Arisia Rrab

Arisia Rrab first appeared in Tales of the Green Lantern Corps #1 (May 1981) and was created by Mike W. Barr, Len Wein, and Joe Staton. She is presented as a member of a familial legacy of Green Lanterns from Graxos IV; several relatives (e.g., Fentara Rrab) served as Lanterns before her. Her given name is an homage taken from E. E. Smith's Lensman fiction (the planet Arisia), while her surname, Rrab, is the creator Mike W. Barr's last name reversed — the surname was added to her published biography later in continuity.

Sources describe Arisia as a humanoid alien from Graxos IV with golden-yellow skin, hair, and eyes, and pointed, elven-like ears. As a Green Lantern she commonly wears the Corps uniform and wields the standard Green Lantern power ring; for periods while on Earth she used secret-identity aliases such as Cindy Simpson / Cynella. Visual depictions vary by comic-issue art but consistently emphasize her yellow pigmentation and pointed ears.

Arisia's principal abilities in published stories stem from her membership in the Green Lantern Corps and the power ring it issues: ring-generated constructs, flight, energy manipulation and other standard Lantern functions as employed in Corps missions. Narrative sources also credit her with an inherent healing factor that allowed her to survive after an apparent death (revealed in later storylines); she has fulfilled supervisory and combat roles within Corps conflicts and has been assigned duties by the Guardians (for example, placement over Lantern Sodam Yat). Her behavioral profile in stories includes youthful depictions, episodes of memory regression after injury, emotional relationships with other Lanterns, and demonstrated agency in using her ring for personal ends (such as altering age appearance in one storyline).
