Background / History
Diana is an Amazon princess and the daughter of Zeus. She left Themyscira during World War I and remained in the human world for nearly a century, initially fascinated by humanity before becoming deeply disillusioned with it. 16
She raised Xi Nian as family, though he calls her “Aunt.” Her decision to adopt a human child changed her outlook on humanity and became a point of resentment for Barbara Minerva. 4 16
Diana eventually returned to Themyscira with Xi Nian. Despite Amazon hostility toward a human male outsider, she placed her royal coronet on him, granting him her honor, possessions, and the status of her sovereign. 39 40 She later confessed her love for Xi Nian to Queen Hippolyta and stood by her decision despite Antiope’s objections. 42

Diana is a tall, graceful woman with a noble bearing and a battle-hardened yet calming presence. Her youthful appearance remains unchanged despite the passage of years. 246 462

Personality
Diana is decisive, independent, and deeply protective of those she loves. She trusts Xi Nian with her history, her possessions, and her status among the Amazons, even when doing so puts her at odds with Amazon tradition. 16 40 42
Her affection is often direct and playful, such as introducing Xi Nian as her “little boyfriend” during their journey to Themyscira. 38 At the same time, she is capable of mercy and restraint, supporting Xi Nian’s efforts to protect others rather than merely destroy threats. 221
