She was born and raised in Central City. She become a detective in Central City Police Department, she and her partner Vincent Sobel were undercover to bring down Sean Sonus a powerful Mob Boss in Central City. She was made and was captured by Sonus and his men. She even found his partner Vincent and tortured him for two weeks at Sobel's warehouse. Sonus killed Sobel right in front of her. After the STAR LABS Particle Accelerator exploded it gave everyone metahuman powers. Including Dinah and Sobel. After three years later she is in Hub City and took a leave on absence from CCPD to go on her vigilante hunt after Sonus. Sonus is in Hub City, Oliver and his team heard about her and want to recruit her on their team. She is going to pass and went after Sonus herself. She has the Canary Cry as her power like Laurel Lance. She couldn't be saved after she took Sonus. When she met Oliver in Star City, when he warned her about killing Sonus wasn't going to help bring back Vincent. Dinah was more than a partner to Vincent, they were dating. She felt remorse and felt bad crossing the line, Oliver told her she was his second chance. Unlike Helena Bertinelli aka The Huntress, she felt bad and realize she took responsibility for everything. That is why she is part of Oliver's team and maybe she can redeem herself and be the person that Vincent is proud of. She became a full time member of Team Arrow and joined the Star City Police Department as a Detective.
Dinah was encouraged to become a full successor of Laurel Lance as the Black Canary. Quentin defended her from Earth-2 Laurel. However, she became estranged from Team Arrow after she was secretly meeting Vigilante, who was her boyfriend Vincent Sobel, and that Team Arrow was spying her and other members. She alongside Curtis and Rene quit Team Arrow and made their own team. Both were in civil war until Oliver was being prosecuted for his repeated murders and violating the Anti-Vigilante law, since the new Team Arrow conceded that Oliver was fighting to make Star City a better place. Both teams ended up reconciling and being one again.
When Oliver was arrested and Mayor Pollard made her the Captain, she tried to redeem the police in the public eye after Ricardo Diaz corrupted it and tried to dissuade Rene of abetting a new vigilante. When Oliver is released after a deal with the FBI, Dinah deputized him.
