Roy William Harper, Jr., (born in 1991) is a street-savvy teenager from the Glades. He is the son of the late Roy Harper, Sr. and an unnamed woman, the ex-boyfriend, of Thea Queen, a good friend of Sin, and the current apprentice of Oliver Queen. When he first appeared Roy was a street criminal who was resentful of everyone until he met Thea who showed him another way of life and became more calm as he fell in love with her. He also used to be one of The Arrow's main supporters, until the Arrow shot him in the knee with an arrow, telling him that the life he was trying to live was dangerous. However when Roy discovered the reason why the Arrow shot him in his knee with an arrow in the first place, and discovered his identity, Roy regained respect for Oliver, and he has become one of Oliver's main supporters again. He was one of a number of people kidnapped and injected with the Mirakuru serum in an attempt to create a superhuman army for Slade Wilson's Blood Cult. He is currently training under Oliver in an attempt to control his powers. He is also a part-time member of Oliver's team.

==Trivia==
*In the original Green Arrow comics, Roy Harper is Green Arrow's sidekick, and is the first to take on the codename Speedy, which happens to be Thea Queen's nickname in Arrow. He later left Green Arrow due to drug abuse, but returned to take on the monikers Arsenal, and Red Arrow. This is foreshadowed when Roy keeps the flechette Oliver threw to him to cut himself free.
*As shown in "The Huntress Returns", Roy has a fear of needles. This is likely a reference to his comics alter ego's struggle with heroin addiction. This is referenced again when Brother Blood injects him with the Miracle serum.
*He is often shown wearing a red hoodie, a nod to his comic alter ego, Red Arrow.
*Unlike his DC comic version, Roy does not seem to have a good relationship with Oliver, However Roy does get along with his alter ego until The Arrow unveils his identity so he can help Roy control his newfound powers.
*He and Slade Wilson are currently the only known living people injected with Mirakuru.
