** In her Teen Titans days both pre and post Flashpoint some artists gave her a lot more cleavage and lower necklines than others, and post-Flashpont there was a tendency to make her breasts bigger than her head and so perfectly round they had to have been implants despite the fact that she's still a high school aged kid, but it’s justified since she’s descended from the Olympian gods.

* 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 Team Mom 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.

Your Mileage May Vary is not and was never a trope. Never link to it. Ever. Its use here marks this as a textbook Justifying Edit. This is not a forum.


** YourMileageMayVary. While Donna was a dedicated superheroine during this period, her 'awful mothering skills' sometimes fall into the realm of InformedAttribute, as the divorce occurred while Donna's son was still a toddler, and brought with it a restraining order that prevented Donna from spending any time with her son. Furthermore, blaming her for the deaths of her husband, son and stepdaughter is absurd - they died because Terry Long lost control of his car and drove over a cliff during a thunderstorm. Donna's presence might have saved them, but the restraining order already prevented that.

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.

* {{Depower}}: Her powers are actually hers by birth, she was sealed to functionally be a normal human child growing up.



* GiveHimANormalLife: Her mother wanted her to have a normal life and Zeus sealed her inherent powers at birth so Cassie could live as a regular human. Cassie obviously was entirely uninterested in a normal life by the time she entered high school, and was quite upset with everyone for lying to her when she learned her father's identity.



* JumpedAtTheCall: She really wanted to be a superhero despite seeming to be a normal girl, and dove into the lifestyle headfirst at the first opportunity. Even when she's trying to cut back on the super heroics for her mom's sake she's always eager to help anyone she can.

[[caption-width-right:300:Donna as Troia]]

Donna Troy's past is... [[ContinuitySnarl/DonnaTroy 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. She had stepped up to the plate as Wonder Woman when Diana was unavailable but is never strongly attached to that name and role.\\
\\
The ''ComicBook/New52'' attempted to uncomplicate Donna's origin, but the route taken of "evil clone of Wonder Woman" was despised by fans. ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' then did away with this origin and reinstated her traditional one as the former Wonder Girl of the Teen Titans who was adopted by Hippolyta after being rescued by Wondy... only for James Robinson's run on ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth'' to start mucking up her past by attempting to reinstate her [=New52=] origin while contradicting ''ComicBook/TitansRebirth'' and the memories of Wally West, who is known to have some of the most incorrupted memories in the whole 'verse. For more on just who Donna is see her [[ContinuitySnarl/DonnaTroy Continuity Snarl page]]. \\

* 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.]]
* 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.
* 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''.
* BoobsOfSteel: She's just as stacked, and just as strong, as Diana.
* 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."
** [[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.]]
* TheChewToy: She's doomed to suffer in her Post-Crisis incarnation.
* TheChick: Of the ComicBook/TeenTitans, especially in the first incarnation.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Has to wear a significantly different uniform from Diana, in order to differentiate them as adults (physically they're twins). 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]].
* DeathIsCheap: Died and came back, much like half the heroes out there.
* 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.
* {{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.
* FlyingBrick: Like Wonder Woman.
* IconicItem: Her small black bullet-deflecting bracelets and silver lasso.
* 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.
* 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 [[HeroesPreferRedheads redheads]].
* MadeOfIndestructium: Her bracelets and lasso.
* MsFanservice: During her time with ''Titans,'' she often ran around in bikinis as well.

* 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 Team Mom 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.
* 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.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She's the first Wonder Girl (now Troia).
* SiblingTeam: With Diana. When they are siblings.
* {{Sidekick}}-->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 costume is that it will have stars on it somewhere.
* StatuesqueStunner: Given that she's built exactly like her sister, this isn't surprising.
* SuperReflexes: Like her sister she can deflect machine gun fire with only her bracelets.
* 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.
* 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.

