Yara Flor was born to an Amazon of Themyscira, Aella, who left Themyscira to adventure across the globe. Eventually her journey would bring her to Brazil where she fell in love with a local deity and bore a daughter by him, a girl she named Yara. Aella and Yara would be taken in by the local Amazon tribe known as the Esquecida. Tragically, Aella was killed by agents of the Greek pantheon, while Yara was spirited away by a woman named Renata to Boise, Idaho, in the United States, where she spent her years as a child and young adult.
When Yara was twenty one years old she decided to travel back to her homeland. Renata disapproved of Flor's decision as she deemed it dangerous, although she nevertheless saw her off at Boise Airport alongside Yara's uncle Brian.
