| 36 | 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. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | 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/AquamanSupportingCast Aqualad]] and the flirtacious [[Characters/GreenArrowSpeedy Speedy]]. She would gain her iconic red outfit in issue #22 of the series. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | 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]]. |

| 46 | !!Donna Troy provides examples of: |
| 47 | |
| 48 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 49 | |
| 50 | [[folder:A-H]] |
| 51 | * 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. |
| 52 | * 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 policy if given a reason to swing, usually settling for simply leaving the enemy's body in mostly one piece, if she can afford to. This puts Donna Troy more inline with most amazons of Themyscira in actions, if not in words. |
| 53 | * AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: Originally the {{plot hole}} of Diana past self joining the Teen Titans, as well as ''not'' suffering the same DePower the amazons had to leave Earth to avoid, was filled by revealing Donna Troy was in fact Diana's adopted sister wearing Diana's old clothes. She wasn't an amazons by birth by gained her powers through [[MadScientist amazon experiments performed on her]], so Donna didn't have to leave the planet to keep them. Come ''Crisis On Infinite Earths'', Paradise Island is replaced with Themyscira, a place Donna Troy has never bee, and Diana is leaving Themyscira for the first time while Donna Troy already has an active career, so Donna and Diana are no longer sisters, but distant cousins at best by way of Donna being adopted by The Titans of Myth instead, and functionally complete strangers [[MythologyGag intrigued by each others' existence]]. When John Byrne became the ''Wonder Woman'' writer he had this retconned them into being sisters again, but Donna was no longer adopted but a mirror clone of Diana who had grown up with her on Themyscira. This was retconned twice more, resulting in Donna having been all of these things while leaving everyone else confused. |
| 54 | * AdoptedIntoRoyalty: One of her backstories is that Donna was an orphaned toddler saved from a fire by Diana and taken to the princess's home to be treated, whereupon Queen Hippolyta took a shine to the child and adopted her into the royal family, making her an Amazon WarriorPrincess. |
| 55 | * AdoptiveNameChange: A subversion occurred in the Pre-Crisis Donna Troy backstory. After Diana rescued an infant with no documentation from a fire and took her home where she was adopted as Diana's sister, who would go on to become the first Wonder Girl, the Amazonian royal family ''thought'' they were renaming her by christening her Donna. The ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' story ''ComicBook/WhoIsDonnaTroy'' revealed that by some chance or by Diana's innate connection to the truth Donna was her birth name after all. |
| 56 | * AgeGapRomance: Donna was in her late teens when she met her future (short-lived) husband Terry, who was 29 at the time, and her [[TeacherStudentRomance professor]] at that. Terry frequently joked about their age gap. |
| 57 | * AlternateSelf |
| 58 | ** Dark Angel is an alternate Donna Troy who was raised by The Anitmoniter rather than Diana and Hippolyta. Dark Angel hates her dad, resents the Donna Troy we follow for her better life, and is determined to replace Donna's history of a loving family with one of suffering. |
| 59 | ** 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 strangled the Diana who adopted her with Diana's own lasso in a fit of [[DrivenByEnvy 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 killing Diana will make her feel better too. |
| 60 | ** An evil version of her from the future (similar to [[ComicBook/TotalChaos her son]] and [[ComicBook/TitansTomorrow her teammates]]) appears in ''ComicBook/TitansRebirth'' |
| 61 | ** The Superwoman of ComicBook/DCInfiniteFrontier is not an alternate Lois Lane [[BreakingOldTrends this time]] but an alternate Donna Troy who is trying to build an army powerful enough to overthrow her mother Hippolyta, after learning Hippolyta killed her older sister Diana for being "soft". |
| 62 | * AmazonianBeauty: DependingOnTheArtist. She's always depicted as being very beautiful and is often given a toned musculature that doesn't detract from her attractiveness. |
| 63 | * AnIcePerson: More so 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. |
| 64 | * ArtificialFamilyMember: One version of her birth has her being a magically 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. |
| 65 | * BackFromTheDead: Donna Troy (alongside her friend [[Characters/TeenTitansOriginalTeenTitans Lilith Clay]]) died at a Franchise/{{Superman}} robot's hands in ''ComicBook/TitansYoungJusticeGraduationDay'' and was reborn right before ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis''. |
| 66 | * BadassCape |
| 67 | ** Wore one while serving as goddess of the moon. Combined with the cold and dark manipulating powers that came with the position, and the firmament The Titans of Myth had gifted her, Donna could create the illusion she had caused night to fall while bearing down on someone. |
