Personality
Prideful, Roy loves to be right in everything, even when he is wrong. He tries to get the last word in, especially when that word just happens to be an action. Speedy doesn’t like authority figures very much, so he tends to have a problem with Robin when they work together, though he does hold a lot of respect for him as a crime fighter.
He is patient, though, despite his hot-headedness that tends to make him push people away. He’s very good at waiting and doesn’t get bored often. He loves to play mind games though, and loves to mix people up just to see them squirm. Very independent, Speedy looks after himself rather than anyone else, or wanting anyone to look after him. This makes him not a very good team-player and not a very good team leader. Doesn’t mean that he doesn’t try, of course. He loves to be in control.
He lives and thrives over trying to figure people out. First impressions, last impressions, any impressions, he compiles them in his head and works people out like they are rubik's cubes. After he figures a person out, he judges what they would do when confronted with the result, and normally comes at them with it just to prove he was right… or to find out if he was wrong and start from scratch again.
History
Roy Harper was raised by Brave Bow, a Navajo medicine chief after his father, a forest ranger, died in a forest fire.
Under Brave Bow's tutelage, Roy became a remarkable archer, and, after Brave Bow's death, Roy was adopted by Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow, and became the Green Arrow's sidekick, "Speedy."

-Care of Wikipedia.
Roy doesn’t remember his biological father, being too young at the time that he died to have known him at all. But he was very close to Brave Bow who taught him almost everything he ever knew about archery. He wasn’t there when Brave Bow was killed, and he still wishes that he could have been there to help him father figure.
When taken in by Ollie, Roy learned another style of archery from the Errol Flynn knock-off, finding that as much as he enjoyed the traditional wooden recurve bow he had been raised with, the compound served his and Ollie’s purpose much better. After being trained in the ways of the Green Arrow, Roy took up the name “Speedy” and joined him as a side-kick.
After some time working this Ollie, Roy came to have his own ideas, wanting to go off and play “hero” on his own now and then rather than being the kid that followed the adult around. Having a different viewpoint about this, his adopter didn’t like this idea and they bicker about this constantly. However, it didn’t stop Roy from joining the Titans when it was extended to him.
Though he and Ollie don’t completely see eye-to-eye, it’s very clear that Green Arrow’s approval means the world to him. He tries to blow it off like there’s nothing that can be said or done to him that could shake him; however, he does take it rather hard when Oliver isn’t behind him in a decision. This has swayed every choice he has made, and often gotten him into trouble because of it.
