Character ask game: Iris West?

Similarities: –We’re both older sisters! –We’re both WOC 💞 –We both dislike physics

Differences: –She’s much more outgoing than I am –Very different love lives 😅 she and I are around the same age in the early seasons, but I’m not the dating type and haven’t gotten engaged yet, unlike her –Very different career paths (medicine for me, journalism for her)

#character ask game #iris west #iris west allen #the flash #the 'different love lives' thing is largely bc i'm muslim while she's not 😅 muslims don't tend to really date #relationships (aka marriage since we skip the dating phase) are much more of a family affair for us #where the families of the potential couple will discuss things and see how well they would mesh together #(which ofc also includes seeing if the potential couple is suited to each other. like an unofficial background check sorta)#and ofc the couple gets a say in whether they even WANT to marry each other #(which is what makes arranged marriage NOT forced when the custom is properly practiced. there should always be choice involved)
