Biography[]
Lian Harper is a child of American-Asian descent. She was the daughter of Roy Harper, aka Speedy & Arsenal and the international terrorist known as Cheshire, whose real name was Jade Nguyen. In the years when Roy was working for the Central Bureau of Intelligence, he was tasked with capturing Cheshire. Through the course of events, the two had a one-night stand, which produced Lian. Because Jade Nguyen was an international fugitive, Roy Harper took legal custody over Lian and she retained her father's surname.
When Lian was still a child, approximately five-years-old, the criminal mastermind known as Prometheus used the Executioner to destroy Star City. Lian was in Star City at the time, and died. [3]
