History
Thea Queen is Oliver Queen's younger sister.
While Oliver was on the island, she developed a rebellious attitude and a drug habit, although she began to become clean after criminal charges are brought against her for driving while under the influence. During this time she met and began a relationship with Roy Harper.
After the collapse of the Glades and Oliver's return to the island, Thea took over Oliver's club. However, her relationship with her family and Roy swiftly began to break down due to Roy experiencing psychological issues after he was dosed with mirakuru- a strength-enhancing drug that also compromised his capacity for rational thought- and Thea learned that Malcolm Merlyn was her biological father and nobody else had told her about this. She was subsequently contacted by the resurrected Malcolm Merlyn, and accepted his offer to accompany him for training.
While training with Malcolm, he drugged Thea so that she would return to Starling and murder Sara Lance on his orders, provoking a chain of events that would force Oliver to fight Ra's al Ghul to protect Malcolm.
