by her older sister. Starfire is the sister Donna Troy doesn't feel the need to compare herself to. Donna Troy is the sister that doesn't return Starfire's kindness with cruelty. Even during the Titan Seed period where Donna technically had nothing to do with Diana, Donna could still relate to Starfire having her life changed by conquerors and having to adapt to a new world.
* HumanWeapon: The Esquecida boast to have a weapon, which when ready will breach the barriers of Olympus, beat back the forces of Hera within and allow them to recue Yara Flor. To Cassie Sandsmark's surprise the weapon turns out to be Donna Troy, who had been sent Brazil to retrieve Cassie after Hippolyta lost contact with Cassie, and found the hidden city of Akahim during her search.
* HypocriticalHeartwarming
** During ''ComicBook/TrialOfTheAmazons'' she snaps at Diana for treating her "like an outsider" when Diana wants to put ''every'' amazon in the lasso of truth [[spoiler:to find out who killed Hyppolyta]]. However Donna accepts the outsider Bana-Mighdall's offer to be their champion in the upcoming Contest, in an effort to bring equality to Themyscira and the "outcast" tribe.
** During the contest she snaps at Diana again for trying to "coddle" her after a fall, insisting that Diana treat her like an opponent. However, Donna is the only competitor who has to be convinced to leave Diana behind after Diana [[LoadBearingHero holds up a collapsing cavern]] so the others can get out.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: The reason she cannot seem to stay normal. Even when she gave up her powers to be with her husband and son, she found being a regular human to be intolerable and sought out any way to return to superheroism, even becoming neglectful to her family by joining the Darkstars and going into space.
* IconicItem: Her small silver bullet-deflecting bracelets and silver lasso.
* ImmediateSelfContradiction: While serving as Wonder Woman in Diana's absence Donna Troy claimed to be a kinder, gentler Wonder Woman...before cutting the arms off an aggressor and deflecting the bullets shot by another back into her. To be fair, Donna was talking about ''Artemis'' but everyone was thinking of ''Diana''.
* KnowsTheRopes: Donna Troy technically wields the original magic lasso Diana once had, ignoring the {{cosmic retcon}}s that have altered their history, and has proven just as good as Diana when it comes to snaring targets. During ''Trial of The Amazons'' Donna embarrassingly admitted to Philippus that she never really learned the art of untying knots, however, and required assistance.
* LightEmUp: One of her Titan Seed powers was the ability to generate and manipulate photons.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: She and Dick Grayson are often written this way. Given that he's the DCU ChickMagnet and she looks like Wonder Woman this is somewhat surprising, but he ''really'' prefers redheads.
* MadeOfIndestructium: Her bracelets and lasso.
* MidSeasonUpgrade: In the DC Rebirth continuity, Donna Troy did not have true unaided {{flight}} but merely glided on air currents, as it had come to be expected of her. Then she [[EurekaMoment figured out how to fly]] while {{brainwashed}} by The Batman Who Laughs.
* MindOverManners: {{Enforced|Trope}}. One of her privileges as a Titan Seed was the ability to see into other people's memories, but this only worked if the subject didn't resist Donna Troy. Combined with her light powers she could create three dimensional projections of these memories for the masses to see, which meant those who might be willing to share with Donna might not trust her with other people present.
* MostCommonSuperPower: While often not as buxom as Diana, she's still drawn with a lot of cleavage.
* MsFanservice: During her time with ''Titans,'' she often ran around in bikinis. In the mid-2000s, her outfit also developed a plunging neckline.
* MyKungFuIsStrongerThanYours: Pre Crisis, Wonder Girl initially took Starfire aside for sparring, after being told Starfire had endured harsh training from some apparently fearsome interplanetary warlords, in order to prove the amazons were the most fearsome warriors anyone could be trained by.
* MySuitIsAlsoSuper: The star fields in Donna Troy's Titan Seed outfits aren't just fancy designs but pieces of firmament that allow Donna to navigate the cosmos when in outer space. These are the only gifts Troy has consistently kept from the Titans of Myth and she frequently weaves them into her new outfits, adding one to her "New 52" suit after her memories were restored in "DC Rebirth".
* NighInvulnerability: In the post crisis series she was mostly immune to harm, but learned too late that lasers can hurt her. She was killed by the lasers of a Superman robot, which are typically inferior to Superman himself, while Diana has survived the heat vision of Superman when he was made more powerful and brainwashed to hate her by Circe. On the other hand that same arc had Donna survive lasers InTheBack from Trinity, suggesting Donna [[CameBackStrong resurrected Donna had gotten tougher]]. For the most part, Donna tends to be as tough as Diana, however tough that may happen to be at the moment.
