History Characters / WonderGirlDonnaTroy

* 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 Darkstar 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. In one of Donna's most pivotal Post Crisis stories she's seriously hindered by Giganta, one of Diana's middling foes. In another Donna is able to last in a prolonged battle with Eclipso, [[FallenAngel the former agent of God's wrath]] who is functionally and [[SizeShifter literally]] heavier than Giganta on the villain threat scale.

** 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 Hippolyta]]. 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.

* 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.

* TheRealRemingtonSteele: The character of "Wonder Girl" originally appeared as the teenaged incarnation of Characters/{{Wonder Woman|TheCharacter}} in ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'' (just as the original Superboy was the youthful identity of Characters/{{Superman|TheCharacter}}). When the Comicbook/TeenTitans were created in the 1960s, Wonder Girl was added to the team... but the Titans were contemporaries of the ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica, [[SeriesContinuityError and by extension of Wonder Woman]]. Thus the Titans' Wonder Girl was explained four years later to be Donna Troy, an orphan rescued by Wonder Woman and raised among the Amazons. (This explanation would be subjected to repeated [[{{Retcon}} further revisions]] due to Franchise/TheDCU's constant reboots and retoolings, with [[ContinuitySnarl/DonnaTroy the result being that Donna has an impossibly convoluted history even for a comic book character]]. For a while it was even said that she is left over from TheMultiverse as it existed before most dimensions were destroyed and the survivors merged during ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths,'' making her ''a walking TemporalParadox who has multiple conflicting histories by nature!'' However, DC's continued inability to leave well enough alone means that that is now no longer true and she's ''still'' getting new origins every few years - some of which are actually ''impossible'' due to the revised histories of related characters!)

* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: In ''Comicbook/{{Wonder Woman|1987}}'' volume 2 Donna Troy descides to appeal to Urzkartaga face to face while Diana tries to protect civilians([[SaveTheVillain and Angle Man]]) endangered by a fight between Sebastian Ballesteros and Barbara Minerva over The Cheetah powers. Urzkartaga ends up beating Donna up but he relents when she makes a sound arguement that Sebastian is as lousy a host as Barbara was. Ultimately Diana manges to beat Sebastian and Barbara down on her own, since they've worn each other out so much, and all Donna's talk accomplishes long term is Urzkartarga giving Barbara a second chance as Cheetah after she finally kills Sebastian, but he does peacefully back down from Donna.

* 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 [[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 what she called "Kori's backwash".

* DrowningTheirSorrows: After the initial Fab Five team disband in ''ComicBook/TitansRebirth'', Dick finds Donna to be day-drinking whilst exercising. Later on, she does this one more time when [[Characters/GreenArrowSpeedy Roy Harper]] dies during ''ComicBook/HeroesInCrisis'', although it later goes away.

* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: In ''Comicbook/{{Wonder Woman|1987}}'' volume 2 Donna Troy descides to appeal to Urzkartaga face to face while Diana tries to protect civilians endangered by a fight between Sebastian Ballesteros and Barbara Minerva over The Cheetah powers. Urzkartaga ends up beating Donna up but he relents when she makes a sound arguement that Sebastian is as lousy a host as Barbara was.

Urzkartaga ends up beating Donna up but he relents when she makes a sound arguement that Sebastian is as lousy a host as Barbara was. Ultimately Diana manges to beat Sebastian and Barbara down on her own, since they've worn each other out so much, and all Donna's talk accomplishes long term is a Urzkartarga giving Barbara a second chance as Cheetah after she finally kills Sebastian, but he at least lets Donna leave in peace.

* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: After the amazons depart from Earth to restore their strength in the Silver Age, Donna Troy tries to pass off not having any place to bunk by hiding out in Titan Tower and sleeping there when no one else is in it. Kid Flash catches on to this but lets Donna be until she comes down with an illness no one can explain and declares this life style is not helping her health.

