Origin[]
Donna Troy as Wonder Girl
When Princess Diana (Wonder Woman) was a young girl on the island of Themiscyra she was lonely being the only child living among the Amazons. An Amazon sorceress used a magic mirror to bring Diana’s reflection to life and created a twin sister for her. The spell also infused the mirror twin with a piece of Diana’s soul. Unfortunately Diana’s mother Hippolyta had an enemy known as the Dark Angel who intended to kill Diana. She mistook the mirror twin for Diana and destroyed her.
The mirror twin, being born of magic, was reincarnated as a human infant named Donna Troy. When Donna’s house burned down and killed her family, the Titans of Greek myth sensed the divine power inside of Donna and rescued her. She was raised on the city of New Cronus and the Titans gave her powers that matched those of her sister Diana. When Donna saw Wonder Woman, she felt a connection and left New Cronus to become her sidekick Wonder Girl. Wonder Girl even formed a team of sidekicks with Robin and Kid Flash known as the Teen Titans.
Donna Troy as Darkstar
The Titans of Greek mythology boosted Wonder Girl’s power to god-like levels and she became Troia. However she rejected the powers when she learned that she would give birth to a supervillain who would have her powers in the future. Donna would later join the Darkstars, a team of cosmic superheroes created to be a counterpart to the Green Lantern Corps, and gain a new set of powers.
Dark Angel returned to destroy Donna Troy and erased her from existence, with Kid Flash (now the Flash), Hippolyta, and Wonder Woman (who had evolved into the Goddess of Truth) being the only three people remembered Donna existed. Wonder Woman used her lasso and her goddess powers to tap into Flash’s memories and restore Donna to reality. Donna was restored with the knowledge that she began her life as Wonder Woman’s mirror twin and now had all of Wonder Woman’s powers. She became Troia again and was adopted by Hippolyta, officially becoming Wonder Woman’s sister and a member of the Amazons.
Powers[]
Troia has the same powers of superhuman strength, speed, flight, and enhanced durability as her sister Wonder Woman. She was also given the same bracelets that Wonder Woman wore and her own enchanted lasso.
