Origin[]
Emiko Queen, affectionately called Emi by her friends and family, was the daughter of Robert Queen and his former lover, the assassin, Shado. She was abducted as an infant by Simon Lacroix and taught to hate her biological family. Emi was trained to be an assassin by Lacroix. She had a confrontation with Oliver, both uinaware of their relationship, to protect her father. After Oliver learns of Emi's origins from Shado, this fact remains unknown to Emi until the Outsiders War, where she learned that she had been lied to her entire life. Though she killed her former adoptive father because of his betrayal, she ultimately chose to get to know her half-brother, and remain with him. She was trained by her brother and became his sidekick and partner, the Red Arrow.

Adaptations[]
Arrowverse[]
Emiko was created based on Thea Queen, who in turn, was based on Mia Dearden. Both girls have similar costumes and both are the half-sisters of Oliver Queen. Emiko herself was later adapted into the Arrowverse. She appears as an antagonist in the television series, Arrow, serving as the main antagonist of the eighth season. She is a member-turned-leader of the Ninth Circle. Her mother is not Shado (who was made Oliver's love interest in the series), rather, another lover of Robert Queen, Kazumi Adachi. Kazumi was her maternal grandmother in the comics, another major difference.
She is revived by Oliver during the Crisis and meets her step-mother, Moira, and her adoptive sister, Thea, who warmly welcome her into the family.
