Only these are acceptable English:

I wonder who she is? 
I wondered what was on her mind?

Mr Micawber i really need your help, could you explain it to me why the sentence "i wonder who she is" the "is" is at the back but the sentence "i wonder what was on her mind" the "was" is after what (in the middle). Please help me out.