* NotQuiteFlight: In the silver age Donna Troy could glide on air currents, just like Diana. A consequence of ''Teen Titans'' being spared the ''Crisis On Infinite Earths'' CosmicRetcon was that Post Crisis, Donna was still limited to guiding on air currents while Diana went on to gain [[IBelieveICanFly actual flight]]. Donna did get actual flight with the added boost of becoming a titan seed, during her stint as a moon goddess and wearing the Darkstar exomantel, but none of that lasted. Due to the nature of Starfire's actual flight, an airborne Donna would often find herself [[{{Railroading}} at the mercy]] of she called "Kori's backwash".
* ParentalNeglect: All things considered, Donna was shown to be considerably neglectful to her husband Terry Long and their son and step-daughter in favor of superheroism to the point where she turned Terry's farm into a summer camp for the Teen Titans without her husband's permission, with him deconstructing her TeamMom status by declaring she was a better mother to the Titans than she was to her own son. It escalated to the point her husband filed for divorce and was the defining cause for her family's eventual death because she was traveling in space with Kyle Rayner. Her awful mothering skills were mentioned again later in various stories as ReasonYouSuckSpeech points.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Dick Grayson (Robin I/Nightwing/Batman III). Considering she gets away with [[http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo4pjeG2UG1qmavteo1_500.png greeting ''Batman'' with a brofist]], may also count as OneOfTheBoys.
* PlayingPossum: Pre Crisis Donna Troy had been captured by Doctor Cyber, who proceeded to torture Donna with lasers and toxic gas in order to [[LuredIntoATrap lure big sister Wonder Woman into a trap.]] After recallign her amazon training, Wonder Girl tries to prevent this by putting herself into a trance, which convinces Doctor Cyber she had gone too far and killed Donna. Wonder Woman still shows up though, and beats Cyber. The sisters then realize they had underestimated each other.
* PlotHole: In 1961 Wonder Girl was suddenly acting like and being addressed as a different person from Wonder Woman entirely. The establishment of Donna Troy ''closed'' this plot hole, but after ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' DC editorial let another plot hole open with Wonder Girl and Wonder Woman being complete strangers while using the same equipment that should have been limited to an exclusive club.
* ThePollyanna: Nothing can seem to dent Donna's optimism. Though it's implied that she is actually a StepfordSmiler because of the various traumas she has been through to the point she can become brutally vicious and morose when pushed far enough.
* QuitYourWhining: Donna Troy spent many of her formative years as an amazon while Cassie Sandsmark did not. Nonetheless Troy was insistent on Sandsmark ''acting'' like an amazon so long as Sandsmark thought herself good enough to wear the symbol of one. Donna does end up softening towards Cassie, however.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She's the first Wonder Girl (now Troia). Initially she was the adopted daughter of the Amazon's queen, making her functionally a princess, though she had no interest in the throne and returned to "Man's World" to become a photographer.
* SiblingTeam: With Diana. When they are siblings.
* SidekickGraduationsStick: Whether as Troia, Wonder Woman IV, or plain old Donna Troy, Donna's been a superheroine in her own right for years.
* StarSpangledSpandex: One of the few constants among Donna's costumes is that she will have stars on it somewhere. Post Titan Seed she'll usually have a star ''field'' on it somewhere.
* StatuesqueStunner: Given that she's built exactly like her sister, this isn't surprising. Versions of Donna that ''aren't'' twins of Diana tend to be about three inches shorter(imperial 5'9 if Diana is 6 even, etc.), which still tends to be well above the average woman's height.
* SuccessfulSiblingSyndrome: In ''Whatever Happened To The Warrior Of Truth'' it is revealed Donna Troy has dreams of talking to Diana, where she confessing that she feels inadequate, that she how thinks everything seems to come so easy to Diana while Donna feels she works twice as hard for half the results. Unbeknownst to Donna a comatose Diana is being forced to experience the dreams of her troubled friends and rivals until she can make them feel better, has long caught on to it and knew just how to encourage Donna if Donna's dreams happened to be among those she was required to inhabit.
* SuperReflexes: Like her sister she can deflect machine gun fire with only her bracelets. Post Crisis she's even able to dodge an attack by Wally West while both are being driven to hostility by a son of Trigon...though Wally still lands far more hits than Donna.
