After leaving Themyscira to co-found the Amazons of Bana-Mighdall and leaving them too to bring Maat's message of justice and self-determination to those in need across the outside world, Atalanta arrived in Central America and started her secular battle against Tezcatlipoca's armies, and there she discovered that the concept of an Amazon was not new. The people spoke of advanced warrior women, sweeping up from the south in times of need with might and science: a third tribe of Amazons. These South American Amazons built outposts hidden from the outside world, and one of them, Esperança Perigosa (Portuguese for Dangerous Hope), a small oceanside city in Brazil, was taken over by the Dark Fates from the Dark Multiverse, who destroyed the protective barrier and exposed the outpost and its all-female inhabitants to the sudden knowledge of the world.
Then Atalanta and Queen Faruka II of Bana-Mighdall sought the help of Wonder Woman, who, with her Lasso of Truth, was the only one capable of undoing the spell of untruth woven by the Dark Fates. This tribe of Amazons worship goddesses known to Themyscirans and Banas, like Athena and Neith, but they also adopted South American goddesses in their religion, such as Ka-Ata-Killa, the Inca goddess of the Moon. Yara Flor, the new Wonder Girl, although she lived in the USA since she was very young, is one of them.
The tribe lives in the city of Akahim, in the Brazilian Rain Forest, and they are known by many names, such as Coniupuiaras, Iamaricumã and Gaboymilas, but at the moment they prefer to be called the Esquecidas (Portuguese for Forgotten Ones), as they chose to hide the truth of their power from the outside world and remain forgotten and just fight their battles there at home. However, the reappearance of Yara Flor, one of them born to Aella, an Amazon from Themyscira, led to a change and they were determined to go to Themyscira once Yara returned to them.
When the Amazons created by the Gods of Olympus split into two tribes, the Themyscirans and the Bana-Mighdall, Aella remained divorced, by choice, from both factions, instead, seeking to venture into the entirety of Man's World. Her wanderings took her to South America, where she found not only what she sought, but also the love of a god she had never heard of or encountered, settling in the land to remain by his side. Soon a child would come, Yara Flor, but fate destroyed and separated the lovers forever, and Aella was a stranger in a strange land with nowhere to return, until a new tribe appeared to her in the rainforest of Brazil. A tribe so fierce and admired as to rival all others, these warrior women took Aella and the child in as their own. They protected and raised the child, for in her veins ran the same blood. But the devastation of an attack by the jealous Gods of Olympus ripped through the isolated tribe, lessening their numbers and leaving the survivors to infighting and modernity. Yet the core remained strong and would not be broken, they would dedicate themselves to be united once more, to protect that land and its people.
The stories of their beginnings differ, but some say that it came as a whisper carried on the wind by Gaia to the moon goddess Yacy. Inspired then, and drawing upon The Well, she created these divine women of the sacred waters. Wearing necklaces of jade amulets, they maintain their matriarchal society through sacred ritual. They would dedicate their lives to protecting the land and preserving the balance of Nature, in time becoming soldiers of legend and inspiring countless around the world with their example.
