and the girlfriend of Roy. Her nickname, given to her by Oliver, is Speedy. She was once into drugs and drinking, but she turned herself around. She took over Oliver's night club and made turned it into a successful business.. For a long time she was the only main character on the show that did not know Oliver's secret, and was only told when her life was in danger.
Her Relationship with Roy
Her relationship with Roy began after her stole her purse. They began to meet in private, and soon took their relationship public. Roy felt that she would be safer if they broke up, and with Oliver's support, Roy ended the relationship.
Her Relationship with Oliver
Thea is really close with her brother Oliver. She looks up to him, even before she knew he was the Arrow. It was an on going joke on the show that Thea was the only one who didn't know Oliver's secret.
Their relationship was put to the test when Thea found out that Malcolm Merlin was her father, and that Oliver didn't tell her. She eventually forgave Oliver, but not before she ran away with Malcolm.
I've never watched Arrow but I really enjoy comic books, especially the DC series. I find it interesting her nickname is Speedy because in the original Green Arrow comics Speedy is his sidekick. He was also a male. I am intrigued to think that the show portrays the name Speedy as his younger sister oblivious of his actions. I may look more into the show.
