Mia Katharine Daerden Queen
Born April1, 1998
Born Mia Katharine Daerden, the only child of Jonathan and Sarah Daerden, Mia is the newest charge of Oliver and Dinah Queen. Mia's father, a Gateway City Police Officer, was KIA during an arrest of a known abuser while helping a woman, her children and pets out of their home on November 7, 2006. The man, an abusive partner, was arrested but Sarah Daerden never recovered from the loss of her husband.
A couple years after Sarah herself fell into an abusive relationship with Charles Gaynor, a paramilitary specialist who took her and her daughter away from Gateway City and the officers who took a personal interest in looking after the family. Mother and daughter were relocated to a settlement outside of Anniston, AL. Records of the exact events that occurred there are sealed due to pending lawsuit, but it is known that Sarah was killed on December 27, 2011 by Charles Gaynor.
Mia stayed within the camp until early 2013 when she was retrieved by several members of Team Arrow. It is assumed that Team Arrow knew the then Dinah Lance was the last close relative of the girl. She, and her history, were brought to the Queen's attention. The most common theory is that a member of the Gateway City Police Department notified the team of the girl's circumstance and her nearest relative. This has not been verified.
The Queen's quickly moved to adopt the teen, and filled a federal suit against the state of Alabama charging neglect of a minor due to the lack of any investigation of Charles Gaynor before custody of the child was transferred to him. The formal charges includes Battery, Abuse, Sexual Exploitation, and Neglect of a minor as well as Murder in the First degree for the death of Sarah Dearden. The case against Charles Gaynor was won quickly, the case against the state is hard fought. The State is contesting the charge, but in light of the charges of battery, abuse and murder quickly moved to approve the adoption in hopes of encouraging the Queen's to drop the federal case against them. The case remains open and is being looked into by federal investigators.
Mia now resides at Queen Manor. She is doted on by both her guardians, as well as being adopted as a sister by Thea Queen. She is an entering freshman at the Star City Prepatory School in the fall of 2013.
