Biography
Origin
As a child, her father Quentin bought her a canary which her sister claimed drove the family crazy. (Episode: Dead to Rights) Her father would also buy her a cap with the logo of the Starling City Rockets on it that Sara kept among her possessions. (Episode: Salvation)
In time, she was given the name Ta-er al-Asfer that when translated from Arabic meant 'The Canary'. (Episode: Streets of Fire)
She later returned to Star City where she helped Oliver stop the new Count Vertigo and later met her sister Laurel on a roof top. After Laurel left, she was surprised by a person in the shadows who shot several arrows into her body causing her to fall off the ledge and die where her sister held her in her arms. (Episode: The Calm)

Legends
In January 2016, Sara was in a bar in Tibet. She helped a woman who was being assaulted by a drunk patron, easily overpowering and defeating the two perpetrators. Sara was then intercepted by Rip Hunter, who claimed he had 'come a long way to meet her'. He knocked her out and she awoke on a roof-top with six other individuals. From here, they were all offered the chance to join Rip's new team and help him prevent Vandal Savage's rule over the world in the year 2166. He showed them how Savage would destroy the world as they knew it unless they agreed and that by joining him, they would be remembered as legends. Sara returned home to Star City and visited her sister. After a sparring session, Laurel encouraged Sara to take up Rip's offer. Sara was reluctant, citing her still dealing with her recent death and subsequent struggle with bloodlust, but her sister pointed out that this could be an opportunity for her to become a hero in the light. Laurel gave Sara the identity of White Canary, along with a suit designed by Cisco Ramon. Sara questioned the lack of a mask but Laurel told her she did not need it anymore as she would no longer live in the shadows. Sara then joined the team and was taken aboard their time-ship, the Waverider which Rip used to take them all back to 1975 to get a lead on where to find Vandal Savage. When Sara, Leonard Snart, and Mick Rory were forced to sit out on a mission, as Rip deemed their particular skills not important here, they decided to go out for drinks. As Sara began dancing, a biker tried to hit on her and wouldn't take no for an answer, prompting Sara to beat up him and his friends. Leonard and Mick soon joined the fray, starting a bar fight. As the trio returned, they were just in time helping the team fight off Chronos, a bounty hunter working for the Time Masters. The team was confused at this, to which Rip revealed that he had lied to them. He no longer worked for the Time Masters and the members were not selected because they were legends; the group was in fact meaningless for history, which would aid in his personal mission of avenging his wife and son, whom Savage murdered while the Time Masters turned a blind eye.
