->'''Played by:''' Creator/JameySheridan
Husband of Moira and father of Oliver, but not Thea (though he still loved her like his own). He was a well-intentioned member of Malcolm Merlyn's scheme to clean up Star(ling) City, until he learned of Malcolm's plan to level the Glades. Malcolm sabotaged the ''Queen's Gambit'' to prevent him from exposing the conspiracy, which resulted in Robert passing the list onto Oliver before committing suicide.

At some point when he was trying to set up some building in the Glades, the councilman he spoke to tried to blackmail him into bribing him. When he refused and the resulting fight ends with him accidentally killing the councilman, he joined Malcolm's group to clean up the Glades to atone for this, until he finds out what Malcolm is planning.

->'''Played By:''' Colin Salmon
CEO of Queen Industries, Walter was Robert Queen's best friend. He married Moira sometime after Robert's death, but divorces her after Season One due to her lies and role in the Undertaking. He is the current CFO of Star(ling) National Bank.
----
* AllLovingHero: Downplayed. But you'll notice that Walter likes just about everybody, and everybody likes him.
* AmicableExes: Despite the fallout of their marriage, he and Moira patched things up and remain civil with each other.
* AscendedExtra: Appeared in exactly one panel in one issue of any comic book, ever.
* BadassBaritone: He has a very deep voice.
* BadLiar: It's because he's British according to Felicity.
* BaldBlackLeaderGuy: He's the CEO (former CFO) of Queen Industries.
* BeardOfSorrow: He has no time (and tools) to shave when he was captured by Tempest for much of Season 1. He shaved immediately once he's rescued.
* BenevolentBoss: Gets along very well with employees. His kind nature is why Felicity wanted to help find him.
* BigDamnHeroes: Helps Oliver secure a 50% stake in Queen Consolidated, saving it from a corporate takeover by Isabel Rochev.
* CelebrityParadox:
** Ray is apparently a fan of ''Series/DoctorWho'', a show which his actor has appeared in.
** Ray also acknowledges the existence of the ''Film/JamesBond'' film series in this universe. Colin Salmon was a prominent supporting cast during Creator/PierceBrosnan's tenure as the title character.
** An episode of ''Series/TheFlash2014'' mentions the existence of the ''Franchise/LawAndOrder'' franchise. Colin Salmon was a RecurringCharacter in ''Series/LawAndOrderUK''.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He abruptly departs the series without warning.
* CommutingOnABus:
** He leaves on a "business trip" in "Damaged" where he's actually investigating Moira's lies, but he returns in "Muse of Fire". Then he gets kidnapped in "Year's End". He's rescued in "The Undertaking", but leaves again at the end of the following episode after telling Moira that he's filed for divorce.
** He returns in Season Two as an angel investor in Queen Consolidated, then shows up again in the middle of the season to try to convince Moira to run for Mayor, and pops up once more to comfort Thea at Moira's funeral.
** He hasn't been since Season 2, after Moira's funeral, but he still lives in Star City, where he was asked by the Star City council to run for mayor. He declined.
* DistressedDude: He's kidnapped by Malcolm and spends six months as a captive until he's rescued by the Hood.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Subverted. Is used as a mid-episode cliffhanger, but the source was lying.
* HappilyMarried: Until "Darkness At the Edge of Town".
* HonestCorporateExecutive: He's definitely one of these -- see NonIdleRich below. Ironically, he's married to his polar opposite, though he doesn't realize this at first.
* HonorBeforeReason: Walter's stated reason for investigating further into Robert Queen's murder despite being told that doing so was dangerous? Because Robert was his friend and he's the type of guy to avenge his best friend's murder.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Felicity Smoak. This may be a MythologyGag since Felicity is originally the stepmother of the DC hero [[ComicBook/{{Firestorm}} Ronnie Raymond]] (though not here in the show).
* LargeAndInCharge: He stands 6'4 1/2 and serves as the CFO of Star City national Bank, and was previously Queen Consolidated's CEO.
* LikeASonToMe: Treats Thea as if she were his own daughter. And while things are initially frosty between them, it's clear that he views Oliver as if he were his own son, and actually calls him "son" in "The Undertaking". He reiterates this in "City of Heroes" when he states that regardless of the situation between himself and their mother, if Oliver and Thea need anything, they can call him.
* NiceGuy: Friendly and personable to more or less everyone.
* NiceToTheWaiter: Being this to Felicity is explicitly the reason she tries to discover his fate. Also, when his head of security gets killed under suspicious circumstances, he's reluctant to have any other staff continue that investigation.
* NonActionGuy: Walter doesn't get involved in fights.
* NonIdleRich: Though a NonActionGuy, because he's an HonestCorporateExecutive, he tends to do his due diligence. When he suspects potential embezzling within his company, he personally investigates despite the fact that he has an entire department also investigating.
* RaceLift: He's Caucasian (and American) in the comics.
* RedHerring: Savvy viewers expect him to be the bad guy. Oliver comes home and finds Walter married to his mother. In just a few episodes, we learn that nope, Walter's a genuinely good guy who loves Moira and Thea, is a caring and dedicated CEO, and wants nothing but the best for his adopted family and the employees. The reason people think he's evil in the beginning is mostly because a) [[EvilBrit he's British]] and b) he's a bit uptight. Regardless, he's an honorable gentleman through and through.
* RefusedTheCall: He rejects the offers to run for Star City's mayoral position at the start of Season 4.

* BigDamnHeroes: Helps Oliver secure a 50% stake in Queen Consolidated, saving it from a corporate takeover by Isabel Rochev.
* CelebrityParadox:
** Ray is apparently a fan of ''Series/DoctorWho'', a show which his actor has appeared in.
** Ray also acknowledges the existence of the ''Film/JamesBond'' film series in this universe. Colin Salmon was a prominent supporting cast during Creator/PierceBrosnan's tenure as the title character.
** An episode of ''Series/TheFlash2014'' mentions the existence of the ''Franchise/LawAndOrder'' franchise. Colin Salmon was a RecurringCharacter in ''Series/LawAndOrderUK''.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He abruptly departs the series without warning.
* CommutingOnABus:
** He leaves on a "business trip" in "Damaged" where he's actually investigating Moira's lies, but he returns in "Muse of Fire". Then he gets kidnapped in "Year's End". He's rescued in "The Undertaking", but leaves again at the end of the following episode after telling Moira that he's filed for divorce.
** He returns in Season Two as an angel investor in Queen Consolidated, then shows up again in the middle of the season to try to convince Moira to run for Mayor, and pops up once more to comfort Thea at Moira's funeral.
** He hasn't been since Season 2, after Moira's funeral, but he still lives in Star City, where he was asked by the Star City council to run for mayor. He declined.
* DistressedDude: He's kidnapped by Malcolm and spends six months as a captive until he's rescued by the Hood.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Subverted. Is used as a mid-episode cliffhanger, but the source was lying.
* HappilyMarried: Until "Darkness At the Edge of Town".
* HonestCorporateExecutive: He's definitely one of these --
-> see
* HonorBeforeReason: Walter's stated reason for investigating further into Robert Queen's murder despite being told that doing so was dangerous? Because Robert was his friend and he's the type of guy to avenge his best friend's murder.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Felicity Smoak. This may be a MythologyGag since Felicity is originally the stepmother of the DC hero [[ComicBook/{{Firestorm}} Ronnie Raymond]] (though not here in the show).
* LargeAndInCharge: He stands 6'4 1/2 and serves as the CFO of Star City national Bank, and was previously Queen Consolidated's CEO.
* LikeASonToMe: Treats Thea as if she were his own daughter. And while things are initially frosty between them, it's clear that he views Oliver as if he were his own son, and actually calls him "son" in "The Undertaking". He reiterates this in "City of Heroes" when he states that regardless of the situation between himself and their mother, if Oliver and Thea need anything, they can call him.
* NiceGuy: Friendly and personable to more or less everyone.
* NiceToTheWaiter: Being this to Felicity is explicitly the reason she tries to discover his fate. Also, when his head of security gets killed under suspicious circumstances, he's reluctant to have any other staff continue that investigation.
* NonActionGuy: Walter doesn't get involved in fights.
* NonIdleRich: Though a NonActionGuy, because he's an HonestCorporateExecutive, he tends to do his due diligence. When he suspects potential embezzling within his company, he personally investigates despite the fact that he has an entire department also investigating.
* RaceLift: He's Caucasian (and American) in the comics.
* RedHerring: Savvy viewers expect him to be the bad guy. Oliver comes home and finds Walter married to his mother. In just a few episodes, we learn that nope, Walter's a genuinely good guy who loves Moira and Thea, is a caring and dedicated CEO, and wants nothing but the best for his adopted family and the employees. The reason people think he's evil in the beginning is mostly because a) [[EvilBrit he's British]] and b) he's a bit uptight. Regardless, he's an honorable gentleman through and through.
* RefusedTheCall: He rejects the offers to run for Star City's mayoral position at the start of Season 4.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: He becomes the stepfather of both Oliver and Thea (Mia Dearden, herself being heavily associated with this trope) due to his marriage to Moira. In the comics, he's just a minor character unrelated to both characters.
* RomancingTheWidow: Or rather romanced the widow.
* SecretKeeper: One of two people who knew that Thea is actually Malcolm Merlyn's daughter prior to the Undertaking. Notably, Walter is the only one Moira ''chose'' to tell, with the other person being her doctor after complications with the birth.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: He stands 6'4 1/2 and is definitely a good-looking man.

