Only in the comics as far as I know. I think thete may have been a character based off her in the old WW TV series though. This version is mostly original as far as her backstory

Diana is the only biological daughter of Hippolyta.

Donna was the daughter of an Amazon who married Prince Hector of Troy so Hippolyta took Donna in as a sign of respect to her parents, granting her the honor of remaining a princess as was her birthright.

Nubia and Andraste were leaders of smaller Amazonian tribes, essentially cheiftesses, when they were assimilated into Themysciran culture. As an honor, they were granted adopted by Hippolyta.

The adoption of Donna, due to her age, was essentially authentic. The adoption of Nubia and Andraste was originally only ceremonial but over time it developed into a more familial one, due in great part to taking on sisterly roles with Diana and Donna and then coming to think of Hippolyta as a mother by extension of their sisterly relationship with the others.

You might not realize this, but there is a phenomena in gender-isolated environments, especially among females, where residents take on familial roles to create new family models. Often women in prison will actually create "family trees" where a couple may make themselves "father and mother" over others, looking over them and helping them as needed. This can be extended further if those "parents" have their "prisoner-parents" or the "children" take on parental responsibilities over a new arrival. The ages of the participants in these makeshift families are usually not important to their roles, instead being based more on maturity, time in the facility, and/or reputation.

I based this Amazonian tradition on this phenomena, but removed the 'male' identifying roles like father, son, etc as the Amazons would likely shun such titles. The reason for this was to make them feel like their own society, isolated from our world for thousands of years. Outside of the royal family, I see this practice also going on as Amazons would take under their wings or under their roof, especially in the early days of building Themyscira.

I hope that helps you understand the nature of this decision and the dynamics of the Amazon culture in Earth-27.

It does help a lot and it's very cool idea. Thank you.

Also, um, why is Diana in her 'Origins of the Trinity' outfit but Donna is in her Darkstar outfit?

I think Donna wouldn't have an outfit for Themyscria as it would probably remind her of her time as Wonder Girl...a time she wasn't too fond of.

Since Diana doesn't really age, her origins costume doubles as her traditional Themysciran battle armor costume... so anytime she's back in Themyscira, she'll be dressed like this... usually.

Also, she's allowed to mix things up and dress how she likes. Also, fans seem to really like the Origins picture, so I'll probably be using it quite a bit for a while.

I'm assuming one of the locations is/was in Hurricane Matthew's path, and the one for Nubia would be off the northwest coast of Africa by Morocco and Mauritania. Would've defaulted to around South Africa but, that would've been too far.
