My name is Laurel Lance.

For the past years I have been tormented by the loss of my loved ones, only to have them return to my life after believing they were dead.

But with them, something else returned.

I finally saw the true horror which my city had to suffer and knew something had to be done.

But to help the Arrow and to honor my sister, I couldn t stay the woman I was.

I had to become someone else.

I had to become something else.

I had to become the Black Canary.
