Sara Lance

"Laurel's gonna kill me. Oh, she's so gonna kill me."

- Sara to Oliver Queen

Sara Lance, also known as Black Canary, is a vigilante and the daughter of Quentin and Dinah Lance, the younger sister of Laurel Lance, and the former fling of Oliver Queen. She was presumed dead when the Queen's Gambit went down, which her father never forgave Oliver for. It is confirmed though (through various sources) that Sara is indeed alive and returned to Starling City during 2013 as a vigilante.

Earlier life
During her high school years, Sara was bullied by some of her classmates because she was stealing one of her classmate's boyfriends. The often occurrences of her getting bullied caused behavior issues from Sara, and her grades to drop. This led to her father teaching her and Laurel how to defend themselves.

Voyage on the Queen's Gambit
In late 2007, despite her mother's wishes, Sara went on the Queen's Gambit with Oliver Queen. During their sail at sea, the ship fatefully sank, along with Sara. Her remains were never recovered so her family buried a empty casket, after being declared legally dead.

Return to Starling City
As Roy Harper was fighting a group of men who'd been harassing a woman, Black Canary swooped in and fought off the attackers before they could beat Roy. Roy expressed shock by her sudden entrance, before she quickly left.

Personality
Sara is a person who "just couldn't stay out of trouble". She made unwise, often selfish decisions, such as pursuing a boy with a girlfriend while in high school, provoking physical attacks from his girlfriend and her friends in retaliation. She apparently got in a fair bit of trouble as a teenager, including one incidence of shoplifting, that her father made go away. She also had an affair with her sister's boyfriend Oliver, suggesting that loyalty to her sister meant nothing to her. This led to her presumed death, when the Queen's Gambit went down.
