Arisia Rrab was originally from the planet Graxos IV. Her father, Fentara, served as the Green Lantern of Sector 2815. Eventually, Arisia assumed the role of Green Lantern of her sector as a teenager.
History
Green Lantern Corps
On the early days of her recruitment, Arisia's first mission in the Corps was joining her comrades in the fight against Krona and Nekron[1].
She was one of the Green Lanterns, along with Katma Tui, Salakk, Ch'p (who referred to her as the "big cutie") and Kilowog, who relocated to Earth after the battle against the Anti-Monitor.[2]
Arisia had a huge crush on Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern of Sector 2814. After she was stationed on Earth with Jordan, she subconsciously used her power ring to age herself so that she and Jordan could be together.[3] Though Hal Jordan did ultimately return Arisia's affections, it was some time before he came to terms with her as an adult.
Later due to a disruption with the Central Battery on Oa—from which the Green Lanterns drew their power—several Green Lanterns, including Arisia, lost their powers. However Arisia decided to remain on Earth with her boyfriend Hal Jordan. They moved to Chicago for a time, where she earned a job as a model.[4] Their relationship became strained from adjusting to changes in the Corps and they eventually broke up.[5] Following their break-up, Arisia moved to live in the Green Lantern Citadel with Kilowog.[6] Eventually, the Citadel was destroyed, and Arisia again found herself not knowing what to do with her life, especially since her mind regressed to that of a 13-year-old even though her body still looked adult.[7]
A few years later, Arisia reunited with Hal and tried to convince him to resume their relationship and allow her to return to the Corps, but Hal rejected both, saying that he was interested in another woman and that she was still not ready to assume the responsibilities of a Green Lantern again.[8]
Murdered
A mysterious woman with ties to the equally mysterious organization known only as the Quorum tried to cast a spell over Guy Gardner and gain control of his actions. Because of Veronna, who had sworn to protect the Warrior, Guy had escaped Martika's grasp, who could have any man she desired. While Guy was busy fighting other enemies sent by Martika, the resurrected Major Force, also following Martika's orders, crashed into Warriors looking for Veronna. He found Arisia instead, but he was only too happy to dispense with any of Guy's friends that he might come across. Arisia did her best to defend herself, but ultimately did not have a fighting chance against the seemingly immortal Major Force. Using improved genetics (Vuldarian DNA, like Guy's) he grabbed Arisia and suffocated her to death.[9]
Major Force called Guy Gardner out, the villain delivering a picture of Arisia. Though Major Force would later return, Gardner seemingly put down Major Force and avenged Arisia. At her funeral, Hal Jordan, again in his Parallax guise, appeared beside Guy Gardner to give his final respects to the woman he had once loved. Before quietly leaving he created a floating green hologram of Arisia above her body.[10]
Resurrection
However, Arisia had not died. She had merely entered a natural state that Graxonites go into after a traumatic injury, regenerating and healing. The Cyborg Superman knew this, and brought her to Biot, the homeworld of the Manhunters where she was used as a power source along with many other Green Lanterns.
She was later discovered by Jordan and Gardner. After awakening, she was instrumental in the defeat of the Cyborg Superman, and later seen sharing a last kiss with Hal, before he left for Earth. Arisia was one of the few non-Earth Lanterns who stood by Hal's side, when the Lost Lanterns refused to have anything to do with him.
Sinestro Corps War
During the Sinestro Corps War, Arisia was paired with rookie Lantern Sodam Yat, fighting alongside him and other Lanterns over Mount Rushmore, defending it and Guy Gardner from members of the Sinestro Corps. Impressed by Sodam's victory over the sentient city, Ranx, defended him against Guy, saying he was as good as most veterans. She flew to Daxam's sun, looking onto Sodam's body and mourning his death.
Returning to Oa, she found the planet being overrun by Black Lanterns during the beginning of Blackest Night.
