24 Reasons Thea Queen Is Heroarrowneeds
We won't see a new episode of ' Arrow ' for a few more months, but there's still reason for fans to celebrate today: Willa Holland , who plays Thea Queen, just turned 24. Happy birthday, Speedy!
Even though we're waiting to see what awaits Speedy in Starling City next season, we can only speculate that it'll involve a huge amount of butt-kicking, now that she has her own costume, combat skills to rival her own brother, and an attitude as sharp as her arrows. Not to mention that Oliver Queen is out of the crime-fighting business, leaving a huge hole for a full-hearted hero to fill next year.
Here's why Thea is the hero Starling City needs and deserves:
- First of all, she has her brother's seal of approval.
The CW
- Because he's afraid of her.
The CW
Understandable.
- She has Roy's seal of approval, too!
The CW
- Because he's afraid of her, too.
The CW
Again, understandable.
- It's no surprise, really, because Thea is a badass.
The CW
Straight up.
- She learned from the best...
The CW
- Even if she's tried to KILL the best...
The CW
- And doesn't even LIKE the best.
The CW
- Thea can even take her own brother in combat.
The CW
- She can hold her own against both Oliver and Malcolm at the same time.
The CW

The CW
- Thea has no problem pulling the trigger.
The CW

The CW
- Oh, you found her? Okay, her ninja skills need a little work.
The CW
- (Although, try telling that to Sara Lance...)
The CW
Awkward!
- Thea will do whatever she has to do to survive.
The CW
- She can make friends...
The CW
- ...but she has no problem telling you like it is.
The CW
- So peace out, Thea haters.
The CW
- Thea's got no time for you.

The CW
