Personality:
Wonder Woman born of the Amazons has a strong sense of femininity. Her sense of justice is righteous, her courage unmatched, her independence fiery, and her discipline unshakable. Diana is loyal to her fellow Amazons and the Justice League, even going so far as risking her life daily to ensure their cause succeeds.

Powers:

• Superhuman Strength: Granted by Demeter (Goddess of the Earth). Diana is literally as strong as the Earth because of her link to the planet granted to her by Demeter. She is quite possibly capable of lifting anything on earth. It is obvious her strength is magical in nature, given her height and weight. According to the secret files, Wonder Woman's strength is second only to Superman. She has godlike strength and also invulnerability due to her aegis-made shield magic bracelets. With her superhuman strength and superior fighting abilities, she has proven to be a match for any of them at one time or another. During the War of the Gods, she was forced to fight and defeated Captain Marvel. Later she needed and took out the six other members of the Justice League, in Justice League; League of One. This was done in order to save their lives as well as the entire planet. She over-powered and subdued Supergirl with relative ease more so than expected, suggesting that she is stronger than any Kryptonian female. She is strong enough to lift well over 100 tons with ease.
  
  
• Superhuman Durability: Granted by Demeter (Goddess of the Earth). High resistance to damage and magical attacks. Her resistance to injury is not quite as great as any of the above mentioned meta-humans. However, due to her vast threshold for pain and her amazon ability to heal at a superhuman rate, this easily makes up for the difference. She has withstood considerable bludgeoning damage in the form of hand to hand combat with meta-human opponents (such as Superman and Captain Marvel) and physical damage (as seen when she is knocked back through two multi-story office buildings and then buried beneath them). She has considerable resistance to human weaponry, although there are inconsistencies in her ability to resist injury, the variances are probably due to discrepancies in observation. High powered rifle fire will cause her some pain, but no injury other than minor bruising. She can easily survive under extreme pressures, freeze and heat. Born of the clay of Themyscira, and given life and divine powers by the gods themselves, Diana has heightened resistance to magical attacks. She is highly experienced in battling foes who use sorcery as a weapon. As a divine creation herself, she is far less susceptible to manipulation by magic and mental attack than many of her fellow powerhouse heroes. Her body is also able to survive in extreme environments for long periods of time, like heat, cold, and even outer space, but cannot survive for extremely long periods of time in said environments without oxygen supply.
  
  
• Flight: Granted by Hermes (God of Messengers). Wonder Woman is capable of unassisted flight through an as yet unknown but probably magical means or through telekinesis. Her aerial maneuverability is not as developed as aerial combatants such as Hawkman or the Black Condor, but she is still a relatively capable aerial combatant as well. Wonder Woman is capable of flying at speeds of at least earth's orbital velocity (5 miles a second) and most likely, even escape velocity.
  
  
• Superhuman Speed: Granted by Hermes (God of Messengers). She is able to think, react and move at superhuman speeds. She has been clocked at Mach 5 (hyper-sonic) traveling in flight just over an hour and can be presumed to be much faster when she has to be. Her super-speed, while impressive, is not as comparable to that of the Flash. Since Wonder Woman lacks a speed aura of the fastest speedsters, the environmental effects/disruptions that she causes probably give her the decision sometimes from utilizing super speed mobility as a common mode of travel. It is unknown how long she can maintain a speedster's average pace (which we clock at approximately 125 mph (2.08 miles/second) to 200 mph (3.3 mile/sec) inter-city and 225 mph (3.75 miles/sec) to 500 mph (8.3 miles/sec) over land outside of cities), though with her superhuman stamina, she can probably last as long as her counterparts, at her level.
  
  
• Superhuman Reflexes: Granted by Hermes (God of Messengers). Wonder Woman possesses reflex abilities similar to speedsters, such as Jesse Quick and Max Mercury, somewhere in the range of 15 to 20 times normal human reflexes with little concentration. She is able to keep up with Jesse Quick with ease, referencing her patron deity of speed and messenger of the gods, Hermes, as the source of her powers.
  
  
• Superhuman Agility: Wonder Womans's agility is far beyond that of even an Olympic level athlete. As is her balance and coordination.
  
  
• Superhuman Stamina: Wonder Woman can last a great deal of time in any fight and with virtually anyone. She has held her own in combat with Darkseid and even a Doomsday clone, who was just as powerful as the real one. She doesn't tire out like many of her male meta-human counterparts.
  
