Hola, little sister!
Nov. 2nd, 2019 07:02 pmRassin' frassin' freakin' Amazons.
For years, the Amazons in my head have called each other variations on "sister" because, well, because of the way Artemis called Diana "little sister" in Artemis: Requiem. Well, yeah, they are a sisterhood, right?
More recently, & actually before I got so mentally drawn into this "Wild West Wonder Woman" idea, I've been playing with how that varies to variations on "daughter" when Amazons have daughters who are also Amazons, or talking to younger Amazons who they may have substantially raised; and complementarily, variations on "mother."
But here's the thing. I may not have realized when I first read Requiem that Diana & Artie are actually, legally, sisters. Artemis was adopted by Hippolyta, at least according to Loebs, who wrote the first Artemis arc as well as Requiem. That's a big part of how the two Wonder Women's relationship is defined: two sisters who sort of resent & hate each other.
So am I stretching the meaning of the word too far? I'm going to have to dig out & reread some old comics, & I'm somehow a little annoyed by this.
