Sara Lance

White Canary

*"Look. I don't know what you've heard about me, but basically, I had an affair with my sister's boyfriend, I allowed my entire family to think that I was dead, and then I became a League-trained assassin."
"Wow. That's impressive."
"My point is, even someone with a past as checkered as mine can still turn their life around, can be a hero."*
―Sara Lance and Earth-2 Laurel Lance[src]**Sara Lance** (December 25, 1987 – October 8, 2014; November 2015 - 2021; resurrected in a clone body 2021) is the daughter of Quentin and Dinah Lance, the younger sister of the late Laurel Lance, and the leader of the Legends following the departure of the team's founder, Rip Hunter. She is the captain of the *Waverider* and a member of The League, as well as a former member of the League of Assassins and Team Arrow. Sara is the wife of Ava Sharpe, the ex-girlfriend/close friend of the late Oliver Queen, and the ex-lover of Nyssa al Ghul.

After the *Queen's Gambit* went down in November 26, 2007, Sara was presumed dead but in reality, had been found by Anthony Ivo and spent time on the *Amazo* and Lian Yu. After the sinking of the *Amazo*, Sara was rescued by the League of Assassins, whom she then joined and trained with for five years, after which she left the organization and returned to Starling City under the vigilante moniker **the Canary**, a translation of her League name, ***Ta-er al-Sahfer*** (Arabic: الطائر الأصفر; for **"the Yellow Bird"**). Sara stayed to protect her sister, Laurel, before she was forced to leave due to the League following her, trying to bring her back. She was eventually released from the League of Assassins by her lover, Nyssa. Following this, Sara joined Team Arrow and rekindled her past relationship with Oliver. However, she soon rejoined the League as her part of a deal for their help in defeating Slade Wilson. Sara eventually returned to Starling while following Malcolm Merlyn but was killed by Thea Queen's hand, manipulated and drugged by Merlyn. Over a year after her death, Sara was resurrected by the powers of the Lazarus Pit, and with the help of John Constantine, her soul was restored when Laurel and Oliver risked their own to bring hers back. When she was recruited to Rip's team, the Legends, she became known as **White Canary**. Sara became the leader of the Legends when Rip was presumed dead and eventually left the team.

After the Legends broke time to defeat the Legion of Doom, they got disbanded by Rip and the Time Bureau. The Legends got back together to deal with the anachronisms, and to start the search for the Totems of Zambesi to defeat the demon Mallus. Sara started a rivarly with Time Bureau agent Ava Sharpe, who she would later start a relationship with. After the defeat of the demon Mallus, the Legends released magical creatures from hell, and with the help of John Constantine had to send back. Sara recruited Mona Wu and Charlie, while trying to mantain her relationship with Ava. To defeat Neron, the Legends had to put on Heyworld, and were successful in saving Ray and bringing Nate back to life. Some time after that, Sara was informed of the upcoming crisis and went to help the other heroes.

During the Anti-Monitor Crisis, Sara was revealed to be the **Paragon of Destiny**. She was one of the only surviving individuals from Earth-1 after the destruction of the original multiverse in the Anti-Monitor Crisis. However, thanks to Oliver's sacrifice, she and the other Paragons were able to defeat the Anti-Monitor after Earth-Prime was created.

After the battle with the Anti-Monitor and Oliver's funeral, Sara dealt with the "Encores" sent out by Astra Logue. After Ray's departure, the Legends had to deal with the Fates, and getting the pieces for the Loom of Fate. Sara survived seeing the goddess Atropos' true form and subsequently gained the power of near-future visions, though lost her eyesight in the process. She was killed again during the England Zombie Apocalypse while protecting her team, but revived by Charlie with the Loom of Fate. After killing Atropos, Sara lost her new-found powers and her eyesight was restored. Not long after, she was abducted by aliens and after escaping and crash-landing on an unknown planet, she was poisoned by an alien and found by Bishop. After Sara succumbed to the poison, Bishop transferred her mind to a human-alien hybrid clone body. Once rescued by Mick Rory, Sara reunited with the Legends and proposed to Ava.

Sara got married to Ava and fought alongside the Legends to defeat Bishop and the Zaguron invasion. The Legends and Sara got stranded in 1925 when a younger Bishop and his rebooted Gideon sought revenge on the Legends' actions. While stranded in 1925, Sara and Ava started the group "The Bullet Blondes" and contacted the creator of time travel Gwyn Davies. The Legends dealt with Bishop and learned the truth about Evil Gideon. Due to not having the *Waverider*, the Legends and Sara started messing with the timeline until Robot versions of themselves started hunting them. After defeating the Robot Legends and making a deal with Eobard Thawne, the Legends turned off Evil Gideon until human Gideon's life was in the line. Sara and Ava saw their future daughter and decided to start trying thanks to retiring from the Legends. Sara learned she got pregnant by Ava and helped Gwyn save Alun by making a deal with Mike who tricked the Legends later on. Sara said goodbye to Nate and got arrested by the Time Police for violating the timeline.
