While Sara may not exist in the comics, she served a big role in Laurel's Black Canary storyline, operating as The Canary, a member of the League of Assassins. However, at the start of Arrow season 3, Sara was suddenly killed off, which brought Laurel into the final step into becoming the Black Canary.