  
• Enhanced Healing Factor: Granted by Demeter (Goddess of Earth). Like the Earth, Diana is constantly renewing herself, allowing her to quickly heal at an amazing rate. Her normal regenerative abilities allow her to recover from injury within seconds to minutes. She possesses an incredible immunity from poisons, toxins, as well as disease. In rare cases where she was gravely injured or where another has managed to severely poison her, Diana showed the ability to physically merge with the Earth, causing whatever injuries or poisons to be expelled from her body as she regains shape.
  
  
• Oneness With Fire: Granted by Hestia (Goddess of the Hearth). Apparently making her a focus of truth.
  
  
• Empathy: Granted by Athena. (Goddess of Wisdom) "The Sight of Athena" apparently grants her increased insight. (For example, Diana can often detects others' emotions, and is now so fully immune to Doctor Psycho's illusions that she usually is not even aware of what illusions he is attempting to project. Apparently most forms of mind control will not work on her either). She can also detect other people's emotions. Even other high-level telepaths would be unable to read her mind or attack her in such a manner.
  
  
• Animal Rapport: Granted by Artemis (Goddess of the Hunt). Ability to communicate with all forms of animals (including dinosaurs) and her presence alone can bring a raging beast to a calm standstill.
  
  
• Enhanced Senses: Granted by Artemis (Goddess of the Hunt). Eyesight, hearing, taste, touch and smell.
  
  - "Hunters Eye": She also possess the "Hunters Eye" which allows her to always hit her mark. She can see to far greater distances than any normal human. Wonder Woman was briefly blinded, then had her sight restored by Athena. Since then, she has had the sight of Athena.
  
  
• Dimensional Teleportation: On occasion, Wonder Woman can literally leave the planet through mediation. She did this to rescue Artemis when she was in hell, and has even conversed with the Greek Gods on occasion.

Weakness:

• Build Disadvantage: Wonder Woman really doesn't have any true weaknesses or an attack that she is automatically vulnerable to, however it is interesting to note that her height and weight make her vulnerable to perhaps a few attacks that cannot be dodged or blocked and that potentially move her from location to location. But this is common among any "normal" sized super-being. So, being of similar size to her male counterparts, this is a weakness shared by her powerful comrades as well. Repulsion technology might be an efficient means of attacking and partially subduing her since she cannot block area effect attacks and her true height and weight are independent of her strength.
  
  
• Piercing Weapon Vulnerability: Diana is extremely durable and has a vast tolerance for pain. However, Wonder Woman is some-what vulnerable to piercing weapons. Some high powered rifle blasts or advanced machine-gun fire can cause her some pain, and minor injury (temporary bruising). Knives and swords of magical nature, as well as the attacker, will only cause minor pain and maybe, a minor, temporary cut.
  
  
• Energy Vulnerability: She is sometimes vulnerable to extremely high electrical and energy attacks when caught off guard. On rare occasions, she has been subdued by powerful attacks from opponents such as Ares and Marvel character Storm.
  
  
• Too Compassionate: Sometimes Diana exhibits too much restraint, arguably. Far weaker adversaries such as the Tasmanian Devil, the Cheetah and Poison Ivy, for example, have put up a fight or even grounded her temporarily, though she could easily stop or even kill anyone of them with just one hit. This has even put her life in danger on occasion. In her recent fight with a brain-washed Superman, he was trying to kill who he thought was Doomsday, and Wonder Woman still had some restraint during that violent encounter, as she refused to kill her friend and comrade, despite the destruction being caused.

Weapons or Gadgets:

• Indestructible Gauntlets: Modeled after the shackles the Amazons were once enslaved with. The gauntlets were formed from the remains of Zeus's legendary Aegis shield, and were re-forged for her use by Hephaestus. Diana's superhuman reflexes enable her to use the gauntlets to easily deflect projectiles (such as bullets) and powerful energy blasts from beings such as Ares and Darkseid. She is even fast enough to protect herself from multi-vector attacks. At close-range the gauntlets block blades, weapons and punches. In some stories, Diana has used the gauntlets as a dual defensive/offensive weapon, redirecting energy blasts back to their point of origin or other targets. They are even able to deflect Darkseid's energy attacks. When crossed, the gauntlets generate a remnant of the Aegis itself, forming an impenetrable barrier just in front of them which allows Diana to protect herself and those behind her from area attacks. With bracelets forged by Hephaestus, Wonder Woman boosts her resistance to injury with her indestructible bracelets. She is able to deflect attacks that might otherwise cause her considerable injury but she can only deflect attacks she is aware of.
  
  
• Boomerang Tiara: Diana's golden tiara also doubles as a throwing weapon, as it is razor-edged and can cut through most substances.
  