* SuperSpeed: Much faster than normal humans.
* SuperStrength: One of the strongest heroines around, in the same category as Diana, Supergirl, and Power Girl.
* TeamMom: For the Titans, growing more mom-like with each generation of the team that she mentors. It's even lampshaded a few times to the point of deconstruction when Donna angrily berates her team on how being the one who is constantly asked for counsel like a parent by her teammates is unbearably stressful since she has her own problems to resolve.
* TokenFlyer: Token glider, but Donna was functionally this to the original four Titans. She lost this role as the team expanded and more flyers were added.
* TuckAndCover: Ray Palmer resigns himself to death after seeing an atomic bomb go off in his city but Donna Troy refuses to let him perish attempts to shield Ray from the incoming shock waves.
* TwinTelepathy: In stories where Donna and Diana are twins, the two can share dreams and feel when the other is in danger. ''Whatever Happened To The Warrior Of Truth'' is a case where they're not twins and the fact the dream sharing shouldn't be happening is an issue for Diana
* WarriorPrincess: As Diana's little sister, Donna's also a Princess of Themyscira, and follows in her big sister's footsteps when it comes to asskicking.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Post Crisis Donna's used [[NotQuiteFlight variations]] of the Polish Hammer, battering ram and spear tackle.

[[AC:''ComicBook/New52'' Continuity:]]
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: The New 52 version of Donna Troy was never ComicBook/WonderGirl and was created as a murderous misandrist to lead the Amazons in slaughtering their male offspring. This change was undone in ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth'' and ''ComicBook/TitansRebirth'' where it's revealed her mind was tampered with and her past as Wonder Girl did really occur.
* AdaptationalVillainy: The New 52 version of Donna Troy was created as a murderous misandrist to lead the Amazons in slaughtering their male offspring and was a Wonder Woman villain rather than her sister and ally.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: In DC Rebirth Donna Troy is the only one of the three Wonder Woman counterparts Warmaster recruits who reforms from her murderous ways, and the only one without any outwardly inhuman traits.
* BornAsAnAdult: This version of Donna was never a child and was created as an adult. Then the Teen Titans being founded by a group including a younger version of Donna as Wonder Girl was confirmed, even though it contradicted her new backstory and ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' clung to it, revealing her ComicBook/New52 origin as an entirely false fabrication and confirming she was an orphan raised by the Amazons. Robinson then tried to claim her New 52 origin was true and her childhood was falsely implanted memories despite it contradicting canon and the memories of Wally West, whose memory the Amazons simply could not have tampered with. As Robinson shoehorning in bits of the New 52 was not well received this is generally ignored.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Following the revision in ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth'' that the New 52 Amazons were fakes, in ''Titans'' Donna is now mentioning her earliest memories are of when she was adopted at age seven before being found the Amazons, even saying she has a stepmother. It's implied, much like with Diana, that Donna's actions and memories during her period as Derinoe's puppet were because she was brainwashed and had her personality altered.
* DefeatMeansRespect: After a brief relapse into raging homicidal misandry, Donna Troy not only forgives Nikos Aegeus for nearly killing Donna while he was trying to save Diana from her, but even makes friends with his WingedHorse Discordia, who becomes fiercely loyal to Donna.
* DivineIntervention: Reforming Donna Troy is ultimately beyond Diana. She comes [[HopeSpot really close]] but ultimately Zeus himself has to step in to save Donna's life and set her right.
* InformedAttribute: She's supposed to be an exact copy of Diana, but is ofen drawn with a different face and is sometimes a little shorter.
* LegionOfDoom: In DC Rebirth Paula Von Gunther recruits Donna Troy to serve alongside Devastation, Genocide and Armageddon II as her "Four Horsewomen" in Paula's mission to destroy Themyscira in revenge for an ancient slaughter the Amazons lead against the Valkyries. Donna [[TokenGoodTeammate is not amused]] and refuses them entry to the island but Genocide forces her way in anyway, leading to Donna helping Diana subdue Genocide.
* PullingThemselvesTogether: Donna takes "made of clay" a lot more literally than Diana did in pervious continuities. As long as her vital organs are preserved and she's well hydrated Donna can piece herself back together, however this ''does'' allow Diana to [[GoodThingYouCanHeal put quite a hurting on her without fear of Donna dying.]]
