Arisia Rrab
Arisia Rrab is a superheroine appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, usually those featuring the Green Lantern Corps, an intergalactic police force of which she is a member. Arisia is a humanoid alien with golden-yellow skin, hair and eyes, and has pointed, elven ears.
Arisia is named after the planet Arisia in the Lensman novels by E.E. Smith. Along with Eddore of Tront, she was created by writer Mike W. Barr as a tip of the hat to the groundbreaking series in his Tales of the Green Lantern Corps miniseries in 1981. Her last name is "Barr" spelled backward (note that her last name was added later, not by creator Barr).
Arisia Rrab first appeared in Tales of the Green Lantern Corps #1 and was created by Mike W. Barr, Len Wein, and Joe Staton. She is killed in Guy Gardner: Warrior #43 (June 1996). Writer Beau Smith stated that "DC wanted her dead. It was part of their deconstruction of the Green Lanterns at that time. My intent was to kill her and bring her back with powers that had no leaning to the GL Corps". Years later, Arisia is revealed to have survived due to her healing factor.
Arisia is originally from the planet Graxos IV in Sector 2815. Her father Fentara and several other family members were Green Lanterns before her. After Fentara and his brother Blish are killed in duty, Arisia is selected to replace them on her birthday, making her at least the fifth member of the family to serve as a Green Lantern. Originally, Arisia is depicted as assuming the role of Green Lantern as a teenager.
Arisia first appears in Tales of the Green Lantern Corps #1 (May 1981) as part of a group of Green Lanterns sent to thwart Krona and Nekron. She, Katma Tui, Salaak, Ch'p, and Kilowog relocate to Earth after Crisis on Infinite Earths, where she adopts the secret identity of Cindy Simpson. Arisia is first shown as having a crush on Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern of Sector 2814, who ultimately reciprocates her feelings. After being stationed on Earth with Jordan and confronted with their age difference, she subconsciously uses her power ring to age herself so that she and Jordan can be together. Arisia is among several Green Lanterns who lose their powers due to a disruption in the Central Power Battery on the planet Oa. However, Arisia decides to remain on Earth with Hal and pursue a modeling career. Their relationship becomes strained as they adjust to the changes affecting the Corps, which eventually leads to them breaking up.
After her break-up with Hal Jordan, Arisia begins developing her friendship with Kilowog. During one visit, an accidental blow to the head causes her to suffer from memory loss and return to her 13-year-old mentality. She seeks out the only person she believes can help her: Hal Jordan. She returns to Ferris Aircraft, desperate to find Jordan, and is reunited with him. After a short time, her memories slowly begin to return, yet she still is not ready for the responsibility of being a Green Lantern again. Though she initially offers to return to the Corps as Hal's back-up, like Guy Gardner and John Stewart, the idea is rejected.
Over time, her memories return completely, and she seeks Guy's help in finding the missing Kilowog. Arisia offers to go to Oa with Gardner and the Justice League Task Force, as her knowledge of Oa would be an asset to the group. Gardner turns her down due to her lack of powers being more hindrance than a help. After her rejection, Arisia returns armed to the teeth and demands to join them. On Oa, they discover the skeletal remains of Kilowog and are attacked by Hal Jordan. She survives the attack and, upon returning to Earth, begins working at Gardner's new bar: Warrior's. On opening day, Arisia learns of Hal's supposed death from Kyle Rayner, though it is not long before Jordan arrives himself, proving the rumor false. He changes Arisia back into her Green Lantern costume and offers to return things to the way they were. Arisia argues that things have changed and that he is not the man he once was, asking him to leave.
A mysterious woman with ties to an enigmatic organization known only as the Quorum tries to cast a spell over Guy Gardner and gain control of his actions. In the midst of the conflict, Major Force arrives looking for Verona and kills Arisia.