Cassie Sandsmark was the president of the Wonder Woman fan club in Gateway City. When she actually met Wonder Woman, she was so enthusiastic that she took artifacts from her mother's museum to help Wonder Woman fight. Impressed with her bravery, the Gods granted her powers of her own. Cassie became the leader of Comicbook/YoungJustice and the ComicBook/TeenTitans and she eventually discovered that Zeus was her father.\\
\\
Her New 52 incarnation is the daughter of Wonder Woman's half-brother Lennox, and derives her powers from an ancient armor named the 'Silent Armor' related to the demon Trigon. This character's provenance is called into question in ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth'' by the revelation that the Olympians of the New 52 were fakes and implanted memories designed to hide the real Themyscira.\\

->'''First Appearance:''' ''[[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 Wonder Woman Vol 2]]'' #105. (1996)
->'''Created By:''' John Byrne
----
* ActionHeroine: When at her best. Later writers have waffled between this and putting her as a FauxActionGirl.
* AscendedFangirl: The president of the Wonder Woman fanclub in Gateway City in her first foray into superheroics she used magical artifacts from her mother's exhibits before gaining powers of her own.
* BareYourMidriff: Sometimes. Cassie's costume is subject to change.
* BashBrothers: With Donna and Diana.
* BlingOfWar: Sported a pinkish (possibly copper) suit of bejeweled armor at one point, in contrast to Diana's gold one and Donna's silver one.
* BoyishShortHair: She starts out with close cropped hair which she keeps hidden under a black wig, eventually she grows it out long enough to put into short [[GirlishPigtails twintails]] and then she just keeps letting it get longer.
* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: In her first appearance she does this in order to use the magical properties of said pieces.
* TheCaptain: To the Teen Titans after Robin made the decision to leave the team for an undetermined length of time in the wake of Batman's death, leaving Cassie with the task of assembling and leading a new team.
* {{Chickification}}: Mostly due to Creator/GeoffJohns's influence in ''Teen Titans'', where she went from a smart, cool nerd to a bland, moody prom-queen.
* ChestInsignia: Wonder Woman's double W usually, though at one point it was a heavily stylized eagle on a tank very similar to what Donna wore as Wonder Girl.
* CivvieSpandex:
** (Pre-Flashpoint) One of the few constants in her [[UnlimitedWardrobe always-changing wardrobe]] is plain blue jeans, or red dyed ones and (at first) a [[HellBentForLeather leather jacket]] save for a couple of LadyLegionnaireWear pieces of armor for special occasions, see UnlimitedWardrobe below.
** (Post-Rebirth) Cassie wears black leggings with yellow star outlines, a skirt, a WW top and a leather WW jacket.
* DependingOnTheArtist:
** In her Teen Titans days both pre and post Flashpoint some artists gave her a lot more cleavage and lower necklines than others, and post-Flashpont there was a tendency to make her breasts bigger than her head and so perfectly round they had to have been implants despite the fact that she's still a high school aged kid.
** Her leather jacket in Rebirth has been drawn with the [[superscript:=]]W[[superscript:=]] warping around the shoulders and with the sleeves left plain.
* DivineParentage: She's the daughter of a human woman and Zeus.
* DysfunctionalFamily: With Zeus for a father and a mother who disapproves of your superhero career, it's understandable.
* {{Flight}}: In her first appearance she uses the Sandals of Hermes to achieve it but she is later granted flight of her own for her courage.
* FlyingBrick: A nigh-invulnerable flyer like Wonder Woman.
* GogglesDoNothing: She started out wearing goggles and a wig in an effort to protect her identity but kept wearing goggles even after she ditched the wig and was wearing the goggles ''up on her hair like a headband''.
* HeadbuttingHeroes: With Ravager on the ''Teen Titans'', complete with TeethClenchedTeamwork.
* HeroicBSOD: After the death of Superboy and the loss of her powers. She has distanced herself from her mother and her teammates, letting her grief and the influence of Ares make her bitter and more violent.
** During ''ComicBook/FiftyTwo'' she also becomes involved in an online cult heavily influenced by Kryptonian culture with the goal of resurrecting Superboy. ComicBook/ElongatedMan grows suspicious and with the help of other superheroes, disrupts the ceremony, destroying the Kryptonite which was essential to the process.
* HeroicBastard: She's Zeus' daughter in Post-Crisis continuity and [[SemiDivine Lennox's]] daughter (himself an example of this) in the New 52.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Cissie King-Jones (Arrowette) in the original ''Comicbook/YoungJustice'' comics.
* IconicItem: Her goggles and the silver vambraces with inlaid red stars Donna Troy gifted to her.
* LadyLooksLikeADude: In her earliest appearances, DC representatives even described her as horse faced.
* TheLeader: She is the second official leader of ComicBook/YoungJustice after [[Comicbook/RobinSeries Robin]] stepped down.
* LegacyCharacter: The second Wonder Girl after Donna Troy. However, in the New 52 universe, she is the first.
* MoralityPet: For Ares and Hercules. Though with Ares it's debatable whether he has any REAL affection for her or if he just sees her as someone incredibly powerful that he can use. As for Hercules, he implied the only reason he calmed himself around was that he wanted to have her as a sexual mate despite being her half-brother, even outright saying they should both repopulate Olympus after the Gods had disappeared.