| 68 | ** As Wonder Woman, Donna more commonly wore a cape than Diana had. |
| 69 | * BadassInDistress: Donna Troy tends to be targeted by villains after her more famous sister. Usually it turns out to be a fool's errand but sometimes... |
| 70 | ** 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 from [[TakeMeInstead taking the bait]]. |
| 71 | ** Post Crisis, it was ''assumed'' Dark Angel was after Diana and grabbed Donna by mistake, but it turned out Dark Angel understood Donna Troy better than the protagonists and was content to ruin Donna's family life, one way or the other. Giganta however was so uninterested she used Donna Troy [[UnwillingSuspension as a necklace]] while publicly demanding the ''[[PretenderDiss real]]'' Wonder Woman show up. |
| 72 | * BarrierWarrior: As a Titan Seed Donna Troy could create force fields. |
| 73 | * BashBrothers: With Diana, Cassie, and in a cross-gender example, Dick Grayson. |
| 74 | * BlingOfWar: Sported a silver suit of Greek-style armor in one arc, and has silver markings on her Troia costume. |
| 75 | * BlushSticker: For whatever reason, she has permanent blush stickers in ''ComicBook/TeenTitansYearOne''. |
| 76 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: |
| 77 | ** When the Titans of Myth revived her following her death by the rogue Superman android, [[FakeMemories 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." |
| 78 | ** 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. |
| 79 | ** [[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.]] |
| 80 | * BrainwashedBride: The Titans of Myth made Donna Troy into the wife of Coeus while having her fill in for Phoebe as moon goddess. |
| 81 | * BuxomBeautyStandard: She has [[MostCommonSuperpower the busty figure that's expected from an Amazon]], and the cleavage in her outfits caught the eye of many of her teammates, and even some of her villains like Bogeyman, [[MyEyesAreUpHere whom she has to warn to keep his eyes on her face]] when she confronts him in prison. |
| 82 | * CastingAShadow: As a moon goddess Donna could suppress light sources and even manipulate the very shadows. |
| 83 | * ChestInsignia: As Wonder Girl, the insignia on her red shirt was a variation of the soaring eagle Wonder Woman uses. |
| 84 | * TheChewToy: She's doomed to suffer in her Post-Crisis incarnation. Ostensibly it is the villain Dark Angel who has cursed Donna to this fate, but in reality ThePowersThatBe can't agree on what to do with Donna Troy, and Dark Angel is a symptom of that. |
| 85 | * ColourCodedForYourConvenience |
| 86 | ** 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]]. |
| 87 | ** 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. |
| 88 | ** 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. |
| 89 | * CoolBigSis: She tries to be a cool, older sister figure to Cassie Sandsmark, who does really look up to and admires Donna for being the first adult to take her seriously as a hero instead of trying to talk her out of it. Donna even gifted Cassie the bullet-proof bracelets she wore during her time as Wonder Girl. |
| 90 | * 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. |
| 91 | * 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 Donna back to Paradise Island, which wasn't even called that anymore, impossible. |
| 92 | * DeathIsCheap: Died and came back, much like half the heroes out there. |
| 93 | * DeflectorShields: Her Darkstar exomantel came with a personal force field that enhanced Donna's durability. |
| 94 | * DependingOnTheArtist: Her hair has a nominally set appearance for each era of her life, but some artists stray from the norm: |
| 95 | ** 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. |
| 96 | ** She also usually parts her hair on the left, but not all artists are consistent with this depiction. |
| 97 | ** 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 malleable surface, but the hows and whys are rarely addressed in the plot. |
| 98 | * 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 aren't even consistent, as when ''Wonder Woman'' is the subject the two are ''usually'' painted as equals regardless, but in ''Teen Titans'' Donna is often described as weaker than Starfire without the extra gifts. Since Tamaranians were established early on to be inferior to Kryptonians when it comes to solar powers and Wonder Woman was supposed to be "every bit as strong as Superman" since at least 1945, this would put unboosted Donna far behind big sis. 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. |
| 99 | * {{Determinator}}: She's known for being indecisive, but having an iron will once she settles on something(Mainly because of all the horrors she has endured in her tenure), which is actually weaponized by her Lasso of Persuasion, which she can use to command those caught in it as long as her willpower is stronger. |
| 100 | * 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. |
| 101 | * 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/ArsenalRoyHarper Roy Harper]] dies during ''ComicBook/HeroesInCrisis'', although it later goes away. |
