"She is the dark
mirror version of Oliver," said Executive Producer Andrew
Kreisberg, "and it was a nice contrast to him because he’s pretty
extreme. He goes a lot further than not only his comic book version but lots of
comic book characters — most have a code of draws the line against
killing... Oliver has taken the darkness inside with
him and is doing something positive with it. She’s taken the darkness inside her
and is seeking revenge and doesn’t care who gets hurt in the
process."
But how many episodes will the DC heroine
appear in?
"It’s two episodes
for now but we definitely hope we see more of her. We certainly set her up as an
interesting foil for Oliver and we’re excited to see where else we can take
her."
The character will make her debut on the
November 28 episode, titled "Vendetta."