  
• Lasso of Truth: The Lasso of Truth is her famous trade mark device. Most who are captured in it, are forced to tell her any questions she asks and make it incapable for him or her to lie. It cannot be broken and she can also control it to a certain degree using telepathy. It can also be used to erase memories, heal the mentally ill (in some cases), and implant commands that must then be obeyed.
  
  
• Lansarian Morphing Disk: Wonder Woman has at her disposal a small lightweight disc of alien (Lansinar) technology that, when triggered by her thoughts, transforms into a transparent version of whatever object or vehicle is appropriate for her needs. The device has been used for several purposes, including a communication device, but is most frequently used by Wonder Woman in the form of an invisible jet plane, thus reintroducing this vehicle for the first time in post-Crisis continuity. She has also used the amorphous disc in partnership with Green Lantern's power ring, to hold Earth's moon together while shifting its orbit.

Miscellaneous Information:

• Master Combatant: Diana is the finest warrior ever born among the Amazons of Themyscira. She is a master of armed and unarmed combat, proficient with nearly every weapon ever made (especially the bow and the javelin) and the exotic martial arts styles of the Amazons. Batman once remarked that Wonder Woman is the best melee fighter in the world.
  
  
• Master Tactician and Strategist: Diana is also an accomplished strategist and tactician, trained in the arts of leadership, persuasion and diplomacy, and possesses a great deal of courage as well. She is a gifted leader.
  
  
• Multi-lingual: Diana has exhibited heightened proficiency with languages, being able to speak her native Themysciran, Ancient and Modern Greek, English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Mandarin Chinese (she expressed "difficulty" with the tones of Cantonese during an interview with Lois Lane), Russian and Hindi. Plus, through precise muscle control, she can mimic other peoples voices for short conversations (telephone). It is more difficult, (though it can be done), for her to mimic a mans voice than another woman's voice.
  
  
• Wisdom: Granted by Athena (Goddess of Wisdom). Diana possesses great wisdom and intelligence, though the degree varies from author to author. She is among the smartest and wisest members of the Justice League of America, along with the Martian Manhunter and Batman.
  
  
• Aviation: Expert pilot. Seen flying the Invisible Jet with ease.
  
  
• Expert Lasso Wielder: Can use the Lasso of Truth as an offensive and defensive weapon.

History:
Diana was the daughter of Queen Hippolyta, the first child born on Paradise Island in the three thousand year history that the immortal Amazons lived there. The Amazons had been created around 1200 B.C. when the Greek goddesses drew forth the souls of all women who had been murdered by men. One soul was left behind, the one that would be born as Diana. That soul originally belonged to the unborn daughter of the first woman murdered by a man (whom Hippolyta was the reincarnation of). In the late 20th Century, Hippolyta was instructed to mold some clay from the shores of Paradise Island into the form of a baby girl. Six members of the Greek Pantheon then bonded the soul to the clay, giving it life. Each of the six also granted Diana a gift: Demeter, great strength; Athena, wisdom and courage; Artemis, a hunter's heart and a communion with animals; Aphrodite, beauty and a loving heart; Hestia, sisterhood with fire; Hermes, speed and the power of flight. Diana grew up surrounded by a legion of sisters and mothers. When she was a young woman, the gods decreed that the Amazons must send an emissary into Man's World. Queen Hippolyta ordered a contest to be held, but forbade Diana from participating. Diana disobeyed and did so anyway in disguise, easily winning the contest and being named the Amazon's champion. She was given a uniform fashioned from the standard of someone who had visited the island a few decades earlier.

Now armed with her gifts and only a few years worth of world experience, Diana Prince seeks to become as formidable and influential a hero as Superman and Batman. Believing that the superhero world, like the rest of it, has been dominated by men for far too long, Diana - as Wonder Woman - now looks to contribute greatly to the Justice League and pro-women rights movement.

Sample RP:

It was a man's world they said. Ever since it had been crafted from the Heavens, Earth granted supremacy to the male of the species, leaving female to cook, clean, and nurture the children. Nothing was thought wrong of this, not many attempted to do anything, they just laid down and accepted it without so much as a fight. Unfortunately they never counted on man screwing things up, so much so they came to depend on the very gender they had oppressed millenniums before.

"How fitting," she said. "For one so confident to seek aid from that which they had confidence over." Amusing though it was, it remained a sad reminder of the fate of the world. Despite coming a long way, sexism - among other forms of discrimination - still existed in this world. All of them problematic and springing up, similar to the mighty Hydra, a beast she knew well. "First thing's first, we make a name for ourselves. No more boys only, the superhero gig just got a new player."
