AGE: 17
GENDER: Cisgender female
TEAM: Titans
SIDE: Hero
OCCUPATION: Student
NATIONALITY: American - ethnicity is biracial.
HISTORY: Kristy grew up the youngest child of Wally West and Linda Park-West with her older siblings, Irey and Jai. She knew from the time she was little that her family was made up of heroes. All she wanted, growing up, was to become a hero like the rest of her family. When she was twelve years old, her powers manifested, making itself evident when she'd gone to go to school, but ended up speeding straight into the door of the school building, though thankfully no one had been around to see that. Later that week, her official hero training started. She trained with her dad, siblings, and other members of the Flash family as well as the occasional Justice Leaguer and their sidekicks. She enjoyed training the most when she got to see sidekicks she'd grown up knowing, such as Joshua Wayne, Travis Kent, Olivia Queen, and Nathaniel Curry as well as some others. She officially became Kid Flash when she was thirteen, after training for almost a whole year.
Her first year as Kid Flash was hard. She stuck by her family's side, if not her dad, then her siblings, or Bart Allen. She learned quickly, and mostly the hard way, what her strengths and weaknesses were in fights. She quickly became a target for villains such as Zoom, though most of the Rogues wouldn't try to hurt her much, instead targeting her dad or siblings. One day when she was fourteen, she went on a mission with Bart, who had started going by the codename Impulse again. They'd ran into Zoom and another kid speedster, who she'd later learned had taken Thaddeus Thawne's place as Inertia. While Impulse fought Zoom, she clashed with Inertia. He was faster than her, stronger than her. She had barely managed to hold her own before Irey and Wally had gotten there to help her and Bart, though she'd later learned that Bart had held his own against Zoom better than she had with Inertia. That had been the first time her confidence as a hero had been shook.
She kept on fighting crime as Kid Flash, though. She had team-ups with Justice Leaguers and members of Young Justice over the years she continued on as Kid Flash. She's recently joined the West Titans in Jump City, though she still proudly considers herself a sidekick to the Flash. She chose to join the Titans because of her father's tie to the team. She's recently arrived in Jump City and can't wait to start fighting crime alongside her new teammates.
FAMILY: Wally West (father), Linda Park-West (mother), Irey West (older sister), Jai West (older brother), and various members of the Flash family.
PERSONALITY: Kristy is often described as a bubble of sunshine. She's very childish, but not to the point of total annoyance. She loves playing video games and eating junk food. If any part of her could be annoying, it would definitely be how hyperactive she can get. She finds it very hard to sit still and always prefers to be on the move. Her mind is constantly going as fast as she can run, skipping from one topic to the next. Naturally as a speedster, she's very quick to act, but sometimes that's not always a good thing. She can be pretty reckless and run into danger without preparations or run off to save the day on a mission before she's heard all of the orders. Her first thought in a battle is always to protect her friends, family, teammates - whoever she's with - and civilians. The safety of others is always more top priority than her own safety. Kristy's a goofball and surprisingly clumsy for a speedster, though the faster she's going, the less clumsy she seems to be. She loves to have fun, especially if it's with her friends. She can come off as pretty carefree, though that's not the case. She often has to fight thoughts that she might not be good enough to pull off the hero life. Being slower than the other speedsters can take a toll on her confidence, though she works hard at hiding that.
DISLIKES: Feeling slow, feeling useless and helpless, failing, homework, being bored, having nothing to do, being grounded, healthy food, and having to be quiet.
DREAMS: To be a member of the Justice League someday, maybe even the next Flash or Impulse.

BODY STRUCTURE: Kristy stands at five feet and eight inches tall. She's lean and thin, her high metabolism keeping her from gaining much, if any weight. She takes majority of her looks from her dad. She has long red hair, light skin, and her mother's brown eyes.
STYLE: Kristy will wear pretty much anything she finds comfy. She's not all that comfortable dressing up formally; she'd prefer to be in sweats and a tank top or even just a sports bra and yoga pants. She's very comfortable in her body so while she's not often seen wearing anything too revealing, she has no problem spicing it up and showing a good amount of skin. She often wears jeans and some graphic t-shirt, though, being a bit too lazy to dress to the full extents of her fashion style.
PIERCINGS OR TATTOOS: N/A
COSTUME: Kid Flash's costume is a replica of Wally West's from when he was Kid Flash, made of the same material as other Flash costumes to make sure it stands up against the fast speeds she runs at. She has her hair tied up in a ponytail when she's in costume. The color scheme is red and yellow with the Flash symbol on her chest. She uses goggles to cover her eyes while she runs. The design is inspired by this fanart by murrmernator on Tumblr.