* RedemptionRejection: By the time Diana had defeated Donna, Diana had seen several criminals reform and decided killing should not be a first resort. Unfortunately telling Donna what she did was wrong turned Donna into a DeathSeeker who had to be imprisoned for her own safety. Even after Donna gets out of her cell and tries to live a law abiding life, the first criminal she decides to spare winds up killing Donna's first civilian friend, causing Donna to not only become murderous again but also blame Diana for everything and beat her up out of frustration. All the same, Diana {{D|ownplayedtrope}}OES succeed in giving Donna stronger senses of empathy and morality. She just fails at making Donna a functional member of society.
* ShadowArchetype: To the New 52 Nikos Aegeus, another super powered problem "child" to the long lived Diana, whom Diana spares the life in belief he can be reformed. While attempting to reform Donna causes her to want to kill herself it's his own sense of self preservation that helps make Nikos's redemption possible. While Donna is quicker to see the truth in Diana's words than Nikos is, she also has a much harder time sticking to them than he does once he sees the error of his ways, and while Nikos was resentful of Diana before reforming, Donnna becomes more so after trying and failing. This leads to Nikos almost killing Donna while trying to protect Diana from her, almost causing Diana to lose her patience.
* SmiteMeOhMightySmiter: After being sprung from prison Donna Troy tracks down The Fates and demands that they cut her thread. The CrossoverCosmology of the DCU betrays her, as too much outside of their sphere of influence went into Donna Troy's creation, leaving her with no "thread" to cut.
* VariantPowerCopying: While Diana owes her wonderful powers to her parentage in the New 52 continuity, the amazons who created Donna Troy tried to duplicate them with magic spells and invocations. They did a decent job, but couldn't duplicate Diana's ability to fly.
* WindsOfDestinyChange: After "Zeek" saves her life by turning her into a Fate, Donna Troy uses her new found gifts to restore Zeus to adulthood and restore immortality to the Greek Pantheon. This saves Diana, who is being killed by her own War God powers, but has the side affect of bringing Ares back to life.

to:

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Teen Titans villain Bogeyman has always had a special interest in Donna Troy, and became more attracted to her after [[AmazonChaser she flattened him in battle]]. Donna for her part can barely stomach the sight of him.
* ActionHeroine: Donna Troy tends to be less of a SpiritedCompetitor ''and'' less of a TechnicalPacifist than Diana, neither enjoying combat as much nor being patient enough for Diana's talk-restrain-wound-kill routine if given a reason to swing, usually setting for simply leaving the enemy's body mostly in one piece, if she can afford to. This puts Donna Troy more inline with most amazons of Themyscira in actions, if not in words.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the ComicBook/{{New 52}} she was created in-universe to be a replacement for Diana by Amazons who disliked their new Queen's decision to allow their Amazon brothers to live amongst them. An issue of ''Wonder Woman'' had her leading a cohort of Amazons in slaughtering many of them. [[spoiler: ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' has revealed Donna does have a past and was ''not'' created as a blank shell, subverting this trope by implying Donna was GoodAllAlong and subjected to mental tampering just like Diana. Likewise, with the reveal that the New 52 Amazons were fakes, it's implied by association that the Amazon men were similarly not real.]]
* AlternateSelf
** Dark Angel is an alternate Donna Troy who was raised by The Anitmoniter rather than Diana and Hippolyta, resents Donna Troy for her better life, and is determined to replace Donna's history of a loving family with one of suffering.
** Donna's feud with Dark Angel was supposed to conclude with the removal of ''all'' other Donna Troys besides them from the entire DC multiverse. Despite this Belthera finds and recruits another alternate Donna Troy during ''Countdown To Final Crisis''. A Donna Troy who snapped and murdered the Diana who adopted her for Diana's lasso in a fit of envious rage. While the Donna we follow [[ShadowArchetype also]] envies Diana, she loves her sister despite it and [[TalkToTheFist shuts her counterpart up real quick]] when she insists familicide will make her feel better too.
* AnIcePerson: Moreso a cold person, as Donna Troy could cause temperatures to plummet during her time as a moon goddess, and raising them back up was far harder.
* ArtificialFamilyMember: One version of her birth has her being a magical created clone of Diana to act as a friend. Since Amazons often refer to each other as sisters, Diana saw Donna as one as well.
* BackFromTheDead: Donna Troy died at a ComicBook/{{Superman}} robot's hands in ''ComicBook/TitansYoungJusticeGraduationDay'' #3 and was reborn right before ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis''.