| 102 | * EffectiveKnockoff: When Donna Troy was a MagicMirror clone of Diana, it was explained that Diana's truth powers were innate and the lasso of truth were merely a conduit that let her apply them to others. While Starlabs were not able to make an indestructible infinite length lariat like the gods, they could give Donna her own conduit lasso. This was done away with, however, as Donna mirror clone status was retconned away and the lasso of truth was reestablished to have compulsive power independent of Diana. Instead Donna got the old magic lasso, of which the lasso of truth is technically the effective knockoff of. |
| 103 | * EnergyWeapon: The main weapons of the Darkstar Exomantle were wrist mounted "maser systems". Donna also had a ShoulderCannon if that proved insufficient. |
| 104 | * FanservicePack: ''The Return of Donna Troy'' featured Donna wearing the same star field leotard she had in the late 1990s on the cover, but the outfit she actually started wearing on panel didn't come with the necklace, replacing it with a choker and a plunging neckline. |
| 105 | * 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. |
| 106 | * 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 Belthera recruited. The other Donna 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,]] and ''this'' Donna liked her older sister far more than this mirror image of herself. |
| 107 | * FriendlyRivalry: Donna has a friendly rivalry with Starfire over who's the better ActionGirl in ''Teen Titans''. |
| 108 | * 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 goddesses in New 52 by Zeus, who healed her by turning Donna into a Fate after their murders left the position open. |
| 109 | * 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 [[IShallTauntYou egging them on]] until [[RealityWarper he could become]] that which they envy most; Diana of Themyscira and Barry Allen. |
| 110 | * HandBlast: Donna Troy's most consistent use of her Titan Seed photon powers was shooting light from her hands. As a Darkstar she had [[ArmCannon the technological variant.]] |
| 111 | * HappilyAdopted: She's satisfied with her upbringing in the continuities where she's been adopted by Hippolyta, even though she has little interest in the Amazon throne or being a princess. |
| 112 | * TheHeart: Due to her kind and empathetic personality, she's usually the emotional pillar of the ComicBook/TeenTitans, especially in the first incarnation. |
| 113 | * 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. |
| 114 | * HumanWeapon: Potira boast that The Esquecida have a weapon which when ready will breach the barriers of Olympus, beat back the forces of Hera within and allow them to rescue 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. Donna found the hidden city of Akahim during her search. |
| 115 | * 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 be bound to solve a known problem back in ''ComicBook/DCInfiniteFrontier''. |
| 116 | * HypocriticalHeartwarming |
| 117 | ** 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. |
| 118 | ** 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. |

| 123 | * IHaveManyNames: Wonder Girl ([[LegacyCharacter the second]], Pre Crisis, the first, Post Crisis and Rebirth), Troia, Darkstar, Goddess of the Moon, Wonder Woman, Donna Prince, Fate, Deathbringer. |
| 124 | * 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. |
| 125 | * 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 bullets shot back into another. To be fair, Donna was talking about ''Artemis'' but everyone else was thinking of ''Diana''. |
| 126 | * KidHeroAllGrownUp: Donna started her hero career as a KidSidekick to Diana, but over time she has grown up, gotten married, had a child, become a widow ''and'' outlived her child. [[CosmicPlaything And that's just skimming the surface. Gal's had it rough]]. |
| 127 | * 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. Donna possess the Lasso of Persuasion, which can [[compel those who are captured by it to obey the command of its holder]] so long as the [[HeroicWillpower Donna's willpower]] is stronger. |
| 128 | * KryptoniteFactor: In the Silver Age Donna Troy's powers came from the purple healing ray, and prolonged usage of the purple healing ray could weaken Donna, for some reason. This first happened when the amazons had left the mortal plane altogether and the other Teen Titans were under the mistaken assumption Donna was weakening because she did not go with them. It turned out even moving the device to another reality altogether was not enough to break their connection. |
| 129 | * LargeRunt: Donna Troy has always been taller than the average woman, but she's typically drawn shorter than Diana, who herself is only average height for an amazon. Post Crisis, The gargareans even refer to Donna Troy as "The Smaller One" before learning her name. |
| 130 | * LightEmUp: One of her Titan Seed powers was the ability to generate and manipulate photons. |
| 131 | * 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. |
| 132 | * LivingLieDetector: [[ContinuitySnarl Not always]], but silver age and mirror clone Donna are able to telepathically sense when she's being lied to. |
| 133 | * MadeOfIndestructium: Her bracelets and lasso are completely indestructible. |