Laurel's younger sister. Sara was thought to have died on the ''Queen's Gambit'' when it sunk, she was actually rescued by the crew of the ''Amazo'', where she became a reluctant participant in Dr. Anthony Ivo's experiments. She was later found and recruited by the League of Assassins, which she later left. In Season Two, Sara returns to Star(ling) City, becomes a vigilante known as the Canary, and reunites with Oliver and her family.
Sara is killed in Season 3, but is resurrected in Season 4 by the Lazarus Pit, and later takes up the name White Canary. See also her section in ''Characters.LegendsOfTomorrow'',
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Her canary costume is zipped down in the chest area.
* ActionGirl: She makes her reappearance in Season Two by [[BigDamnHeroes showing up out of nowhere and demolishing four thugs to save Roy]].
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: If her relationship with Oliver is any indication. Judging by her past with Nyssa, this extends to bad girls as well.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: After her death, Laurel really had a lot to live up to when she starts donning her sister's mask.
* AndStarring: She's finally given a "Special Guest Star" citation starting Season 4.
* AnimalMotif: She loved canaries long before she joined the [=LoA=].
* AntiHero: Sara, although fighting for the side of good and having heroic intentions, can be very merciless, having killed the Dollmaker and nearly killing Helen for endangering Laurel. She was also willing to permanently put down Roy when the Mirakuru made him dangerous.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: In the past, her relationship with Laurel doesn't ever have seemed to be particularly good. When she's revealed to be alive, an [[TheAlcoholic alcoholic]] Laurel completely rejects her. However, they do become closer after Laurel starts going to AA meetings, and she discovers Sara's vigilante identity.
* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: Ta-er al-Sahfer doesn't really translate to "canary", it actually translates to "yellow bird". The actual Arabic word for "canary" is a loanword that is pronounced exactly like "canary".
* BackForTheDead: She was PutOnABus at the end of Season 2, suddenly comes back out of the blue near the end of the season 3 premiere, then gets unceremoniously killed in the same scene to push Laurel's story and CharacterDevelopment.
* BackFromTheDead: Twice. She survived the sinking of the ''Queen's Gambit'', much to Oliver's surprise. Then she survived the collapse and sinking of the ''Amazo'' freighter after being saved by Nyssa al Ghul. Make that thrice as of [[spoiler:Season 4 "Restoration", after she's KilledOffForReal in Season 3 but is resurrected by the Lazarus Pit in Nanda Parbat. The girl has a habit of dying and coming back.]]
* BadassBisexual: Bisexual and a deadly fighter.
* BattleCouple: When she and Oliver fight together. Also implied to have been one with Nyssa Al-Ghul during her time with the League of Assassins, confirmed in "Unthinkable".
* BigDamnHeroes: Shows up out of nowhere and saves Roy at the end of "City of Heroes", then does it again twice in "Broken Dolls", once to save Arrow from the cops and later to stop a fleeing Barton Mathis.
* [[BigLittleBrother Big Little Sister]]: Her original actress, Jacqueline [=MacInnes=] Wood, is taller (5'8) than Laurel's actress, Katie Cassidy (5'6 1/2). No longer the case after Caity Lotz (5'6) takes over.
* BigOlEyebrows: Both Jacqueline [=MacInnes=] Wood and Caity Lotz have thick eyebrows (the former more so).
* BikerBabe: She's frequently seen riding motorcycles.
* BiTheWay: Confirmed by her relationship with Nyssa Al-Ghul. The creators stressed they didn't want to add labels by calling her bisexual (or, by extension, a lesbian) since they don't seem to see it as truly different from any heterosexual pairing.
* BoobsOfSteel: She's a well trained fighter ''and'' a well-endowed one.
* BreakoutCharacter: She's originally supposed to be just a PlotDevice for her older sister's journey to become Black Canary (and was even slated to become the villain Ravager until Summer Glau's unhappiness with her small role caused it to be shifted to her), but she quickly became a fan-favorite character upon her introduction. After she gets killed in the Season 3 premiere, '''a lot''' of fans were upset. The showrunners eventually saw how beloved of a character she is and finds a way to literally bring her BackFromTheDead and is now slated to be one of the main characters [[Series/LegendsOfTomorrow a new spin-off series]].
* BreakTheCutie: Flashbacks show how much of a carefree party girl Sara was before the ''Queen's Gambit''. A lot of horrible things happened to her to turn her into the ruthless assassin she is in the present.
* BrokenBird: After nearly dying on Lian Yu and having to join the League of Assassins to survive, she went from a carefree party girl to becoming quiet, reserved, and haunted, seeing herself as a murderer who is no hero.
* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:After Constantine restores her soul, she takes all of one episode to decide she needs to leave town until she can control her Lazarus Pit-induced violence, conveniently setting her up for her role in ''Legends of Tomorrow''.]]
* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:After being revived by the Lazarus Pit, her body is restored, but her soul is not: she showed no remnants of her former self and is now irrational, aggressive, and totally feral. No longer the case after being RescuedFromTheUnderworld (see below).]]
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: [[ComicBook/BlackCanary Laurel's counterpart and namesake]] doesn't have a sister in the comics. She's later revealed to be a DecompositeCharacter after she shows up as The Canary. She's then also confirmed as the Franchise/{{Arrowverse}}'s White Canary ([[AdaptationalHeroism who is a villain in the comics]]).
* ChekhovMIA: Presumed dead even before Season 1, she returns as an integral member of team Arrow in Season 2.
* ClarkKenting: Her disguise is a large DominoMask and a wig that's a lighter blonde to he natural hair color. This is enough for her own sister not to recognise her, apparently.
* CompositeCharacter: Despite mainly being DecompositeCharacter of the Dinah Drake Lance Black Canary, she also has shades of the Dinah Laurel Lance version as well. For the Dinah Drake Lance version, she got her role as Laurel's predecessor and the one who doesn't possess the actual Canary Cry. For the Dinah Laurel Lance version, she got her role as being in a BattleCouple with Oliver, her bisexuality and being a parental figure to Sin. In the upcoming ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'', she'll don the identity of White Canary, yet another different character in the comics.
* ContinuitySnarl: Both her hair color and name spelling were different in the pilot due to the recasting of her actress. [[note]] Jacqueline [=MacInnes=] Wood's raven-haired Sara'''h''' vs. Caity Lotz's blonde-haired Sara. [[/note]] What really emphasized the "Snarl" is her original height and hair-color were important plot points late in Season 1, when her family thought they found her, but instead found an IdenticalStranger having ''both'' those attributes. This has not been addressed ever by both the show and WordOfGod to this day.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Uses a voice-changer like Oliver that gives her this voice.
* CoveredInScars: She has visible scars in her back. A doctor even compared her to a war veteran because of said injuries.
* DanceBattler: Her (second) actress practices Tricking, training discipline that combines martial arts kicks with flips and twists from gymnastics as well as many dance moves and styles from breakdancing, and it shows in some of her fight scenes.
* DatingCatwoman: She used to date Nyssa Al-Ghul, and they still care for each other.
* DeathByOriginStory: Played with. She "died" in the pilot. Later, there was evidence to suggest she was alive, but it was refuted. However, she's now back alive and well, kicking ass and taking names in Starling City. For Oliver, she had ''two'' deaths, because he saw her "die" again on the island.
** And a third time. As her real death is Laurel's Black Canary origin story. Later though in ''Legends of Tomorrow'' its shown she is still alive.
* DeathBySex: Subverted. She appeared to have died after sleeping with her sister's boyfriend, but she later turned up alive.
* DecompositeCharacter: At first, she seems to share the role of ComicBook/BlackCanary with her sister, Laurel. However, given the creators have mentioned their desire for this to be a LegacyCharacter-type thing, she's actually a DecompositeCharacter of Dinah ''Drake'', her and Laurel's mother and the comics' first Black Canary. She does have Comic!Laurel's bisexuality though.
* DominoMask: Wears one in her guise as the first incarnation of [[ComicBook/BlackCanary the Canary]]. It's still larger and more concealing than Helena's mask or Oliver's face paint.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: She gets killed by Thea at the end of the Season 3 premiere.
* DyingToBeReplaced: A ''very'' odd variation. She shows up in costume before Laurel is even started on a proper heroic journey, seemingly replacing her in her iconic role as Black Canary. Her story arc introduces major fan-favorites like the League of Assassins and has a definite RedemptionQuest angle. However, since Laurel is the female lead, with the planned out fate of becoming Black Canary herself, Sara became an awkward character for the show. You can see the results above...
* FakeGuestStar: Caity Lotz has been in 22 out of 23 episodes of the second season, which is more than some of the actual regular cast, and so far has been integral to the season's plot, but wasn't promoted to series regular. Her being a guest star in seasons three and four makes sense though, as in the former she dies in the first episode and makes only a few posthumous appearances, while in the latter she's resurrected in a brief recurring stint that sets up her role in ''Legends of Tomorrow''.
* ForceAndFinesse: Her and Laurel's fighting styles can be described this way. Sara prefers to fight more gracefully (Finesse) while Laurel has a more smash-mouth style of fighting (Force).
* ForgottenFallenFriend: After "The Climb," Ollie seems to have swept her death under the rug and the mastermind behind her murder successfully manipulated Oliver into protecting him. The only people who still actively try to find justice for her are her sister, Nyssa, Thea (who ironically was the one used to unknowingly and unwillingly to kill her) and her father.
* FormerTeenRebel: Back in Season 1, Laurel and Quentin discussed how troublesome she was during her youth.
* GirlinessUpgrade: Inverted. Her outfits prior to the yacht accident were more feminine. Once she returns, she basically becomes an older version of a {{Shorttank}}.
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Prior to the start of the series, she fell into the Beautiful Sister category, a rare younger sister variety. Still, both she and Laurel had some crossover.
* GoodBadGirl: She sleeps with her sister's boyfriend. She later tells Oliver on the island that Laurel got her grounded, knowing she had a crush on Oliver, and went after him herself; and it's later revealed in another flashback that Sara was having doubts about betraying Laurel, and a fight between the two (ironically, because Sara was trying to warn Laurel that planning her future around a guy who's known for being a casanova wasn't a good idea, stemming from Ollie's texts pleading with Sara to come with him) is what ultimately pushed Sara into going through with it. This heavily implies an element of revenge in her sleeping with Oliver on the yacht.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Inverted when she fights with Oliver. Though they are proficient with each other's weapons, she prefers the Bo Staff while Oliver prefers the bow.
* HairColorDissonance: She has [[RavenHairIvorySkin raven hair]] in the pilot flashback, but Season 2 onwards [[TheOtherDarrin recast her]] as a blonde and stick with it. What's really jarring is her original raven-hair was a plot point late in Season 1 when her family believed that she may be alive only for them to find an IdenticalStranger (who ''has'' raven hair). This has never been addressed on the show or by WordOfGod ever since.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Consistently calls herself a killer, and not a hero, due to her past as a killer and her comfortableness with taking a life, ending up leaving Starling City briefly from "Seeing Red" until her reappearance in "Streets of Fire" as a result. She realizes that maybe she's more than that after hearing the praise the Canary got from a police officer who saw her do a HeroicFireRescue in the latter episode.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: She headlines (as part of an EnsembleCast) [[Series/LegendsOfTomorrow her own show]].
* ItsAllAboutMe: Somewhat. After Laurel viciously rejects her, Oliver suggests giving her time to come around, but Sara sadly says that she gave her "six years" already. However, unlike Oliver, Sara had some opportunity to contact her family and didn't, leaving the complaint holding significantly less weight.
** She ''did'' spend a good amount of time with the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast League of Assassins]] during that time. Because of this, it's arguable that she had less of an opportunity to contact her family than Oliver did, since it would be easier to get away from Amanda Waller than it would be to get away from Ra's al Ghul.
* ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: She tells her father this is why she can't come home to stay. Justified in that she ''is'' being chased by the League of Assassins, and they ''do'' actively go after her family to draw her out. No longer the case after "Heir to the Demon", however.
* LadyOfWar: She moves gracefully in battle, employing [[DanceBattler gymnastic flips and dance-like movements]], and uses a bo staff with speed and deadly efficiency.
* LeParkour: One of her many skills learned from the [=LoA=].
* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: A running thread through Season Two is that while Oliver is holding valiantly to his ThouShaltNotKill policy, Sara has shown to be more than willing to kill if she feels it's necessary, with the same conversation coming up regarding Helena and Roy.
* MoralityPet: To Nyssa Al-Ghul.
* MsFanservice:
** In her first appearance, she's dressed in lingerie and an open robe. Her outfit as the Canary also qualifies -- aside from the tight black leather, she shows off a lot of cleavage.
** She also spends time on the salmon ladder, and there are a good number of shots of her wearing only a bra, somewhat similar to Ollie's tendency to spend a lot of time shirtless, though hers are less frequent.
* NeverFoundTheBody: Being swept away by a violent ocean storm will do that. Twice even.
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: [[spoiler: She wasn't with Laurel during the her final hours. She finally finds out during ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''[='=]s first SeasonFinale.]]
* OfCorsetsSexy: What's under the leather jacket of her Canary costume.
* PeekABangs: Has some in Season Two, as part of the blonde wig she wears on top of her already blonde hair. Actually does a nice job of giving her some additional concealment similar to Oliver's hood.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: Her death is what basically kickstarted the entire Season 3.
* PosthumousCharacter: Subverted in Season Two. Double Subverted in Season 3 when she's KilledOffForReal, until she she was resurrected in Season 4.
* ProfessionalKiller: An erstwhile member of the League of Assassins, she proves to still be highly adept at the "killer" part, though she's ''not'' happy about it.
* ThePromise: She made a promise to a dying pilot that she'd look after his daughter -- none other than Sin.
* PutOnABus: Twice in "Unthinkable" - Sara leaves with the League of Assassins as in exchange for their assistance in stopping Slade's army in the present; whilst at the same time the flashbacks reveal that Sara was dragged into the ocean during the destruction of the Amazo, explaining why Oliver believed she was dead throughout the first season.
* RaceLift: Dons the White Canary identity, who is Asian in the comics (though see CompositeCharacter above), in ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Since she dons the White Canary identity in ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'', this made the character related to the Lance/Black Canary family by default. In the comics, the White Canary is an unrelated character who is a self-appointed ArchEnemy of Black Canary (the Dinah Laurel Lance version).
* TheRedBaron:
** Among the League of Assassins she was known as: Ta-er al-Sahfer (الطائر الأصفر)- "The Canary" [[note]]Literally this translates into "yellow bird", there is no Arabic word for canary[[/note]].
** This also overlaps with YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre. As Laurel points out "If you were so horrible, why would they give you such a beautiful name?"
* RescuedFromTheUnderworld: [[spoiler:Oliver and Laurel, with the help of John Constantine, bust into TheUnderworld and retrieve Sara's soul to return it to her body]].
* RescueRomance: Played with. Nyssa claims that she found Sara, saved her life, and then slowly nursed her back to health. Sarah however insists she wasn't with Nyssa because of that, but because she loved her.
* SacrificialLion: In the final moments of the Season 3 premiere, Sara is killed off. Right after speaking to her sister and saving Oliver from Werner Zytle, the new Count Vertigo, she is shot with three arrows and her body falls off a roof and lands near Laurel, killing her on impact as Laurel screams out in horror.
* SimpleStaff: Sara uses a bo staff that can disconnect to form batons as her primary weapon. She also twice uses an improvised staff, firstly taking the wooden door frame and later a metal pipe, to fight someone who'd attacked her and Oliver when they were out of costume.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The ContinuitySnarl above caused this, with her name being Sara'''h''' in the pilot. Once she's recast, the "h" gets dropped.
* StockholmSyndrome: Had a ''bad'' case of this thanks to Ivo, who callously manipulated her on the island. She grows out of it when she realizes how horrible he really is even to her.
* StrangerInAFamiliarLand: Both of her returns to her home city were met with her own cynical view of herself, stating that she's no longer the Sara who returned (first from The League of Assassins, the second [[spoiler: [[BackFromTheDead from death]]]]).
* TelescopingStaff: Her WeaponOfChoice. It can also [[BifurcatedWeapon separate into a pair of Eskrima sticks]].
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: After supposedly dying twice and really killed once [[note]] maybe twice too, assuming that she's still in Central City when Vandal Savage destroyed it before Barry's TimeTravel negated it [[/note]] but brought back with the Lazarus Pit, it might become a little hard to take any threat to her life seriously.
* TookALevelInBadass: When she joined the League of Assassins.
* TwoFirstNames: Per the Creator/DCComics norm.
* VigilanteMan: What she becomes in Season Two. She seems as rough as Oliver was in the beginning -- she kills a pinned-down SerialKiller (to be fair, he did go after her sister and father), and her targets of choice, as opposed to early Oliver's white-collar criminals, appear to be those who abuse women. However, time with Oliver makes her calm on this.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's nigh-impossible to talk about her, or the plot of the second season, without revealing that she's alive and a fellow vigilante.
* WomanInBlack: As The Canary. Her civilian outfits also tend to be dark.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Her primary character arc this season is her learning that she's not just the cold-hearted monster she thinks she is, resulting in her getting told this by people. It takes a while for her to start believing them.
* YourCheatingHeart: Sara was sleeping with her sister Laurel's boyfriend, Oliver. They hook up again in the middle of Season Two, though by then, Oliver and Laurel are firmly not together, and after some trouble, [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments she gives them both her blessing and encouragement]].

