Editing Arrowette (section)

===Bonnie King===
The first Arrowette (properly known as '''Miss Arrowette''') is '''Bonnie King''', a would-be [[sidekick]] and general nuisance to [[Green Arrow]]. She first appears in ''World's Finest Comics'' #113 (November 1960).

When Bonnie was a child, her mother Millie put her through archery training and was very controlling of her progress. She does well and ends up competing in the Olympic Games, where she wins a bronze medal. However, her mother is not pleased as she had expected Bonnie to win a gold, and harasses her daughter over Bonnie's alleged failure. This ends up driving Bonnie to abandon both her home and archery and she never speaks to her mother again.<ref name = sogiant>''Secret Origins 80-Page Giant'' #1 (December 1998)</ref>

Alone in [[Star City (comics)|Star City]], she eventually becomes inspired by Green Arrow and [[Roy Harper (character)|Speedy]] and decides to use her archery skills in a way that counted. She makes a costume for herself and names herself "Miss" Arrowette. Like Green Arrow, she carries trick arrows but with a feminine slant (such as the "Powder Puff" Arrow). She attempts to aid both archers a few times, but they repeatedly rebuff her attempts. Despite her good intentions, Arrowette turns out to be too clumsy to become a hero and too vain to even wear a mask. Arrowette briefly dates Green Arrow in his civilian identity of Oliver Queen, as shown in ''[[Justice League of America]]'' #7 (October–November 1961).

At some point, she meets a journalist named Bernell "Bowstring" Jones, who remembers her from her Olympic Games and is probably the only person to consider her a star. She nicknames him ''Bowstring'' because he is as thin as one and takes him briefly as her sidekick so he will give her publicity in his journal.<ref name = imp28>''Impulse'' #28 (August 1997)</ref> Eventually, however, Green Arrow convinces Arrowette to give up superheroism.<ref name = sogiant/>

She has to permanently give up archery due to [[carpal tunnel syndrome]] in her wrists, and also due to her job as a secretary. She talks Bowstring into marrying her and, one year later, she has a daughter they name Cissie King-Jones.<ref name=imp28/> When Bowstring dies five years later from [[Ciguatera|fish poisoning]], [[Hal Jordan]] (working as an agent for the company that holds Bowstring's life insurance policy) gives Bonnie and Cissie the policy's beneficiary check; the money enables Bonnie to train Cissie into a superhero. Cissie hardly has time to breathe between lessons of archery, judo, kick-boxing, gymnastics, ballet, and many other fields, and eventually comes to resent her mother deeply.<ref name = sogiant/>

Bonnie's name is a parody or play on Green Arrow's civilian name, Oliver Queen.
