I wanted Laurel to somehow be raised in Themyscira. So as in the first origin story,as in the second origin story, her mother dies as well. The second part of the first story is the same in this one.

The nymph Daphne had a a cousin, ( who was a dryad) who was deeply in love with the god Apollo. After Daphne's dealings with Apollo and transformation into the laurel tree, the young dryad wept for the loss of her cousin and vowed never to pursue Apollo. The young dryad wept and kept her vow for many years, centuries ect., until she found that she couldn't go on living that way. She decided to break her vow and pursue Apollo. When Apollo met the dryad he saw some of the same beauty and grace her cousin Daphne had. He fell in love with her and together they had a child together, Laurel, whom the young Dryad named after her beloved cousin.The dryad and her daughter Laurel lived together in the left alone forests of Greece. When a forest fire invaded their home, Laurel was able to escape while her mother's tree was left to burn, thus making her mother die as well. After this Apollo took her to Themyscira to be raised.

The rest is the same as in the first origin story. Though this would mean, Laurel would also have some powers to do with nature as well since her mother was a dryad and she would have no last name.
