## Background

### 1995 - 2012: Cissie King-Jones

Suzanne "Cissie" King-Jones was raised the daughter of crimefighter, Bonnie King & news reporter, Bernell Jones in Star City. Due to her mother's mastery of archery, she became dedicated to Cissie learning it as well. Bonnie had been in the Olympics & wanted Cissie to do the exact same to follow in her footsteps. She was forced into lessons of archery, judo, kick-boxing, gymnastics, ballet & other things as a child to the point she had time for nothing else. While she was on the path to becoming "perfect" in her mom eyes, Cissie just wanted a normal childhood.

Cissie would get her wish of a normal childhood in 2010 but it came at the expense of her mother. The three of them had decided to go out to dinner for some family time at Bernell’s insisting. They went to Cissie’s favorite restaurant, a seafood place called Catch Em. Unfortunately, her mother ate some bad shellfish. She became extremely sick & was bedridden for the next week until she passed away. Bernell then sets up a trust fund for Cissie with the life insurance money.

Life with her father was far more simple & easier for Cissie. She took a break from physical activities to focus on school for once, as her mom didn't care much about that. On her own time, Cissie eventually got back into archery & ballet as those were the two things she actually enjoyed doing. After years of watching various heroes with a bow & arrow, Cissie decided to join the crusade & called herself Arrowette based on her mom's name.

Like most heroes using an arrow, she eventually came across Green Arrow while he was doing beginner patrols with Speedy. Speedy quickly noted Cissie's gracefulness with bow & arrow, stating that she was the definition of "float like a butterfly, sting like bee." After seeing the two girls converse, Oliver got the idea to put Arrowette on the Titans as Speedy was about to join & they would both know each other. It didn't take much convincing for Cissie. She was ready to be apart of a team.
