Nora West-Allen (born late 2023[1]), nicknamed XS by her mother, is a meta-human speedster and a time traveler. She is the daughter of Barry Allen and Iris West-Allen[2], the future older sister of Bart West-Allen[3], and the future wife of an unnamed woman.[4]
According to a version of Eobard Thawne from 2015, Barry's daughter was supposed to be named Dawn, presumably referring to Nora in the original timeline.[5] In a previous timeline, among her early pseudonyms suggested by Lia Nelson were Lady Flash, Flash Woman, and Femme Flash, Thawne had nicknamed her Little Runner[6], and her cover identity during her brief time as a villainous speedster was Jenni Ognats.[7]
In a previous timeline, Nora went back to the past to finally meet her father and became a part of Team Flash, working alongside her parents and their friends. However, unbeknownst to the team at the time, Nora was working with Thawne, who was imprisoned in 2049, on an agenda to destroy Cicada's dagger and save Barry from vanishing in a future crisis. After Team Flash defeated Cicada by administering the meta-human cure to her younger self and destroying her uncle's dagger, Nora was erased from existence once a new timeline began to set.[8]
At some point after Nora was erased from existence, Wally West viewed multiple futures and he saw her running in one of them, indicating that she would be born at some point in the future.[9]
In the current timeline, Nora is a vigilante operating in 2049 who fights meta-human criminals such as Godspeed alongside her younger brother Bart. During one fight with Godspeed, he went to the Flash Museum and used the Cosmic Treadmill to travel back in time. Fearing that they would never find him if he got away, Nora and Bart broke their family's number one rule and decided to follow him[10] eventually ending up in the present.[3] Upon returning to 2049, Nora and Bart realized that they accidently caused "temporal fissures", so they travelled to December 2013 in order to fix these "temporal fissures".[11]
During their vigilante work, Nora and Bart faced off against Will Parker[12] as well as Magog and his allies, receiving help from various heroes.[13]
Nora also supported her mother when she was dealing her time sickness and helped Team Flash fight Eobard Thawne with he gained the powers of all of the negative forces.[14][15] Later, when the Legion of Zoom tried to kill her father, Nora once again helped Team Flash, defeating Savitar. After the battle, Nora visited herself as a baby before returning to 2049.[1]
