Virtue (Arrowverse)

Cecile Horton is one of the main protagonists of the CW series The Flash. She is the former district attorney turned metahuman attorney, the fiance of Joe West and the mother of Jenna West and a member of Team Flash. 
In Season 4, Cecile gained the ability to read people's minds and emotions due to latent dark matter which was activated during her pregnancy. After Season 9, Cecile becomes the vigilante Virtue. 
==Personality==
Like Joe West, Cecile needs to see someone to believe it, as she had a difficult time believing that a shapeshifting metahuman pretended to be Eddie Thawne after he shot two police officers. However she learns the truth when she is shown footage of Hannibal Bates changing. She also is a great admirer of the Flash and believed he was a hero. 
Even before gaining her powers, Cecile becomes empathetic, warm, even becoming like a maternal figure for Team Flash and understands how hard it was for Joe to raise Iris and Barry on his own. She also loves her daughter Joanie and Jenna and extends her familial love for The Wests and Team Flash.
However, underneath her exterior, Cecile is traumatized by the loss of her mother, who died of cancer when Cecile was in court. In "Masquerade," Cecile defeats Psycho-Pirate, when she was trapped in her own mind by it. With help from Barry, Cecile decided to not let this fear define her and talked to Joe about the trauma she had to endure.
