Niké, the Fury

[1]

Themyscira is a tiny slice of paradise. Really tiny. You could ride across it in a day. Most Amazons are content with their home, the rest have no choice but to learn.

Niké was in the latter group. She'd long given up girlish dreams of seeing the world beyond Themyscira when a magical storm ravaged the island. Washed out to sea she awoke in the strange land of California. Ever since she's been looking for a way home.

But...

But if she were really being honest (and she sometimes is when she's had too much whisky) she's not sure she wants to go back. In a few short years travelling America she's seen more than she dreamed possible. It hasn't all been pretty of course but it's all been new! Man's world has something Themyscira could never offer, the thrill of exploration. In her travel's she's gained something of a reputation for herself as a wandering bounty hunter. Some people call her a hero, other less charitable folks call her the Fury.

Complications

Wanderlust: Though she tries to hide it Niké possesses an insatiable curiosity about the outside world. Unless on urgent business she frequently gets sidetracked in experiencing the sights and sounds of this strange new world.

Man's world: The wild west is pretty backward in it's treatment of women by Amazonian standard, Niké frequently has to correct men's assumptions about her, sometimes with a harsh word, sometimes violently.

Code of Honour: Amazon warriors obey a strict code of honour, it boils down to 4 major tenets: Honour the gods in all things, never turn your back on a sworn battle sister, never break an oath under pain of death & never stand idle when the helpless (especially women) are hurt.

Amazonina heritage: The inhabitants of Themyscira are blessed by powerful magic, that tends to draw the attention of occult practitioners who are jealous of their abilities and of occult entities who hold grudges.
