And then I threatened to kill a little girl, and I realized that I am my father's daughter. So... I thought about what Laurel would say, and I think she would tell me to get out. | „ |

Thea Dearden Queen, also known as Mia during her time in Corto Maltese, is the daughter of the late Malcolm Merlyn and the late Moira Queen, the legal daughter of the late Robert Queen (though treated unquestionably as his daughter throughout his life) the ex-step-daughter of Walter Steele, the maternal younger half-sister of Oliver Queen, the paternal younger half-sister of the late Tommy Merlyn, the sister-in-law of Felicity Smoak and the aunt of William Clayton. Thea is also the girlfriend of Roy Harper. After learning how to fight from Malcolm, Thea became a vigilante and member of Team Arrow using her brother's nickname for her, Speedy, as her code-name. After one year, she decided to leave the team in order to find her true-self.
Thea was comatose for six months, following Lian Yu's destruction after the battle against Prometheus' team, but she has since recovered.