ODDITIES: N/A
ABILITIES: Kristy inherited a few of the Flash family powers, though that doesn't mean she's very good at many of them. Her abilities include: (source) Accelerated Healing: Speed Force conduits are not invulnerable nor durable enough to sustain damage however if they are harmed they will heal at high speeds. Any normal wear and tear damage to their bodies are almost instantly healed. Increased Perceptions: Speed Force conduits traveling at the speed of sound may miss important events as they run by. The Speed Force grants them enhanced senses that allow them to see, hear, smell, touch and/or taste at an increased speed and understand it as it is processed. Phasing: Speed Force conduits can vibrate their molecules so quickly that they can achieve intangibility for short bursts allowing them to phase through objects. Self-Sustenance: Speed Force conduits travel at incredible speeds which cause their bodies to work overtime. In situations where their bodies may be too fast for them to breathe they may impart on the Speed Force for sustenance. However, this almost always results in the conduits having an increased metabolism at all times requiring them to constantly refill their energy supplies. Superhuman Stamina: Speed Force conduits have to access the Speed Force for a number of different tasks. Most Speedsters use their superhuman speed and react at superhuman speeds; therefore, they must run for extended periods or operate for a large amount of time. Their bodies can handle the stresses of superhuman racing without noticeable distress. Superhuman Speed: Speed Force conduits have one main ability above all else. Conduits are connected to the barrier and accumulation of all Speed known in their universe. These characters immediately understand how to run at superhuman speeds and their bodies instinctively understand how to react at high-speed situations. Older speedsters have a reduced but maxed speed of 770mph which is just below sonic booms allowing them to react to situations without causing civilians undo stress. Speedsters in their prime can travel at much faster speeds such as the max level of recorded aided speed on Earth and even reach the speed of light with enough willpower. It is possible for conduits to travel much faster than the speed of light however such levels require an incredible amount of stress. Speedsters unaccustomed to their max level of speeds may detach themselves from the Speed Force or even become part of the Speed Force by accident.[/sup]
CONTROL: Accelerated healing: 0 - it's an instant thing, she can't control it at all. Increased perception: 0, it happens on instinct whenever she runs fast enough, though she's never actually ran fast enough for it to happen, she's been told she has the potential to. Phasing: 2, she tried it a couple times and got nosebleeds each time so it's not a power she uses often. Self-Sustenance: 0, it's a natural thing, though she's never ran that fast, mostly this just causes her to have a fast metabolism. Superhuman Stamina: 0, it happens naturally, there's not much about it to control. Superhuman Speed: 8, she's had this power for several years now, having developed it at a young age, so she's had a lot of time to learn how to control it.
SIDE-AFFECTS: Self-Sustenance can be seen as a side-affect, causing her to have a high metabolism and the need to eat quite a lot in order to maintain her energy and health. Because of her accelerated healing, she can't get any piercings or tattoos. They all heal, and tattoos even fade away.
WEAKNESSES: While she has accelerated healing, like most, if not all, speedsters, she isn't bullet proof. Her healing isn't instant, too, rather taking time. Major injuries could take their toll before her body is able to fully heal them. Cold is also a weakness, as cold and speed are opposites. The cold slows her down and forces her to have to work harder to maintain a speed that normally would have been easy. She's also not the fastest of the speedsters, being slower than both her father, Wally West, and Bart Allen. This could be easily used against her.
NICE WORK YOU DID

INTRODUCTION: Was this supposed to be intimidating? She couldn't help wondering that as she stared up at the giant T-shaped tower, a backpack slung on her back. Nerves fluttered around in her stomach. This was her first time on a team. She'd done team-ups before, but her dad had told her that teams worked differently. It wasn't just simply teaming up with another hero or two for a quick fight or mission. She'd be working with these heroes for many missions, possibly even patrolling the city with them. It sounded like such a great experience to have under her belt, but... She couldn't help doubting her timing with this. She'd planned on joining the team before members of the Justice League had started going missing. But now heroes were missing. The League was handling it or so they claimed. She could easily keep in contact with her dad and siblings to keep updated, but... What if they were to go missing? She'd have Bart, but what if he went missing too? She supposed she could always contact Robin if she needed updates, but what if he didn't know anything?
She took in a deep breath and slowly let it out. She was worrying too much. The Justice League could handle themselves. They'd done it many times before, and they had probably faced far worse before she was even born. There were reasons why people put their faith in the League. She had to put her faith in them too. Though that was easier said than done.
Kristy glanced behind her, looking out at the city. The Justice League didn't need her, but this city did, right? If it didn't, why would she have been accepted into the Titans? She wasn't sure whether they already had a speedster on the team or not, but she was determined to prove her worth. Did she feel she had to prove it to her teammates or herself? She wasn't sure which one, but if she could get two birds with one stone, all the better.
"I can do this," she whispered to herself, taking a moment to compose herself. After all, who wanted to see a nervous speedster? She closed her eyes momentarily. When she opened them, she stared determinedly at the Tower. She entered the Tower at a walk, not wanting to possibly blur by any of her teammates without introducing herself. As she walked farther into the Tower, she could hear voices - she thought she even heard laughter. That helped her nerves a little. Her backpack slipped off her shoulder, and she gripped it by a handle, holding it at her side instead as she walked. She followed the voices to the living room. When the door slid open, she stared like a deer caught in headlights. When she managed to compose herself, she gave a wide grin and a small wave of her hand. "Hi, I'm Kid Flash."
