Writing[]
Ostertag wanted to potray Diana as "an immigrant girl who learns to live in another culture without disowning her own", feeling her backstory as the princess of an isolated island was the perfect set-up for such a story; he studied the behavior of immigrant children as research for the show. He and Campbell also drew inspiration from the series The Amazing Digital Circus and Hilda in writing Diana as somebody who just moved to a new home. Additionally, Campbell wanted to put a strong emphasis on the community around her, inspired by the series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, as she felt it would be appropiate for Wonder Woman to try to familiarize herself with her new community and that "her developing a love for her new home" would tie with the character's themes perfectly. This also motivated them to write the series' villain, Eris, as someone with "a more toxic and cultish relationship with her underlings" as a contrast. She-Ra and the Princesses of Power and The Owl House were also influences on the series.
Campbell and Ostertag wrote Diana as someone with a wish to help people as her main drive in order to give the character a motivation, give her a reason to stay, and allow the series to incorporate superhero elements more naturally. Regarding the series' tone, Ostertag wanted the series to be similar to My Adventures with Superman in its lighthearted depiction of the characters. They also sought to combine street-level threats with Wonder Woman's connections with Greek mythology, similar to the George Perez run of the character, which they cited as an inspiration for the series' plot. Other inspirations for the series are Greg Rucka's "Year One" story arc, Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed, The Adventures of Young Diana, and The Legend of Wonder Woman, with the former two inspiring the series' exploration of outcasts.
The showrunners wanted the show to be "Diana's coming-of-age story" where she "finds herself in an environment where she's not a princess, and we see how it helps her grow", describing the show as "a story where Diana becomes her own person. And, in doing so, she becomes a hero"; the showrunners studied how learning from other cultures help with identity forming to explore both ideas in a natural way. Mostertag said that "season 1 is about Diana learning about what kind of person she is, while season 2 is about her sense of identity being challenged and season 3 is about her using what she learned to help others". Ostertag said the series is "about someone who dosen't fit in because of the pressure put upon her and seeks to understand herself and learns to be more than what people want her to be". He also said that "Diana dosen't feel like a freak or ashamed of her teen characteristics, but she does feel lonely because she's the only one who has them and seeks to understand them. And, when she finally meets other teens, she does".