* BadassCape: Wore one while serving as goddess of the moon. Combined with light-dark manipulating powers that came with the position and the firmanent The Titans of Myth had gifted her, Donna could create the illusion she had caused night to fall while bearing down on someone.
* BarrierWarrior: As a Titan Seed Donna Troy could create force fields.
* BashBrothers: With Diana, Cassie, and in a cross-gender example, Dick Grayson.
* BlingOfWar: Sported a silver suit of Greek-style armor in one arc, and has silver markings on her Troia costume.
* BlushSticker: For whatever reason, she has permanent blush stickers in ''ComicBook/TeenTitansYearOne''.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy:
** When the Titans of Myth revived her following her death by the rogue Superman android, they altered her memories and made her believe she was married to Coeus. While she was technically the TokenGoodTeammate even while brainwashed, she nearly decimated the Titans and Outsiders when they came to rescue her, even telling Starfire "X'ahl spat on your kind ages ago."
** In ''ComicBook/{{Justice}}'', Donna and the rest of second-generation heroes (the Teen Titans, Supergirl, Batgirl, the Marvel family...) were mind-controlled by the Legion of Doom.
** [[spoiler: Following the revision in ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth'' that the New 52 Amazons were fakes, in ''Titans'' Donna is now mentioning her earliest memories are of when she was adopted at age seven before being found the Amazons, even saying she has a stepmother. It's implied, much like with Diana, that Donna's actions and memories during her period as Derinoe's puppet were because she was brainwashed and had her personality altered.]]
* CastingAShadow: As a moon goddess Donna could suppress light sources and even manipulate the very shadows.
* TheChewToy: She's doomed to suffer in her Post-Crisis incarnation.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience
** The lasso of persuasion was originally identical to the lasso of truth, only distinguished from it in how it functioned on those bound by it. It was later changed to silver and glowed blue when it powers where in affect, for scenes where Diana and Donna would [[https://comicvine.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/3/39700/7748659-5661432680-Ec1vowUXgAM4X1M.jpg each bind an individual at the same time]].
** When Donna Troy serves as Wonder Woman, as opposed to any of her other identities, she tends to wear a version of Diana's suit that is almost entirely gold(and has shoulder straps), besides the silver bracelets of course. Maybe she'll have a silver skirt too.
** Donna has to wear a significantly different uniform from Diana, in order to differentiate them as adults (in stories where the two are physically twins anyway). During one story arc, when all three Wonder Women donned full Amazonian armor, Diana's was gold, Donna's silver, and Cassie's pink.
* ContinuitySnarl: The poster woman of this trope. Donna Troy had so many problems over the years that she got her [[ContinuitySnarl/DonnaTroy own page]]. A recurring title for stories focused on her is "Who is... [insert name or codename here]", if that's any indication.
* CosmicRetcon: ''Crisis On Infinite Earths'' was supposed to reset the entire DC Comics multiverse, but certain books were so popular that their creative teams were "spared" this reboot and allowed to continue on like nothing happened. One of those books was ''Teen Titans'', which caused problems when Wonder Woman was changed from a World War II veteran who had lived for thousands of years, to a naive rookie to man's world who couldn't even speak any modern languages yet. This put a PlotHole around Donna Troy too deep to ignore, since it made Wonder Woman saving her from a fire, trying and failing to find her an adoptive family in the US and taking her back to Paradise Island, which wasn't even called that anymore, impossible.
* DeathIsCheap: Died and came back, much like half the heroes out there.
* DeflectorShields: Her Dark Star exomantel came with a personal force field that enhanced Donna's durability.
* DependingOnTheArtist: Her hair has a nominally set appearance for each era of her life, but some artists stray from the norm:
** Her bangs as Wonder Girl were originally fairly consistent blunt bangs, but artists doing flashbacks to this period tend to give her side bangs or a point cut fringe.
** She also usually parts her hair on the left, but not all artists are consistent with this depiction.
** The starfield of her suit sometimes continues into her hair, and sometimes does not.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Whether or not Donna Troy is as strong/fast as Diana by default or needs an extra boost from the Titans Of Myth or Dark Star equipment to equal Diana varies by writer. The official statements from DC tend to paint them as equals regardless, but there are more than a few comics where Donna is shown up or otherwise fails to perform as well as her adoptive or mirror sister without the extra gifts.
