History
A troubled teenager, Mia Dearden left home after being abused by her father. With her mother deceased, she took to the mean streets of Star City until a sleazebag named Richard took her in, forcing her into a life of prostitution in return for shelter. Mia escaped her pimp the same night the original Green Arrow returned from the dead, rescuing her from a depraved Star City politician. Ollie convinced the teen to turn her life around. She accepted shelter in the home of the elder Stanley Dover, who hid the fact that he had less than honorable intentions.
As Oliver Queen got his life back in order, Mia fantasized that she would one day become Green Arrow's new crime-fighting partner and began taking up practice with the bow. Once the Emerald Archer learned of her desire, he nipped it in the bud, instead emphasizing that she concentrate on her academic studies. Mia began to work after classes in the Star City Youth Recreational Center with Queen and Ollie's son, Connor.
When Mia tested positive for H.I.V., she was more determined than ever to do something special with her life. Green Arrow felt he at last owed it to Mia to give her a chance. Mia became sidekick to Green Arrow as Speedy. To complement her training, Mia also joined the Teen Titans.
