Equipment and Weapons:
Custom Bow:: She has a custom made bow that was given to her for her fourteenth birthday.
Quiver:: What would the daughter of the Green Arrow be with out a quiver to hold her arrows.
Trick Arrows:: There are so many types of arrows that it isn't funny. She uses all of the arrows her father had. These arrows include, but are not limited to: Boxing Glove, Flash Grenade, Greek Fire, Glue, Electric, Gas Pellet, Grapple, and Net Arrows.
Regular Arrows:: Of course, along side her trick arrows, she has her regular arrows as well. While they may be dangerous, she knows how to use them and will not use them to kill someone, simply maim when it is truly necessary (and that isn't exactly often). They are also quite good for hunting.
Katana:: She has been known to, at times, use her father's old Katana. She figures she was trained to use it, so why not use it? She doesn't use it too terribly often, though.
Body Armor:: She has the same body armor that her mother had had when she was the Black Canary, though she tends to wear a little green hood that seems to have a mini cape with it.
Canary Cry Bombs:: Bombs that can emit a similar loud sonic sound to her own cry. These are very useful to her when she isn't able to use her voice. While she probably doesn't need it, the use of her Canary Cry is insanely helpful to her and
Harmonica:: It is a very old harmonica that her mother gave to her when she was young that has become one of her most prized possessions. It is extremely useful in keeping her voice in check.
Vehicle:: She has two modes of transportation. One being a black SUV convertible with tinted windows that she loves to drive during the day. The other is a black motorcycle that she usually uses to get around at night.
Powers:
Canary Cry:: The Canary Cry is a meta-gene that gives her a rather potent sonic attack. It is able to damage and stun foes as well as objects, to the point of shattering metal. Because of it, she has an incredible degree of control over her vocal chords. She often has to warn her friends to cover their ears when she is about to use it. If done without restraint, it is able to do terrible harm, such as break ear drums and even cause aneurisms.
Mimicry:: Laurel has the ability to be able to mimic sounds and generate any sound she desires, even including male voices. This part of her power has led to he developing many other abilities through practice and the help of her mother.
Sound Disruption:: A remarkable ability to disrupt sound and sonic powers through the use of a sonic cry.
Sonic Powered Sleep Inducement:: Her sonic abilities allow her to actually induce sleep upon her living targets, much like her mother.
Skills:
Martial Arts Master:: Her mother was the one who taught her a lot of the fighting skills she knows. Skills that her mother had learned from Wildcat and Richard Dragon as well as Wonder Woman. She had been determined to learn everything her mother could teach her and is skilled in everything she has been taught. Her favorite fighting styles are Tae Kwon Do and Dragon Style Kung Fu.
Master Tactician and Strategist:: She is a leader at heart and has her mother's sense when it comes to strategies and leading. While she may be the youngest of two, she is strong headed and a quick thinker when it comes to having to make improvising in her plans.
Harmonica Player:: To get a better handle of her Canary Cry as a child, her mother gave her a harmonica to hep train her. Through it's use, she trains and practices her control over her voice. And it gives her something to do when she is incredibly bored.
Master Acrobat:: Ever since she was younger, she showed an interest in gymnastics and it came quite in handy when she had been starting to work with her mother with martial arts. She often uses her skills as an acrobat to evade incoming enemy fire.
Master Archer:: This is something she learned from father. And something that she loved learning when she was growing up. She can't fire as many arrows as her dad, but she can fire close to it. About 27 arrows a minute.
Swordsmanship:: Swords aren't her preferred weapon, but she is rather good at using them, having been trained to use her father's katana. She might not be able to keep up with people who use swords constantly, but she is able to at least hold her own for a little while. She does, however, know how to use them to deflect incoming objects such as other arrows.
Cooking:: Another ability not really needed in fighting but she learned to cook from her father and is the only one to ever be given her fathers old 'Green Arrow's Chili' recipe.
Expert Motorcyclist:: Yet another skill she got from her mother. She is an expert at motorcycles. She is even rather skilled at fixing her own bike.
Peak Strength, Speed, and Reflexes:: Her strength, speed, and reflexes are at peak conditions from vigorous training and practicing.
