History[]
Early Life[]
Lisa Snart is the younger sister of Leonard Snart, also known as Captain Cold, and was born after 1980. Her father, a corrupt police officer named Lewis Snart, was abusive towards her and her brother until he was sent to prison. As a child, Lisa would often go to a diner named the Motorcar with her brother and grandfather, located across from Central City Precinct. After Lewis was imprisoned, Lisa was raised by her older brother.
Season 1[]
After Leonard and Mick Rory were captured, Lisa Snart intercepted the transfer vehicle to break them out. She disguised herself with a blonde wig, flirted with Cisco, and took him to her safe house where she revealed herself as Leonard's sister.
Lisa and Leonard then threatened Cisco to build new guns for the Rogues and also had him build a gold gun for Lisa. They later attacked the Santini crime family Casino and had a gunfight with the Flash. Lisa was captured by the Flash, but Leonard revealed he had captured Cisco and threatened his life, allowing them to make a clean getaway. Back at their safe house, Lisa and her brother found Mick Rory beating up Cisco and his brother, and Lisa got him to stop. Later, she helped Rory and Leonard steal money from the casino, but was nearly knocked off the road after the Flash took her brother.
Lisa destroys evidence against her brother, Leonard, using her gold gun after Barry steals it from the police. Barry still wears his mask, indicating that Leonard did not reveal the Flash's true identity to Lisa. Lisa then drives a truck filled with meta-humans to Ferris Airfield and asks Cisco to give her a code name, which he chooses as "Golden Glider". After releasing the meta-humans, Lisa says goodbye to Cisco before leaving.
Season 2[]
After the singularity event, Lisa approached Barry with concerns that her brother, Leonard, had been kidnapped. They discovered that Leonard was working with their father, who had implanted a bomb in Lisa's neck. Barry pretended to be a bomb technician to assist them in their next heist, while Cisco was on standby to remove the bomb from Lisa's neck. Leonard killed their father to save Lisa, and Lisa kissed Cisco before leaving on her motorcycle.
Personality[]
At first, Lisa appears to be a stereotypical criminal mastermind who is selfish and only cares about her own interests. She is manipulative, cunning, and always looking for the next big score. She has a tough exterior and is not easily intimidated by others, even those who are physically stronger than her.
However, as the series progresses, Lisa's personality becomes more nuanced. She has a softer side that she only reveals to those she trusts, such as Cisco Ramon. She is fiercely loyal to her family, especially her brother Leonard (Captain Cold), and will do whatever it takes to protect them. Her love for her brother Leonard is so strong that she even takes up his mantle as the leader of their criminal gang after his death.
Lisa is also intelligent and resourceful, with a talent for hacking and engineering. She has a sharp mind and is able to adapt to different situations quickly, making her a formidable opponent for anyone who stands in her way. However, she is not without vulnerabilities, and her love for Cisco and her desire to do the right thing ultimately leads to her redemption and transformation into a reluctant hero.
Overall, Lisa Snart is a complex and compelling character with a multifaceted personality. Her loyalty, intelligence, and willingness to change make her a fan favorite and a valuable addition to the show's cast.
