Last week, we learned that actress Jewel Staite would guest star on DC's Legends of Tomorrow and that she would play a character named, Rachel Turner. We also learned that she would be a descendant of one of The CW's DCTV characters and that she'd have a tech background.
Showrunner Phil Klemmer has provided additional clues, ruling out characters from Arrow and The Flash as possible ancestors for Turner. Staite's character will be directly related to one of the members of the Legends of Tomorrow team.
"She’s related to one of our heroes. We will find that she’s not a person off the street. We are going into the most distant future that we will be visiting, and we will find that she is the biological result of something that one of our characters either directly or indirectly did before their recruitment in the pilot, in 2016. As we know, when we pull our characters out of the timeline, they cease to have an effect on the future, but this will be a sort of Ghost of Christmas Future where somebody will realize that something that they did before they left had a butterfly effect on the future that will effectively — they will have aided and abetted Vandal Savage’s rise to power."
DC's Legends of Tomorrow premieres in just 5 days on The CW at 8/7c,
