Sayd is a fictional character in the DC Comics universe. She is a now exiled member of the Guardians of the Universe. Where most of the Guardians are void of emotion and rigid in their compliance to standard policy, Sayd's sensibilities are more in line with those of Ganthet, a Guardian known for his non-traditional mindset. The two are exiled (in part) for their love for one another.
Background
In Green Lantern #150 Kyle Rayner (as Ion) relights the Central Power Battery on Oa and restores the dead Guardians to life. However they were restored as children in a mix of male and female, instead of adult males (their original forms). Sayd was one of the reborn members of the Guardians of the Universe, and one of the six female (out of twelve total) members of the organization.[1]
Book of Oa
In Green Lantern #24, Sayd reads a forbidden chapter from the Book of Oa, which foretells of a prophecy of cosmic revelations: "The Blackest Night". When the threat of the Sinestro Corps endangers the entire multiverse, Sayd addresses the incident to her colleagues as a sign from "The Blackest Night". The other Guardians dismiss her concerns and ignore the prophecy, assuming it to be folklore. She protests when the other Guardians rewrite the Book of Oa, but she and Ganthet are ignored and banished from their council for "acting on emotion" (an accusation which includes the two apparently being in love with one another).[2] She and Ganthet later appear on Earth, to trap Parallax inside the four Earth-based Lanterns' power batteries; after which Ganthet offers Kyle Rayner his old power ring back (after being freed of the fear entity and no longer serving as Ion).[3]
At the end of the Sinestro Corps War plotline, Ganthet and Sayd are shown living on the planet Odym. There they harness the blue energy of hope; one of the lights of the emotional spectrum. In preparation for "The Blackest Night" and motivated by their hope for life in the universe, they plan the formation of their own Corps: the Blue Lanterns. Combining their abilities to form the first blue power ring, both Guardians evolve into two new beings capable of hope for others and each other.[4] The first recruit welcomed to their new Corps is Saint Walker, who assists them by beginning a chain of new Blue Lanterns inducted sector by sector.[5][6] Among Ganthet and Sayd's plans to combat "The Blackest Night" are to have Hal Jordan lead the Blue Lantern Corps (powering the entire organization with his willpower), and also to form an alliance with the Indigo Tribe.[7]
Blackest Night
At the end of the Agent Orange plot line in Green Lantern, Ganthet, Sayd, and the Blue Lanterns find themselves being attacked by a platoon of Orange Lanterns led by a construct of Larfleeze, who has arrived on Odym (by proxy) to obtain a blue power ring.[8] They are eventually rescued by Hal Jordan, who is accompanied by Sinestro, Carol Ferris, and Indigo-1.[9] The visitors take Saint Walker, Ganthet, and Sayd to locate the real Larfleeze and Atrocitus in their goal of gathering a member from each Corps in order to create a white light (composed of each of the seven lights of the emotional spectrum) that will destroy the Black Lantern Corps. Both characters are resistant in joining the uncomfortable allegiance; Larfleeze demanding his own Guardian after learning that the Green, Blue, and Black Lantern Corps each have one. In order to placate and recruit him to their cause, Sayd offers to relinquish her freedom and pledge her devotion to him if he agrees to accompany them (despite Ganthet's protest).[10] After arriving at Coast City, Sayd and Ganthet are two of the heroes who make a stand against Nekron and his army; including an attempt to free the Guardians of Oa trapped by Scar in the Black Central Power Battery.[11]
