Description
12/16/19: Little detail updates to background/history
9/23/19: Made some changes to her bio and her look to go along with~ in S2 Caitlin is 15, in S3 she is 17, while she used to be 17 and then 19. Sooo, some changes had to be made to the ~lewk~. Also some S3 bio updates!
ps: The blonde doesn't look quite right to me so if anyone catches what's off I would love to know what you think!
4/17/19: Hello, Booster Gold has entered the chat
But here it is- an updated ref!
I felt like though her uniforms defenitely gave off speedster vibes, they didn't really line up with the specific speedster vibes in YJ, so I wanted to change that
also a biiiiiig thank you to kalon-is-peachy for the sick redesigns she did, I tried to work them in along with my own ideas (but mostly hers ngl)
A breakdown- The first one is her Earth-3 look, very inspired by Johnny Quick. Second one is her first look on Earth-16, when she first joins the team and such. After Wally's death, I imagine her going through a bit of an identity crisis and decides to drastically change her look (3)(Because of Wally's death and also her struggling relationship with Barry and wanting to kind of distance herself a little from him). She later leaves the team and when she returns she changes it slightly again (4).

Pre-Team History/Origins:
Caitlin was born on Earth-Three to parents Nora and Henry Allen, the same parents as Barry Allen from Earth-One, but on her Earth Barry was mysteriously killed as a child. She never got to know him, as he died before she was born. Her family moved to Central City when she was four and that’s where she grew up. Her father was a doctor who took up a position at the Central City General Hospital, and her mother was a stay at home mom. When Cait was 8, the Crime Syndicate first came to power, blackmailing world governments into complying with their rules.
When Caitlin was 12, she was at a school dance at her middle school when a few bullies started bothering her. She was used to the bullying, because her dad was employed by the Crime Syndicate who were not the most popular. The bullying had always been just verbal teasing, but this time they started to push and poke her. She tried to run away, only getting away from them once she made it outside into a thunderstorm. She sat on a bench outside, crying for a few minutes. One of her friends started to walk outside since she had been looking for her and saw her get struck by lightning. She tried to help her, but before she could Johnny Quick appeared, picked her up, and ran off.
She woke up from a coma 3 months later, and the first person she saw was Johnny Quick. She was confused, but not angry. Most people on Earth-3 did not like the Crime Syndicate, but since her father had worked for them she was indifferent. Johnny Quick revealed to her that she had been struck by lightning and had been immediately brought to a location where the Syndicate’s scientists had been experimenting on her, trying to recreate the speed force like in him. He declared that they had finally gotten it right, implying many previous failed experiments, before offering to train her. She was especially curious as to how they brought her there immediately, but Quick just brushed it off, stating they had been monitoring lightning strikes for that very reason. She was still confused as to what exactly had happened to her, until she stood up and her leg started to vibrate. She looked at Johnny in shock, and having not much of a choice, accepted his offer of help.
For the next few years, Johnny Quick trained her, focusing a lot on how to access the speed force so she could get faster. She grew to dislike him and the Syndicate because they were cold, didn’t let her see her family or friends, and tried to make her kill (Though she never succumbed). However, she didn’t have a choice but to help them as if she ran away, she would have no chance fighting him off, so she did her best to appeal to them and gain their trust to earn more freedom. She did make friends with one of Owlman’s proteges named Talon (Jason Todd), because he also refused to kill, though only civilians. Even though she and Jason became close, she kept her hate for the heads of the Syndicate. She also joined the Young Offenders, the Crime Syndicates teenage enforcers.
After a few months, Quick let her start patrolling with him, and eventually when she was 14 on her own. A few months later she began patrolling with Talon, and the two developed an intimate relationship and started dating. One night while patrolling alone, she was ambushed by a few members of the former Justice League, a group that had been a thorn in the Crime Syndicate’s side for a long time. She recognized them as Outback, Black Cat, and Flora. They captured her and brought her to an abandoned warehouse, where they interrogated her, trying to learn important information. She tried to tell them about how she had been wanting to escape and didn’t want to help the Crime Syndicate, but they didn’t believe her. It was only when Johnny Quick and Scream Queen invaded the warehouse and tried to set her free that she decided the League could be her only way out of the Syndicate, and fought back at them. Only then did Outback, Flora, and Black Cat realize that she was telling the truth. They help her fight off Scream Queen and Johnny Quick, and though they didn’t completely trust her Black Cat made the call to bring her to one to one of their smaller bases.
After a few days she met the rest of the now named Justice Underground, which in total consisted of Outback (Digger Harkness), Alexander Luthor, Black Cat (Selina Kyle), Flora (Pamela Isley), the Jokester, Marksman (Floyd Lawton), Intellect (Vril Dox), Three-Face (Evelyn Dent), and Quizmaster (Edward Nashton), Harlequin (Duela Dent). Black Cat and Marksman agree to train her in hand to hand as well as help her find better ways to use her speed, and she worked to earn their trust and slowly joined the resistance permanently. Luthor also ‘homeschooled’ her, and she soon became quite knowledgeable in the fields of physics and thermodynamics, specifically in how those fields related to her speed.
She soon started to fight the Crime Syndicate for Justice Underground. She knew it was risky, but she decided she couldn’t not help. She ran into Jason a few times, and each time they each tried to convince the other to join them, with no avail. Her choice to fight however, ended up being a fatal decision. The Syndicate knew who she was and who her family were, and having enough of her disobedience Owlman authorized a killing spree, killing all her family that she had ever had contact with, as well as most of her friends and classmates. As the Crime Syndicate raided their base only days after killing her entire family, Luthor revealed a trans-dimensional device he had created and that he hoped to send her to Earth-16, an earth that he deduced she would be safe on. She turned around as she turned on the device, and the last thing she saw was Luthor being stabbed by Owlman.
She was found unconscious by CCPD, who called Barry as a CSI to help identify her. When he saw her, he immediately recognized her as a speedster by her similarities to his suit and returned to the crime scene as the Flash, insisting that he knew her and he would take care of her. In reality he had no idea who she was, so he brought her and the mysterious device she was holding to Star Labs. He also called Batman and Robin, who he hoped could help figure out who she was.
When she woke up she had an inhibitor collar on and the first person she saw was Batman. She was confused, as he looked very similar to Owlman but was clearly not as he would have already killed her. Batman started to interrogate her, and she kept telling him the same thing, that she was from another earth with an evil superpowered Crime Syndicate that she had been fighting. He refused to believe her, but they called Superman to see if he could tell anything different about her physiology, which he did, using his x-ray vision to see that her heart was on the opposite side of her body than them. Batman, never being one to fall for a villans tricks, also called in Martian Manhunter who read her mind and confirmed that she was telling the truth. Knowing they would now believe her, she revealed her real name, Caitlin Allen. When she told them this, Flash, who had just been observing, was intrigued. They took a DNA sample from her, and a few days later confirmed she was his sister.
He revealed his identity to her and that she was biologically his sister and though she was shocked and still processing the odd information, she agreed to move in with the Garricks. In her travel between dimensions, Lex’s device was fried and ultimately destroyed so her focus was set on fixing it or finding another way to get home to see if anyone else survived the attack, and back to Jason to convince him to join her. After a few months Barry convinced her to start being a hero again, though her main focus didn’t change. She slowly got back in the game with the encouragement of Dick and Troia, who had extended an olive branch and offered their help adjusting to the new Earth, and joined the team a few months later.
Her first few months on the team were rocky. Troia had already left the team by the time she joined, and Dick was too busy leading to pay her any special attention. Dick did ask Barbara to try to befriend the out of place teen, which she reluctantly does, but to her surprise the two hit it off immediately and their friendship blossoms over the next few years. After this, she starts to build relationships with other members of the team such as Zee and later Cassie.
By season 2, though only on the team for about six months, experiencing the compassion and attention from many members that she had been lacking for so many years helped her grow into a more confident, though still socially reserved person; but it’s progress. At this point she’s even one of the older members of the team, and especially when Impulse arrives she helps take on more of a mentoring position to him. This worries her at first, because she doesn’t trust herself very much but Bart also helps alleviate some of her insecurities; even helping her move on from Jason and start to date Jaime.
After Wally’s death, Kaldur and Artemis convinced her to remain on the team. She stayed on the team for another few months before she decided to take an extended break. She and Jaime agree to break up, but remain good friends and stay in touch. Her relationship with Barry had also strained during this time, as the two were both mourning and didn’t understand how to comfort the other.
She continued to do occasional freelance work, helping out Nightwing or the Team when absolutely necessary. After graduating high school and talking with Virgil, Tim, and Cassie she agrees to rejoin the team. This is when she meets Arrowette, Spoiler, and Thirteen, who she is happy yet surprised to find out is Jaime’s new girlfriend.
By the start of season 3, she is still reacclimating with the hero life and is becoming frustrated with Luther and how he treats the League. She doesn’t quit with Batman, but as a senior member on the team she continues to remind M’Gann of what’s important. When Beast Boy starts the Outsiders she is initially wary of the idea, but after seeing their positive influence she joins them before their mission involving the Reach ships.
— About Her —
General Personality: Caitlin is a generally sarcastic person, and a lot of the time people don’t know if she’s joking or being serious. She likes to make people smile and laugh, but is a bit introverted and struggles to make the first move when making friends. This meant she found it difficult to make friends on the team for a few months. She struggles because she is very insecure about making new friendships, as the ptsd from all her friends being murdered on her Earth still haunts her.
Good Traits/Habits: Loyal and determined, when she sets her mind to something she won't give up. She always fights for what she believes in and has strong opinions, but gives her all.
Bad Traits/Habits: Her stubbornness often turns into a difficult thing, and if she’s in a mood there’s almost no getting her out of it, though many on the team have their ways. She isn’t very experienced and often rushes into situations thinking she is invincible because of her speed, which often puts herself or others in danger.

