Wonder Woman, called Wondy by her friends, is daughter of Queen Hippolyta and Zeus. Diana was born on Paradise Island, an ideal island home for female warriors.
History
Wonder Woman was a natural leader and from an early age made it her mission to make the world a better place. She decided to come to Metropolis for training at Super Hero High.
Despite being one of the most powerful heroes in the world, Diana is more than a bit self-conscious. She doesn't enjoy when her mother parades her trophies in front of her friends, loath to be seen as an overachiever, and feels a bit out of place in the Man's World.[2] Nonetheless, she doesn't get along with the divine side of her heritage at all.[3]
Once Supergirl gets enrolled in the school and Barbara Gordon takes up the Batgirl identity, Diana develops a close bond with them. At one occasion, where the trio of heroines had to put Ares down, Diana mentioned she never knew what having a sister was like, and Barbara replied now she knows.[4]
