Iori

==Summary==
Iori is an enigmatic woman also known as The Purple Tear, one of the exalted Color Fixers of The City. Bearing an unexplained ability to scry and traverse across the infinite multiverse, Iori's made a multitude of connections to powerful and important people and always seems to have her involvement pop up in the most unexpected spaces. She's trained several other Color Fixers to get them to reach their peaks: Kali, the Red Mist, Argalia, the Blue Reverberation, Angelica, the Black Silence, and Roland, the second Black Silence all owe some of their prowess to her mentorship. She played a role in the events of Library of Ruina by influencing Roland to seek out the titular Library in the first place, influencing Olivier to make an attempt on Angela's life, entering The Library herself to be killed and used as a keypage against Argalia's Reverberation Ensemble, and even via planting some advice in Roland's head that would come back to him at just the right moment, resulting in the release of the Light and the subsequent resurrection of Iori. Past this phase, she's last been seen in combat with Vergilius, the Red Gaze, absconding with Tomerry for unknown reasons.
While Iori's machinations can be complex and obtuse, her true goal is not. She's ultimately attempting to engineer a set of circumstances which somehow allow her to see her son again, who has been dead for 40 years, and she's willing to go to world changing lengths to achieve this.

Attack Potency: Multi-City Block level (As a Color Fixer, Iori is in a similar ballpark as Gebura power wise, with Gebura even having been one of her past pupils. In addition to her, Iori has trained other Color Fixers such as Argalia and Angelica, as well as similarly strong fixers like Roland and Olivier. Defeated Vergilius,Leviathan Book 1: Christmas Eve a Color Fixer himself and Roland's choice for most dangerous Fixer in The City, without taking the fight entirely seriously. Combat dialogue implies she's fought Binah before), higher with amplifications and Sin (Iori's stances amplify her actions taken of the corresponding stance type, Snake Slit provides a substantial power boost on each use, Violet Blade is affected by amplification twice as heavily compared to what's standard, and Iori seems to have been the one to discover "Sin" as a technique utilizing the Light. With Sin, Vergilius was able to enhance strikes which were breaking bones and tearing organs yet failing to incapacitate into a strike which Leviathan Book 12: The Corridor / Shin (心) / Mang (望))
Speed: Massively Hypersonic (Much faster than Index Proselytes capable of deflecting bullets at extreme speeds), far higher in bursts (Iori's Mirage Storm attack allows her to rapidly attack up to five enemies on her level with multiple attacks before they're able to respond in kind)
Lifting Strength: Class M (Capable of clashing with librarians using other Star of the City level keypages without losing her grip on her weapons, including Binah's ensnaring chain attack)
Striking Strength: Multi-City Block level, higher with amplifications and Sin
Durability: Multi-City Block level (Capable of taking hits fellow Color Fixers such as Gebura and Vergilius, and even hits from the Arbiter Binah. Seemingly ordinary clothes are often reinforced to offer protection that substitutes for armor,Library of Ruina as shown by Vergilius' coat negating attacks made by members of the Eye.Leviathan Book 13 - Rifts Iori has been depicted as particularly resistant to slashing and blunt force damage on her level), higher with amplifications and Sin
Stamina: Superhuman (Superior in stamina to Vergilius,Leviathan Book 1: Christmas Eve who was capable of holding off an indefinitely expanding army. Augmented endurance is very common among combatants in the setting, especially at high levels. Examples of this include Grade 4 Fixer Pameli surviving long enough as just a head to be evacuated and transplanted onto a hastily cloned body of Pamela, Index Messenger Yan surviving the removal of a significant chunk of his head long enough to be found by Proxies, a Docent of the Ring remaining in fighting shape even after being punched through by Vergilius in a manner described as breaking bones and tearing through organs,Leviathan Book 12: The Corridor / Shin (心) / Mang (望) and a member of the Rabbit Team itself being .Wonderlab Ep 21 - Hookah Caterpillar(6)) 
Range: Tens of Meters (,Leviathan Book 1: Christmas Eve) Interdimensional with teleportation (Capable of traveling between universes, as well as traversing different floors of The Library)
Standard Equipment: Three swords, one each one specializing in a different type of damage (slashing, stabbing, bludgeoning) and her reinforced clothes.
Optional Equipment: T Corp. Assassination Device: Iori procured a subtle contact weapon for Olivier which paralyzes the victim before forcing them to experience 1,000 years in the span of one second, ruining the mind of the victim.
Intelligence: Genius. Iori describes having the capability to conceptualize a myriad of possibilities far too vast for a normal mind to handle, and is known for regularly having very long running plans in the background. Among these plans was essentially the entire plot of Library of Ruina, given her involvement in sending Roland to The Library in the beginning which even would involve planning around her own death and revival. She's known as a mentor to many prominent figures, including a variety of Color Fixers such as The Red Mist, The Blue Reverberation, and The Black Silence, in addition to people not technically classified as Colors at the time but still at such a level of proficiency such as Roland and Olivier. Likely the most skilled combatant depicted in her franchise so far, only really having Roland as competition. 