* CoveredInScars: She has visible scars in her back. A doctor even compared her to a war veteran because of said injuries.
* DanceBattler: Her (second) actress practices Tricking, training discipline that combines martial arts kicks with flips and twists from gymnastics as well as many dance moves and styles from breakdancing, and it shows in some of her fight scenes.
* DatingCatwoman: She used to date Nyssa Al-Ghul, and they still care for each other.
* DeathByOriginStory: Played with. She "died" in the pilot. Later, there was evidence to suggest she was alive, but it was refuted. However, she's now back alive and well, kicking ass and taking names in Starling City. For Oliver, she had ''two'' deaths, because he saw her "die" again on the island.
** And a third time. As her real death is Laurel's Black Canary origin story. Later though in ''Legends of Tomorrow'' its shown she is still alive.
* DeathBySex: Subverted. She appeared to have died after sleeping with her sister's boyfriend, but she later turned up alive.
* DecompositeCharacter: At first, she seems to share the role of ComicBook/BlackCanary with her sister, Laurel. However, given the creators have mentioned their desire for this to be a LegacyCharacter-type thing, she's actually a DecompositeCharacter of Dinah ''Drake'', her and Laurel's mother and the comics' first Black Canary. She does have Comic!Laurel's bisexuality though.
* DominoMask: Wears one in her guise as the first incarnation of [[ComicBook/BlackCanary the Canary]]. It's still larger and more concealing than Helena's mask or Oliver's face paint.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: She gets killed by Thea at the end of the Season 3 premiere.
* DyingToBeReplaced: A ''very'' odd variation. She shows up in costume before Laurel is even started on a proper heroic journey, seemingly replacing her in her iconic role as Black Canary. Her story arc introduces major fan-favorites like the League of Assassins and has a definite RedemptionQuest angle. However, since Laurel is the female lead, with the planned out fate of becoming Black Canary herself, Sara became an awkward character for the show. You can see the results above...
* FakeGuestStar: Caity Lotz has been in 22 out of 23 episodes of the second season, which is more than some of the actual regular cast, and so far has been integral to the season's plot, but wasn't promoted to series regular. Her being a guest star in seasons three and four makes sense though, as in the former she dies in the first episode and makes only a few posthumous appearances, while in the latter she's resurrected in a brief recurring stint that sets up her role in ''Legends of Tomorrow''.
* ForceAndFinesse: Her and Laurel's fighting styles can be described this way. Sara prefers to fight more gracefully (Finesse) while Laurel has a more smash-mouth style of fighting (Force).
* ForgottenFallenFriend: After "The Climb," Ollie seems to have swept her death under the rug and the mastermind behind her murder successfully manipulated Oliver into protecting him. The only people who still actively try to find justice for her are her sister, Nyssa, Thea (who ironically was the one used to unknowingly and unwillingly to kill her) and her father.
* FormerTeenRebel: Back in Season 1, Laurel and Quentin discussed how troublesome she was during her youth.
* GirlinessUpgrade: Inverted. Her outfits prior to the yacht accident were more feminine. Once she returns, she basically becomes an older version of a {{Shorttank}}.
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Prior to the start of the series, she fell into the Beautiful Sister category, a rare younger sister variety. Still, both she and Laurel had some crossover.
* GoodBadGirl: She sleeps with her sister's boyfriend. She later tells Oliver on the island that Laurel got her grounded, knowing she had a crush on Oliver, and went after him herself; and it's later revealed in another flashback that Sara was having doubts about betraying Laurel, and a fight between the two (ironically, because Sara was trying to warn Laurel that planning her future around a guy who's known for being a casanova wasn't a good idea, stemming from Ollie's texts pleading with Sara to come with him) is what ultimately pushed Sara into going through with it. This heavily implies an element of revenge in her sleeping with Oliver on the yacht.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Inverted when she fights with Oliver. Though they are proficient with each other's weapons, she prefers the Bo Staff while Oliver prefers the bow.
* HairColorDissonance: She has [[RavenHairIvorySkin raven hair]] in the pilot flashback, but Season 2 onwards [[TheOtherDarrin recast her]] as a blonde and stick with it. What's really jarring is her original raven-hair was a plot point late in Season 1 when her family believed that she may be alive only for them to find an IdenticalStranger (who ''has'' raven hair). This has never been addressed on the show or by WordOfGod ever since.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Consistently calls herself a killer, and not a hero, due to her past as a killer and her comfortableness with taking a life, ending up leaving Starling City briefly from "Seeing Red" until her reappearance in "Streets of Fire" as a result. She realizes that maybe she's more than that after hearing the praise the Canary got from a police officer who saw her do a HeroicFireRescue in the latter episode.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: She headlines (as part of an EnsembleCast) [[Series/LegendsOfTomorrow her own show]].
* ItsAllAboutMe: Somewhat. After Laurel viciously rejects her, Oliver suggests giving her time to come around, but Sara sadly says that she gave her "six years" already. However, unlike Oliver, Sara had some opportunity to contact her family and didn't, leaving the complaint holding significantly less weight.
** She ''did'' spend a good amount of time with the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast League of Assassins]] during that time. Because of this, it's arguable that she had less of an opportunity to contact her family than Oliver did, since it would be easier to get away from Amanda Waller than it would be to get away from Ra's al Ghul.
* ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: She tells her father this is why she can't come home to stay. Justified in that she ''is'' being chased by the League of Assassins, and they ''do'' actively go after her family to draw her out. No longer the case after "Heir to the Demon", however.
* LadyOfWar: She moves gracefully in battle, employing [[DanceBattler gymnastic flips and dance-like movements]], and uses a bo staff with speed and deadly efficiency.
* LeParkour: One of her many skills learned from the [=LoA=].
* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: A running thread through Season Two is that while Oliver is holding valiantly to his ThouShaltNotKill policy, Sara has shown to be more than willing to kill if she feels it's necessary, with the same conversation coming up regarding Helena and Roy.
* MoralityPet: To Nyssa Al-Ghul.
* MsFanservice:
** In her first appearance, she's dressed in lingerie and an open robe. Her outfit as the Canary also qualifies -- aside from the tight black leather, she shows off a lot of cleavage.
** She also spends time on the salmon ladder, and there are a good number of shots of her wearing only a bra, somewhat similar to Ollie's tendency to spend a lot of time shirtless, though hers are less frequent.
* NeverFoundTheBody: Being swept away by a violent ocean storm will do that. Twice even.
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: [[spoiler: She wasn't with Laurel during the her final hours. She finally finds out during ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''[='=]s first SeasonFinale.]]
* OfCorsetsSexy: What's under the leather jacket of her Canary costume.
* PeekABangs: Has some in Season Two, as part of the blonde wig she wears on top of her already blonde hair. Actually does a nice job of giving her some additional concealment similar to Oliver's hood.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: Her death is what basically kickstarted the entire Season 3.
* PosthumousCharacter: Subverted in Season Two. Double Subverted in Season 3 when she's KilledOffForReal, until she she was resurrected in Season 4.
* ProfessionalKiller: An erstwhile member of the League of Assassins, she proves to still be highly adept at the "killer" part, though she's ''not'' happy about it.
* ThePromise: She made a promise to a dying pilot that she'd look after his daughter -- none other than Sin.
* PutOnABus: Twice in "Unthinkable" - Sara leaves with the League of Assassins as in exchange for their assistance in stopping Slade's army in the present; whilst at the same time the flashbacks reveal that Sara was dragged into the ocean during the destruction of the Amazo, explaining why Oliver believed she was dead throughout the first season.
* RaceLift: Dons the White Canary identity, who is Asian in the comics (though see CompositeCharacter above), in ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Since she dons the White Canary identity in ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'', this made the character related to the Lance/Black Canary family by default. In the comics, the White Canary is an unrelated character who is a self-appointed ArchEnemy of Black Canary (the Dinah Laurel Lance version).
* TheRedBaron:
** Among the League of Assassins she was known as: Ta-er al-Sahfer (الطائر الأصفر)- "The Canary" [[note]]Literally this translates into "yellow bird", there is no Arabic word for canary[[/note]].
** This also overlaps with YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre. As Laurel points out "If you were so horrible, why would they give you such a beautiful name?"
* RescuedFromTheUnderworld: [[spoiler:Oliver and Laurel, with the help of John Constantine, bust into TheUnderworld and retrieve Sara's soul to return it to her body]].
* RescueRomance: Played with. Nyssa claims that she found Sara, saved her life, and then slowly nursed her back to health. Sarah however insists she wasn't with Nyssa because of that, but because she loved her.
* SacrificialLion: In the final moments of the Season 3 premiere, Sara is killed off. Right after speaking to her sister and saving Oliver from Werner Zytle, the new Count Vertigo, she is shot with three arrows and her body falls off a roof and lands near Laurel, killing her on impact as Laurel screams out in horror.
* SimpleStaff: Sara uses a bo staff that can disconnect to form batons as her primary weapon. She also twice uses an improvised staff, firstly taking the wooden door frame and later a metal pipe, to fight someone who'd attacked her and Oliver when they were out of costume.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The ContinuitySnarl above caused this, with her name being Sara'''h''' in the pilot. Once she's recast, the "h" gets dropped.
* StockholmSyndrome: Had a ''bad'' case of this thanks to Ivo, who callously manipulated her on the island. She grows out of it when she realizes how horrible he really is even to her.
* StrangerInAFamiliarLand: Both of her returns to her home city were met with her own cynical view of herself, stating that she's no longer the Sara who returned (first from The League of Assassins, the second [[spoiler: [[BackFromTheDead from death]]]]).
* TelescopingStaff: Her WeaponOfChoice. It can also [[BifurcatedWeapon separate into a pair of Eskrima sticks]].
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: After supposedly dying twice and really killed once [[note]] maybe twice too, assuming that she's still in Central City when Vandal Savage destroyed it before Barry's TimeTravel negated it [[/note]] but brought back with the Lazarus Pit, it might become a little hard to take any threat to her life seriously.
* TookALevelInBadass: When she joined the League of Assassins.
* TwoFirstNames: Per the Creator/DCComics norm.
* VigilanteMan: What she becomes in Season Two. She seems as rough as Oliver was in the beginning -- she kills a pinned-down SerialKiller (to be fair, he did go after her sister and father), and her targets of choice, as opposed to early Oliver's white-collar criminals, appear to be those who abuse women. However, time with Oliver makes her calm on this.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's nigh-impossible to talk about her, or the plot of the second season, without revealing that she's alive and a fellow vigilante.
* WomanInBlack: As The Canary. Her civilian outfits also tend to be dark.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Her primary character arc this season is her learning that she's not just the cold-hearted monster she thinks she is, resulting in her getting told this by people. It takes a while for her to start believing them.
* YourCheatingHeart: Sara was sleeping with her sister Laurel's boyfriend, Oliver. They hook up again in the middle of Season Two, though by then, Oliver and Laurel are firmly not together, and after some trouble, [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments she gives them both her blessing and encouragement]].

