Nyssara

"I had a Maggie too. And I think about going back to her. All the time"

- Sara to Alex

Nyssara is a femslash ship between Sara Lance and Nyssa al Ghul on CW series Arrow.

Canon
Nyssa al Ghul found Sara after Sara was pulled out of the Amazo and presumed dead (in a tragic similarity to her presumed death on the Queen's Gambit). Nyssa brought Sara to her father's castle in Nanda Parbat, and Sara was henceforth trained as a member of the League of Assassins under the name Ta-er al-Usfar. Nyssa and Sara fell in love and were together, until Sara decided to desert from the League. Nyssa followed her to Starling City and the two were briefly reunited, until Nyssa accepted Sara's departure. Nyssa is devastated at the news of Sara's death, but is at first opposed to her resurrection, due to the changing nature of those who rise from the Lazarus pit. After Sara is magically saved by John Constantine and Laurel encourages her to take up with Rip Hunter on his mission, Sara visits an imprisoned Nyssa in Nanda Parbat to show her that she is herself again.
