Backstory: Holliday college student with a passion for basketball who wanted to win more than anything. Wanta was desperate to perform and play, having built her entire life around the sport.

However after being booted from the team for a lack of performance, Wanta Wynn would decide to commit suicide, leading to the athlete being rescued and offered the opportunity to train with the Amazons and master their incredible strength.

Wanta would accept and train tirelessly until she had obtained that incredible strength, but would be required to wear the bracelets of submission which allow all Amazons to control their darker impulses and would otherwise lead to them being corrupted by the very power they wielded.

Wanta would return to rejoin the team, but due to sport regulations she would remove the bracelets to participate, becoming obsessed with money, power, and fame.

Thus while pretending to be perfectly in control of herself, Wanta would soon become famed as one of the greatest athletes in the country, engaging in not just Basketball but any sport her newfound abilities could aid her in.

But unbeknownst to all, Wanta Wynn was also a daring criminal of the night who used her incredible strength and power to rob and murder. All for the sake of sating her basest impulses due to a lack of self control.
