Origin
After the death of her mother and no longer able to withstand her father's abuse Mia Dearden ran away from home. Taking refuge with a Star City pimp, Dearden was forced into prostitution in exchange for shelter. When Green Arrow returned he rescued Dearden and the two took refuge with the elderly Stanley Dover, who hid the fact that he was an evil sorcerer. After Dover's was defeated by the demonic beast with no name, Dearden became a permanent part of Green Arrow's life. Dearden fantasized that she would one day become Green Arrow's new crime-fighting partner and practiced her archery, acrobatic and combat skills - but the Emerald Archer was adamantly opposed to the girl following in his footsteps. Green Arrow eventually acquiesced to Dearden's desire to battle against crime when she discovered she was infected with the deadly AIDS virus. Now she makes the most of what will be a tragically short life - fighting evil as Speedy.
