CHARACTER
Character Name: Diana Prince
Character Age: 5,000
Canon: DCEU
Canon Point: Post-Wonder Woman
History: http://dcextendeduniverse.wikia.com/wiki/Wonder_Woman#Biography
Personality:
Diana is an ageless, immortal Amazon princess that has grown into herself since she left Themyscira to fight in WWI, and having spent the last century or so in the world of man. Before WWI disabused her of just about all her preconceived notions about the war, the world of man, the power of good and evil, Diana was a very optimistic, enthuasiastic young woman driven by kindness, compassion, and a powerful sense of duty to protect the world and the people in it. She had a great love for humanity, and being quite the egalitarian, had not understood why her mother did not care for humanity. She had lofty ideals, and believed deeply in spreading love and mutual understanding, the Amazons being a bridge of greater understanding for mankind.
Steve Trevor (the spy who landed on Themyscira's shores) only had to talk about how how twenty five million people (women and children included) have been killed up to that point in WWI, and Diana would have her mind set on leaving Themyscira, to join in the fight to vanquish Ares and war and bring peace back to the world. For obvious mentioned reasons, Diana was naive, idealistic, strong-willed and stubborn, holding plenty of romanticised notions of good and evil and no concept of the brutalities of war. It also doesn't help that she was born in Themyscira, and therefore had not witnessed the just what goes down in war, the atrocities and and horrors committed.
Stepping into the world of man and into the heart of war completely shattered those rose-tinted glasses and broke just about every preconceived notion she's ever had.
Diana shed her naive idealism the hard way, learning that death, pain and suffering were part and parcel of war and mankind. She learned, too, that war did not hinge on one god but on humanity itself and the darkness within it.
When Diana first arrived in the world of men, she was a fish out of water, blunt and tactless, boldly judgemental (as can be seen when she told off the entire British High Command, mentioned that Etta's job was equated to slavery, and condemned Charlie's sniper skills as one that is without honor). Nonetheless, she was helpful, kind, eager to aid -- to fight Ares and go to war for the sake of humankind and to liberate them from the influence of the god of war. It can also be seen how despite her idealism, she was open to understanding others, speaking with Sameer and Chief and learning the ways of humanity from them. Innocent, cheerful and honorable, she was also quick to value people as themselves and not what they could do. When Charlie mentioned that the team was better off without him since he couldn't snipe effectively, Diana had comforted and encouraged him, lifting his spirits and urging him to sing; his talents did not just lie in his sniper's abilities.
Diana grows and evolves throughout the course of her origin movie; her faith in humanity had broken, she endured incredible heartbreak and trauma -- first with Dr. Poison's annihilation of the village she had fought so hard to save, and second when Steve had sacrificed himself for untold millions who would have died otherwise. She had seen the ugliest, most cruel side of humanity and learned that they did not need Ares to do all of that to themselves, but her faith in love and compassion was not entirely gone: Steve had shown her that there was still good in the world, and it was this knowledge and faith that enabled her to defeat Ares.
However, not all's well that ends well. Things got worse in the century that followed, chock-full of the horrors of war. Diana discovered that Ares' machination of the Armistice would lead to WW2, and from there a whole host of wars and skirmishes and escalating cruelties like nothing the world had ever seen before. Her discovery of the ugliness of humanity ensured that she would never be the same again -- she would never be the naive, idealistic, trusting young woman who had stepped off the shores of Themyscira to walk amongst man, the fight alongside them. Because of these horrors, she withdrew and gave up on humanity, grieving for Steve and relinquishing superheroics.
But the person Diana essentially was did not diminish during her crisis of faith. While she had lost her innocence and had eventually become jaded and cynical (which is a reasonable road to take for someone who's witnessed all the shit that went down in the past 100 years), she had never lost her benevolence, honor, sense of justice and kindness. When Doomsday was unleashed on the world, Diana leaped right back into the fray, fighting Doomsday, saving Batman, and witnessing Superman's death, an act of self-sacrifice that renewed her faith in humanity, as well as the need for superheroes.
Diana's personality, while having matured in the years that she had been on earth, still retained some of its earlier iterations. She was still essentially a loving person, and had now grown to be more considerate of people. She has also become more diplomatic in her speech instead of tactlessness. She still retained her sense of empathy and compassion, which could be seen in her expression when Lois Lane grieved for Superman.
However, Diana might be good and kind and all -- but one must not forget that she is also a warrior, and her temper, while slow-building, still exists. Her patience can also run out quite quickly. She is a relentless, ruthlessly efficient warrior in battle, moreso if the people she cares about are hurt. Diana absolutely loves a good fight, but is self-aware enough to hold herself back from becoming someone like Ares.
She is also not immune to incredible rage and the violence that stems from it, although she has a much better handle on it now, thanks to years of experience. Despite her disillusionment with humanity, Diana exhibits a profound understanding of the complexities of such a world ("What one does when faced with the truth is more difficult than you would think."). She no longer thinks in moral absolutes -- there is no real black and white, and all there is are so many, many shades of grey. But she too believes in rising up again to protect this imperfect world.
Her century in the the world has continued to sharpen her, and she has continued to grow and evolve. She is confident and self-assured, and has become wiser, more experienced, and exceptionally adept at blending into high society. Her naivete had become polished elegance, and she has become more emotionally intelligent; she is also more respectful of others, and has no problems working as a team despite all her years working solo. However, she hasn't actually really shed her instinct for recklessly charging right at her foes at the first chance she gets (see: her battle with Doomsday, as well as her stint at No Man's Land). But the truth remains that she is still essentially a protector, a warrior who cannot stand by and do nothing when faced with evil. She is still good at heart, gracefully accepting all the lessons she had learned painfully through the years.
Inventory: Sword of Athena, her outfit, the watch from Steve Trevor, that's about it.
Abilities: Diana's an omniglot, she's able to speak just about every language that ever exists, even dead ones. As the last child born of Zeus, and conceived by Hippolyta, an Amazon, Diana is an immortal demigoddess created explicitly to kill gods. As a result, she possesses superspeed and superstrength, an immense durability and greatly enhanced reflexes and healing abilities.
While Diana can bleed, she's extremely hardy and can take an immense beating without breaking a sweat. She's also exceptionally agile and has incredible stamina, together with the ability to take massive leaps without a problem. She's a master swordsman, combatant, and lassoer -- it is confirmed by Geoff Johns @ DC that Wonder Woman is just about the best fighter in the DC universe. She can also generate immense shockwaves and energy from her bracelets, and thanks to her birthright as Zeus' daughter, also has some measure of control over lightning / electricity. She's also an expert rider, archer, with a genius-level intellect thanks to her incredibly long lifespan.
Flaws: Diana enjoys a good fight on a very personal level. A lot. This can be seen when she fights Doomsday, she takes a beating but she smiles and gets right back into it -- she's aware of her own proclivity for great violence and enjoyment of fighting, which is why she doesn't do it very often. Even so, her bloodthirst is something to be wary of.
