Nora Allen

"You have such a good heart, Barry, and it's better to have a good heart than have fast legs."

- Nora Allen to Barry Allen

Nora Allen was the mother of Barry Allen and the wife of Henry Allen. She was killed by the Reverse-Flash.

Biography
When Barry ran home from school one day after being bullied, his mother assured him that he had a good heart, which was worth much more than having fast legs. Late that night, a tornado-like blur came into their home and circled Nora; in the middle of the tornado seemed to be a figure. Before Henry or Barry could do a thing, the blur murdered Nora and swept Barry 20 blocks away from his home. Following Nora's death, her murder was pinned on Henry and he was sent to jail.

Cisco Ramon deduced that although the Reverse-Flash may have been the killer, the "tornado" that Barry saw was made up of two speedsters, the other in yellow.
