History Characters / ArrowverseSaraLance

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The ContinuitySnarl above caused this, with her name being Sara'''h''' in [[Recap/ArrowS1E1Pilot the pilot]]. Once she's recast, the "h" gets dropped.

* ArcSymbol: Ever since the yacht incident, water has consistently been an important factor in her life. She was nearly drowned twice (said incident included), and was saved both times by people who will eventually teach her to become tougher and stronger. When she was really killed, she was resurrected by the Lazarus Pit.

* BadassFamily: She and her sister are {{Action Girl}}s while their dad is DaChief.
* BadassLongcoat: Her White Canary costume include a trenchcoat, though she rarely wears it. She also fights while being PrettyInMink during the early episodes.

* BadassesWearBandanas: She wears a black bandanna during the black market operation in the second episode.

* BattleCouple: When she and Oliver fight together. Also was one with Nyssa Al-Ghul during her time with the League of Assassins, as confirmed in "[[Recap/ArrowS2E23Unthinkable Unthinkable]]". Then with Ava Sharpe after the two become an item.

** She does it again twice in "[[Recap/ArrowS2E3BrokenDolls Broken Dolls]]", once to save Arrow from the cops and later to stop a fleeing Barton Mathis.

* BreakoutCharacter: She was 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 got killed in the ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' season three premiere, '''a lot''' of fans were upset. The showrunners eventually saw how beloved of a character she was and found a way to literally bring her BackFromTheDead, and she is now one of the main characters of her own show. By season 2 onward, Sara becomes TheCaptain of the Waverider and arguably the closest thing ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' has to a main character. Some even think that her importance in the Arrowverse is on the same level as that of Oliver, Barry and Kara, which comes full circle by ''Series/{{Crisis on Infinite Earths|2019}}'', where she's one of the 8 main characters of the story alongside the aforementioned trio, Kate Kane, J'onn J'onzz, Ryan Choi, and Lex Luthor.

* 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.

* ClarkKenting: Her disguise as the Canary is a large black DominoMask and a wig that's a lighter blonde than her natural hair color. This is enough for her own sister not to recognize her, apparently.

* CoveredInScars: She has visible scars on her back (at least until she goes into the Lazarus Pit). A doctor even compared her to a war veteran because of said injuries.

* 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.

* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Gains a HealingFactor post-S6.

* FormerTeenRebel: Back in season one of ''Series/{{Arrow}}'', Laurel and Quentin discussed how troublesome she was during her youth, such as being arrested once for shoplifting.

* CloningBlues: [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] Having died and come back to life ''several'' times, she took being brought back in an alien hybrid cloned body practically in her stride.

* BoobsOfSteel: A busty fighter who is highly competent in hand-to-hand and several weapons.

* FormerTeenRebel: Back in season one of ''Series/{{Arrow}}'', Laurel and Quentin discussed how troublesome she was during her youth, even being arrested once for shoplifting.

* SecondLove: Her first love is Oliver Queen, whom would go on to marry Felicity Smoak, while she would go on to have her first serious relationship with Ava Sharpe.

* PeekABangs: Has some in season two of ''Series/{{Arrow}}'', 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.

* HomosexualReproduction: In Season 6 of ''Legends of Tomorrow'', she is killed and resurrected as a clone by Bishop. However, Bishop splices some extraterrestrial DNA into her new body, among many changes to her physiology, one of being absorbing DNA upon contact. This is how Sara ends up [[HasTwoMommies becoming pregnant with Ava's child]].

* ContraltoOfDanger: Her voice is notably deeper than most of the female cast at times, doubly so as the Canary, where she uses a voice-changer like Oliver that gives her an even deeper one.

* BadassInCharge: Becomes leader of the Legends in Season Two.

* ForgottenFallenFriend: Zigzagged and acknowledged InUniverse. After "[[Recap/ArrowS3E9TheClimb The Climb]]", Sara's death was essentially forced to be swept under the rug due in ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' due to the mastermind behind her murder successfully manipulating 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 kill Sara) and her father. That said, Oliver explicitly states in the season finale that he'll never forgive what happened to her.

* DeathBySex: Triple Subversion. She appeared to have died after sleeping with her sister's boyfriend, but she later turned up alive. And then she dies for real in the Season 3 premiere, only to get resurrected.

* BifurcatedWeapon: Her [[WeaponOfChoice weapons of choice]] are two {{Telescoping Staff}}s that she can detach if she wants to go DualWielding.

* TelescopingStaff: Her WeaponOfChoice. It can also [[BifurcatedWeapon separate into a pair of Eskrima sticks]].

* AdaptationalModesty: The White Canary costume is far more conservative than Sara's previous one, which had a prominent cleavage. Interestingly, the White Canary costume [[SleevesAreForWimps of the show]] is actually an inversion [[ShesGotLegs of the one from the comics]]. It's later averted.

* KnightTemplarBigBrother: In the "Invasion!" crossover, she briefly expresses this sentiment in the illusion world when Oliver misses his and Laurel's rehearsal dinner and tries to talk to Laurel while Sara is helping her with her wedding dress.

* CryCute: After she finally learns of her sister's death.

* MartialArtsStaff: 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.
