Description
WonderGirls of Hitoshirenu
In my expansion of the Wondergirls, with the Planetary Amazonian Wonder Guard, started in their World Tour Arc, the girls seek out descendants of former Amazonians that left the Sacred Isle of Onogorshima to raise their male offspring. Two of descendants are found in the Hidden Regions of Japan known as Hitoshirenu, home of The Batclan. One of the descendants was raised in the Shinobi Order and the other was conscripted into the Emperor's Samurai Army. Yukia and Kaia were friends as orphaned children, but were separated to go into their respective disciplines. Even though they were on opposite sides of the Shino-Samurai Conflict, as Wondergirls, they remain in Hitoshirenu to try to bridge the gap and help end the animosity between the two factions.
Kaia: The Blade Dancer; Onna Musha (female samurai -direct translation; woman warrior)
Kaia Muhō; Wondergirl of Bushido
Weapon: Katana
- I based Kaia's design on the samurai outfit worn by Lucy Lawless in Xena: Warrior Princess.
- honor and pride are her strongest virtues...and her greatest weakness at the same time.
- When I expanded the wondergirls and created a ninja and a samurai , it felt the most appropriate to interject them in this particular locale for the simplicity of the natural conflict that already exists between the two factions.
- I wanted Kaia and Yukia to have a Fox and the Hound kind of experience, where their childhood friendship would have to endure and overcome the restrictions of their upbringing and alleged destinies.
- Following Wonder Woman tradition, Kaia is an ambassador for the Emperor's Samurai army to the heads of the Shinobi Order, but she is not beholden to him. She also represents the Amazon nation and its interests of global peace.
Yukia: The Shadow Walker; Kunoichi (female shinobi)
Yukimishi Sanada; Wondergirl of Nindo
Weapon: Twin Sai
- I based Yukia's design on a homemade cosplay image of a ninja Wonder Woman I found.
- Based her name on the legendary japanese warrior, Yukimura Sanada.
- Yukimishi had a rough upringing in The Order, and as a result, she keeps most people at a distance. She is eerily calm, it seems at all times, which has a tendency to unnerve most people. She comes off as cold and detached, but in fact quickly forms deep bonds to people, but hides it really well...these too are her strengths and weaknesses.
- Yukimishi uses her ancestor's name, Yukia to honor her as her Wondergirl Codename.
- The Amazon, Yukia mated with the samurai of legend, Yukimura Sanada. She sought him out after giving birth to their son and leaving Onogorshima. She reunited with him on one of his campaigns. Their son was raised amongst his shinobi soldiers, the Ten Braves. He was taught ninjutsu by legendary shinobi, Sasuke Sarutobi.
- The two feudal Wondergirls have a fundamentally contentious relationship, but enjoy each other's presence and have grown to trust one another unconditionally. They are truly formidable as a team.
- Following Wonder Woman tradition, Yukia is an ambassador for the heads of the Shinobi Order to the Emperor's Samurai army, but she is not beholden to them. She also represents the Amazon nation and its interests of global peace.
