Biography[]
Early life[]
Laurel Lance was born on November 15, 2335 to Quentin and Dinah Lance in Star City and had a younger sister, Sara. As children, Laurel and Sara would play and dress up together. In one instance, they pretended to be grown-up versions of themselves with Laurel as a SCIS officer and Sara as a doctor. The two would also race to climb to the top of a particular tree, in which Laurel was implied to have always let Sara win, because she knew her little sister was a sore loser. When she was young, Laurel met and befriended Oliver Queen and Tommy Merlyn, and the three of them grew up together as lifelong best friends. She also became close with Oliver's younger sister, Thea.
Growing up, Laurel was always studious and responsible, in stark contrast with Sara's rebellious nature. From an early age, she was very close with her father, sharing Quentin's drive of administering justice and making the world a better place.
In her senior year of high school, Laurel became the student body president with help from Oliver and Tommy, who handed out gift baskets to the voters.
Laurel planned to attend Star City University after high school, but was struggling to figure out what she wanted to study in college. Meanwhile, her father suspected something was going on with Sara so he asked Laurel to keep an eye on her. The next day, Laurel tried to walk home with her sister but Sara rejected her offer of help. Sara later came home with a black eye, which revealed she was being bullied. Quentin scolded Laurel for not being there for her sister, citing that they should always look out for those who couldn't protect themselves, and began giving her and Sara self-defense lessons. Later as Laurel and Sara were walking home from school, Sara's bullies cornered them, but the sisters worked together to fend them off and they never bothered Sara again. Afterwards, Laurel took her father's words to heart and decided to study pre-law at Star City University, aspiring to become a lawyer to help people.
