Cissie Jones is the illegitimate child of Green Arrow. Her mother Bonnie King was brutally raped by Ollie shortly after the Justice Lords were formed (apparently the power went to his head and drove him a little mad as it did the rest of the Lords). Her mother died shortly after her birth and she lived in an orphanage since before she can remember. Bernell Jones later adopted her. Bernell taught her to live off the land, He was an excellent woodsman and figured it would help them stay out of the line of sight of the Lords. Even though Bernell preferred the shotgun Cissie took to the bow (Ironically with out knowing she was taking after her biological father) and seemed to have a knack for it. She soon became as good at hunting as her adopted father. One day during a trip into town for supplies that they couldn't make, hunt for, or grow themselves. She always enjoyed going to the library and playing with the computers on the Internet. She was doing some research into her past {Bernell had told her she was adopted when she turned 15} she discovered exactly what had happened to her mom and who her father was. She felt awful and wanted to die. Bernell noticed the change in the daughter he loved very much and asked her what was wrong. It took him almost a week to get her to tell him what she had learned. He explained to her that she was not responsible for her parentage or how she came into the world. What mattered is he loved her and with out her his life would be in complete. He told her for the first time of how he had lost his wife and daughter in a plane crash and he was the soul survivor. He went on to explain that if he had thought as she did she would still be in the orphanage and he would be in the grave. She looked up at him, and smiled for the first time in a week. He told her "I raised you to not be quitter. If something happens you know is wrong do what you can to change it or if you can't change it leave it behind you." This got her thinking. During their next trip to town she had her daddy get her some red dye and white fabric. She said she wanted to make her some new cloths. She used these materials along with the skins from the animals they killed for food to make her costume. She told her dad that she was going to join the rebellion. "I'm every bit as good as Green Arrow." Said Cissie, spitting out the last word like poison. Her father told her he was behind her all the way. Cissie Joined the Rebellion as Arrowette, and Bernell not wanting to be away from his daughter helps out as a medic.