* {{Determinator}}: Which is really bad news for anybody caught in her lasso. Chances are guys, that Donna's will is stronger than yours. Mainly because of all the horrors she has endured in her tenure.
* DivingSave: Starfire's flight tends to overtake all local air currents and force a [[NotQuiteFlight gliding]] Donna Troy to follow her. This also means Donna is usually the first one in position to catch Starfire when Starfire gets into trouble, often ending with Donna holding her in a BridalCarry.
* EnergyWeapon: The main weapons of the Dark Star Exomantle were wrist mounted "maser systems". Donna also had a ShoulderCannon if that proved insufficient.
* FanservicePack: ''The Return of Donna Troy'' featured Donna wearing the same starfield leotard she had in the late 1990s, but the outfit she actually started wearing on panel didn't come with the necklace, replacing it with a choker and a plunging neckline.

* FriendlyAddressPrivileges: She takes offense to Chaos identifying her as "Troia" and "Dark Star", telling him "It's Donna to you!"

* HypocriticalHeartwarming
** During ''ComicBook/TrialOfTheAmazons'' she snaps at Diana for treating her "like an outsider" when Diana wants to put ''every'' amazon in the lasso of truth [[spoiler:to find out who killed Hyppolyta]]. However Donna accepts the outsider Bana-Mighdall's offer to be their champion in the upcoming Contest, in an effort to bring equality to Themyscira and the "outcast" tribe.

These are the only gifts Troy has consistently kept from the Titans of Myth and she frequently weaves them into her new outfits, adding one to her "New 52" suit after her memories were restored in "DC Rebirth".
* NighInvulnerability: In the post crisis series she was mostly immune to harm, but learned too late that lasers can hurt her. She was killed by the lasers of a Superman robot, which are typically inferior to Superman himself, while Diana has survived the heat vision of Superman when he was made more powerful and brainwashed to hate her by Circe. On the other hand that same arc had Donna survive lasers InTheBack from Trinity, suggesting Donna [[CameBackStrong resurrected Donna had gotten tougher]]. For the most part, Donna tends to be as tough as Diana, however tough that may happen to be at the moment.
* NotQuiteFlight: In the silver age Donna Troy could glide on air currents, just like Diana. A consequence of ''Teen Titans'' being spared the ''Crisis On Infinite Earths'' CosmicRetcon was that Post Crisis, Donna was still limited to guiding on air currents while Diana went on to gain [[IBelieveICanFly actual flight]]. Donna did get actual flight with the added boost of becoming a titan seed, during her stint as a moon goddess and wearing the Darkstar exomantel, but none of that lasted. Due to the nature of Starfire's actual flight, an airborne Donna would often find herself [[{{Railroading}} at the mercy]] of she called "Kori's backwash".
* ParentalNeglect: All things considered, Donna was shown to be considerably neglectful to her husband Terry Long and their son and step-daughter in favor of superheroism to the point where she turned Terry's farm into a summer camp for the Teen Titans without her husband's permission, with him deconstructing her TeamMom status by declaring she was a better mother to the Titans than she was to her own son. It escalated to the point her husband filed for divorce and was the defining cause for her family's eventual death because she was traveling in space with Kyle Rayner. Her awful mothering skills were mentioned again later in various stories as ReasonYouSuckSpeech points.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Dick Grayson (Robin I/Nightwing/Batman III). Considering she gets away with [[http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo4pjeG2UG1qmavteo1_500.png greeting ''Batman'' with a brofist]], may also count as OneOfTheBoys.
* PlayingPossum: Pre Crisis Donna Troy had been captured by Doctor Cyber, who proceeded to torture Donna with lasers and toxic gas in order to [[LuredIntoATrap lure big sister Wonder Woman into a trap.]] After recallign her amazon training, Wonder Girl tries to prevent this by putting herself into a trance, which convinces Doctor Cyber she had gone too far and killed Donna. Wonder Woman still shows up though, and beats Cyber. The sisters then realize they had underestimated each other.
* PlotHole: In 1961 Wonder Girl was suddenly acting like and being addressed as a different person from Wonder Woman entirely. The establishment of Donna Troy ''closed'' this plot hole, but after ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' DC editorial let another plot hole open with Wonder Girl and Wonder Woman being complete strangers while using the same equipment that should have been limited to an exclusive club.
* ThePollyanna: Nothing can seem to dent Donna's optimism. Though it's implied that she is actually a StepfordSmiler because of the various traumas she has been through to the point she can become brutally vicious and morose when pushed far enough.