->'''Known Aliases:''' The Canary, Ta-er al-Sahfer (الطائر الأصفر), White Canary
->'''Played By:''' Jacqueline [=MacInnes=] Wood (Pilot only)/Creator/CaityLotz
Laurel's younger sister. Sara was thought to have died on the ''Queen's Gambit'' when it sunk, she was actually rescued by the crew of the ''Amazo'', where she became a reluctant participant in Dr. Anthony Ivo's experiments. She was later found and recruited by the League of Assassins, which she later left. In Season Two, Sara returns to Star(ling) City, becomes a vigilante known as the Canary, and reunites with Oliver and her family.
Sara is killed in Season 3, but is resurrected in Season 4 by the Lazarus Pit, and later takes up the name White Canary. See also her section in ''Characters.LegendsOfTomorrow'',
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Her canary costume is zipped down in the chest area.
* ActionGirl: She makes her reappearance in Season Two by [[BigDamnHeroes showing up out of nowhere and demolishing four thugs to save Roy]].
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: If her relationship with Oliver is any indication. Judging by her past with Nyssa, this extends to bad girls as well.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: After her death, Laurel really had a lot to live up to when she starts donning her sister's mask.
* AndStarring: She's finally given a "Special Guest Star" citation starting Season 4.
* AnimalMotif: She loved canaries long before she joined the [=LoA=].
* AntiHero: Sara, although fighting for the side of good and having heroic intentions, can be very merciless, having killed the Dollmaker and nearly killing Helen for endangering Laurel. She was also willing to permanently put down Roy when the Mirakuru made him dangerous.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: In the past, her relationship with Laurel doesn't ever have seemed to be particularly good. When she's revealed to be alive, an [[TheAlcoholic alcoholic]] Laurel completely rejects her. However, they do become closer after Laurel starts going to AA meetings, and she discovers Sara's vigilante identity.
* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: Ta-er al-Sahfer doesn't really translate to "canary", it actually translates to "yellow bird". The actual Arabic word for "canary" is a loanword that is pronounced exactly like "canary".
* BackForTheDead: She was PutOnABus at the end of Season 2, suddenly comes back out of the blue near the end of the season 3 premiere, then gets unceremoniously killed in the same scene to push Laurel's story and CharacterDevelopment.
* BackFromTheDead: Twice. She survived the sinking of the ''Queen's Gambit'', much to Oliver's surprise. Then she survived the collapse and sinking of the ''Amazo'' freighter after being saved by Nyssa al Ghul. Make that thrice as of [[spoiler:Season 4 "Restoration", after she's KilledOffForReal in Season 3 but is resurrected by the Lazarus Pit in Nanda Parbat. The girl has a habit of dying and coming back.]]
* BadassBisexual: Bisexual and a deadly fighter.
* BattleCouple: When she and Oliver fight together. Also implied to have been one with Nyssa Al-Ghul during her time with the League of Assassins, confirmed in "Unthinkable".
* BigDamnHeroes: Shows up out of nowhere and saves Roy at the end of "City of Heroes", then does it again twice in "Broken Dolls", once to save Arrow from the cops and later to stop a fleeing Barton Mathis.
* [[BigLittleBrother Big Little Sister]]: Her original actress, Jacqueline [=MacInnes=] Wood, is taller (5'8) than Laurel's actress, Katie Cassidy (5'6 1/2). No longer the case after Caity Lotz (5'6) takes over.
* BigOlEyebrows: Both Jacqueline [=MacInnes=] Wood and Caity Lotz have thick eyebrows (the former more so).
* BikerBabe: She's frequently seen riding motorcycles.
* BiTheWay: Confirmed by her relationship with Nyssa Al-Ghul. The creators stressed they didn't want to add labels by calling her bisexual (or, by extension, a lesbian) since they don't seem to
-> see
* BoobsOfSteel: She's a well trained fighter ''and'' a well-endowed one.
* BreakoutCharacter: She's originally supposed to be just a PlotDevice for her older sister's journey to become Black Canary (and was even slated to become the villain Ravager until Summer Glau's unhappiness with her small role caused it to be shifted to her), but she quickly became a fan-favorite character upon her introduction. After she gets killed in the Season 3 premiere, '''a lot''' of fans were upset. The showrunners eventually saw how beloved of a character she is and finds a way to literally bring her BackFromTheDead and is now slated to be one of the main characters [[Series/LegendsOfTomorrow a new spin-off series]].
* BreakTheCutie: Flashbacks show how much of a carefree party girl Sara was before the ''Queen's Gambit''. A lot of horrible things happened to her to turn her into the ruthless assassin she is in the present.
* BrokenBird: After nearly dying on Lian Yu and having to join the League of Assassins to survive, she went from a carefree party girl to becoming quiet, reserved, and haunted, seeing herself as a murderer who is no hero.
* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:After Constantine restores her soul, she takes all of one episode to decide she needs to leave town until she can control her Lazarus Pit-induced violence, conveniently setting her up for her role in ''Legends of Tomorrow''.]]
* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:After being revived by the Lazarus Pit, her body is restored, but her soul is not: she showed no remnants of her former self and is now irrational, aggressive, and totally feral. No longer the case after being RescuedFromTheUnderworld (see below).]]
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: [[ComicBook/BlackCanary Laurel's counterpart and namesake]] doesn't have a sister in the comics. She's later revealed to be a DecompositeCharacter after she shows up as The Canary. She's then also confirmed as the Franchise/{{Arrowverse}}'s White Canary ([[AdaptationalHeroism who is a villain in the comics]]).
* ChekhovMIA: Presumed dead even before Season 1, she returns as an integral member of team Arrow in Season 2.
* ClarkKenting: Her disguise is a large DominoMask and a wig that's a lighter blonde to he natural hair color. This is enough for her own sister not to recognise her, apparently.
* CompositeCharacter: Despite mainly being DecompositeCharacter of the Dinah Drake Lance Black Canary, she also has shades of the Dinah Laurel Lance version as well. For the Dinah Drake Lance version, she got her role as Laurel's predecessor and the one who doesn't possess the actual Canary Cry. For the Dinah Laurel Lance version, she got her role as being in a BattleCouple with Oliver, her bisexuality and being a parental figure to Sin. In the upcoming ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'', she'll don the identity of White Canary, yet another different character in the comics.
* ContinuitySnarl: Both her hair color and name spelling were different in the pilot due to the recasting of her actress. [[note]] Jacqueline [=MacInnes=] Wood's raven-haired Sara'''h''' vs. Caity Lotz's blonde-haired Sara. [[/note]] What really emphasized the "Snarl" is her original height and hair-color were important plot points late in Season 1, when her family thought they found her, but instead found an IdenticalStranger having ''both'' those attributes. This has not been addressed ever by both the show and WordOfGod to this day.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Uses a voice-changer like Oliver that gives her this voice.
* CoveredInScars: She has visible scars in her back. A doctor even compared her to a war veteran because of said injuries.
* DanceBattler: Her (second) actress practices Tricking, training discipline that combines martial arts kicks with flips and twists from gymnastics as well as many dance moves and styles from breakdancing, and it shows in some of her fight scenes.
* DatingCatwoman: She used to date Nyssa Al-Ghul, and they still care for each other.
* DeathByOriginStory: Played with. She "died" in the pilot. Later, there was evidence to suggest she was alive, but it was refuted. However, she's now back alive and well, kicking ass and taking names in Starling City. For Oliver, she had ''two'' deaths, because he saw her "die" again on the island.

However, given the creators have mentioned their desire for this to be a LegacyCharacter-type thing, she's actually a DecompositeCharacter of Dinah ''Drake'', her and Laurel's mother and the comics' first Black Canary. She does have Comic!Laurel's bisexuality though.

----
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: At times particularly when it comes to Oliver.
* CanonForeigner: Doesn't have a comic book counterpart.
* DamselInDistress: When she's kidnapped in "Trust But Verify".
* DeadpanSnarker: Particularly when it comes to Oliver.
* DemotedToExtra: To ludicrous extremes, despite being Diggle's LoveInterest in season 1 she has dissapeard from the show entirely from 2 onwards. The only thing that stops her from [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome becoming chucked]] is that Diggle still mentions her and Andy Jr in passing. [[spoiler: This is especially baffling when you consider that her husband Andy is revealed to be alive and well in season 4 and yet the two never even see each other.]]
* LoveInterest: For Diggle in season 1 although this is {{subverted}} come season 2 onwards after the two of them [[OffscreenBreakup breakup]] and Lyla comes back into the picture.
* ParentWithNewParamour: Her son is probably young enough not to understand the change in relationship between his mother and his uncle.
* SassyBlackWoman: She's always snaky in her dialogue.
* SatelliteCharacter: To Diggle, only appearing to show their interest.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: We know very little about her outside of her relationship with Diggle. Then they break up after Season One because of Diggle's obsession with Deadshot.

->'''Played by:''' Bex Taylor-Klaus
A teenager living in the Glades, Sin is an ally of the Canary. She becomes friends with Roy and Thea.
----
* ActionSurvivor: When Roy came after her for information, she was able to escape and get him to where the Canary could take him out.
* AgeLift: Sin is usually portrayed as a kid.
* AmbiguouslyBi: When Roy tells Thea that Sin needs her help looking "slutty" for a date, Thea declares she'll help Sin get whatever man she's after -- or woman.
* BatterUp: Her weapon of choice during the Glades uprising against Brick.
* BoyishShortHair: Probably contributes a bit to the above.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She disappears after "Seeing Red", with the exception of one appearance in "Uprising".
* DamselInDistress: She helps the Canary because she saved her from some men who were going to hurt her.
* HellbentForLeather: Always seen wearing her black leather jacket.
* IconicSequelCharacter: Does not appear in the series until Season 2.
* LeParkour: She's a match for Roy in that department.
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: She's Sara's very first friend when she returned from the [=LoA=], yet she's not even told by Roy about her death in Season 3.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Everyone calls her Sin.
* ParentalAbandonment: Says that her parents think she's dead or at least wish she was. The truth is likely a bit more complicated, since according to "Time of Death," her mother died of cancer when she was young and her father's plane was shot down over Lian Yu.
* {{Protectorate}}: For Sara Lance. The reason the Canary was there to rescue her in the first place was that while on the island, she promised Sin's dying father that she'd look after his daughter when she got home.
* RaceLift: Sin was Asian in the comics, but she's portrayed as white on the show.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Her actress being cast in a lead role in {{Series/Scream}} led to the character only appearing in one Season 3 episode after being recurring for the prior seasons.
* SheCleansUpNicely: [[ShesGotLegs Wears the hell out]] of Thea's "slutty" short skirt and stilettos when posing as a hooker in one episode, in sharp contrast to her usual {{Tomboy}} appearance.