* MustNotDieAVirgin: She and [[ComicBook/{{Superboy}} Conner Kent]] had TheirFirstTime in an effort to avert this, during Comicbook/InfiniteCrisis. Given [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt what was going on at the time]], pretty understandable.
* NighInvulnerability: Being a demigoddess has its advantages.
* OfficialCouple: With Conner Kent aka ComicBook/{{Superboy}} II before he died. After his resurrection they have decided to put their feelings on hold to allow Cassandra to better lead the Teen Titans, after Red Robin joined the team, however, she relinquished control of the Titans and still has not rekindled her relationship.
* PluckyGirl: When she was first introduced. Since the ComicBook/YoungJustice was disbanded she's wavered between emotionally unstable AlphaBitch and merely bland.
* PaintedOnPants: Starts wearing these as she gets older.
* RedIsHeroic: Most of her costumes use red. While the first two were primarily black even her the first costume is depicted with red shorts by some artists.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: With Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer They nearly kissed in the story ]]''[[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Supergirl: Identity]]''.
* ShockAndAwe: Her lasso can electrocute those it ties up. This because, unlike Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth, Cassie's is a weapon which channels Zeus' lightning in response to her rage.
* {{Sidekick}}: She acts as one to Wonder Woman when one is needed, otherwise she tends to be busy with her own things as she ended up leading her own team not too long after her introduction.
* SuperReflexes: Helped by her SuperSpeed, Cassie is able to react to and deflect bullets with great comfort.
* SuperSpeed: Demigod. The extent of her speed is unknown but decidedly fast.
* SuperStrength: Part of the demigod child of Zeus power pack. Her Olympian flesh and bone is about one and a half times as dense as similar human tissue, contributing to the Olympians' superhuman strength and weight
* TankTopTomboy: After Comicbook/{{Superboy}}'s death, she adopted a WW-themed tank top with jeans similar to what she had worn as leader of ComicBook/YoungJustice but without the jacket she wore then and with plainer jeans.
* {{Tomboy}}: She started out as one, a {{Adorkable}} mythology buff who made zero attempts to appear feminine and kept her hair really short.
* TrueCompanions: With the others who made up the rest of the first six members of ComicBook/YoungJustice, but especially the rest of the "[[FanNickname Core Four]]"; [[Comicbook/{{Superboy}} Kon]], [[Comicbook/RobinSeries Tim]] and [[Comicbook/{{Impulse}} Bart]].
* {{Tsundere}}: Mostly in Sean [=McKeever=]'s ''Teen Titans'' run.
* UnlimitedWardrobe: Prior to Flashpoint Cassie's costume changed frequently, originally with only her leather jacket and goggles staying constant but the Teen Titans writers jettisoned those iconic parts of her uniform:
** 1[[superscript:st]] costume: modified black [[ChestInsignia WW]] shirt with a G superimposed over the [[superscript:=]]W[[superscript:=]] paired with goggles, bicycle shorts, gloves, sneakers, and either a denim vest or a leather jacket. (plus a Gauntlet of Atlas and Sandals of Hermes in her first outing)
** 2[[superscript:nd]] costume: Jeans with white stars scattered on the hips and at the ankles paired with a black [[ChestInsignia WW]] [[BareYourMidriff crop top]], goggles, gloves, sneakers, a leather jacket, and vambraces. (jacket optional)
** 3[[superscript:rd]] costume: Red jeans with white stars scattered on the hips paired with a black [[superscript:=]][[ChestInsignia W]][[superscript:=]] [[BareYourMidriff crop top]] with spaghetti straps or black [[superscript:=]]W[[superscript:=]] t-shirt with a superimposed G, goggles, sneakers, a necklace which says "girl" and vambraces.
** 4[[superscript:th]] costume: Red jeans with white stars down the outer seam (or scattered on hips) paired with a black high neck sleeveless [[ChestInsignia WW]] top, goggles, boots and vambraces.
** 5[[superscript:th]] costume: (Teen Titan) [[PaintedOnPants Red jeans]] with 2/3 white stars in a line down the hips paired with a short sleeve red [[ChestInsignia WW]] [[BareYourMidriff crop top]] with a metal W, boots, a lasso and vambraces.
** 6[[superscript:th]] costume: Jeans with a white or red star on each hip paired with a red tank with a [[ChestInsignia stylized eagle]] and constantly descending neckline, boots, a [[superscript:=]]W[[superscript:=]] belt, red star earrings, a lasso and vambraces.
** 7[[superscript:th]] costume: [[LadyLegionnaireWear Armor]] gifted to her by her half-brother Hercules with red star earrings, a lasso and vambraces. (the first thing on this list which isn't CivvieSpandex).
** 8[[superscript:th]] costume: [[LadyLegionnaireWear Her own version]] of Diana's "[[FanNickname Screaming Chicken Armor]]" in what appears to be copper or bronze with a lasso and vambraces.(not CivvieSpandex).
** 9[[superscript:th]] costume: Plain blue jeans paired with a red three quarter length sweater with a metallic [[superscript:=]]W[[superscript:=]] [[ChestInsignia across the chest]] which has its bands somehow [[ImpossiblyCoolClothes wrapping around her upper arm without restraining movement]] which is possibly a MagicalAccessory gift from her father, boots, an eagle belt, red star earrings, a lasso and (eventually) vambraces.

