Elena Queen (Guardian Arrowverse: Earth-1)

Elena Victoria Queen, {later known as Elena Queen-Harper} (born November 12, 1993) is a resident of Star City, a member of a group known as The Guardians, and a member of Team Arrow. She is the daughter of the later Robert Queen and Moria Queen, step-daughter of Walter Steel, the younger sister of Oliver Queen/Green Arrow and older sister of Thea Queen-Drake/Speedy. Elena was born into the socialite lifestyle due to her father being CEO of their family company, Queen Consolidated. After her father and brother were declared dead after the sinking of the Queen's Gambit, Elena spiraled into a depression where she turned to drugs and dated her dealer, Rex Danvers. Her addiction went on for almost two years and she nearly overdosed but luckily survived and spent the following year in rehab. Afterwards, she took her familial responsibility seriously and studied to get her MBA so she could run Queen Consolidated.

Elena later joins Team Arrow after learning their secret headquarters were under her club, Verdant. She trained for the better part of a year and eventually became the vigilante known as Nightingale. Towards the end of the third Arrow-related season, Elena bonds to the Eagle's Head gem, which heals her after she's mortally wounded by Ra's Al Ghul. Due to her new abilities granted to her by the gem, she changes her vigilante identity to Thunder Eagle.

Elena becomes the girlfriend and later wife of Roy Harper/Arsenal, and they have a daughter named Mia Harper Queen who later takes up the mantle Blackstar. She is best friends with Lorelai Ramon/Ice Princess, Rachel Rayne-Merlyn/Oracle, and Selena Merlyn-Rayne/Lunar Wolf, and close friend of Andrea Rayne-Queen/Arctic Fox, John Diggle/Spartan, Sara Lance/White Canary, Dinah Laurel Lance/Black Canary, '''Curtis Holt/Mr. Terrific, Renee Ramirez/Wild Dog, Aylena Markova/Salem, Dinah Drake/Black Canary, Barry Allen/The Flash, Elizabeth Mendel/Mother Nature, Cisco Ramon/Vibe, and Dr. Claire Daniels-Allen/Carbuncle'''.

Early Life
Elena was born on November 12, 1993 to Robert and Moria Queen. Oliver, who was eight at the time, instantly fell in love with his little sister and showed her affection. Ten months later, Elena became a big sister herself when Thea was born.

Growing up a socialite, Elena never had to work for much and was always dressed in the hottest styles and designers. She was also close with her family, particularly her father and sister.

Depression Spiral and Rehabilitation
After the presumed death of Robert and Oliver, Elena fell into a depression and started using heroine to deal with the pain. She also entered into an abusive relationship with her dealer named Rex Danvers.

Roy Harper/Arsenal
Roy is the love of Elena's life and the one person she believed she could be her true self with and the one who made her want to be a better person and not just some "shallow, rich socialite". They meet in the sixteenth episode of Wolf's Moon Rising when Roy steals Elena's purse while she's having lunch with Andrea Rayne. Elena spends the episode tracking him down to get her purse back, which is later revealed to have been the last gift her father, Robert, had bought for her before his death. There was some definite tension between the two but the romantic attraction didn't start until two episodes later when Roy saved Elena from some muggers and got stabbed in the process. When Elena took him to the hospital to get patched up, Roy needed a shot of anesthetic but he had a fear of needles. In order to take his mind off it, Elena kissed him and from that point on, which Roy describes as "love at first kiss", they began their relationship.

Carter Hall/Hawkman
Carter was a detective with the Star City Police Department and Elena's love interest for the first part of Darkness Among Star City. On the outside, it appeared like he and Elena had a great relationship, but they weren't simply meant to be. Carter Hall was the reincarnation of Prince Kufu from Ancient Egypt and the soulmate of Priestess Chay-Ara (who was reincarnated into Kendra Saunders and currently living in Central City and in a relationship with Theo Daniels). Even though Carter and Elena had genuine feelings for eachother, their hearts belonged to others and they parted as friends. Elena's feelings for Carter still existed after their breakup and she still cared about him, and was visibly hurt when she learned of his death at the hands of Vandal Savage from Kendra.

Billy Malone
Detective Billy Malone was Elena's first real relationship after Roy's departure from the team and could've been her second chance at real love and happiness in A New Legacy.