* {{Tomboy}}: She has a very androgynous look with her BoyishShortHair and gender neutral clothes.

[[folder: Jean Loring]]
!!Jean Loring
->'''Played by:''' Teryl Rothery
Moira's lawyer and close friend.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: She did not pull a FaceHeelTurn like her comics counterpart, who became the Supervillain Eclipso.
* AdaptationalWimp: She did not turn Eclipso, meaning she did not learned how to kick ass.
* AdaptationDyeJob: [[RavenHairIvorySkin Black-haired]] in the comics, blonde in the show.
* AgeLift: In the comics, Jean Loring eventually married Ray Palmer; in the show, she's over 20 years older than him and part of Moira's generation instead.
* DecompositeCharacter: Her role as Ray's LoveInterest was filled by both a PosthumousCharacter named Anna, and later Felicity. ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' reveals that Anna shares her surname, suggesting a familial relationship between the two.
* TheDeterminator: Moira ''will'' be found not guilty, if Jean has anything to say about it.
* GoodLawyersGoodClients: Subverted. Moira is guilty of what she's accused of but Jean believes that she's right to defend Moira on the basis she was under duress. She certainly doesn't want her friend to be sentenced to death.
* HelloAttorney: Not bad-looking for a woman in her 50s.
* InNameOnly: The only thing she shares with her comic counterpart.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Inverted. She has no relation and interaction at all with this show's Ray Palmer, whereas in the comics she's his wife.

----
* BaldOfEvil: Though he doesn't do anything all that evil onscreen, he ''is'' a mobster...
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He provides Oliver with a meeting with the Count, but does not seem terribly enthusiastic about it, implying his disgust at the Count's pointless sadism.
* EyeScream: Shot through the eye with an arrow by Slade.
* FriendInTheBlackMarket: Helps Oliver locate a [[{{Comicbook/Deadshot}} freelance assassin]] and a Vertigo dealer.
* IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten: Has doubts about Oliver's loyalty to the Bratva, so he pulls a couple of these. When Oliver fails one too many times, Alexi severs ties with him.
* KilledOffForReal: By Slade, after Ollie gets him to track down his information.
* LegitimateBusinessmensSocialClub: Runs his branch of the Bratva out of a mechanic's shop.

[[quoteright:299:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/95ef89e7a5ecd6adac99ed3c9b95d5b5.jpg]]
->'''Known Aliases:''' The Atom, "Supersuit", "Franchise/HannibalLecter", "Creator/JohnWayne"
->'''Played by:''' Creator/BrandonRouth
A rival businessman to Queen Consolidated who seizes the opportunity to take it over in season 3.
See also his section in ''Characters.LegendsOfTomorrow''.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: InvokedTrope. He is intending for the ATOM suit to be more combat oriented than it is in the comics (where it is more utility[=/=]infiltration-oriented).
* {{Adorkable}}: Sure, his methods are questionable, but he comes across as being so charmingly awkward that it's hard to resent him for it.
* AmbiguousSituation: Almost reaches AmbiguouslyEvil at first. Ray does some pretty skeevy things (primarily in the way he manipulates Felicity to help him gain control over ''Queen Consolidated'', and uses the company to acquire access to their weapons research and other goodies). ''However'', he does enough good too (he seems to genuinely want to make the city a brighter place to live, regularly gives away expensive items from prototype smart watches to excess energy from the company's operations), making it questionable to anyone who doesn't know who he is on what he's doing. Though we find out in "The Climb" that he's doing this to become a superhero, like the Arrow, to protect the city, thus clearing things up, it still left a lot in the air until then.
* AmicableExes: With Felicity, ultimately.
* AndStarring: Brandon Routh is always billed with the "Special Guest Star" citation.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: When he and Oliver fight, Oliver's arrows can't pierce Ray's armour. However there's a blinking light on the ATOM's hip that may be the power supply and it's not armoured. Oliver was able to shut down the ATOM simply by throwing a flechette at that light and damaging it.
* BadassPreacher: It is revealed in late Season 3 that he's a preacher.
* BerserkButton: He doesn't really get angry, but still takes serious offense at Felicity appropriating the specter of his dead girlfriend to try to convince him to give up his idea of becoming a new vigilante.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Every bit as adorkable and dithery as Felicity is, which certainly helps bring them together. Oliver even jokes about it at one point:
--> '''Oliver:''' There's a decent chance that you and Palmer are related.
** Barry Allen's team's reaction to them together is "Oh my God there's two of them"
* TheCharmer: Imagine [[Comicbook/IronMan Tony Stark]] without the beard and being much less visibly a dick, and you're in the ballpark.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: At the end of "Draw Back Your Bow", he is seen looking over blueprints to his A.T.O.M. Exosuit.
* {{Expy}}: Of both Tony Stark (as noted above) and [[ComicBook/BlueBeetle Ted Kord]]; he actually resembles Comics!Ted more than he resembles Comics!Ray, largely due to the fact that he was originally ''meant'' to be Ted Kord before ExecutiveMeddling forced them to change him to Ray Palmer.
** With his PoweredArmor complete, he resembles even more the CW's version of IronMan.
* FakingTheDead: [[spoiler:After being rescued from his accidental shrinking, he opts to let the world continue thinking he's dead and keep Felicity running his company as he heads off to start a new life (otherwise known as ''Legends of Tomorrow'').]]
* {{Fiction 500}}: He throws around ten-figure expenditures pretty casually.
* FunWithAcronyms: His pet project the Advanced Technology Operating Mechanism.
* GoodAllAlong: His seemingly-amoral actions were done with an end goal of becoming a hero like the Arrow in order to protect and help Starling City.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: He headlines (as part of an EnsembleCast) [[Series/LegendsOfTomorrow his own show]].
* HowDoIShotWeb: There’s quite a learning curve to the ATOM suit, which takes a visit to the Flash’s crew to iron out.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He lambasts Oliver, Laurel, and Ted Grant for being vigilantes after the imposter-murders. But when the law can't help him, he goes straight to being one himself.
* IconicSequelCharacter: Does not appear in the series until Season 3.
* InsistentTerminology: He goes to some lengths to keep his suit's powers from sounding too silly.
-->It doesn't fire lasers, that would be silly! It fires compressed hard light beams.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He might be willing to buy out a company just to impress a girl, but he's also genuinely trying to rebuild Starling City, to the point of donating half of his net worth to the cause. He shows genuine concern for Felicity (who was grieving due to Sara's death), and provides some heartfelt advice without pushing for details.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** The way he gets the information is pretty questionable, but he's absolutely right that Starling City is dying and the company needs to take drastic measures to stay afloat.
** Ollie himself points out that he struggled to run the company ''and'' be the Arrow, and maybe it's better that he was forced to stick to the one he actually good at.
* LaughablyEvil: Or at least Laughably Amoral, but everything about his behavior in his initial episode, while sleazy and riding on a bunch of jerk moves, does come across as a kind of amusing anyway.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Particularly notable as being utterly unlike any other piece of music on the show, sounding more like the theme from a classic '50s adventure serial.
* TheLostLenore: Members of Slade's army killed his girlfriend in front of him, causing him to develop the A.T.O.M. suit as a way to fight criminals himself.
* MotorMouth: Especially when he's had three espressos.
* {{Nanomachines}}: He created his own that could shrink down in size and do wonders. Including healing a massive blood clot in his brain. He later applies this tech to his ATOM suit.
* NoSocialSkills: He clearly has trouble realizing when the things he says and does cause others trouble or offence, which is primarily what causes him to look like such a douchebag.
* NotSoDifferent: As revealed in "the Climb", he, like Oliver, is using his money to build himself up to fight crime, and asks Felicity to help him. Felicity even lampshades this.
* PoweredArmor: Originally codenamed ComicBook/{{OMAC}} by Queen Consolidated, Ray secretly acquires it and renames it to [[ComicBook/TheAtom ATOM so that he can become a vigilante, too.]]
* ScienceHero: Calls himself a man of science.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Since Felicity won't quit her job to come work for him, he spends $1.2 billion buying the holding company that owns her workplace.
* SexyPriest: Considering that he's both a BadassPreacher and {{Mr.Fanservice}}.
* SharpDressedMan: He's usually in a suit.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Stands 6'3 and one of the [[Franchise/{{Arrowverse}} franchise's]] resident MrFanservice.
* UnskilledButStrong: Oliver tells him he relies too heavily on tech. At one point Ray allows Oliver to take control of the suit remotely during a combat situation.
* VigilanteMan: Is planning to be one and late Season 3, he has become one to some effect.

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ted_grant_arrow_8013.jpg]]
->'''Known Aliases:''' Wildcat
->'''Played by:''' J. R. Ramirez
A boxing trainer who owns a gym, where he likes to help people blow off steam. Laurel comes to him in an attempt to deal with the anger she's been facing. It turns out that he was also a vigilante named Wildcat before the Arrow came on the scene.
----
* AgeLift: Ted is usually a BadassGrandpa in the comics (post-Golden Age), while he's played by J.R. Ramirez in the show, who is in his 30's.
* BadassNormal: Able to fight one on one with the Arrow, and does a pretty good job. Plus he was a former professional boxer (and a pretty good one, apparently), as well as a former vigilante.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He hasn't been seen since Season 3.
* TheEmpath: Being a boxer, Ted is able to read that Laurel is holding in some deep trouble.
* FrameUp: He ends up being framed by another vigilante for a series of murders.
* TheMentor: Becomes this to Laurel when she decides to find another way to deal with her emotional troubles.
* MythologyGag: His gym's name is the Wildcat Gym, bearing the name of his superhero codename in the comics. Its also what they used to call him during his boxing career.
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: [[spoiler: Laurel's original mentor (on-screen, at least) and wasn't there on her last moments and is not confirmed to appear on the funeral episode.]]
* PowerFist: Being a boxer, brass knuckles were his weapon of choice when he was a vigilante.
* PutOnABus: Once the uprising against Brick and his criminal league has been dealt with, Grant isn't seen again even after shown he wasn't terribly injured. Even when Laurel gets a new trainer with Nyssa, he isn't even shown again.
* RaceLift: The original Ted Grant is white, here he's played by a Hispanic actor.
* RetiredBadass: Retired from both professional boxing and vigilante crime-fighting. He takes up his mask one more time to face off against Brick.
* SatelliteCharacter: For Laurel, as he was the one training her into becoming a better fighter.
* TwoFirstNames: Per the Creator/DCComics norm.
* VigilanteMan: He used to be one until six years ago. He stopped after his sidekick killed a drug-dealer. He takes up the mantle again during "Uprising".

