Her relationship with Wonder Woman is roughly analogous to that of Batman and Robin, or Aquaman and Aqualad. The hero/protege relationship is a common theme in comic book lore.
The character of Wonder Girl was otiginally introduced in the Wonder Woman comic as a teen-aged version of Wonder Woman, that is, a teen-aged Princess Diana of the Amazons. (A third incarnation, Wonder Tot, Wonder Woman as an infant, had also been featured.)
As a character in her own right, she made her first appearance in The Brave and the Bold #54 ( July 1964), and was portrayed as a member of a junior Justice League consisting of Robin, Kid Flash and Aqualad, joining together as had their mentors (respectively, Batman, The Flash and Aquaman).

It was revealed, four years after her introduction, that Wonder Girl had been orphaned by a fire which killed her parents. Saved by Wonder Woman, she had been taken to Paradise Island, where she was given Amazon powers by the mysterious Purple Ray. She later took the alias of Donna Troy and remained on Earth.
These revelations were published in Teen Titans [first series] #22.
Since the Crisis on Infinite EarthsCrisis on Infinite Earths was a 12 issue comic book mini-series produced by DC Comics in 1985 in order to clean up their 50-year-old, convoluted and confusing continuity. Written by Marv Wolfman and illustrated by George Perez, Dick Giordano and Jerry Ord, Donna Troy's origin has been rewritten several times. The first rewrite came about when it was noticed that, in post-Crisis continuity, she had made her heroic debut before Wonder Woman.

Her origin was then rewritten again. The latest version has it that she was originally a magically-created duplicate of the young Princess Diana of Themiscira (a nod to the original Wonder Girl), cursed by the Dark Angel (a World War IIWorld War II was the most extensive and costly armed conflict in the history of the world, involving the great majority of the world's nations, being fought simultaneously in several major theatres, and costing tens of millions of lives.