| 134 | * ManchurianAgent: Post Crisis, the monster known as Genocide plants an EmotionBomb in Donna that causes Donna to lash out at Diana whenever Donna comes close to The Lasso of Truth, which is what Diana normally uses to undo MindManipulation. Genocide also {{curse}}d the lariat to burn the sisters on contact, trying her very hardest to make sure it would play no role in "fixing" Donna. |
| 135 | * MidSeasonUpgrade: In the ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' 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. |
| 136 | * MindControlDevice: The Lasso of Persuasion can compel those Donna binds in it to follow whatever commands she gives so long as she holds it. It's not as good at {{deprogram}}ming someone already under the affects of MindManipulation, but is otherwise more versatile than The Lasso of Truth in this respect. |
| 137 | * 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. |
| 138 | * MostCommonSuperPower: While often not as buxom as Diana, she's still drawn with a lot of cleavage. Especially in the yellow starred Wonder Girl suit she started wearing in the 1970s and the black leotard she wore after returning from death, Post Crisis. |
| 139 | * MsFanservice: During her time with ''Titans,'' she often ran around in bikinis. In the mid-2000s, her outfit also developed a [[NavelDeepNeckline plunging neckline]]. |
| 140 | * 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. |
| 141 | * 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. |
| 142 | * 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. In fact that same arc had Donna survive lasers InTheBack from Trinity in a scene parallel to Diana being blasted by Super Doomsday. Why Donna suddenly could not handle a last ditch attack from the Superman robot she was dismantling was not explained. Usually Donna is as tough as Diana, however tough that may happen to be at the moment. |
| 143 | * NoInfantileAmnesia: In ''ComicBook/WhoIsDonnaTroy'', Donna has pretty clear memories of events that happened when she was 3 years old. |
| 144 | * 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, again during her stint as a moon goddess and again while 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". |
| 145 | * 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. |
| 146 | * PlatonicLifePartners: With Dick Grayson (Robin I/Nightwing/Batman III). They have been ChildhoodFriends and partners in the ComicBook/TeenTitans and the ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica, but Donna is one of the few DC females who is ''not'' romantically interested in [[TheCasanova Dick]]. Considering she gets away with [[http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo4pjeG2UG1qmavteo1_500.png greeting ''Batman'' with a brofist]], may also count as OneOfTheBoys. |
| 147 | * 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 recalling 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 with a little motivation from The Teen Titans, beats Doctor Cyber. |
| 148 | * 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. |
| 149 | * 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. |
| 150 | * 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. |
| 151 | * 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!) |
| 152 | * 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. |
| 153 | * SaveTheVillain: Post Crisis, Angle Man unwittingly transports himself to Donna Troy's location while fleeing a [[TouchedByVorlons Fury empowered]] Barbara Minerva and [[AintTooProudToBeg begs]] Donna to save him. Donna [[FriendlyEnemy does just that]] |
| 154 | * SiblingTeam: With Diana. The few stories where they aren't siblings are usually where they aren't a team. |
| 155 | * SidekickGraduationsStick: Whether as Troia, Wonder Woman IV, or plain old Donna Troy, Donna's been a superheroine in her own right for years. |
| 156 | * 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. |
| 157 | * 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. |
| 158 | * 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. |
| 159 | * SuccessfulSiblingSyndrome: In ''Whatever Happened To The Warrior Of Truth'' it is revealed Donna Troy has dreams of talking to her adoptive older sister 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. |
| 160 | * 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. |
| 161 | * SuperSpeed: Much faster than normal humans. During Infinite Frontier Donna Troy traveled unaided across a continent and an ocean in under a day. |
| 162 | * SuperStrength: One of the strongest heroines around, in the same category as Diana, Supergirl, and Power Girl. |
| 163 | * 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. |
| 164 | * 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. |
| 165 | * TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: After the amazons depart from Earth to restore their strength in the Silver Age, Donna Troy tries to hide the fact she has no place to bunk by hiding in Titan Tower until everyone else has left and then sleeping. Kid Flash catches on to this but lets Donna be until she comes down with an illness no one can explain. He declares this life style is not helping her health and demands she find proper living quarters. |
