She could have full speed abilities, or even some meta power we don't yet know of. While The Flash likes to pay homage to comic characters and plotines, it never feels beholden to interpret them exactly as they are written, so who knows that (1) if this is Dawn (2) her powers are the same as in the comics. In the comics, Barry and Iris have twins named Dawn and Don, who both inherited a fraction of their father's speedy abilities. After all, if she is Barry's daughter, she likely inherited his desire to tinker with the timeline as often as possible, like going back and changing the past. unless that is also part of DeVoe's masterplan, and the whole Allen family through the ages is being caught up in his web. The one calculation DeVoe may not have been able to make is one of Barry's progeny coming back to save him. Which brings us back to the question of: who is the girl? As mentioned, the most prevalent theory is that she is Barry and Iris' daughter or granddaughter who has sped to the past to help free Barry from Iron Heights and clear his name. (Remember "this house is bitchin'?") We've also seen them appear on The Thinker's face (before he swapped bodies), which could mean they didn't originate with the Speed Force, but are in fact a way to defeat DeVoe. First, when Barry was freed from Speed Force prison and still pretty crazy at the start of Season 4 he was writing those symbols everywhere. If those symbols look familiar, we've seen them a few times before on the show.
