Adara was a member of the Green Lantern Corps who survived the dismantling of the corps by Parallax during Emerald Twilight.
Engaged in a space battle with Corellian Privateers at the time, she was captured when her ring went powerless, and tortured nearly to death before she escaped and shot her way out with a laser pistol. She felt lost with her responsibilities as a Lantern taken from her, as it had been her entire life.
Adara felt hope when she ran into the last surviving Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner. After romancing him and stealing his ring while he was asleep, she discovered it wouldn't work for her, and realized she could never be a Green Lantern again.
This revelation led her to commit suicide by shooting herself with her own laser gun.
Later, Adara was shown to be memorialized in the Crypts of the Green Lantern Corps on Oa. During Blackest Night, she is resurrected as a member of the new Black Lantern Corps
