Sara Lance

Sara Lance is a main character on CW series DC's Legends of Tomorrow, originating on Arrow and a part of the Arrowverse.

Character
At first a sorta aimless younger sister of valedictorian, lawyer Laurel Lance, Sara expresses herself through a rebellious nature, which finds her keeping secrets from her family and hooking up with her sister's long-term boyfriend. In reality, Sara is lonely and it likely stems from her not being able to fully express herself, which she later does after her experiences following the sinking of the Queen's Gambit and her life as a member of the League of Assassins.

Returning to watch over her family, Sara is reluctant to let them see what she has become, but is met with acceptance from her parents and, after initial turmoil, starts to mend fences with her estranged sister. Laurel gives Sara the moniker White Canary, telling her she doesn't have to live in the darkness anymore. That she can be happy now. Rip Hunter echoes this sentiment when he voices Sara's strength and resilience, that she is not a killer at heart. After Rip is lost to the team, Sara takes on the mantel of Captain of the Waverider and leader of the Legends, with verve.