[[folder: Robert Queen]]
!!Robert Queen
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/robert_queen_arrow_7.jpg]]
->'''Played by:''' Creator/JameySheridan
Husband of Moira and father of Oliver, but not Thea (though he still loved her like his own). He was a well-intentioned member of Malcolm Merlyn's scheme to clean up Star(ling) City, until he learned of Malcolm's plan to level the Glades. Malcolm sabotaged the ''Queen's Gambit'' to prevent him from exposing the conspiracy, which resulted in Robert passing the list onto Oliver before committing suicide.
----
* AccidentalMurder: Why he joined the Undertaking.
* AlphabeticalThemeNaming: He and his wife '''M'''oira were friends with '''M'''alcolm and his wife '''R'''ebecca Merlyn.
* AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome: As revealed in "[[TheFlash2014S2E6EnterZoom Enter Zoom]]", there exists an AlternateSelf on Earth-2 where it is ''he'' that became "The Hood" and not Oliver, who had died instead of Robert.
* TheAtoner: In his last moments, he really seems regretful of his past. Turns out in "The Undertaking" that he's been this way for a long time prior to his death. At some point when he was trying to set up some building in the Glades, the councilman he spoke to tried to blackmail him into bribing him. When he refused and the resulting fight ends with him accidentally killing the councilman, he joined Malcolm's group to clean up the Glades to atone for this, until he finds out what Malcolm is planning.
* CelebrityParadox: An episode of ''Series/TheFlash2014'' mentions the existence of the ''Franchise/LawAndOrder'' franchise. His actor was one of the main characters of ''Series/LawAndOrderCriminalIntent''.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Confessed to being one while they were on the life raft.
* BoomHeadshot: How he killed himself.
* DeathByOriginStory: He does appear a few times in flashbacks, though.
* DrivenToSuicide: Shot himself to ensure that Oliver would survive.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Though he was willing to atone for his manslaughter by blackmailing the city's worst criminals, he drew the line at Malcolm's absolutely insane plan to destroy the Glades with a machine capable of creating a natural disaster.
* EvilParentsWantGoodKids: Robert Queen wanted his son to clean up his mistakes.
* HeroicSacrifice: Robert shot himself and a fellow crew member on the lifeboat to save his son, wanting him to survive.
* HonestCorporateExecutive: He started as one of these; turns out that he was a rather honest and decent businessman until he accidentally killed a corrupt councilman in self-defence. He joined Malcolm's crusade to clean up the Glades by taking control of the corrupt executives, but he refused to go along with destroying the Glades, and from the start his only motive was to help people.
* KnightTemplarParent: To save his son, not only does Robert shoot himself to leave all the survival supplies to Oliver, he also kills the third, innocent shipwreck survivor first. In Robert's defense, he seemed to fear that the man -- a tough-looking sailor -- would kill Oliver over the supplies.
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: Only Oliver was there in his last moments. Justified since they were LostAtSea at the time.
* ParentalSubstitute: After Tommy's mother died and his father disappeared, Robert largely took over the role. Even after Malcolm returned, he was still distant, so Robert still basically treated Tommy as his own.
-->'''Tommy:''' ''My'' dad was never there. ''Your'' dad was the one who took me to baseball games, went to school plays, helped me with birthday parties...
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: His suicide in the pilot flashback, when he tells his son to make up for his mistakes. Also, by the end of the season, we've learned that Malcolm had the yacht sabotaged because Robert was going to betray the Undertaking.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation:
** Subverted. While Thea's comic counterpart Mia was later adopted by Oliver, she is not related to the Queens by blood; however, it was later revealed that Thea is conceived by Moira's infidelity with Malcolm, and that Robert ''knew'' this but loved her like his own anyway.
** Inverted with Connor Hawke, who is not his grandchild in this version.
* YourCheatingHeart: Reportedly. It's confirmed in "The Man Under the Hood".

!!Walter Steele
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/walter_steele_arrow_7615.jpg]]
->'''Played By:''' Colin Salmon
CEO of Queen Industries, Walter was Robert Queen's best friend. He married Moira sometime after Robert's death, but divorces her after Season One due to her lies and role in the Undertaking. He is the current CFO of Star(ling) National Bank.
----
* AllLovingHero: Downplayed. But you'll notice that Walter likes just about everybody, and everybody likes him.
* AmicableExes: Despite the fallout of their marriage, he and Moira patched things up and remain civil with each other.
* AscendedExtra: Appeared in exactly one panel in one issue of any comic book, ever.
* BadassBaritone: He has a very deep voice.
* BadLiar: It's because he's British according to Felicity.
* BaldBlackLeaderGuy: He's the CEO (former CFO) of Queen Industries.
* BeardOfSorrow: He has no time (and tools) to shave when he was captured by Tempest for much of Season 1. He shaved immediately once he's rescued.
* BenevolentBoss: Gets along very well with employees. His kind nature is why Felicity wanted to help find him.
* BigDamnHeroes: Helps Oliver secure a 50% stake in Queen Consolidated, saving it from a corporate takeover by Isabel Rochev.
* CelebrityParadox:
** Ray is apparently a fan of ''Series/DoctorWho'', a show which his actor has appeared in.
** Ray also acknowledges the existence of the ''Film/JamesBond'' film series in this universe. Colin Salmon was a prominent supporting cast during Creator/PierceBrosnan's tenure as the title character.
** An episode of ''Series/TheFlash2014'' mentions the existence of the ''Franchise/LawAndOrder'' franchise. Colin Salmon was a RecurringCharacter in ''Series/LawAndOrderUK''.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He abruptly departs the series without warning.
* CommutingOnABus:
** He leaves on a "business trip" in "Damaged" where he's actually investigating Moira's lies, but he returns in "Muse of Fire". Then he gets kidnapped in "Year's End". He's rescued in "The Undertaking", but leaves again at the end of the following episode after telling Moira that he's filed for divorce.
** He returns in Season Two as an angel investor in Queen Consolidated, then shows up again in the middle of the season to try to convince Moira to run for Mayor, and pops up once more to comfort Thea at Moira's funeral.
** He hasn't been since Season 2, after Moira's funeral, but he still lives in Star City, where he was asked by the Star City council to run for mayor. He declined.
* DistressedDude: He's kidnapped by Malcolm and spends six months as a captive until he's rescued by the Hood.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Subverted. Is used as a mid-episode cliffhanger, but the source was lying.
* HappilyMarried: Until "Darkness At the Edge of Town".
* HonestCorporateExecutive: He's definitely one of these -- see
* HonorBeforeReason: Walter's stated reason for investigating further into Robert Queen's murder despite being told that doing so was dangerous? Because Robert was his friend and he's the type of guy to avenge his best friend's murder.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Felicity Smoak. This may be a MythologyGag since Felicity is originally the stepmother of the DC hero [[ComicBook/{{Firestorm}} Ronnie Raymond]] (though not here in the show).
* LargeAndInCharge: He stands 6'4 1/2 and serves as the CFO of Star City national Bank, and was previously Queen Consolidated's CEO.
* LikeASonToMe: Treats Thea as if she were his own daughter. And while things are initially frosty between them, it's clear that he views Oliver as if he were his own son, and actually calls him "son" in "The Undertaking". He reiterates this in "City of Heroes" when he states that regardless of the situation between himself and their mother, if Oliver and Thea need anything, they can call him.
* NiceGuy: Friendly and personable to more or less everyone.
* NiceToTheWaiter: Being this to Felicity is explicitly the reason she tries to discover his fate. Also, when his head of security gets killed under suspicious circumstances, he's reluctant to have any other staff continue that investigation.
* NonActionGuy: Walter doesn't get involved in fights.
* NonIdleRich: Though a NonActionGuy, because he's an HonestCorporateExecutive, he tends to do his due diligence. When he suspects potential embezzling within his company, he personally investigates despite the fact that he has an entire department also investigating.
* RaceLift: He's Caucasian (and American) in the comics.
* RedHerring: Savvy viewers expect him to be the bad guy. Oliver comes home and finds Walter married to his mother. In just a few episodes, we learn that nope, Walter's a genuinely good guy who loves Moira and Thea, is a caring and dedicated CEO, and wants nothing but the best for his adopted family and the employees. The reason people think he's evil in the beginning is mostly because a) [[EvilBrit he's British]] and b) he's a bit uptight. Regardless, he's an honorable gentleman through and through.
* RefusedTheCall: He rejects the offers to run for Star City's mayoral position at the start of Season 4.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: He becomes the stepfather of both Oliver and Thea (Mia Dearden, herself being heavily associated with this trope) due to his marriage to Moira. In the comics, he's just a minor character unrelated to both characters.
* RomancingTheWidow: Or rather romanced the widow.
* SecretKeeper: One of two people who knew that Thea is actually Malcolm Merlyn's daughter prior to the Undertaking. Notably, Walter is the only one Moira ''chose'' to tell, with the other person being her doctor after complications with the birth.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: He stands 6'4 1/2 and is definitely a good-looking man.

