Iris West (Earth-2899)

is a journalist for the Central City Picture New, a former waitress, and a Journalism graduate student. Iris is also the daughter of Joe and Linda West, the older sister of Wally West, and the long time friend and girlfriend of Barry Allen.

At school Iris met Barry Allen and the two became best friends, though Barry secretly harbored a crush on Iris that he was never able to vocalize during their childhood. Ironically, Iris held those same feelings for Barry, and though the two never acknowledged their romantic interest in each other until they were both well into college.