Weaknesses: Iori's power has some sort of ambiguous cost associated with it. She doesn't time travel, due to not wanting to run the risk of causing a paradox.
Notable Attacks/Techniques: 
File:PurpleSlash1.png|Serpent Sword Technique
File:PurpleSlash2.png|Snake Slit
File:PurpleSlash3.png|Violet Blade
Slashing Stance: Iori adopts a stance suited to the usage of her slashing sword. This increases the power of all of her slashing attacks, while also causing her victims to sustain 1.5x the damage she would otherwise inflict.
*Serpent Sword Technique: Iori slashes twice.
*Snake Slit: Iori slashes twice, then dodges. These cuts induce heavier bleeding than normal, and this move substantially boosts the power of other slashing attacks made at a similar point in time.
*Violet Blade: Iori swings a powerful singular stroke, then sets up an automatic slashing counter attack. Her swing is twice as impacted by any kind power changing effects, be they amplification or reduction, which in tandem with her numerous abilities to bolster herself results in an extremely powerful attack.
File:PurpleStab1.png|Snake's Prey
File:PurpleStab2.png|Venomous Fangs
File:PurpleStab3.png|Laceration
Piercing Stance: Iori adopts a stance suited to the usage of her piercing sword. This increases the power of all her stabbing attacks, while also allowing her to inflict double the amount of any sort of pervasive status effect she ordinarily would, mostly allowing her to inflict extremely heavy bleeding with ease. In addition, this stance clears up the effects of any such pervasive statuses that would try to work on herself, meaning she'll only be momentarily effected by a wide variety of effects.
*Snake's Prey: Iori thrusts twice, inflicting heavy bleeding. This maneuver causes all bleeding she causes in the immediate timeframe to be more severe, even outside those two thrusts.
*Venomous Fangs: Iori thrusts twice before defending, the thrusts inflicting severe bleeding and weakening the defensive integrity of the target.
*Laceration: Iori thrusts twice before defending and establishing an automatic thrust parry. Her stabs, including the automatic parry, inflict massive bleeding and weaken her enemy's offenses.
File:PurpleStrike1.png|Great Serpent's Impact
File:PurpleStrike2.png|Strike Down
File:PurpleStrike3.png|Duel
Blunting Stance: Iori adopts a stance suited to the usage of her blunt sword. This increases the power of all her bludgeoning attacks, while also causing her victims to stagger 1.5x as quickly.
*Great Serpent's Impact: Iori defends, then swings twice. Her first strike recovers some of her footing if it hits, and the maneuver as a whole causes her bludgeoning attacks to have an easier time staggering her foes.
*Strike Down: Iori attacks with a heavy swing before defending, with this swing recovering some of her footing if it hits.
*Duel: Iori again attacks with a singular heavy swing before defending. This swing will diminish the enemy's immediate capabilities, causing their next actions to not work as well, and her defenses share this effect. In addition, she establishes an automatic striking defensive parry.
File:PurpleGuard1.png|Parry
File:PurpleGuard2.png|Serpent Barrier
File:PurpleGuard3.png|Identify Weakpoint
Guarding Stance: Iori adopts a defensive stance, increasing the power of all her defensive maneuvers including dodging. In addition, she becomes outright immune to all status effects, which ends up conferring a lot of resistances.
*Parry: Iori establishes both an automatic dodge and an automatic blunt parry.
*Serpent Barrier: Iori establishes three layers of strong automatic defense.
*Identify Weakpoint: Iori defends, taking a moment to identify the weak point of her target, then attacks twice, those two attacks taking the form of whatever her foe is most vulnerable to.
File:Purple13.png|Mirage Storm
Deaddocent.webp|Vergilius using Sin
All: Iori's moves aren't hard stance locked, but certain stances are more suitable for certain moves than others. Mirage Storm and Sin, on the other hand, are techniques she's prepared to employ at all times.
*Mirage Storm: Moving even faster than usual, Iori rapidly attacks an entire group, switching from weapon to weapon throughout the whole sequence. Her slashes inflict more harm than usual, her blunt strikes stagger her foes more than usual, and her punctures cause heavy bleeding and weaken her victim's offenses.
*Sin: Iori has discovered a means of discreetly using the Light, rather than needing it to all manifest at once as an E.G.O. or Distortion, which allows her to achieve massively increased effectiveness by striking more with willpower than with the body. Vergilius' use of Sin has been shown to enhance strikes from breaking bones and damaging organs to tearing open his enemy's entire back.Leviathan Book 12: The Corridor / Shin (心) / Mang (望)
Passives
*Manipulator of Odds: Iori can use Probability Manipulation to undo worst case scenarios, once per individual attack or defense (meaning this can trigger multiple times per move).
*Dimension-Walker: Iori's teleportation can be used mid-fight, faster than foes can respond to it.
*Changing Stances: Iori's stances provide power buffs and other side benefits, described above in their sections, beyond what's achieved from simple footwork.
