I'm Cupid, stupid.

Cupid was obsessed with the Arrow.
History
Carrie Cutter was a member of the SCPD and the first woman to qualify for the SWAT team. She became obsessed with her partner and stalked him. The SCPD forced her to visit a psychiatrist, who diagnosed Carrie with attachment disorder and prescribed medication to help her. Carrie refused to take it and was expelled from the force roughly one year before Oliver Queen returned to Starling City.
During Slade Wilson's attack on Starling City, Carrie Cutter was attacked by one of Slade's Mirakuru soldiers, but she was saved by the intervention of The Arrow. Carrie picked up the arrow that Oliver used, hugging it close to her.
Inspired by The Arrow, Carrie Cutter turned herself into a vigilante, calling herself Cupid. Her first act was killing Isaac Stanzler. Carrie dressed up Stanzler in the garb of The Arrow, and left one of her signature heart arrows at the crime scene. Inside the arrow was a note, which lead Oliver and John Diggle to Carrie's apartment. Carrie watched Oliver from a window across from his, talking to him over the phone and giving him a picture of her next target. Oliver tracked down the target, and confronted Cupid, but she escaped.
With the help of her partner Kirby Bates, Carrie is able to narrow down the location of The Arrow's hideout to Verdant Nightclub. Carrie went to the club, but Oliver managed to lure Carrie away from the club. A fight with Cupid caused her and Oliver to fall down into a train tunnel. Carrie cuffed Oliver to the tracks, and prepared to be hit by an oncoming train so she could be with The Arrow forever. Oliver dislocated his wrist, freeing himself from the cuffs, and tackled Carrie safely to the side of the tracks. Carrie was sure that this proved that The Arrow was truly her true love.
Believing her to be able to do good, Oliver handed Carrie over to A.R.G.U.S. for a spot on the Suicide Squad. She was sent on a mission to Kaznia along with Deadshot and Diggle and Lyla Michaels, who had just got married. Carrie remained as delusional as ever, fantasising about her and the Arrow's wedding and the children they would have together.
The Squad had been sent to rescue Senator Cray, who had seemingly been taken hostage by terrorists. However, Cray was revealed to be the mastermind, having set up the situation to boost his profile for a presidential run. In the ensuing shootout Deadshot saved Carrie's life and her obsession immediately transferred to him, much to Lawton's disgust. Deadshot sacrificed himself to let the others escape, leaving Carrie devastated.
Carrie continued to work off her sentence with the Suicide Squad and was eventually released. In the intervening period, Roy Harper came forwards as the Arrow and was seemingly murdered in prison. With both the men she "loved" dead, Carrie turned on the very concept of love and began kidnapping and murdering celebrity couples in Star City. She targeted Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak's wedding, wiring the building with C4 to kill all of them. Felicity tried to convince her to put down the detonator, telling her that love was real and how much her love for Oliver had made her life better. Carrie seemed to be convinced but it is unclear if she would have actually surrendered, as Spartan and Speedy jumped in to stop her. She was arrested and returned to prison.
Carrie befriended Liza Warner and China White in prison. The three of them hijacked a prison transport and escaped back to Star City. They tortured and killed dozens of criminals searching for Tobias Church's stash of money, planning to use it to take over Star City's underworld. They fought Team Arrow and the SCPD with an army of hired goons but were defeated.
Later, Oliver Queen revealed that he had been The Arrow, leaving Carrie bitter and heartbroken as he had, in her mind, left her for another woman. Lyla and Diggle recruited her for a new Suicide Squad, renamed the "Ghost Initiative". While being interviewed she met and attempted to flirt with Curtis Holt, unaware that he was gay.
The Ghost Initiative's first mission was an embarrassing failure and the project was once again cancelled. Carrie was returned to prison.
