Samanda Watson

"The time of vigilantes is coming to an end. Because how can you idolize someone hiding in the shadows who won't show his face? Who refuses to own up to his shortcomings and culpability? It's not a hero, it's a coward."

- Samandra Watson

Samandra Watson is an special agent of the FBI. She is currently investigating Oliver Queen, the mayor of Star City; regarding if he is the vigilante known as Green Arrow.

Biography
After a photo of Oliver Queen appears dressed up as the vigilante known as Green Arrow she arrives in Star City to investigate him. As for the investigation, she interrogates the other members of Team Arrow except for Curtis, whom she didn't reach yet. It is revealed that she confronted Rene Ramirez, having discovered that he is Wild Dog, she blackmailed him into agreeing to testify that Oliver is the Green Arrow, or she would bring him down and he wouldn't be able to be reunited with his daughter.

At the Thanksgiving, she arrested Oliver Queen for the crimes charged on Green Arrow in front of his son, William so Oliver promises that once he gets out of this he will sue her for malicious prosecution. She though did not care as she believed she had all the evidence she needed to lock him up for good, she tried to convince him to sign a confession, but he refused and demanded to see his son. She later attended Oliver's trial, which was postponed temporally. After the Anti-Vigilante Bill was passed and Oliver made an announcement for it, Samandra confronted him and told him that she was returning to Washington, but she would be back for Oliver's trial.

Personality
Samandra is similar to Quentin Lance at first, as she is going after Oliver Queen, also known as Green Arrow, because he is a vigilante (despite the fact that vigilantes are not in the FBI's jurisdiction; it is in the jurisdiction of local law enforcements). She is very calm and level-headed, as she did not display any signs of anger when she was interviewing each member of Team Arrow respectively, to gather evidence that Oliver is a vigilante. She is ruthless, she arrested Oliver at the Thanksgiving for the crimes charged on Green Arrow in front of his son, showing that she doesn't care how malicious she prosecutes her suspects in front of the people close to them.

Samandra is very arrogant, as she believes being an F.B.I. agent makes her superior to Oliver who is the mayor of Star City. When she was in the mayor's office waiting for Oliver (despite the fact that she didn't make an appointment to see him) she (arrogantly) told him she didn't give a damn, when Oliver could've had her arrested for illegally trespassing in the mayor's office (as she did not have a search warrant or a warrant to question him), she is also arrogant to the point of being delusional, as she believes because he is an F.B.I. agent, that the laws don't apply to her.

Samandra is quite immoral and dishonorable; when Oliver was away with Slade Wilson, she interrogated Oliver's teammates "thus widening her net" behind his back, a sign that she will use and go after anyone close to him to gather evidence and blackmail anyone to testify against Oliver.

Abilities

 * High-level intellect/Expert detective: As a F.B.I. agent, Samandra is very intelligent. An expert investigator, she is able to follow every lead to discover the truth behind any crime. Samandra was able to figure out that John Diggle is posing as Green Arrow, to divergent suspicion that Oliver Queen is a vigilante, drug use under investigation by the FBI (albeit without any evidence) she also somehow discovered that Oliver was previously the vigilante known as the "Hood/Arrow" and that John poses the vigilante archer clearing the latter suspicion of being a vigilante.

Weaknesses

 * Arrogance: Being a F.B.I. agent has given her a massive ego. When Samandra brought William into a conversation she had with Oliver, she said that it doesn't matter what she does, as if the laws don't apply to her. At the Thanksgiving, she arrested Oliver Queen for the crimes charged on Green Arrow in front of his son, William so Oliver promises that once he gets out of this he will sue her for malicious prosecution. A sign that she doesn't seem to care about the consequences of her actions, or fails to realize what could happen if she is unable to prove that Oliver is a vigilante.
