Characterization
While many writers have depicted Diana in different personalities, what has remained constant is her ability to feel compassion and give love without discrimination. This trait had been the reason for her induction into the Star Sapphires. The modern version of the character has been shown to perform lethal and fatal actions when left with no other alternative. A primary example of this is when she snapped Maxwell Lord's neck, building the events that led to Infinite Crisis. The reason for this was that he was mind-controlling Superman into killing Batman and when Diana caught him in her lasso, he revealed that the only way to stop him was to kill him.
Wonder Woman's personality and tone has wavered between that of a typical warrior, a highly compassionate and calm Ambassador, and sometimes also as a naive and innocent person. Writer Gail Simone was applauded for her portrayal of Wonder Woman during her run on the series, with comics reviewer Dan Phillips of IGN noting that "she's molded Diana into a very relatable and sympathetic character."
The New 52 version of the character has been portrayed to be a more young, headstrong, loving, fierce and willful person. Brian Azzarello stated in a video interview with DC Comics that they're building a very "confident", "impulsive" and "good-hearted" character in her and that her strength and weakness both is her compassion for others.