->'''Known Aliases:''' The Canary, Ta-er al-Sahfer (الطائر الأصفر), White Canary
->'''Played By:''' Jacqueline [=MacInnes=] Wood (Pilot only)/Creator/CaityLotz
Laurel's younger sister. Sara was thought to have died on the ''Queen's Gambit'' when it sunk, she was actually rescued by the crew of the ''Amazo'', where she became a reluctant participant in Dr. Anthony Ivo's experiments. She was later found and recruited by the League of Assassins, which she later left. In Season Two, Sara returns to Star(ling) City, becomes a vigilante known as the Canary, and reunites with Oliver and her family.
Sara is killed in Season 3, but is resurrected in Season 4 by the Lazarus Pit, and later takes up the name White Canary. See also her section in ''Characters.LegendsOfTomorrow'',
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Her canary costume is zipped down in the chest area.
* ActionGirl: She makes her reappearance in Season Two by [[BigDamnHeroes showing up out of nowhere and demolishing four thugs to save Roy]].
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: If her relationship with Oliver is any indication. Judging by her past with Nyssa, this extends to bad girls as well.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: After her death, Laurel really had a lot to live up to when she starts donning her sister's mask.
* AndStarring: She's finally given a "Special Guest Star" citation starting Season 4.
* AnimalMotif: She loved canaries long before she joined the [=LoA=].
* AntiHero: Sara, although fighting for the side of good and having heroic intentions, can be very merciless, having killed the Dollmaker and nearly killing Helen for endangering Laurel. She was also willing to permanently put down Roy when the Mirakuru made him dangerous.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: In the past, her relationship with Laurel doesn't ever have seemed to be particularly good. When she's revealed to be alive, an [[TheAlcoholic alcoholic]] Laurel completely rejects her. However, they do become closer after Laurel starts going to AA meetings, and she discovers Sara's vigilante identity.
* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: Ta-er al-Sahfer doesn't really translate to "canary", it actually translates to "yellow bird". The actual Arabic word for "canary" is a loanword that is pronounced exactly like "canary".
* BackForTheDead: She was PutOnABus at the end of Season 2, suddenly comes back out of the blue near the end of the season 3 premiere, then gets unceremoniously killed in the same scene to push Laurel's story and CharacterDevelopment.
* BackFromTheDead: Twice. She survived the sinking of the ''Queen's Gambit'', much to Oliver's surprise. Then she survived the collapse and sinking of the ''Amazo'' freighter after being saved by Nyssa al Ghul. Make that thrice as of [[spoiler:Season 4 "Restoration", after she's KilledOffForReal in Season 3 but is resurrected by the Lazarus Pit in Nanda Parbat. The girl has a habit of dying and coming back.]]
* BadassBisexual: Bisexual and a deadly fighter.
* BattleCouple: When she and Oliver fight together. Also implied to have been one with Nyssa Al-Ghul during her time with the League of Assassins, confirmed in "Unthinkable".
* BigDamnHeroes: Shows up out of nowhere and saves Roy at the end of "City of Heroes", then does it again twice in "Broken Dolls", once to save Arrow from the cops and later to stop a fleeing Barton Mathis.
* [[BigLittleBrother Big Little Sister]]: Her original actress, Jacqueline [=MacInnes=] Wood, is taller (5'8) than Laurel's actress, Katie Cassidy (5'6 1/2). No longer the case after Caity Lotz (5'6) takes over.
* BigOlEyebrows: Both Jacqueline [=MacInnes=] Wood and Caity Lotz have thick eyebrows (the former more so).
* BikerBabe: She's frequently seen riding motorcycles.
* BiTheWay: Confirmed by her relationship with Nyssa Al-Ghul. The creators stressed they didn't want to add labels by calling her bisexual (or, by extension, a lesbian) since they don't seem to see it as truly different from any heterosexual pairing.
* BoobsOfSteel: She's a well trained fighter ''and'' a well-endowed one.
* BreakoutCharacter: She's originally supposed to be just a PlotDevice for her older sister's journey to become Black Canary (and was even slated to become the villain Ravager until Summer Glau's unhappiness with her small role caused it to be shifted to her), but she quickly became a fan-favorite character upon her introduction. After she gets killed in the Season 3 premiere, '''a lot''' of fans were upset. The showrunners eventually saw how beloved of a character she is and finds a way to literally bring her BackFromTheDead and is now slated to be one of the main characters [[Series/LegendsOfTomorrow a new spin-off series]].
* BreakTheCutie: Flashbacks show how much of a carefree party girl Sara was before the ''Queen's Gambit''. A lot of horrible things happened to her to turn her into the ruthless assassin she is in the present.
* BrokenBird: After nearly dying on Lian Yu and having to join the League of Assassins to survive, she went from a carefree party girl to becoming quiet, reserved, and haunted, seeing herself as a murderer who is no hero.
* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:After Constantine restores her soul, she takes all of one episode to decide she needs to leave town until she can control her Lazarus Pit-induced violence, conveniently setting her up for her role in ''Legends of Tomorrow''.]]
* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:After being revived by the Lazarus Pit, her body is restored, but her soul is not: she showed no remnants of her former self and is now irrational, aggressive, and totally feral. No longer the case after being RescuedFromTheUnderworld (see below).]]
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: [[ComicBook/BlackCanary Laurel's counterpart and namesake]] doesn't have a sister in the comics. She's later revealed to be a DecompositeCharacter after she shows up as The Canary. She's then also confirmed as the Franchise/{{Arrowverse}}'s White Canary ([[AdaptationalHeroism who is a villain in the comics]]).
* ChekhovMIA: Presumed dead even before Season 1, she returns as an integral member of team Arrow in Season 2.
* ClarkKenting: Her disguise is a large DominoMask and a wig that's a lighter blonde to he natural hair color. This is enough for her own sister not to recognise her, apparently.
* CompositeCharacter: Despite mainly being DecompositeCharacter of the Dinah Drake Lance Black Canary, she also has shades of the Dinah Laurel Lance version as well. For the Dinah Drake Lance version, she got her role as Laurel's predecessor and the one who doesn't possess the actual Canary Cry. For the Dinah Laurel Lance version, she got her role as being in a BattleCouple with Oliver, her bisexuality and being a parental figure to Sin. In the upcoming ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'', she'll don the identity of White Canary, yet another different character in the comics.
* ContinuitySnarl: Both her hair color and name spelling were different in the pilot due to the recasting of her actress. [[note]] Jacqueline [=MacInnes=] Wood's raven-haired Sara'''h''' vs. Caity Lotz's blonde-haired Sara. [[/note]] What really emphasized the "Snarl" is her original height and hair-color were important plot points late in Season 1, when her family thought they found her, but instead found an IdenticalStranger having ''both'' those attributes. This has not been addressed ever by both the show and WordOfGod to this day.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Uses a voice-changer like Oliver that gives her this voice.
* CoveredInScars: She has visible scars in her back. A doctor even compared her to a war veteran because of said injuries.
* DanceBattler: Her (second) actress practices Tricking, training discipline that combines martial arts kicks with flips and twists from gymnastics as well as many dance moves and styles from breakdancing, and it shows in some of her fight scenes.
* DatingCatwoman: She used to date Nyssa Al-Ghul, and they still care for each other.
* DeathByOriginStory: Played with. She "died" in the pilot. Later, there was evidence to suggest she was alive, but it was refuted. However, she's now back alive and well, kicking ass and taking names in Starling City. For Oliver, she had ''two'' deaths, because he saw her "die" again on the island.
** And a third time. As her real death is Laurel's Black Canary origin story. Later though in ''Legends of Tomorrow'' its shown she is still alive.
* DeathBySex: Subverted. She appeared to have died after sleeping with her sister's boyfriend, but she later turned up alive.
* DecompositeCharacter: At first, she seems to share the role of ComicBook/BlackCanary with her sister, Laurel. However, given the creators have mentioned their desire for this to be a LegacyCharacter-type thing, she's actually a DecompositeCharacter of Dinah ''Drake'', her and Laurel's mother and the comics' first Black Canary. She does have Comic!Laurel's bisexuality though.
* DominoMask: Wears one in her guise as the first incarnation of [[ComicBook/BlackCanary the Canary]]. It's still larger and more concealing than Helena's mask or Oliver's face paint.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: She gets killed by Thea at the end of the Season 3 premiere.
* DyingToBeReplaced: A ''very'' odd variation. She shows up in costume before Laurel is even started on a proper heroic journey, seemingly replacing her in her iconic role as Black Canary. Her story arc introduces major fan-favorites like the League of Assassins and has a definite RedemptionQuest angle. However, since Laurel is the female lead, with the planned out fate of becoming Black Canary herself, Sara became an awkward character for the show. You can see the results above...
* FakeGuestStar: Caity Lotz has been in 22 out of 23 episodes of the second season, which is more than some of the actual regular cast, and so far has been integral to the season's plot, but wasn't promoted to series regular. Her being a guest star in seasons three and four makes sense though, as in the former she dies in the first episode and makes only a few posthumous appearances, while in the latter she's resurrected in a brief recurring stint that sets up her role in ''Legends of Tomorrow''.
* ForceAndFinesse: Her and Laurel's fighting styles can be described this way. Sara prefers to fight more gracefully (Finesse) while Laurel has a more smash-mouth style of fighting (Force).
* ForgottenFallenFriend: After "The Climb," Ollie seems to have swept her death under the rug and the mastermind behind her murder successfully manipulated Oliver into protecting him. The only people who still actively try to find justice for her are her sister, Nyssa, Thea (who ironically was the one used to unknowingly and unwillingly to kill her) and her father.
* FormerTeenRebel: Back in Season 1, Laurel and Quentin discussed how troublesome she was during her youth.
* GirlinessUpgrade: Inverted. Her outfits prior to the yacht accident were more feminine. Once she returns, she basically becomes an older version of a {{Shorttank}}.
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Prior to the start of the series, she fell into the Beautiful Sister category, a rare younger sister variety. Still, both she and Laurel had some crossover.
* GoodBadGirl: She sleeps with her sister's boyfriend. She later tells Oliver on the island that Laurel got her grounded, knowing she had a crush on Oliver, and went after him herself; and it's later revealed in another flashback that Sara was having doubts about betraying Laurel, and a fight between the two (ironically, because Sara was trying to warn Laurel that planning her future around a guy who's known for being a casanova wasn't a good idea, stemming from Ollie's texts pleading with Sara to come with him) is what ultimately pushed Sara into going through with it. This heavily implies an element of revenge in her sleeping with Oliver on the yacht.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Inverted when she fights with Oliver. Though they are proficient with each other's weapons, she prefers the Bo Staff while Oliver prefers the bow.
* HairColorDissonance: She has [[RavenHairIvorySkin raven hair]] in the pilot flashback, but Season 2 onwards [[TheOtherDarrin recast her]] as a blonde and stick with it. What's really jarring is her original raven-hair was a plot point late in Season 1 when her family believed that she may be alive only for them to find an IdenticalStranger (who ''has'' raven hair). This has never been addressed on the show or by WordOfGod ever since.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Consistently calls herself a killer, and not a hero, due to her past as a killer and her comfortableness with taking a life, ending up leaving Starling City briefly from "Seeing Red" until her reappearance in "Streets of Fire" as a result. She realizes that maybe she's more than that after hearing the praise the Canary got from a police officer who saw her do a HeroicFireRescue in the latter episode.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: She headlines (as part of an EnsembleCast) [[Series/LegendsOfTomorrow her own show]].
* ItsAllAboutMe: Somewhat. After Laurel viciously rejects her, Oliver suggests giving her time to come around, but Sara sadly says that she gave her "six years" already. However, unlike Oliver, Sara had some opportunity to contact her family and didn't, leaving the complaint holding significantly less weight.
** She ''did'' spend a good amount of time with the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast League of Assassins]] during that time. Because of this, it's arguable that she had less of an opportunity to contact her family than Oliver did, since it would be easier to get away from Amanda Waller than it would be to get away from Ra's al Ghul.
* ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: She tells her father this is why she can't come home to stay. Justified in that she ''is'' being chased by the League of Assassins, and they ''do'' actively go after her family to draw her out. No longer the case after "Heir to the Demon", however.
* LadyOfWar: She moves gracefully in battle, employing [[DanceBattler gymnastic flips and dance-like movements]], and uses a bo staff with speed and deadly efficiency.
* LeParkour: One of her many skills learned from the [=LoA=].
* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: A running thread through Season Two is that while Oliver is holding valiantly to his ThouShaltNotKill policy, Sara has shown to be more than willing to kill if she feels it's necessary, with the same conversation coming up regarding Helena and Roy.
* MoralityPet: To Nyssa Al-Ghul.
* MsFanservice:
** In her first appearance, she's dressed in lingerie and an open robe. Her outfit as the Canary also qualifies -- aside from the tight black leather, she shows off a lot of cleavage.
** She also spends time on the salmon ladder, and there are a good number of shots of her wearing only a bra, somewhat similar to Ollie's tendency to spend a lot of time shirtless, though hers are less frequent.
* NeverFoundTheBody: Being swept away by a violent ocean storm will do that. Twice even.
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: [[spoiler: She wasn't with Laurel during the her final hours. She finally finds out during ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''[='=]s first SeasonFinale.]]
* OfCorsetsSexy: What's under the leather jacket of her Canary costume.
* PeekABangs: Has some in Season Two, as part of the blonde wig she wears on top of her already blonde hair. Actually does a nice job of giving her some additional concealment similar to Oliver's hood.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: Her death is what basically kickstarted the entire Season 3.
* PosthumousCharacter: Subverted in Season Two. Double Subverted in Season 3 when she's KilledOffForReal, until she she was resurrected in Season 4.
* ProfessionalKiller: An erstwhile member of the League of Assassins, she proves to still be highly adept at the "killer" part, though she's ''not'' happy about it.
* ThePromise: She made a promise to a dying pilot that she'd look after his daughter -- none other than Sin.
* PutOnABus: Twice in "Unthinkable" - Sara leaves with the League of Assassins as in exchange for their assistance in stopping Slade's army in the present; whilst at the same time the flashbacks reveal that Sara was dragged into the ocean during the destruction of the Amazo, explaining why Oliver believed she was dead throughout the first season.
* RaceLift: Dons the White Canary identity, who is Asian in the comics (though see CompositeCharacter above), in ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Since she dons the White Canary identity in ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'', this made the character related to the Lance/Black Canary family by default. In the comics, the White Canary is an unrelated character who is a self-appointed ArchEnemy of Black Canary (the Dinah Laurel Lance version).
* TheRedBaron:
** Among the League of Assassins she was known as: Ta-er al-Sahfer (الطائر الأصفر)- "The Canary" [[note]]Literally this translates into "yellow bird", there is no Arabic word for canary[[/note]].
** This also overlaps with YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre. As Laurel points out "If you were so horrible, why would they give you such a beautiful name?"
* RescuedFromTheUnderworld: [[spoiler:Oliver and Laurel, with the help of John Constantine, bust into TheUnderworld and retrieve Sara's soul to return it to her body]].
* RescueRomance: Played with. Nyssa claims that she found Sara, saved her life, and then slowly nursed her back to health. Sarah however insists she wasn't with Nyssa because of that, but because she loved her.
* SacrificialLion: In the final moments of the Season 3 premiere, Sara is killed off. Right after speaking to her sister and saving Oliver from Werner Zytle, the new Count Vertigo, she is shot with three arrows and her body falls off a roof and lands near Laurel, killing her on impact as Laurel screams out in horror.
* SimpleStaff: Sara uses a bo staff that can disconnect to form batons as her primary weapon. She also twice uses an improvised staff, firstly taking the wooden door frame and later a metal pipe, to fight someone who'd attacked her and Oliver when they were out of costume.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The ContinuitySnarl above caused this, with her name being Sara'''h''' in the pilot. Once she's recast, the "h" gets dropped.
* StockholmSyndrome: Had a ''bad'' case of this thanks to Ivo, who callously manipulated her on the island. She grows out of it when she realizes how horrible he really is even to her.
* StrangerInAFamiliarLand: Both of her returns to her home city were met with her own cynical view of herself, stating that she's no longer the Sara who returned (first from The League of Assassins, the second [[spoiler: [[BackFromTheDead from death]]]]).
* TelescopingStaff: Her WeaponOfChoice. It can also [[BifurcatedWeapon separate into a pair of Eskrima sticks]].
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: After supposedly dying twice and really killed once [[note]] maybe twice too, assuming that she's still in Central City when Vandal Savage destroyed it before Barry's TimeTravel negated it [[/note]] but brought back with the Lazarus Pit, it might become a little hard to take any threat to her life seriously.
* TookALevelInBadass: When she joined the League of Assassins.
* TwoFirstNames: Per the Creator/DCComics norm.
* VigilanteMan: What she becomes in Season Two. She seems as rough as Oliver was in the beginning -- she kills a pinned-down SerialKiller (to be fair, he did go after her sister and father), and her targets of choice, as opposed to early Oliver's white-collar criminals, appear to be those who abuse women. However, time with Oliver makes her calm on this.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's nigh-impossible to talk about her, or the plot of the second season, without revealing that she's alive and a fellow vigilante.
* WomanInBlack: As The Canary. Her civilian outfits also tend to be dark.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Her primary character arc this season is her learning that she's not just the cold-hearted monster she thinks she is, resulting in her getting told this by people. It takes a while for her to start believing them.
* YourCheatingHeart: Sara was sleeping with her sister Laurel's boyfriend, Oliver. They hook up again in the middle of Season Two, though by then, Oliver and Laurel are firmly not together, and after some trouble, [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments she gives them both her blessing and encouragement]].

