Iris is the first child of Bart Allen and Cissie King-Jones-Allen. She is currently the de facto leader of the latest incarnation of Young Justice, and goes by the code name Bolt.
Iris was born on March 15, 2011. As the only child in the family for five years, Ick was spoiled rotten by her dad. She shadowed him everywhere (unless he was out on a mission, and then she was attached to her mom) until she went to school.
Ick has always been wise beyond her years, and the adults around her often remarked that she was "five going on fifty". She came out to her parents when she was thirteen. She had a massive crush on her adopted-cousin Lian, but figured nothing would come of it. The two danced around each other for a couple of years, just hanging out all the time as friends. Lian was adventuring with the Arrow Family as Speedy, and Ick decided she wanted to be a costumed adventurer, too. When she was fifteen she managed to talk/whine her parents into letting her start training as an archer. It turned out that she was good at it, and she joined the Teen Titans as an alternate, with the codename Bolt, wearing a costume loosely inspired by the Green Arrow. But orange. She also started training with Cassie Sandsmark in martial arts and the use of non-bow weaponry.
She goes by the nickname Ick to both differentiate her from her first cousin (once removed), Iris West, and because she thinks the name Iris is gross.
Ick is the wild child of her family. She constantly gets into trouble for disobeying the rules, but she's also a good kid; she'll never hurt anyone just for fun. Most of her disciplinary problems at school have come from her sticking up for smaller kids against bullies. She loves her family, even though she'll never admit it out loud, and she thinks her parents' constant public displays of affection are gross. But in a good way.
It was believed that Ick had no superhuman abilities, and her parents were perfectly happy to keep her out of that life.
When Ick began training as an archer, her mother realized that she had an uncanny talent for hitting her target. After some testing, it was discovered the Ick's Speed Force powers manifested in her as superhuman visual acuity.
As the oldest of the second generation of YJ, Ick takes responsibility for the younger kids. She's a total daddy's girl, but also looks up to her mother (when they're not all fighting, since she is a teenager). She adores her Uncle Kon and thinks he's the coolest superhero ever.
Ick is currently dating Lian Harper, much to her dad's dismay (because of the six year age difference).
Ick is the creator of the Icktionary, a collection of words that she and her siblings and friends have coined over the years.
Ick's PB is Erin Kelly.
