Beatriz Conclave-Merlyn

Bea is the adoptive daughter of Malcolm Merlyn. Her mother and father was killed in a car accident when she was 14. She was also in the car but she survived. She woke up a week later in the hospital with Malcolm at her bedside. At first she did not know why he was there and he told her that her parents are dead and that he is her foster father. He was a stranger to her even though her parents were close to him. She went home with him five days late. He gave her everything she wanted he even painted her room for her. She and Tommy (Malcolm's son) became close and he even tried to let his friends take her out even though she was two years younger than him. She rarely came out of her room thus making Tommy's efforts useless. After the accident she threw herself into her school work and got straight A's. She went to college, but in her second year the army wanted her to join them. She accepted the offer even though Malcolm had a few things to say about it. He has not seen Bea in five years. Bea has a few scars over her body due to the fact that she was fighting wars. The biggest scar she has starts by her left ear and runs across her neck down to her right shoulder. One day she decided she is going to go home, she was going to surprise Malcolm. She also got a job working at the Starling police station.

Prologue:

28 March 2001:

Beatriz was sitting in the back of the car talking to her parents. Life was great, she was a straight A student with great friends and also two loving parents. She had a bright future ahead of her, but that all came crashing down on that fatal day.

She remembers hanging up-side-down in the car the space really crammed around her. "Beatriz we are going to cut you out", one of the men said. She turned her head and looked at the man then it all goes black.

4 April 2001:

Beatriz woke up suddenly trying to sit up but being held down by a man.

"Beatriz stay down", the man says. She recognizes the voice at Malcolm Merlyn one of her parents friends. She shifts a little feeling her whole body hurt then she remembers something.

"Where is my parents?" she asks looking at him. All that she remembers is that they were talking the one minute and the next minute she was hanging upside down in the car then total blackness.

"Beatriz, your parents did not make it" he says. Bea closes her eyes when she heard him say that, those words just turned her whole world upside down.

She climbed out off the cab and paid the driver taking her bags she walked up the stairs and she rang the doorbell. She smiles slightly this had been her home since her parents died, she was happy that she got taken in by Malcolm Merlyn. She did not want to think what would have happened to her if he did not adopt her. The door opens and there stood her adoptive father Malcolm.

He looks shocked at her, he has not seen her in five years since she joined the army. Then he smiled widely.

"Yes uncle Malcolm i am back" she pulls away and steps into the house she looks around not much has changed in this mansion she shook her head.

Bea went for a shower after the long day she had travelling home she stepped out off the bathroom wearing only the bath towel. She stands in front of the mirror and she looks at herself. She had become more athletically build in the past 5 years and the shy girl of then was gone, instead a woman who has experienced many trauma and death was looking back at her. The one thing that stood out on her appearance is the scar that starts from her left year crossing her neck and ending at her right shoulder. She got it from a fight when their team was kidnapped and taken hostage to get information out off them. She did not give anything away, or did she...
