McKenna Hall

Detective McKenna Hall is a temporarily-former police detective of the Starling City Police Department. She is also an old friend and the ex-girlfriend of Oliver Queen, an old friend of the late Tommy Merlyn, and the sister of an unnamed woman. When Oliver needed help to take down Vertigo, he went to her for the police's file on The Count. She later went on two dates with Oliver and shared a kiss with him. She later began a romantic relationship with Oliver. McKenna at the same time was chosen by Quentin Lance to be his partner in finding the Hood's identity. This romantic relationship, however, ended after she was shot by Helena Bertinelli, and became temporarily paralyzed. Due to this, she had to move with her sister to Coast City, which she claimed has the best physical therapy facility in the country.