* QuitYourWhining: Donna Troy spent many of her formative years as an amazon while Cassie Sandsmark did not. Nonetheless Troy was insistent on Sandsmark ''acting'' like an amazon so long as Sandsmark thought herself good enough to wear the symbol of one. Donna does end up softening towards Cassie, however.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She's the first Wonder Girl (now Troia). Initially she was the adopted daughter of the Amazon's queen, making her functionally a princess, though she had no interest in the throne and returned to "Man's World" to become a photographer.
* SiblingTeam: With Diana. When they are siblings.
* SidekickGraduationsStick: Whether as Troia, Wonder Woman IV, or plain old Donna Troy, Donna's been a superheroine in her own right for years.
* StarSpangledSpandex: One of the few constants among Donna's costumes is that she will have stars on it somewhere. Post Titan Seed she'll usually have a star ''field'' on it somewhere.
* StatuesqueStunner: Given that she's built exactly like her sister, this isn't surprising. Versions of Donna that ''aren't'' twins of Diana tend to be about three inches shorter(imperial 5'9 if Diana is 6 even, etc.), which still tends to be well above the average woman's height.
* SuccessfulSiblingSyndrome: In ''Whatever Happened To The Warrior Of Truth'' it is revealed Donna Troy has dreams of talking to Diana, where she confessing that she feels inadequate, that she how thinks everything seems to come so easy to Diana while Donna feels she works twice as hard for half the results. Unbeknownst to Donna a comatose Diana is being forced to experience the dreams of her troubled friends and rivals until she can make them feel better, has long caught on to it and knew just how to encourage Donna if Donna's dreams happened to be among those she was required to inhabit.
* SuperReflexes: Like her sister she can deflect machine gun fire with only her bracelets. Post Crisis she's even able to dodge an attack by Wally West while both are being driven to hostility by a son of Trigon...though Wally still lands far more hits than Donna.
* SuperSpeed: Much faster than normal humans.
* SuperStrength: One of the strongest heroines around, in the same category as Diana, Supergirl, and Power Girl.
* TeamMom: For the Titans, growing more mom-like with each generation of the team that she mentors. It's even lampshaded a few times to the point of deconstruction when Donna angrily berates her team on how being the one who is constantly asked for counsel like a parent by her teammates is unbearably stressful since she has her own problems to resolve.
* TokenFlyer: Token glider, but Donna was functionally this to the original four Titans. She lost this role as the team expanded and more flyers were added.
* TuckAndCover: Ray Palmer resigns himself to death after seeing an atomic bomb go off in his city but Donna Troy refuses to let him perish attempts to shield Ray from the incoming shock waves.
* TwinTelepathy: In stories where Donna and Diana are twins, the two can share dreams and feel when the other is in danger. ''Whatever Happened To The Warrior Of Truth'' is a case where they're not twins and the fact the dream sharing shouldn't be happening is an issue for Diana
* WarriorPrincess: As Diana's little sister, Donna's also a Princess of Themyscira, and follows in her big sister's footsteps when it comes to asskicking.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Post Crisis Donna's used [[NotQuiteFlight variations]] of the Polish Hammer, battering ram and spear tackle.

[[AC:''ComicBook/New52'' Continuity:]]
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: The New 52 version of Donna Troy was never ComicBook/WonderGirl and was created as a murderous misandrist to lead the Amazons in slaughtering their male offspring. This change was undone in ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth'' and ''ComicBook/TitansRebirth'' where it's revealed her mind was tampered with and her past as Wonder Girl did really occur.
* AdaptationalVillainy: The New 52 version of Donna Troy was created as a murderous misandrist to lead the Amazons in slaughtering their male offspring and was a Wonder Woman villain rather than her sister and ally.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: In DC Rebirth Donna Troy is the only one of the three Wonder Woman counterparts Warmaster recruits who reforms from her murderous ways, and the only one without any outwardly inhuman traits.
* BornAsAnAdult: This version of Donna was never a child and was created as an adult. Then the Teen Titans being founded by a group including a younger version of Donna as Wonder Girl was confirmed, even though it contradicted her new backstory and ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' clung to it, revealing her ComicBook/New52 origin as an entirely false fabrication and confirming she was an orphan raised by the Amazons. Robinson then tried to claim her New 52 origin was true and her childhood was falsely implanted memories despite it contradicting canon and the memories of Wally West, whose memory the Amazons simply could not have tampered with. As Robinson shoehorning in bits of the New 52 was not well received this is generally ignored.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Following the revision in ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth'' that the New 52 Amazons were fakes, in ''Titans'' Donna is now mentioning her earliest memories are of when she was adopted at age seven before being found the Amazons, even saying she has a stepmother. It's implied, much like with Diana, that Donna's actions and memories during her period as Derinoe's puppet were because she was brainwashed and had her personality altered.
