1* CreatorsPest: Disturbingly, Lian Harper was apparently one for DC editorial in the late 2000s. Specifically, she was yet another of Dan Didio's (already infamous for his hatred of legacy characters like Wally West and Dick Grayson) which is why she was brutally killed off in ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueCryForJustice''. The mission statement at the time was DC believed Lian needed to die so they could do "interesting" stories with Roy. The shared fandom and critical disgust towards ''Rise of Arsenal'', Eric Wallace's ''[[ComicBook/{{Titans2010}} Titans]]'', and Scott Lobdell's ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'' showed readers very much disagreed with DC about this mindset.
2* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
3** DC editorial initially wanted James Robinson to kill off both Lian Harper and Mia Dearden in ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueCryForJustice'' as part of their extreme overhaul of the Arrow Family following the critical failure of Ollie and Dinah's marriage storyline. Robinson fought to have Mia spared, which accidentally made her indirectly responsible for Lian dying and led to her role in the [=DCU=] being reduced to cameo appearances before the New 52 erased her anyway.
