** The CrocodilesAreGreen depiction of Cuca doesn't originate in Brazilian folklore but in Brazilian media that took several liberties with it. This is more [[JustifiedTrope understandable]], however, as Cuca is a [[{{stock character}} common folklore figure]] throughout the Portuguese diaspora, not unlike The Boogeyman to English speakers, and crocodile Cuca ''is'' distinctly Brazilian.

** Might cross into ArtisticLicenseHistory, assuming there is any accuracy in the accounts, but Iamaricumã were most likely women warriors ''from'' a tribe, rather than an entire tribe of women, who attacked Spanish explorers along side women from another legendary tribe referred to as Icamiabas, meaning there were at least two such groups considered to exist in the amazon forest along the amazon river. They were claimed to have been trying to keep Spaniards from finding "El Dorado" but an attack was most likely triggered by greedy Spaniards unwittingly committing blasphemy, since precious metals like gold and platinum tended to have religions significance rather than monetary value in Mesoamerica.

** Might cross into ArtisticLicenseHistory, assuming there is any accuracy in the accounts, but Iamaricumã were famous for ''killing'' explorers, not protecting and inspiring people. Unless they mellowed out the by time Aella found them, seeking them out alone would have been a death wish.

This is more [[JustifiedTrope understandable]], however, as Cuca is a {{stock character}} throughout the Portuguese disapora, and crocodile Cuca ''is'' distinctly Brazilian.

* ButNotTooForeign: While Yara was indeed born in Brazil to an Amazon of the Amazon, she was forced to flee the country after an attack on her tribe and was raised most of her life in Boise, Idaho. Also, while the tribe itself is indigenous, her mother Aella was originally an Amazon from the Mediterranean region before journeying to the South America. Yara's father was technically a local, he was also a PhysicalGod whose exact nature has yet to be revealed beyond being tied to a river.

* TheJailbaitWait: PlayedForHorror, and this ''is'' a particularly ''horrifying'' example. [[spoiler: It's revealed that Eros knew Yara ever since she was a child because ''he'' was the one who murdered her mother and led the siege that slaughtered her tribe. All so that [[LoveMakesYouEvil he could have her]] [[{{Yandere}} all to himself]] as the perfect wife once Yara was finally of age.]]

* SadlyMythtaken: The series uses the version of Iara in which she would have been an Indigenous warrior who became a mermaid after she was thrown in a river when she had to kill her brothers in self-defense, who were envious from her hunting skills; however, there is no evidence this version has ever actually been in Myth/BrazilianFolklore. On a minor note, Iara is a river mermaid from the folklore of the Northern region of Brazil, but Yara meets her in the Iguazu Falls, which are in the limits of the Paraná, in the Southern region.

* MacGuffinSuperPerson: Due to being TheChosenOne of some grand prophecy, Greek gods commanded by [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Hera]], three Amazonian tribes and at least three mythical figures from Brazilian folklore, including [[EvilSorcerer Cuca]] and [[GaiasVengeance Caipora]], are [[DivineConflict fighting against each other]] to secure Yara's allegiance before another side can get their hooks into her. Hera's seems to win, but the conflict get resolved without them ever using Yara for anything.

* ButNotTooForeign: While Yara was indeed born in Brazil to an Amazon of the Amazon, she was forced to flee the country after an attack on her tribe and was raised most of her life in Boise, Idaho. Also, while the tribe itself is indigenous her mother was originally an Amazon from the Mediterranean region before joining the South American tribe. Yara's father was technically a local, he was also a PhysicalGod whose exact nature has yet to be revealed beyond being tied to a river.

* ContinuityNod: "Amazons Of The Amazon" isn't a new concept, as on the "Silver Age" Earth One an Amazon named Atalanta([[NamedAfterSomebodyFamous II]]) {{start|myown}}ed a tribe there after becoming disillusioned with Hyppolyta on Paradise Island. Atalanta(II) is instead the founder of the Bana-Mighdall Tribe in Mediterranean/North African region with subsequent {{cosmic retcon}}s, but Atalanta is still the first of the old world Amazons to discover Aella's "third tribe" in South America.

* EvilVersusEvil: Hera is TheBigBad, as it was her who ordered the executions of Aella and her child to being with. The knowledge that Hera is looking for Yara again, this time considering turning the powerful demigoddess into an immortal LivingWeapon, is what sends everyone else into a panic over what may happen if they don't get to Yara Flor before her. However, it's revealed that among the varies parties out to stop Hera, that Cuca is just as bad as, and even more [[EvilIsPetty petty]] than Hera is.