* DeadpanSnarker: Particularly when it comes to Oliver.
* DemotedToExtra: To ludicrous extremes, despite being Diggle's LoveInterest in season 1 she has dissapeard from the show entirely from 2 onwards. The only thing that stops her from [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome becoming chucked]] is that Diggle still mentions her and Andy Jr in passing. [[spoiler: This is especially baffling when you consider that her husband Andy is revealed to be alive and well in season 4 and yet the two never even see each other.]]
* LoveInterest: For Diggle in season 1 although this is {{subverted}} come season 2 onwards after the two of them [[OffscreenBreakup breakup]] and Lyla comes back into the picture.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Everyone calls her Sin.
* ParentalAbandonment: Says that her parents think she's dead or at least wish she was. The truth is likely a bit more complicated, since according to "Time of Death," her mother died of cancer when she was young and her father's plane was shot down over Lian Yu.
* {{Protectorate}}: For Sara Lance. The reason the Canary was there to rescue her in the first place was that while on the island, she promised Sin's dying father that she'd look after his daughter when she got home.
* RaceLift: Sin was Asian in the comics, but she's portrayed as white on the show.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Her actress being cast in a lead role in {{Series/Scream}} led to the character only appearing in one Season 3 episode after being recurring for the prior seasons.

''However'', he does enough good too (he seems to genuinely want to make the city a brighter place to live, regularly gives away expensive items from prototype smart watches to excess energy from the company's operations), making it questionable to anyone who doesn't know who he is on what he's doing. Though we find out in "The Climb" that he's doing this to become a superhero, like the Arrow, to protect the city, thus clearing things up, it still left a lot in the air until then.
* AmicableExes: With Felicity, ultimately.
* AndStarring: Brandon Routh is always billed with the "Special Guest Star" citation.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: When he and Oliver fight, Oliver's arrows can't pierce Ray's armour. However there's a blinking light on the ATOM's hip that may be the power supply and it's not armoured. Oliver was able to shut down the ATOM simply by throwing a flechette at that light and damaging it.
* BadassPreacher: It is revealed in late Season 3 that he's a preacher.
* BerserkButton: He doesn't really get angry, but still takes serious offense at Felicity appropriating the specter of his dead girlfriend to try to convince him to give up his idea of becoming a new vigilante.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Every bit as adorkable and dithery as Felicity is, which certainly helps bring them together. Oliver even jokes about it at one point:
--> '''Oliver:''' There's a decent chance that you and Palmer are related.
** Barry Allen's team's reaction to them together is "Oh my God there's two of them"
* TheCharmer: Imagine [[Comicbook/IronMan Tony Stark]] without the beard and being much less visibly a dick, and you're in the ballpark.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: At the end of "Draw Back Your Bow", he is seen looking over blueprints to his A.T.O.M. Exosuit.
* {{Expy}}: Of both Tony Stark (as noted above) and [[ComicBook/BlueBeetle Ted Kord]]; he actually resembles Comics!Ted more than he resembles Comics!Ray, largely due to the fact that he was originally ''meant'' to be Ted Kord before ExecutiveMeddling forced them to change him to Ray Palmer.
** With his PoweredArmor complete, he resembles even more the CW's version of IronMan.
* FakingTheDead: [[spoiler:After being rescued from his accidental shrinking, he opts to let the world continue thinking he's dead and keep Felicity running his company as he heads off to start a new life (otherwise known as ''Legends of Tomorrow'').]]
* {{Fiction 500}}: He throws around ten-figure expenditures pretty casually.
* FunWithAcronyms: His pet project the Advanced Technology Operating Mechanism.
* GoodAllAlong: His seemingly-amoral actions were done with an end goal of becoming a hero like the Arrow in order to protect and help Starling City.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: He headlines (as part of an EnsembleCast) [[Series/LegendsOfTomorrow his own show]].
* HowDoIShotWeb: There’s quite a learning curve to the ATOM suit, which takes a visit to the Flash’s crew to iron out.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He lambasts Oliver, Laurel, and Ted Grant for being vigilantes after the imposter-murders. But when the law can't help him, he goes straight to being one himself.
* IconicSequelCharacter: Does not appear in the series until Season 3.
* InsistentTerminology: He goes to some lengths to keep his suit's powers from sounding too silly.
-->It doesn't fire lasers, that would be silly! It fires compressed hard light beams.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He might be willing to buy out a company just to impress a girl, but he's also genuinely trying to rebuild Starling City, to the point of donating half of his net worth to the cause. He shows genuine concern for Felicity (who was grieving due to Sara's death), and provides some heartfelt advice without pushing for details.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** The way he gets the information is pretty questionable, but he's absolutely right that Starling City is dying and the company needs to take drastic measures to stay afloat.
** Ollie himself points out that he struggled to run the company ''and'' be the Arrow, and maybe it's better that he was forced to stick to the one he actually good at.
* LaughablyEvil: Or at least Laughably Amoral, but everything about his behavior in his initial episode, while sleazy and riding on a bunch of jerk moves, does come across as a kind of amusing anyway.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Particularly notable as being utterly unlike any other piece of music on the show, sounding more like the theme from a classic '50s adventure serial.
* TheLostLenore: Members of Slade's army killed his girlfriend in front of him, causing him to develop the A.T.O.M. suit as a way to fight criminals himself.
* MotorMouth: Especially when he's had three espressos.
* {{Nanomachines}}: He created his own that could shrink down in size and do wonders. Including healing a massive blood clot in his brain. He later applies this tech to his ATOM suit.
* NoSocialSkills: He clearly has trouble realizing when the things he says and does cause others trouble or offence, which is primarily what causes him to look like such a douchebag.
* NotSoDifferent: As revealed in "the Climb", he, like Oliver, is using his money to build himself up to fight crime, and asks Felicity to help him. Felicity even lampshades this.
* PoweredArmor: Originally codenamed ComicBook/{{OMAC}} by Queen Consolidated, Ray secretly acquires it and renames it to [[ComicBook/TheAtom ATOM so that he can become a vigilante, too.]]
* ScienceHero: Calls himself a man of science.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Since Felicity won't quit her job to come work for him, he spends $1.2 billion buying the holding company that owns her workplace.
* SexyPriest: Considering that he's both a BadassPreacher and {{Mr.Fanservice}}.
* SharpDressedMan: He's usually in a suit.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Stands 6'3 and one of the [[Franchise/{{Arrowverse}} franchise's]] resident MrFanservice.
* UnskilledButStrong: Oliver tells him he relies too heavily on tech. At one point Ray allows Oliver to take control of the suit remotely during a combat situation.
* VigilanteMan: Is planning to be one and late Season 3, he has become one to some effect.

!!Ted Grant
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ted_grant_arrow_8013.jpg]]
->'''Known Aliases:''' Wildcat
->'''Played by:''' J. R. Ramirez
A boxing trainer who owns a gym, where he likes to help people blow off steam. Laurel comes to him in an attempt to deal with the anger she's been facing. It turns out that he was also a vigilante named Wildcat before the Arrow came on the scene.
----
* AgeLift: Ted is usually a BadassGrandpa in the comics (post-Golden Age), while he's played by J.R. Ramirez in the show, who is in his 30's.
* BadassNormal: Able to fight one on one with the Arrow, and does a pretty good job. Plus he was a former professional boxer (and a pretty good one, apparently), as well as a former vigilante.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He hasn't been seen since Season 3.
* TheEmpath: Being a boxer, Ted is able to read that Laurel is holding in some deep trouble.
* FrameUp: He ends up being framed by another vigilante for a series of murders.
* TheMentor: Becomes this to Laurel when she decides to find another way to deal with her emotional troubles.
* MythologyGag: His gym's name is the Wildcat Gym, bearing the name of his superhero codename in the comics. Its also what they used to call him during his boxing career.
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: [[spoiler: Laurel's original mentor (on-screen, at least) and wasn't there on her last moments and is not confirmed to appear on the funeral episode.]]
* PowerFist: Being a boxer, brass knuckles were his weapon of choice when he was a vigilante.
* PutOnABus: Once the uprising against Brick and his criminal league has been dealt with, Grant isn't seen again even after shown he wasn't terribly injured. Even when Laurel gets a new trainer with Nyssa, he isn't even shown again.
* RaceLift: The original Ted Grant is white, here he's played by a Hispanic actor.
* RetiredBadass: Retired from both professional boxing and vigilante crime-fighting. He takes up his mask one more time to face off against Brick.
* SatelliteCharacter: For Laurel, as he was the one training her into becoming a better fighter.
* TwoFirstNames: Per the Creator/DCComics norm.
* VigilanteMan: He used to be one until six years ago. He stopped after his sidekick killed a drug-dealer. He takes up the mantle again during "Uprising".

* RaceLift: Sandra Hawke, her counterpart in the comics, is part Korean-American, part African-American. She's Caucasian in the show.
* RedHerring: She's heavily implied to be Sandra Hawke, the mother of Oliver's son, Connor, which in the comics will eventually be the second ComicBook/GreenArrow. However ''[[Recap/ArrowS4E8LegendsOfYesterday Legends of Yesterday]]'' reveals that not to be the case, and per ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'', the Franchise/{{Arrowverse}} version of Connor Hawke is not Oliver's son, but [[spoiler:Diggle's]].
* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler: Oliver reveals to her that he's the Green Arrow. She apparently knows that Barry is The Flash, as well.]]
* ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: She never cashed the check Moira gave her, and the mere fact that she offered it was reason enough to sever all ties with the Queens.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: It's implied that there's more to Moira paying her to leave Starling to go to Central. She eventually clarifies that the main reason she stayed away was her desire to keep her son away from the Queens and their toxic influence. [[spoiler: After rescuing William from Dahrk, Oliver has them move to another city so they can be safe from H.I.V.E.'s clutches.]]

* RaceLift: Sin was Asian in the comics, but she's portrayed as white on the show.
