Her name Arisia is taken from the Lensman novels by E.E. Smith (Lots of people believe the Green Lantern Corps was patterned after the Lensman series).
With her golden-yellow skin, hair and eyes, and pointed, elven ears, she was certainly one of the most attractive Green Lanterns.
Well next to Kilowog at least.
Arisia had a huge crush on Green Lantern Hal Jordan (which didn't hurt her appeal any, since Hal is still one of the most popular Lanterns ever).
And of course as happens to many super heroines, she died.
But she came back!
No one dies forever in comic books except Bucky and Uncle Ben.
(Wait....Bucky's alive.....oh well).
Anyway, Arisia is back to her inter-galactic ring slinging and all is right with the world.
At least in the DC Universe.
