Mia grew up without Oliver in her life, so it makes sense that she doesn’t feel a strong connection there.
Katherine McNamara joined Season 7 of Arrow as Blackstar.
However, when it comes to her mom, she’ll want to make Felicity proud, even though she has no clue that her mom went to meet The Monitor after saying goodbye.
Fans speculated about whether or not she was really Felicity and Oliver’s daughter hiding in plain sight, but it wasn’t until halfway through Season 7 that her true identity was revealed as being Mia Smoak.
