* AllLovingHero: Diana's status as this gets a very thorough examination throughout the series, especially in conjunction with her status as a brutal warrior. She unconditionally cherishes all of humanity, and it's her willingness to protect them that's why she fights, even if that means pitting herself against those who threaten them. Even when it's revealed that [[spoiler:the apocalypse was caused in part by her devastating retaliation against Superman, with the revelation causing major distrust in who she really is]], [[WideEyedIdealist she continues to believe in what remains of humanity]], knowing full well that love and hope is necessary for [[HumansAreSurvivors if the world will continue to survive]].
