Karina Knyazev (Guardian Arrowverse: Earth-1)

Karina Knyazev, codename Salem, is a meta-human, former citizen of Central City, an alumnus of Central City University, current resident of Star City working as an ER Doctor at Star City General Hospital and a member of Team Arrow. During her time living in Central City she was exposed to the dark matter wave and became a Meta-Human with cat-like instincts and reflexes, and rapid regenerative abilities. A year after moving to Star City, she was recruited by Selena Merlyn-Rayne/Lunar Wolf and Elena Queen/Thunder Eagle to join the ranks of Team Arrow. Karina is also the estranged daughter of Anatoly Knyazev, a member of the Solntsevskaya Bratva and old friend of Oliver's.

Karina later became close friends with '''Curtis Holt/Mr. Terrific, Rene Ramirez/Wild Dog, and Dinah Drake/Black Canary''', and even became close with Rene's daughter, Zoe Ramirez. After discovering that Oliver and the rest of the original Team Arrow had violated her privacy, as well as Curits' Dinah's and Rene's, Karina left Team Arrow. She, along with the other recruits formed their own New Team Arrow and continued to protect Star City. Karina also became further estranged from Anatoly when she learned he was working with Ricardo Diaz. When Ricardo Diaz became a truly dangerous threat, the four reconciled with Oliver and rejoined Team Arrow to take him down. This also helped Karina mend fences and form a genuine relationship with her father.

Karina later became a deputized hero working with the Star City Police Department. She also fell in-love with Rene and married him after Oliver was released from Slabside Prison, and became Zoe's step mother.

After the destruction and restoration of the multiverse, J'onn J'onzz restored Karina's Earth-1 memories and helped to stop the Anti-Monitor. Karina and the rest of Team Arrow came together in the bunker and John poured drinks for everyone to toast to Oliver's memory, but Karina declined and revealed that her and Rene were expecting a baby. She later attended Oliver's funeral with Rene to honor their friend. Karina also fully encouraged Rene's decision to run for Mayor.