Quick Learner:: She is a rather quick learner. She loved to learn when she was younger and, with her excellent memory, she learned quickly.
Singing:: Laurel is a great singer and singing is also a marvelous way to train her voice, right?
Multilingial:: While in school, she had decided it was necessary to learn a few different languages to try and help in case she had to do business with companies or heroes that didn't speak english. The other languages she speaks include french, spanish, german, itallian, and japanese.
Parkour:: Being that she doesn't exactly fly and has to doa bit of running, Parkour is something she is quite adept in. She found it especially helpful for rooftop chases.
Weaknesses:
1.) Strained Vocal Cords - When she has strained her vocal cords, which is entirely possible, she isn't able to use her powers until they have healed up. After all, her powers are completely vocally based. If one cannot use their vocals, how can one use vocal powers?
2.) Mortality - While she is a metahuman, she is not immortal and can very easily be killed through any normal means.
3.) Sickness - When she is sick, she is also not able to use her voice. She really shouldn't be going out to do her hero thing whatsoever buuut that has never stopped her in the past.
4.) Family - She is very much a family oriented girl and loyal to her family, and she means the entirety of the Arrow family. As such, her family is a great weakness to her. Were something to happen to any one of them, she would do anything to help them, protect them, or even avenge them.
5.) A Broken Heart - Many years ago, she was in a relationship with a fellow titan and it didn't exactly end on the best of terms. And while she hates to admit it, she still has some feelings for him, buried deep within her broken little heart. She gets nervous when it comes to new relationships because of this, not wanting another heartache.
6.) Bunniphobia - She knows it's silly but Laurel has an insane fear of rabbits that came from dreams she used to have as a child. You see, in her dreams, the rabbits would keep multiplying and multiplying and multiplying and she would constantly wake up thinking she couldn't breathing, feeling like she was being suffocated by these rabbits. While she'll do her best not to show it in public, she still feels quite a fear of them.

THE REST
Personality:
Spolied - While often ignored, Laurel grew up getting everything she could have ever wanted served to her on a silver platter. If she wanted something, she got it. And if she couldn't get it from someone, she bought it. She was the definition of spoiled. Don't get her wrong, she's just as quick to give her money away. She's just someone who expects things to happen, to get things that she wants. Because in the end, she seemingly always gets what she wants. And that's just the way she likes it.
Strong Willed - Another word that she likes to replace with stubborn, once she has her mind set on something, she isn't very likely to back down. This stubborn streak also seems to help her willpower and is thought to be indominable, however that's likely not true. Everyone has a breaking point, and hers was her old flame, no matter how fizzled out it is now. Still, the point is, her stubborn nature seems to be what helps to keep her alive sometimes. She's just too stubborn to give in, to die even. Wonder where she gets that stubbornness from.
Smart - Highly intelligent even if she doesn't always act it, she has a degree in business and a degree in psychology but neither of those actually seem to matter. No, rather, she prefers to use her intelligence more so for planning, strategising, not her degrees. Heck, she's still going to school, considering even transferring to Gotham to further her education and be closer to the Birds of Prey. No, her intelligence only matters in planning and in fights. After all, that's what's gonna help keep her alive.
Blunt - Blunt to the bitter end, Laurel isn't one to bite her tongue when talking to people. She tells it how it is and likes to make it clear when someone is pissing her off. She was raised to tell people how she feels and she is often quick to do so, even if she ends up raising her voice or having to poke them in the chest. An eyeroll here, a snobby comment there, it's all apart of her personality. And, honestly, she likes to believe it's apart of her charm as well.
Flirty - Being a child of Olly's, it's only seemingly customary that she would be a bit flirty. She likes to think it's just in her genes. While she can be rude and stubborn, she can also be quite charming and has been pretty much taught since birth to smile pretty, know how to use your words, give a good front to keep up the family name. And, while on occasion she has been known to draw a little blood when in costume, she does pretty well with using her charm and flirtateous nature to keep her name in check.