Distrust
Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman (grows to become friends with him)

Love Interests: Jason Todd, Jaime Reyes, and Brion Markov (briefly)
Special Relationships:
Jason Todd: On her earth her and Jason were very close, and started to develop a more romantic relationship as they got older. Eventually they had a few run ins and a soon a falling out when she started working with the JL. She continued to see the good in him, but he refused to switch sides to join her.
Jaime Reyes: When she and Jaime first meet they relate over their shared naivety and grow a strong friendship. They have an emotional moment when Artemis dies and start dating, but break up when Caitlin goes freelance. They see each other around and eventually reconnect years later, and eventually marry and have 3 kids.
Dick Grayson: She and Dick become close very quickly after she arrives on Earth-16, when he takes her under his wing and convinces her to join the team. They continue to be close friends, and though they have a bit of a rough patch through Dick’s poor judgment involving Kaldur’s double agency, she still trusts and respects him more than anyone.
Wally West: Quickly becomes an older brother figure to her and someone who is always trying to be there for her. She fills his shoes on the team. His death is the cause of her falling out with Barry, as the grief simply hits them both too hard.
Cassie Sandsmark: joined the team after her, and was much less experienced, but the two quickly hit it off and become close friends.
Barbara Gordon: Babs was another one of the first on the team to reach out to her, and the two have a friendship that has grown exponentially throughout the years. After her accident, Caitlin was one of the first who was called, and the two still make sure to stay in touch regularly.
Virgil Hawkins: the two become close after Virgil joins the team, and regularly consult each other for advice, comforting, or just someone to be with when they need it.
