Safiyah Sohail is a former police detective of the Star City Police Department. She is the elder sister of Fatima, an old friend/the ex-girlfriend of Oliver Queen, an old friend of the late Tommy Merlyn, and a good friend of the late Laurel Lance. When Oliver needed help to track down the maker of Vertigo, he went to McKenna for the police's file on the Count. Shortly after, McKenna and Oliver started dating and began a romantic relationship. At the same time, she was chosen by Quentin Lance to be his partner in uncovering the Hood's identity.
However, Safiyah's police career was halted when she was shot by Helena Rosa Bertinelli and became temporarily paralyzed. As a result, Sohail had to move to Coast City to live with her sister and undergo physical therapy. Her relationship with Oliver subsequently came to an end, though they continued to remain on good terms while remaining separate from one another. She later returned to Star City where she became a member of Team Arrow.
