The Origin of Thea's Scar
Thea Queen acquired a noticeable scar on her cheek when she reconnected with her brother, Oliver Queen, in season 8. This specific mark was not merely a physical characteristic but held a significant backstory. Thea later disclosed to Oliver that the scar was inflicted upon her by Athena, who was the leader of the Thanatos Guild. This revelation provided insight into Thea's activities and challenges during her time away from Star City, indicating her continued involvement in dangerous encounters even after she had stepped away from her active role as Speedy.
