Kara shouldn't be the Paragon of Hope
Kara doesn't make sense to me as the paragon of hope. Not that she isn't Full of Hope But there is a clear better option. first, remember that the paragons can come from any time. The way people talk about Laurel saying that "she has a light inside her" and "No one can be as good as Laurel Lance" and the way she acted using her last words to ask for Oliver to let there be another black canary, and the fact that really there was nothing exceptional to make her the canary beside her strive to do good. Hell, there is a statute of her in Star City that is a literal symbol of hope. Laurel Lance's black canary is the perfect paragon of hope