Powers

 * Guardian Durability: After bonding to the Eagle's Head, Elena's strength, stamina, and overall physical condition increased, allowing her to be able to withstand the physical demands and training needed to be a Vigilante/Guardian.
 * Guardian Powers: As a Guardian, Elena is able to use various powers associated with being bound to the Eagle's Head Animal Gem.
 * Accelerated healing factor: The Eagle's Head provides Elena with the ability to heal from wounds inflicted during battle.
 * Atmokinesis: The ability to control and manipulate the various forms and aspects of the weather itself.
 * Aerokinesis: The ability to control and manipulate air and wind.
 * Electrokinesis: The ability to control and manipulate electricity and lightning.
 * Nephelokinesis: The ability to control clouds to make it to rain.
 * Eagle Cry: The Eagle's Head allows Elena to manipulate soundwaves via her vocal cords, which is identical to the superhuman sonic scream used by both Dinah Drake and Laurel Lance (Earth-2). Elena is able to emit a sonic scream that comes from her voice, with the highest known frequency being between the 200-250 decibel range. Her scream is powerful enough to launch a Dominator, a full-grown human and other heavy objects back several feet, or inducing internal hemorrhaging at close range with concussive force alone. In the (now erased) future of 2040, Elena was shown to still have this ability, (even though her daughter Mia was in possession of the Eagle's Head), and was also shown that the cry was more refined to the point she could emit a powerful blast with just a small whistle.
 * Sound Immunity: Elena is immune to her own powers or any other individual with similar sonic scream-based powers, like Dina Drake and Laurel Lance (Earth-2).
 * Eagle Aura: During the Dominator invasion, Elena unlocked her Animal Aura. A manifestation that takes the form of an eagle, appearing purple in color. With this power, Elena is able to use the eagle's talons to injure her enemies, and she also has the ability to fly using the aura's wings. The Eagle Aura also increases the destructive power of her Atmokinetic abilities and her Eagle Cry.
 * Drakonian Physiology: During the Anti-Monitor Crisis, Elena was revealed to be one of the five Drakonian Paragons due to her selfless act of giving up her powers to help Elizabeth defeat her sister Lilith during the Nazi invasion from Earth-X. Elena becomes the new Paragon of the West, and in becoming a Drakonian Paragon, she herself became a Drakonian during the formation of Earth-Prime. Her new Drakonian Physiology grants her a longer-lasting lifespan and fine tunes her Atmokinetic powers and her sonic scream.

Abilities

 * Peak of human physical condition: Due to being trained by/with various members of Team Arrow Elena is in top physical condition.
 * Acrobatics/Free-running: Even before becoming a Vigilante, Elena was skilled in acrobatics due to taking gymnastics in her childhood up until Robert's death on the Queen's Gambit. After becoming Nightingale/Thunder Eagle, Elena developed free-running skills and could drop from a height of several feet without injuring herself.
 * High-level intellect/Expert tactician: Elena is known for being quite smart for her age, having gotten her MBA when she was eighteen years old. Since joining Team Arrow, Elena has become a master a working up tactical plans and or executing her role in plans other members have come up with.
 * Master hand-to-hand combatant/Martial artist: Even before she became an official member of Team Arrow, Elena picked up some hand-to-hand combat/self defense techniques from her boyfriend, Roy Harper, who insisted she learn to defend herself since she owned a club in the Glades. Later, upon joining Team Arrow, Elena trained with Selena, Tim, Andrea, and even Oliver and Sara and picked up various different fighting styles and techniques. Soon, Elena developed her own fighting style, incorporating escrima, capoeira, karate, wing chun, boxing, muay thai, judo, sambo, jeet kune do, and taekwondo. Elena can efficiently fight multiple opponents simultaneously, including members of the League of Assassins and later the Thanatos Guild.
 * Expert stick-fighter: Elena learned stick-fighting during her early vigilante training, a skill which she uses regularly in fights, using her escrima sticks which can combine to form a bo-staff.
 * Master archer: In her childhood, Elena attended a summer camp where she picked up archery skills. When she joined Team Arrow, Oliver helped refined her skills and turned her into a master archer. During the Siege of Starling City, Elena proved to be a capable archer, quickly shooting the Mirakuru soldiers with the cure created by Cisco and Caitlin of S.T.A.R. Labs.
 * Indomitable will/High tolerance for pain: Elena is a very resilient, driven, determined and nearly fearless individual.