* GlamourFailure: Yara Flor, João and Eros instantly see through Cuca's disguise when she tries to charm Yara. Putting extra effort into her glamour allows her to fool Yara and João the next time she tries but every other Esquecida can still see through it and freak out at the sight of Yara allow her to operate in public among civilians.

* MacGuffinSuperPerson: Due to being TheChosenOne of some grand prophecy, both the Greek and Brazilian Pantheons are [[DivineConflict fighting against each other]] to secure Yara's allegiance before the other side can get their hooks into her.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Themyscira, the Bana-Mighdall and the Escquecidas all have roughly the same goal regarding Yara Flor but all assume the worst of each other and don't ''talk''. Furthermore, the two assassins Hyppolyta sent Cassie Sandsmark to assist assume Sandsmark's an amazon from an unidentified tribe and attempt to throw her out of Brazil for being "embarrassing our kind" alongside Artemis, who was attacking Sandsmark under the mistaken assumption Sandsmark was following her. When Artemis and Cassie do find Yara, Cassie insists the two at least listen to ''her'' before throwing down. While the first Esquecida Cassie encounters continues to trend of instigating unnecessary hostilities it's finally averted with the tribe as a whole, who welcome Donna Troy with open arms when she stumbles upon them trying to find out why Cassie hasn't been keeping in touch.

* ButNotTooForeign: While Yara was indeed born in Brazil to an Amazon of the Amazon, she was forced to flee the country after an attack on her tribe and was raised most of her life in Boise, Idaho.
* ConflictKiller: The fight between Hera's Forces and The Esquecida with the Wonder Girls backing them is killed when Zeus takes notice and directs his wrath at everyone, starting with crushing fellow god Eros and sending him to Tarturs. Luckily for both the rest of the former combatants Cassie Sandsmark had been waiting for it, made a beeline for Zeus, and convinced him to let Yara leave with the Esquecida.

* TheGenericGuy: João, a {{Hunk}} bus driver who becomes one of Yara's love interests, doesn't really get much development beyond being a NiceGuy and is largely [[OutOfFocus written out of the plot]] during the final act.
* TheJailbaitWait: PlayedForHorror as this is a particularly ''horrifying'' example. [[spoiler: It's revealed that Eros knew Yara ever since she was a child because ''he'' was the one who murdered her mother and led the siege that slaughtered her tribe. All so that [[LoveMakesYouEvil he could have her]] [[{{Yandere}} all to himself]] as the perfect wife once Yara was finally of age.]]

* MalignedMixedMarriage: The Olympians hate the fact that Aella had left The Amazons, back when they Amazons were still in the their good graces, to start a relationship with a god they had never heard of on another continent. Bearing that god's child was more than Hera in particular could stand, as she sent Eros to execute Aella and her child. Hera forgives Eros for being too soft to kill a child when she learns Yara Flor is quite strong and could be molded into a powerful LivingWeapon, but makes a point of letting Yara know her potential is the only reason she tolerates Yara's ancestry and also makes the point to Eros to ''not'' let Zeus know she's considering turning another pantheon's spawn into her personal champion.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: Yara develops feelings for Eros during her time on Olympus. Eros however hopes to convince Yara to become Hera's immortal champion so they can avert this trope.

* SadlyMythtaken: Iara is a river mermaid from the folklore of the Northern region of Brazil, but Yara meets her in the Iguazu Falls, which are in the limits of the Paraná, in the Southern region.

* MsFanservice: Yara is a ''gorgeous'' young woman who has a penchant for wearing outfits that greatly emphasize her [[HartmanHips hips]], [[ShesGotLegs legs]], and [[MaleGaze shapely derriere]]. Even Eros, the Greek God of Love, ends up [[InLoveWithTheMark genuinely falling for her]] during his mission to seduce her into staying on Mount Olympus as Hera's Champion. [[spoiler: As noted above, Eros' attraction takes a darker twist once it's shown that he has known Yara longer than he let on.]]

* TheGenericGuy: Joao, a {{Hunk}} bus driver who becomes one of Yara's love interests, doesn't really get much development beyond being a NiceGuy and is largely [[OutOfFocus written out of the plot]] during the final act.

Despite there being a released synopsis for an eighth issue, the series was officially announced by DC to have been [[CutShort canceled]] with issue #7 serving as its impromptu finale. Fortunately, Yara's story is set to continue in 2022's ''Trial of the Amazons'' [[BatFamilyCrossover crossover event]].

* TheJailbaitWait: A particularly ''horrifying'' example. [[spoiler: It's revealed that Eros knew Yara ever since she was a child because ''he'' was the one who murdered her mother and led the siege that slaughtered her tribe.