| 166 | * 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. |
| 167 | * TouchedByVorlons: In one version of her origins, she was granted powers similar to Diana by the Amazons' Purple Ray. In another, she was a "Titan Seed", an orphan who had been rescued by the Titans of Myth and granted superpowers. After her death in ''Titans/Young Justice: Graduation Day'', she was resurrected as a Moon Goddess by the Titans of Myth. |
| 168 | * TuckAndCover: Ray Palmer [[FaceDeathWithDignity resigns himself to death]] after seeing an atomic bomb go off in his city but Donna Troy refuses to let him perish, attempting to shield Ray from the incoming shock waves. |
| 169 | * 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. |
| 170 | * 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. |
| 171 | * WrestlerInAllOfUs: Post Crisis Donna's used [[NotQuiteFlight variations]] of the Polish Hammer, battering ram and [[IKnowMaddenKombat spear tackle]]. |

| 175 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/donna_troy_52.jpg]] |
| 176 | |
| 177 | A version of Donna that briefly existed in ''ComicBook/WonderWoman2011'' before being RetGone away. |
| 178 | ---- |
| 179 | * AdaptationalBackstoryChange: This version of Donna Troy was never ComicBook/WonderGirl and was BornAsAnAdult by the murderous misandrist Derinoe, who disliked their new Queen's decision to allow their Amazon brothers to live amongst them, and created Donna to be a EvilKnockoff of Diana and led a Amazon rebellion. 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. |
| 180 | * AdaptationalVillainy: This Donna Troy was created to be an EvilCounterpart replacement for Diana rather than her sister and ally, with her introductory story arc having her lead a rebellious Amazon faction. |
| 181 | * AdaptationalWimp: She's not a FlyingBrick, being unable to fly and being much weaker and slower than most versions of Donna. |
| 182 | * AllegedLookalikes: She's supposed to be an exact EvilKnockoff copy of Diana, but was often drawn with a different face and is sometimes a little shorter. |
| 183 | * ArtificialHuman: She was artificially created by Derinoe to replicate the clay origin of Diana herself. |
| 184 | * BeautyEqualsGoodness: In ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' 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. |
| 185 | * BornAsAnAdult: This version of Donna was never a child but an ArtificialHuman created as an adult using magic and clay. 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. |
| 186 | * 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. |
| 187 | * 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. |
| 188 | * 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. |
| 189 | * EvilCounterpart: She was created InUniverse to be [[EvilKnockoff a replacement for Diana]] by Amazons who disliked their new Queen's decision to allow their Amazon brothers to live amongst them. |
| 190 | * EvilKnockoff: Donna Troy was deliberately made as one for Diana. She even has Diana's original backstory of being made of clay. |
| 191 | * LadyLegionnaireWear: Her outfit includes pteruges over pants. |
| 192 | * LegionOfDoom: In ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' 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. |
| 193 | * NakedOnArrival: Since was created by Derinoe and BornAsAnAdult, her very first appearance has her emerging naked from a MagicCauldron (which is [[SexySurfacingShot played for fanservice]]) with only CensorSteam covering her body. |
| 194 | * PullingThemselvesTogether: This Donna takes "made of clay" a lot more literally than Diana did in previous 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.]] |
| 195 | * 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 DOES succeed in giving Donna a stronger sense of empathy and morality. She just fails at making Donna a functional member of society. |
| 196 | * RetGone: This version of Donna was very badly received, and she has been slowly retconned out of existence by a BroadStrokes claim that she was just BrainwashedAndCrazy (even though it doesn't explain her clay PullingThemselvesTogether powers). |
| 197 | * ShadowArchetype: To the New 52 Nikos Aegeus, another super-powered problem "child" to the LongLived Diana, whom Diana spares the life of in belief he can be reformed. While attempting to reform Donna causes Donna 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 with him. |
| 198 | * 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. |
| 199 | * StoneWall: On paper, this Donna Troy should be far inferior to Diana. In practice, it turned out Diana's new WarGod powers were actually killing Diana, since she refused to embrace her status as such. This made Diana's body more fragile than usual while Donna could repair or own, [[PullingThemselvesTogether, to an extent]], giving Donna more staying power. |
| 200 | * 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. |
| 201 | * WindsOfDestinyChange: After "Zeek" saves her life by turning her into a Fate, Donna Troy uses her newfound 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 effect of bringing Ares back to life. |