History:
Born the middle child of Olly and Dinah, Laurel grew up revering the heroes her parents had once been. She loved them, cared for them, looked up to then, but a good bit of the time it seemed like Drake was getting all the attention. She loved her brother, sure, but the elder boy was the one who got the attention while Laurel felt like she had to beg for it, at least from her mother. Her father, on the other hand, spoiled his little princess. But his attention didn't seem to be what she usually wanted. It didn't help that, by the time she was nine, there was another sibling to worry about, another person stealing her family' attention. But she wouldn't let that really decide how she felt about them.
Growing up wasn't exactly eventful for her. She went to boarding schools, got the best education, and when she was home, she begged to be trained like she was going to be a hero. Because, in all honesty, she knew it was what was going to happen. She had something to prove. And that being that she was just as good as Drake, who, by the time she turned twelve, was already doing the hero gig. She begged and she pleaded, "Let me fight, let me help save lives!" until the day her father finally caved. It started with simple defensive maneuvers and her first bow and arrows. None that could cause true damage, of course. But slowly as she aged, she started showing signs of a meta-gene.
It was during a small hissy fit she was throwing over being allowed to become a sidekick that her 'canary cry' first happened. It hurt their ears, their heads, but it got her to shut up real quick. She had even covered her mouth and opened her eyes up wide, as if to say 'was that me?' From then on, her parents and even her brother took turns training her, as Lilla needed to be watched and cared for as well. She was happy, though. Finally, she wasn't just the underdog!
It was her first year with the Titans that the war happened. She was fifteen at the time, Lilla was nine, and Drake was twenty two. Drake was in school at the time and her mother and father had argued about who would stay behind. In the end, Olly went to fight in the Battle, insisting that Lilla and Laurel would need their mother in the end. Thankfully, Olly didn't suffer much damage and was one of the few survivors of the Battle, though it cost him in the end and, after that, he was no longer really able to fight and retired from heroing. Soon after, he became a senator.
After the Battle, Laurel tried to be a bit more serious and less of a spoiled brat. She eventually became the leader of the Teen Titans and, for a while, was even dating one of their members. She had thought it was going spendidly until it came to a sudden end. And while she suffered from a broken heart, Laurel decided to not let kt really effect her. Instead, she over compensated by working more, occasionally accidentally hurting criminals more than she meant to. And,by the time she was twenty, over compensating with partying and drinking.
After her time with the Titans, she became a member of the Justice League, dropping the name Speedy and taking the name Emerald Siren. She wanted to be her own person, wanted to make her own name. And making a name is pretty much what she's been doing for the past few years. She goes to school, smiles pretty, acts like a good little Queen, even reformed the Birds of Prey, even though, in the end, she doesn't always seem to be taken too seriously. As if she is taken for granted. But she won't let that bother her. She's stronger, she's an Arrow, and more importantly, she is a Queen.

Sample RP:
((In response to Mid-Day Robbery Fun))
Rooftops had always been a fan favorite of Laurel's. They made for excellent perches and stoops and, often times, she could see almost anything from them. One might be wondering what the little blonde was doing in a city like San Fran, especially in costume at this time of day. The answer was to that was simple. She was in San Francisco for a few days in order to visit with the Teen Titans. It was something she did from time to time. Being a former Leader of the Titans as well as being a current Justice League Council Member, she found it her duty to check in from time to time. See how they were doing, help them out with something little, that sort of thing.
Laurel felt she had plenty of time to get to the Tower, though. She wasn't in any rush. After all, she was in town for a few days! With her hood down and her mask own, her grey-blue eyes scanned the area, trying to find something she could easily use to stretch her legs and have a bit of fun. The flight over had been a bit rough, mainly because the local airport tried arguing with her over landing the Arrow-Plane. She seriously needed to get herself a bit more credibility. Using her own name seemed to make it a bit harder at times.
Laurel was just starting to stand up in order to make her leave when something flee past her and the sound of sirens filled the air. Finally, something fun to actually do. She took off, running as fast as she could as she notched a Net Arrow and got ready to let it soar. Meta-Humans, they were always so much more exciting! Just as she was pausing to aim and release the arrow, though, some speedster run up and past her, throwing off her aim. "Shit," she muttered, lowering the bow again in order to start moving after them. She just needed to get one clean shot and she could have that flier grounded. But of course, there was a speedster in the way.