* DefeatMeansRespect: After a brief relapse into raging homicidal misandry, Donna Troy not only forgives Nikos Aegeus for nearly killing Donna while he was trying to save Diana from her, but even makes friends with his WingedHorse Discordia, who becomes fiercely loyal to Donna.
* DivineIntervention: Reforming Donna Troy is ultimately beyond Diana. She comes [[HopeSpot really close]] but ultimately Zeus himself has to step in to save Donna's life and set her right.
* InformedAttribute: She's supposed to be an exact copy of Diana, but is ofen drawn with a different face and is sometimes a little shorter.
* LegionOfDoom: In DC Rebirth Paula Von Gunther recruits Donna Troy to serve alongside Devastation, Genocide and Armageddon II as her "Four Horsewomen" in Paula's mission to destroy Themyscira in revenge for an ancient slaughter the Amazons lead against the Valkyries. Donna [[TokenGoodTeammate is not amused]] and refuses them entry to the island but Genocide forces her way in anyway, leading to Donna helping Diana subdue Genocide.
* PullingThemselvesTogether: Donna takes "made of clay" a lot more literally than Diana did in pervious continuities. As long as her vital organs are preserved and she's well hydrated Donna can piece herself back together, however this ''does'' allow Diana to [[GoodThingYouCanHeal put quite a hurting on her without fear of Donna dying.]]
* RedemptionRejection: By the time Diana had defeated Donna, Diana had seen several criminals reform and decided killing should not be a first resort. Unfortunately telling Donna what she did was wrong turned Donna into a DeathSeeker who had to be imprisoned for her own safety. Even after Donna gets out of her cell and tries to live a law abiding life, the first criminal she decides to spare winds up killing Donna's first civilian friend, causing Donna to not only become murderous again but also blame Diana for everything and beat her up out of frustration. All the same, Diana {{D|ownplayedtrope}}OES succeed in giving Donna stronger senses of empathy and morality. She just fails at making Donna a functional member of society.
* ShadowArchetype: To the New 52 Nikos Aegeus, another super powered problem "child" to the long lived Diana, whom Diana spares the life in belief he can be reformed. While attempting to reform Donna causes her to want to kill herself it's his own sense of self preservation that helps make Nikos's redemption possible. While Donna is quicker to see the truth in Diana's words than Nikos is, she also has a much harder time sticking to them than he does once he sees the error of his ways, and while Nikos was resentful of Diana before reforming, Donnna becomes more so after trying and failing. This leads to Nikos almost killing Donna while trying to protect Diana from her, almost causing Diana to lose her patience.
* SmiteMeOhMightySmiter: After being sprung from prison Donna Troy tracks down The Fates and demands that they cut her thread. The CrossoverCosmology of the DCU betrays her, as too much outside of their sphere of influence went into Donna Troy's creation, leaving her with no "thread" to cut.
* VariantPowerCopying: While Diana owes her wonderful powers to her parentage in the New 52 continuity, the amazons who created Donna Troy tried to duplicate them with magic spells and invocations. They did a decent job, but couldn't duplicate Diana's ability to fly.
* WindsOfDestinyChange: After "Zeek" saves her life by turning her into a Fate, Donna Troy uses her new found gifts to restore Zeus to adulthood and restore immortality to the Greek Pantheon. This saves Diana, who is being killed by her own War God powers, but has the side affect of bringing Ares back to life.

* ActionHeroine: Donna Troy tends to be less of a SpiritedCompetitor ''and'' less of a TechnicalPacifist than Diana, neither enjoying combat as much nor being patient enough for Diana's talk-restrain-wound-kill routine if given a reason to swing, usually setting for simply leaving the enemy's body mostly in one piece, if she can afford to. This puts Donna Troy more inline with most amazons of Themyscira in actions, if not in words.

%%If you're thinking of adding or changing any tropes on Donna's page, please do that over on Sandbox/WonderGirlDonnaTroy. I'd appreciate the help in having that expanded instead of constantly having to check this page's edit history.
