Vanessa Kapatelis's graduation speech, from WONDER WOMAN #600 (2010)!

Wait okay New Earth Diana was taught English by Julia who was born in Greece and lives in Boston. So what I suggest is that Diana has a very thick Themysciran/Greek accent but every so often she pronounces a word like a New Englander and it throws everyone for a loop

DC’s Amazons Week -  Day 2: Culture Shock

Decided to post even more Vanessa art, this one showing her hanging out with Rose Wilson. It seems Rose wants to help Vanessa 'toughen up' a bit, perhaps her mother Lillian Worth can help. Their older selves clothing are based on stuff I've seen in thrift stores, don't they look fashionable?

Here's an older Vanessa wearing the Silver Swan outfit belonging to her predecessor Valerie Beaudry, it's a very beautiful outfit I must admit. Speaking of Valerie...

Here's Vanessa meeting Valerie and her gal pal Maxine Sterenbuch, along with a doodle of Vanessa and friends meeting her names sake the Loch Ness monster! Looks like a fun adventure they had. There's also a doodle of Vanessa's poor friend Lucy Spears. I felt so bad for her, I appreciate the comics tackling such a heavy topic.

Further context on Vanessa meeting Valerie, in my au after Vanessa is transformed into the Silver Swan, I imagine her breaking out and going into hiding. Shortly after Jason and friends manage to find her and convince her somehow to join the team, tho she's very standoffish at first. Jason finds her (along with a couple of other kids) a safe house to stay in, but later on she meets Valerie.

Valerie offers to let her stay with her and Maxine, Valerie knows better than anyone what Vanessa is going through and wants to help. Vanessa slowly with her learns to manage her powers better and eventually learns to control it. Being in a safe place and having friends helps stabilize her emotions better, thereby stabilizing her powers as well.

Should be noted that Diana and Julia Kapatelis are trying to find her and bring her home. I imagine word eventually gets through to them where Vanessa is, I'm not sure if Valerie/Maxine know where Vanessa comes from so they can't tell her family. I'm not sure about Jason actually, perhaps Vanessa tells him not to 'snitch", so he's probably in a bit of a moral dilemma I guess.

Vanessa didn't just meet Valerie, she also gets a chance to meet the first Silver Swan, Helen Alexandros! The story here is kinda vague but I wanted Vanessa to meet Helen, then forced to fight her. But because Vanessa shows her compassion, Helen is moved by this and somehow 'gifts' her divine power (that she got from Ares) and this transforms Vanessa into a sorta 'super form'.

Kinda resembles Sailor Moon a bit huh? Who is surprised, I showed this form in an earlier drawing I think. Anyways, this form only lasts for a short time, but its very powerful. Vanessa showing empathy to her enemy is ofc inspired by her hero Wonder Woman , I guess after being helped by her friends she ends up helping another victim like herself. So I guess she ends up getting a narrative arc of sorts in this au.

But I did think up an alternative way for her to get that 'super form" tho:

This is more obviously inspired by the swan lake story, but more specifically the 1994 movie The Swan Princess (Vanessa's hair is slightly modeled after Odette's). The story's even more vague here, so I guess I imagined a lake spirit taking the form of a swan, Vanessa helps it and it 'gifts' her extra power. It only lasts a short time as well. Which story do you think sounds better?

Well, that was a lot, so I hoped you liked all that!

Old age wasn’t something that Diana had much experience with. The Amazons of Themyscira were immortal and ageless – her mother and sisters looked the same now as she had always remembered them. She’d been the only aging thing on Paradise Island her whole childhood and had never seen its effects on anyone but herself. Diana didn’t know whether she would age now that she’s out in the wider world. That would be something she’d have to figure out over time. She didn’t dread the thought of it, though – Julia made it look so graceful and natural.

Or: Diana ponders aging and immortality.

Diana of Themyscira & Vanessa Kapatelis

(or Wonder Woman and her little sister)

[confusedhummingbird]

The Nessie as Silver Swan is such an interesting story I wish they could have done more with character wise. They did a bit but it could have been so interesting.

Diana being conflicted emotionally between her love of Nessie and her love of Cassie.

Cassie feeling betrayed that Diana would be so willing to help and forgive the person that blew up her school. Exposed her identity. Killed her friend. Destroyed her home. And attacked her Mom's work.

Even Helena maybe being caught between wanting to be supportive to her old mentor Julia but still wanting to hurt Nessie for hurting her daughter.

It's two families who are very important to Diana and partly to each other with Julia and Helena but on opposite sides of the conflict.

Vanessa Kapatelis Reading Guide?

Hey. I'm absolutely new to the Wonder Woman mythos. But I'd like to learn more about her supporting cast of characters.

I've been reading on Yara Flor cause she seemed the coolest and most accessible since she's fairly new to the game. But I saw a much more WW literate friend posting on tumblr about Vanessa Kapatelis and he connection to Diana and she made her sound really cool.

But the thing is that she seems to have been here since like the 80s afaict... and I don't really know where to go from there.

So I thought I'd ask here where to begin with her character and if there's a certain run or solo comic that is central to her!
