Wally is, first and most obviously, the goofball of the team. If there's a joke to be made about something, he'll make it. This is not to say he can't be serious when the situation calls for it, but hiding behind bad jokes and sarcasm is easier than showing your actual emotions. He often hides behind his status as the class clown so he can keep living in denial over certain things. When Black Canary called him out on his outburst in response to Artemis's "death" in the failed simulation, Wally simply plays it off and jokes about it. She tells him that he is in denial and all he does is shrug and say he's comfortable with that. To be fair, being a teenaged superhero, it's probably easier ignoring feelings in favor of doing the job. Of course, just because Wally jokes about everything and ignores ignores his crush on Artemis, doesn't mean he can't express any other emotions. On the contrary, if Wally is passionate about something, he'll let you know.
Or if he thinks it will get girls to like him, he'll lie about it. Wally has since grown out of this mostly, but there was a time he would pretend to like things that he otherwise had no interest in in an attempt to get girls to like him. One instance of this happened when the team was investigating the disappearance of Kent Nelson, Wally quickly gets called out on his bullcrap "magic rules" act after his lying nearly gets the team a dip in a pool of molten lava. Long story. After being called out, he begrudgingly states that magic cannot and does not exist. Wally believes that all magical acts have some sort of trick behind it. Kaldur'ahm, the team leader, states that Wally doesn't believe magic exists because it's something he cannot comprehend. Wally would much rather throw himself into the world of science, since that's something he understands completely.
If food didn't exist, science would be Wally's one true love. He is a science prodigy and was easily able to recreate the experiment that granted his uncle his superspeed in his basement. The results of Wally's experiment were a bit different from the original one, but the final product was still basically the same. His knowledge of scientific things has helped the team on more than one occasion. Ranging from being able to recognize the formula for a new strength enhancing drug, building an EMP, and being able to tell Red Tornado how to keep a volcano from erupting. Science is something he has control over, it's, for the most part, something stable and understandable and having something like that in a world constantly in danger of being destroyed can keep a person sane.
Science isn't the only thing Wally has at his side, of course. He is fiercely loyal to his family and friends and has healthy relationships with them. It is shown that Wally and his parents make up one extremely happy family. Wally's parents love and support him, and in return he feels that he's able to tell them anything. He even felt comfortable enough to take Conner/Superboy to his house for a few days after the escape from Cadmus. Wally is close to all the members of his family, of course. His aunt and uncle especially.
Wally is also close to his teammates. As the series goes on they all become more of a unit and get better at working off of one another. Of course, Wally gets along better with some members of the team than he does others. Robin/Dick Grayson, is Wally's best friend in the entire universe. Their bromance can actually be seen from space. The two of them often joke around with one another and Wally is even, currently, the only member of the team who knows Robin's true identity. Wally being so loyal to his friends is actually one of the main reasons he didn't get along with Artemis at first. He believed that her joining the team, meant that they were replacing and trying to push out Speedy/Red Arrow/Roy, and Wally was quick to let his friend know that if the team had a quota on archers that they would pick Roy over Artemis. Eventually Wally and Artemis act more amicable to one another, and they only bicker occasionally rather than being at each other's throats constantly. The mission gone wrong in Bialya even showed that the two of them could have started out as friends if they had met under different circumstances.
After the mission in the Bialyan desert goes wrong, Kid Flash finds Artemis unconscious and offers to help her. To be perfectly honest, this could be an instance of Wally thinking he could get Artemis to go out with him sometime, but as the day goes on it's clear that Wally genuinely cares for her safety. He gets them both out of danger even when he is running dangerously low on energy. Later he even comforts Artemis when she is worried that Miss Martian might accidentally reveal the truth about her past when Miss M restores everyone's memories. Of course, as soon as said memories are restored the two of them go right back to fighting like an old married couple.
Even with all of his confidence, Wally still feels self conscious on occasion. He's not as fast as the Flash, and he doesn't even have all the same abilities. He has to eat constantly just so he can use his powers and function properly. He's worried that others don't take him seriously as a protege for these reasons. At his core, though, Wally West is just trying to be one of the good guys. He may crack bad jokes, talk too much, and just generally say the wrong things at the wrong times, but he's still good. He aspires to be a hero just like his mentor. Wally feels good about being good and helping people.
Abilities/Powers:
Wally is a meta human with superspeed. While he is not nearly as fast as his mentor, the Flash, Kid Flash's speed is still quite impressive. In addition to running really fast, his speed also grants him other abilities, such as:
•Creating small tornadoes by turning in small quick circles •Creating friction; so he can give you a wicked case of carpet burn •Being able to turn himself into a human battering ram/cannon ball
He also has very high endurance, which allows him to take blows and recover quickly, and supercharged brain activity. Wally has also been shown to possess some basic gymnastics skills, able to do flips and handsprings at high speeds. He is also pretty strong for someone his age and size, being able to pick up and carry people bigger than him without much issue.
Being a speedster, he, of course, has common speedster weaknesses. Wally's metabolism is hyper-accelerated, which means that he has to eat a lot to maintain energy. If he runs low on energy he becomes sluggish and slightly less coordinated than usual. For occasions when he will be out for more than 24 hours, Wally has a secret compartment in his glove for snacks. Kid Flash, unlike his mentor, needs to be able to accelerate and decelerate when running, if he tries to stop abruptly it results in falling, crashing into things, and hurting himself. He also is susceptible to normal everyday human weaknesses, being that he is still human and everything. He can still get cuts, bruises, and broken bones, but he does heal slightly faster than normal humans do.
Wally also has specially made goggles that protect his eyes from debris while running, work as binoculars, and can even see different light spectrums.
Items/Weapons:
(+) His Kid Flash suit (+) His goggles which are technically part of the Kid Flash suit, but I think would be counted separately since he carries them around in civilian wear too? (+) HIS ENTIRE SOUVENIR SHELF A small photo of him with the team
