But I Barely Grasp Donna's Origin Story - Tumblr Posts
I'll assume you're talking about Artemis from RHatO.
Artemis is an Amazon from a break-off group of the Amazons of Themyscira/Paradise Island. They split from Themyscira thousands of years before Diana's birth and were led by the Amazon Antiope, and after her death the group relocated to Egypt to found the city Bana-Mighdall. They tend to be more violent and vengeful than the "traditional" Amazons and managed to evade detection from the mainland Amazons for quite a while. It seems that since they left Paradise Island, they gave up their immortality.
Donna Troy is very, very tricky, but from what I gather she's had three main origin stories that take different forms:
a) She is the magically birthed twin of Diana to be her playmate. IIRC this was her Silver Age origin.
b) She was a living weapon of some sort given powers by the Titans of Myth, and
c) She is a mortal who was empowered by the gods.
Her origin story got so complicated and contradictory that someone at DC just decided, fuck it, what's Donna Troy's origin story? Yes. All her origin stories are canon, and her memories were manipulated to make her believe she lived a normal life with a normal family.
These days Donna is treated as a true Amazon separate from but very close to Diana, and a demigod in her own right. She also has a magical lasso of her own, the Lasso of Persuasion. This blue lasso has the power to make anyone caught in it to be compliant with the user's demands. Donna can effectively make people do what she wants, but their will has to be weaker than her own.
Recently, she used the Lasso to join the amnesiac form of Beast Boy with a preserved starfish arm that he lost, transferring his memories to his actual body because starfish can regenerate neurons or some shit. I don't know. Comic book magic.
As far as I know, Donna's lasso does not project lightning.
ok, i think i understand a bit better. wonder woman’s thing is only using the necessary amount of force.
“Don’t kill if you can wound, don’t wound if you can subdue, don’t subdue if you can pacify, and don’t raise your hand at all until you’ve first extended it.”
that’s her thing and her backstory is.. daughter of zeus and she is either sculpted from clay or she is actually his kid. i get cassie sandsmark and her origin, i’m a huge fan of young justice 1998.
can someone explain donna troy and artemis to me? i know what they’re in and i have a vague idea of the relationships they have with their teams but i don’t really know them.