* TheSpook: Donna tells her first origin story when she's overcome by an unidentified illness The Teen Titans think is linked to the weakening of the amazons, to Wonder Woman losing her powers, and Donna has to explain that she's only an adopted amazon, so it can't be related. Turns out no one knew who Donna Troy's parents were, how they got into an apartment room that wasn't being rented by anyone, their bodies were too charred by the apartment fire to be identified and no one could find the baby in any of the records. Wonder Woman gives up on trying to find out who the child is, and then gives up on finding her a place in man's world, dubbing her Donna Troy and taking her to "Paradise Island". Donna does eventually decide to do her own investigating into her biological family as she gets older, however.

* ShadowArchetype: To the New 52 Nikos Aegeus, another super-powered problem "child" to the LongLived 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, Donna 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.

** Pre-Crisis Wonder Girl is held captive by Doctor Cyber, and while she ''can'' escape on her own, she realizes she can't get out of Cyber's confinement quickly enough to prevent Wonder Woman [[TakeMeInstead taking the bait]].

** 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."

* 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.

** The star field of her suit sometimes continues into her hair, and sometimes does not. The star field does serve a purpose in the setting and there's technically nothing stopping Donna from adding it to any sufficiently dark and maleable surface, but the hows and whys are rarely addressed in the plot.

* FriendlyAddressPrivileges: She takes offense to Chaos identifying her as "Troia" and "Darkstar", telling him "It's Donna to you!" Post Crisis Donna even applied this to an alternate version of herself, who was listing all of Donna's previous identities and insisting nothing would ever "stick" [[CainAndAbel as long as there was an older sister in her life.]]

* HypocrisyNod: It's not entirely lost on Donna that she's trying to solve a ''perceived'' problem by coercing Diana into The Lasso of Truth during ''ComicBook/DawnOfDC'' after Donna was one of many amazons refusing to bound to solve a known problem back in ''ComicBook/DCInfiniteFrontier''.

* 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. She also posses the Lasso of Persuasion, which can [[TruthSerums compel those who are captured by it to answer the questions of its wielder truthfully]] so long as the [[HeroicWillpower Donna's willpower]] is stronger.

* 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.

** Pre Crisis Wonder Girl is held captive by Doctor Cyber, and while she ''can'' escape on her own, she realizes she can't get out of Cyber's confinement quickly enough to prevent Wonder Woman [[TakeMeInstead taking the bait]].

* {{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.

* TheHeart: Of the ComicBook/TeenTitans, especially in the first incarnation.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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 [[CulturalPosturing amazons]] were the most fearsome warriors anyone could be trained by.

* 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 [[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.

* 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 super heroism 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.

* SuccessfulSiblingSyndrome: In ''Whatever Happened To The Warrior Of Truth'' it is revealed Donna Troy has dreams of talking to Diana, where she confesses that she feels inadequate, that she 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.

[[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 often 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.

Later on, she does this one more time when [[Characters/GreenArrowSpeedy Roy Harper]] dies during ''ComicBook/HeroesInCrisis'', although it later goes away.

Donna Troy was first created when Creator/BobHaney forgot that Wonder Girl was actually meant to be a young version of Diana akin to the then running Superboy comic. She would then join the Teen Titans alongside her new-found friends [[Characters/NightwingDickGrayson Robin]], [[Characters/TheFlashWallyWest Kid Flash]], [[Characters/{{Tempest}} Aqualad]] and the flirtacious [[Characters/ArsenalRoyHarper Speedy]]. She would gain her iconic red outfit in issue #22 of the series.

* 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 Darkstar 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. In one of Donna's most pivotal Post Crisis stories she's seriously hindered by Giganta, one of Diana's middling foes. In another Donna is able to last in a prolonged battle with Eclipso, the former agent of God's wrath who is functionally and [[SizeShifter literally]] heavier than Giganta on the villain threat scale.

* 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.

* 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".

* 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.

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]]. \\

* 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.
