When Sara was presumed dead after the [[Queen's Gambit]] went down in 2007, her father, at first, did not forgive Oliver. However, sometime between 2008 and 2013, Sara trained as a part of the [[League of Assassins (group)|League of Assassins]] and learned to fight. She left the organization and returned to [[Starling City]] under the vigilante moniker '''The Canary''' (a translation of her League name as ''Ta-er al-Sahfer (Yellow Bird)'' (الطائر الأصفر), and stayed to protect her sister, Laurel, before she was forced to leave due to the League following her, trying to bring her back. She was eventually released from the League of Assassins by her former lover Nyssa. Following this she joined [[Oliver Queen's team]] and began a relationship with him, much to her sister Laurel's chagrin. However, she soon rejoined the League to keep her family out of harm's way. Sara eventually returned to Starling following [[Malcolm Merlyn]] but was killed by [[Thea Queen]], unknowingly under infuse of Malcolm, igniting her own sister's desire to take her sister's place as The Canary.
