Helena Bertinelli (Earth 97)

"Once you let the darkness inside, it never comes out."

- Helena to Laurel Lance

Helena Bertinelli, nicknamed The Huntress by Quentin Lance, is a female Human who is a rogue psychotic vigilante. She is the daughter of the late Frank Bertinelli, the fiancée of the late Michael Staton, and the ex-girlfriend-turned-enemy of Oliver Queen. Helena was set on destroying her father's crime empire as revenge when her father had Michael killed.

Oliver intervened when Helena attempted to kill her father and saved her life when she was shot by Frank with her own crossbow. Afterwards, Helena left Starling City after realizing that Oliver wasn't on her side. She later returned to kill her father when he made a deal with the SCIS and Justice Department to avoid jail time and go into witness protection in exchange for testifying against the East Coast family. Helena was stopped by Oliver once more, though he was forced to let her go after she shot McKenna Hall.

A year later, Helena returned when the Arrow arrested her father, who was ultimately killed in the crossfire caused between Team Arrow and Captain Stein. She was arrested by Officer Lance and sent to prison.

Many years later, Helena returned to Star City and teamed up with Ricardo Diaz and Lex Luthor to destroy Oliver's legacy and Star City.
