the gods, had one daughter, Princess Diana. Princess Diana was gifted extraordinary
power by Zeus to fight evil. Like other Amazons, Diana was raised in safety on the
island of Themyscira, where she was isolated from the rest of the world, the "Man's
World." She trained in typical amazon fashion, becoming a capable and fierce
warrior. As such, She is a skilled tactician and hunter.
