Iris

Iris, formerly Irving, is the main character of the one-shot animation "True Colors". Iris is a photographer and owner of Shutter Studios. Feeling a lack of inspiration, her magical camera grants her wish by transforming her into a woman. Iris realizes the potential of her camera, and gains new inspiration with her new body, and through helping Gaela and Jackie understand each other.
== Appearance ==
Iris has green eyes and shoulder-length blonde hair with pink extensions. Her skin is light tanned, and she wears light makeup, pink lipstick, and pink nail polish. Iris's outfit consists of stud earrings, a white halter top, blue short shorts, a brown jacket that she wears around her waist, and white sneakers. Iris also wears her camera strapped around her.
Prior to being transformed, Irving had short blonde hair, green eyes, and an average build. Irving's outfit consists of a jacket, a shirt underneath it, pants, and sneakers.
== History ==
Irving was born in Cinder Isle, Maine. He left town prior to the events of True Colors, presumably to study photography, and then returned to open up a photo store called Shutter Studios. Some time during the past as well, Irving's mother gave her camera to him, which Irving uses primarily in his business.
=== True Colors ===
Months after opening up Shutter Studios, Irving feels unhappy where his life is at right now. He feels that his work has been mundane since opening up his own studio, and wishes to find some inspiration. Unbeknownst to him, the camera that he got from his mother is magical, and can grant wishes of people whose photo is taken. Irving thinks of taking a photo of himself as a possible way to gain inspiration. Just as he takes the photo, the camera glows and sparkles for a bit. Irving poses for the camera, and the effects of the magic start to gradually transform his body.
More occupied with his camera, Irving does not notice the changes in his body at first. His height, hair, face, and hands have changed before he notices that he's transforming. He removes his jacket to see the effects of the transformation, in which he sees his shirt get transformed into a halter top, and growing breasts as well. Irving thinks that his camera caused his body to transform. While confused at first, Irving has been liking the changes so far. As the rest of Irving's body transforms, including his hips, butt, and bottom outfit, Irving thinks that this transformation may be what he needs for inspiration.
Irving decides to embrace her new self with a new name: Iris. Her crotch, shoes, and jacket transform, completing the new look. Iris ties her jacket around her waist, and continues to make some more poses in front of the camera. Iris continues doing this until her next clients arrive, and she greets them once she notices. The two clients introduced themselves as Gaela and Jackie, and while Gaela expressed her interest in taking Jackie's senior pictures, Jackie resents the idea and is annoyed at Gaela. Iris notices the tension between the two, and wishes to help them using her camera.
Before taking Jackie's picture, Iris wishes for her and Gaela to understand each other. Iris then starts taking her picture and asks her about her school life, in which Jackie responded more positively. Gaela joins in and talks to her, and the two of them start bonding with each other while Iris continues to take her photos. Jackie becomes more understanding of Gaela, and Gaela feels relieved to see Jackie open up to her. Iris captures Jackie's big smile just as Jackie goes to hug Gaela. With how effective her camera worked on her and her two clients, Iris thinks that she found the inspiration she needs, and decides to help more people like Jackie and Gaela.
== Personality ==
Iris takes a lot of pride in her photography craft. Prior to her transformation, she had felt her life to be mundane and boring, due to a lack of inspiration. Gaining her current body along with the newly-discovered powers of her camera gave Iris the inspiration in the process, and made her more lively and friendly as a result. After seeing Jackie and Gaela get along with the help of her camera, Iris also expressed her desire to help more people facing problems like them and herself.
== Abilities ==
Iris owns a magical camera, inherited from her mother. This camera can grant a wish directed towards the subject being taken a picture of. Iris first makes a wish on herself when she took her own photo, which made the camera glow and sparkle a bit, and caused Iris to be transformed into a woman. Iris then used the camera's ability on Jackie, after seeing her and Gaela not get along with each other. Jackie turns from being annoyed at Gaela to being able to talk to her about things she wouldn't normally talk about.
