Canarrow

Olivara is the het ship between Sara and Oliver from the Arrowverse fandom.

Canon
SHIPWRECKED

Sara and Oliver have known each other since they were young because of Oliver's relationship with Sara's older sister, Laurel. Initially, Oliver starts up a romance with a besotted Sara to destroy his relationship with Laurel, to whom he has promised to commit. Sara knows all this, but is in a bitter rivalry with her sister over Oliver and willingly goes with him on the Queen's Gambit.

LIAN YU

Oliver believes Sara to have drowned when the yacht sinks, but sees her again a year later, where she is working as muscle for Anthony Ivo on the Amazo. Sara, in reality, is looking to escape Ivo's insanity and soon they manage to get away, along with Slade and Shado. Sara and Oliver look out for and protect each other, but when they fight a Mirakuru-induced Slade on the Amazo, Sara is caught in a slipstream on the sinking both in a horrific mirror incident to the Queen's Gambit.

CANARY

Oliver again believes Sara to be dead and it weighs on his conscience as he feels responsible. After believing Sara to be dead for 4 years, they meet again, now as fellow vigilantes. Both feeling estranged from their old lives by their new identities as assassins, they find common ground and start a whirlwind romance. Contrary to his relationship with Laurel, Oliver falls head over heels for Sara and is ready and willing to commit to her, suggesting they move in together. Sara doesn't feel she can escape what she has done with the League of Assassins and leaves a heartbroken Oliver, saying she would pull him back into the darkness.

Fanon
A common pairing and one of the most significant Arrow pairings for many fans, given that this is the closest fans felt they ever came to seeing a Green Arrow/Canary romance in the series. With Sara moving to another series, it seems unlikely that they would ever be endgame on the show.

Quotes
"You deserve someone better. You can harness that light that's still inside of you, but I'm not that person and I never will be"
