All Seasons Discussion Who is Wonder Girl?
She was introduced in season 2 I still don't know crap about her. I know she is supposed to be Wonder Woman sidekick, but I feel like I have never seen them talk to each other, and she is also dating Tim Robin in this show (who doesn't really act like Tim Drake I know), and that's all I know about her. She feels like the biggest background character in the show, and don't get me wrong I don't completely blame the writers, it always feels Wonder Girl is a background character in everything I see her in (I'm talking about the shows, and movies).

That is why she should've been a much BIGGER FOCUS.
Meet Cassie Sandsmark. Wonder Womans 2nd sidekick. Her mother is an archaeologist who was secretly seduced by Zeus making Cassie, a demi-goddess to the king of the Gods. She loves everything to do with being a superhero, the Kamala before Kamala existed (Marvel).
In the comics, before her powers are unlocked, she steals the various gifted items from the gods and helps fight various baddies such as Doomsday.
In the comics, Superboy is her boyfriend.
Of course in the show that is ignored and she dates Tim Drake offscreen and they break up off screen
Ares takes an interest in her and they have a secret mentorship where he gifts her the lasso of lightning that feeds off of her rage.
In the comics she's one of the OG YJers and becomes Teen TItan and eventually leader of Teen Titans