Equipment

 * Nightingale suit: As the vigilante Nightingale, Elena wears  a protective suit designed by Lodai to hide her identity from her enemies when fighting crime. The suit is comprised of leather and kevlar. It's a deep purple corset-like top with a high-halter neckline under a same-colored jacket with a hood and two red-lined coattails reaching down to knee length, along with a set of deep-purple leather opera-length gloves also with thin red lines on either side. She also wears deep purple, almost black, leather/kevlar pants with small red lines going down the length on either side, and a pair of black, knee-high boots.
 * Nightingale mask: For identity concealment, Elena wears a deep-purple mask with red lining around the eye-sockets.
 * Thunder Eagle suit: When she changes her vigilante persona to her Guardian identity, Thunder Eagle, Elena's suit consists of a lighter-purple kevlar/leather jacket with crimson detailing zipped up to her neck with long sleeves covering her entire arms and a curved hood resembling a bird's beak, deep-purple kevlar/lether pants with leg holsters, black thigh-high boots, and fingerless gloves made out of leather. Under the jacket, she wears the same high-halter neck, corset top.
 * Thunder Eagle mask: For identity concealment, Elena wears a deep-purple mask with red lining around the eye-sockets. The mask itself is similar in style to Laurel Lance's (Earth-2) mask she wears as the "Black Canary".
 * Compound Bow: Due to dabbing into archery during her younger years at summer camp and being trained by both Oliver and Andrea, Elena uses a bow as her primary weapon when out in the field as a vigilante. She uses a black, Oneida Kestrel compound bow featuring lever-style limbs, meaning it used compound cams to store energy from bending the power limbs, but transferred this power to the arrow using the recurved outboard limbs
 * Quiver: Like Oliver, Andrea, and Roy, Elena has a quiver strapped to her back which she uses to hold her arrows.
 * Customized hunting arrows: Like Oliver, Andera, and Roy, Elena uses customized arrows.
 * Trick arrows: In the battle against Slade Wilson's army, Elena used trick arrows with Mirakuru cure heads. She also uses other trick arrows as Nightingale and Thunder Eagle.
 * Escrima sticks: As the vigilante Nightingale/Thunder Eagle, Elena carries two escrima sticks strapped to her lower legs. She sometimes uses them as two individual weapons, but can also combine them to form a bo-staff which she uses to fight in close-combat.
 * Fleschettes: As Nightingale/Thunder Eagle, Elena carries multiple deep-purple flechettes strapped in a holster on her thigh.
 * Roy's Quiver: After Roy left Team Arrow, Elena used his Quiver has part of her vigilante uniform as a way to keep him close to her while out in the field.
 * Voice filter: Elena uses a voice filter to disguise her voice; whenever she is talking to individuals who do not know her true identity.
 * Roy's Motorcycle: At first, when Elena is on patrol as Nightingale/Thunder Eagle, she was seen riding a motorcycle with Roy, as Arsenal, to get around the city. After Roy left Team Arrow, Elena continued to ride his motorcycle on patrol. After she bonded to the Eagle's Head, she had no need for the motorcycle, but she still rides it on occasion as a civilian.
 * Eagle's Head Animal Gem: As a Guardian, Elena is in possession of one of the five Drakonian Animal Gems. The Eagle's Head gifts Elena with Aerokinetic abilities, the ability to manipulate soundwaves via her vocal cords, and the ability to heal from injuries sustained in fight. In the third season she wore the gem attached to a ribbon choker, but from the fourth season onward she wears the gem attached to a gold chain choker.

Trivia

 * Early in the series, Elena was revealed to have had a drug addiction. This is taken from the comic book counterpart of her eventual love interest, Roy Harper, who had a similar addiction. The only difference is Elena's addiction was to heroine while Roy's was to Vertigo.
 * From an early age, Elena has had an interest in Ornithology (the study of birds), which she calls her 'guilty pleasure'. This is an allusion to her eventual Vigilante/Guardian/Mystic identities which are bird-themed monikers.
 * Elena also has a passive interest in gymnastics. Her actress (Cassie Scerbo) portrayed a main character on the ABC Family show Make It or Break It by the name of Lauren Tanner who was an elite gymnast.
 * In every appearance, Elena is wearing something purple, which is a nod to the eventual color of her Animal Gem/Animal Aura, Vigilante suit, and Guardian suit. It's also stated that purple is her favorite color.
 * Her first vigilante identity, Nightingale, is taken from the fact her father likened her singing voice to that of a Nightingale (a bird known to have a beautiful sound). Her second vigilante/Guardian identity, Thunder Eagle, is taken from the fact she's bonded to the Eagle's Head gem and has the power to conjure thunder and lightning.