[[AC:''ComicBook/New52'' Continuity:]]
* DarkerAndEdgier: In this continuity Cassie is a disrespectful thief who is powered by an ArtifactOfDoom and who ran away from her mother after nearly ruining her mother's career.
* MostCommonSuperpower: In this continuity Cassie's breasts were generally drawn at least as big as her head, and were infamously drawn like implants rather than natural breasts by Kenneth Rocafort.
* RapeByProxy: In the New 52, the demon Trigon [[DemonicPossession takes control of Tim Drake (Robin)]] and uses the opportunity to seduce both her and Solstice into sex. All three parties are shocked when this is discovered, but [[NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization all agreed that they enjoyed it]]. Tim and Wonder Girl later begin a relationship proper due to lingering passions from the night they shared together.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Technically Cassie was already related to Diana pre-Flashpoint, since Zeus is Cassie's father and Diana's great-grandfather as Ares is her mother's father, but writers often forget Ares' familial relationship to Diana. In the New 52 Diana is Cassie's aunt since Diana is Zeus's daughter (the writers again forgetting that Zeus is her mother's grandfather) and Cassie's father is now one of Zeus's other illegitimate children. Since that version of Zeus and his offspring were later proven to be false memories, it seemed Cassie and Diana were back to their original family relation, until James Robinson decided to claim Zeus was still Diana's father despite it now contradicting canon.
* TheRunaway: She ran away to become a thief full time after her criminal activities ruined her mother's reputation as an archeologist when Cassie destroyed a temple trying to steal artifacts from it with her boyfriend.
* SensualSpandex: Her costume is skin tight, low-cut, and strapless, revealing a disturbing amount of cleavage intended to tantalize the reader for a high school aged character.
