The mysterious vigilante that impersonated the Green Arrow was a major recurring presence throughout the first half of the season, but she didn't really make an impression until the second half, as the midseason premiere revealed that she was none other than Oliver Queen's secret half-sister, Emiko.

Originally a trust-worthy (albeit moody) ally of Team Arrow, Emiko took the opportunity to get to know her brother. However, when Laurel discovered that she was actually the one responsible for Diaz's apparent death, it didn't take long for her to turn on everyone around her.

In spite of her Ninth Circle membership, Oliver is determined to help his sister see the light. But, given that he's totally unaware that she's actually the leader of the Ninth Circle, is redemption even a possibility?

When we last saw her, it became clear that Emiko was more deadly than anyone initially thought, as she was willing to kill her own brother and even threatened the man responsible for her prominence within the Circle. Thus, the viewers have been posed with the questions: Is there anything good left inside of Emiko and, perhaps more importantly, does she even want to be redeemed?
