The Flash Season 5 Premiere: 6 Ups & 2 Downs From 'Nora'

4. Nora West-Allen

The Flash has got a spring back in its step this season (more on that later), and one of the main reasons for that is, without a doubt, the arrival of Nora West-Allen.

When "Mystery Girl" first started popping up all over Season 4, viewers had their suspicions about who she was. Of course, we all had to wait until the season finale to actually discover that she was Barry and Iris' daughter from the future. However, this season, actress Jessica Parker Kennedy is a series regular on the show and Nora has wasted absolutely no time making an impression.

With her enthusiastic yet self-deprecating approach, she's very much like both of her parents. She's both quirky and inquisitive, which has made way for a series of great moments, and although she technically caused a few issues for those around her, her presence on the show has actually improved it.

The Flash has seen a number of colourful characters come and go over the last four years, but Nora has had absolutely no problem standing out among the pack. Kennedy is a revelation in the role and it's going to be intriguing to see how Nora changes up the dynamic as the season progresses.

As Nora might say, she's pretty "schway".
