“*My point is, even someone with a past as checkered as mine can still turn their life around, can be a hero.*”
―Sara Lance
**Sara Lance** is a superheroine from DC Comics known as the **White Canary** and one of the main characters of DCs *Legends of Tomorrow*. She is also the daughter of Quentin and Dinah Lance, the younger sister of the late Laurel Lance, the ex-lover/close friend of Oliver Queen, the ex-lover of Nyssa al Ghul, the wife of Ava Sharpe, one of the two mothers of their unborn daughter, and the arch-enemy of Damien Dahrk.

## History

### Early Life

Sara Lance was born in 1987 to Quentin and Dinah Lance. According to Laurel, Sara was once a rebellious teenager whose father was a police officer, her mother was a professor and Laurel became a lawyer. She grew up with Oliver Queen and his sister, Thea, and Tommy Merlyn. She was extremely close with her sister, but soon drifted apart when they grew older.

At one point, she went and shop-lifted, but the charge was dropped when Quentin found a way to "Make it go away", according to Laurel. She often partied and went out past after curfew. She snuck into a party that Tommy was hosting just to get close to spending time with Oliver despite Sara being underage at a rave only meant for people over the age of 18.  However Laurel called their dad, the cop on Sara to break up the party to protect her. However, at the time, Sara thought Laurel did this because she was aware of her sister's crush and did this to hurt her. When Laurel and Oliver became a couple, this further supported Sara's idea her sister ratted her out to Quentin just to spite her.

### Seeing Oliver

. In 2007, she soon began having an affair with Laurel's boyfriend, Oliver. Unfortunately, Sara was ship-wrecked when the Queen's Gambit was caught in a storm.

## Personality

"*I've lost a lot, most recently, my dad. The world needs a protector, someone to keep it safe. And it doesn't matter if someone's wearing a mask. All that matters is no one should have to lose their family or anyone they love.*

Sara Lance was, as a teenager and young adult, considered the black sheep of her family. She would often get into trouble, whether it was sneaking into parties, or shop-lifting. Her personality basically reflected her as a female Oliver Queen. She also willingly went into a relationship with Oliver Queen despite knowing he and Laurel were already dating at this point. This shows a rather shallow and selfish reasoning for getting back at her sister after believing Laurel knewa bout Sara's crush on Oliver. However, she only truly changed when the Gambit went down.

After her ship-wreck, Sara matured. At first feeling vulnerable and afraid, Sara relied mostly on Anthony Ivo, the man whose ship had rescued her. It is also revealed she had helped Ivo torture his subjects on fear of being the next one if she did not comply. In spite of her allegience to Ivo, she made sure Oliver was safe and stopped other people from trying to do him harm. Despite justifying Ivo's actions to Oliver, Sara would come to regret helping him in his quest, and became disillusioned with Ivo when he killed Shado. After spending time with Oliver yet again, Sara began to re-develop her care for Oliver.

After Sara's mind was transferred to a human-alien hybrid clone body, Sara still retains her original personality,

## Relationships

### Oliver Queen

Being childhood friends make the Oliver and Sarah relationship as one of the longest running pairings in the series. They started an affair together when Oliver was still dating her sister Laurel but seemingly lost each other when the Queen's Gambit sunk. They reunited about a year later and nearly spent a year together on Lian Yu fighting Slade, until Oliver lost Sarah again when they were fighting Slade on the Amazo and later reunited. Sara always had a crush on Oliver.  She snuck into a party that Tommy was hosting just to get close to spending time with Oliver despite Sara being underage at a rave only meant for people over the age of 18.  However Laurel called their dad, the cop on Sara to break up the party to protect her. However, at the time, Sara thought Laurel did this because she was aware of her sister's crush and did this to hurt her. When Laurel and Oliver became a couple, this further supported Sara's idea her sister ratted her out to Quentin just to spite her.  However, in truth, Laurel presumably  wasn't aware of her crush on Oliver and just didn't want Sara to go down a wrong path.

Oliver started having an affair with Sara despite dating her sister Laurel. Sara supposedly drowned when the Queen's Gambit toppled over and ocean water flooded the yacht.  However, in the category 2 storm, Oliver was saved by his father and a crew remember when the Queen's Gambit went down and Sara was miles away from him. Their romantic feelings for each other resurfaced after their their encounter with the League of Assassins and Nyssa al Ghul. Their second relationship ended in less of a tragedy. Sarah revealed she was willing to kill Roy when the opportunity opened itself up to her and would have had the chance after he nearly landed Sin in the hospital. Believing herself to be filled with darkness, she still saw there was some light left in Oliver and it was something she didn't have, so she broke up with him. Instead, they remained friends.

### Felicity Smoak

Felicity and Sara are good friends. Like everyone else Felicity thought Sarah was dead because of Oliver's claims she died on the Gambit. However, he was just fulfilling Sarah's wish in case she didn't survive their confrontation with Slade tell her family she died on the Gambit so they remember her for who she was instead of a person she has become now.  Oliver first told Felicity (and John) that Sarah was still alive, and it was Felicity who pointed out Laurel and Quentin blamed Oliver for everything that had happened to her.

Sara and Felicity officially met in 2014 when the former and Oliver were attacked by a member of the League of Assassins. The latter tell Sara that she's glad that she is alive while also rambling that have never met until now. Sara is confused at first, but gently tells Felicity she finds her rambling being "cute"

Felicity grew somewhat jealous of Sara and felt like a shadow to her: because she could match Diggle and Oliver in a fight when Felicity can't. Sara can tell that something is bothering the other woman, but can't seem to get through to it. Sara advised Felicity to move her hips when fighting in case of emergency. However, after Felicity saves her from the Clock King, Sara and Felicity begin having a friendship. At the end of this episode, Felicity finally realizes both she and Sara are equals and special in their own way.
