IRyS

IRyS, also known as HOPE, SeisoRyS and YabaIRyS, is an English Virtual YouTuber endorsed by hololive.
== Charactah Account ==
IRyS, a half-demon, half-angel also known as a Nephilim, once brought hope to "The Paradise" during the ancient age. Her full name is ███████ Irys. This current era, riddled with despair and desperation, has brought upon her second awakening. She has arrived to deliver hope, with her feelings put into her lyrics and songs, and determination in her voice.
Though she tends to retain her Nephilim form, IRyS is still quite young within her race. With emotion and "other factors," it is possible that her form may lean to either side. When that occurs, she bears a brief change in her appearance.
IRyS does not speak of the events that preceded her second awakening. She faces ever forward, perhaps because she is Hope Incarnate, though no one knows for sure.

== Trivia ==
* IRyS is a nephilim, a half-angel, half-demon being.
** The term "nephilim" appears in the Bible (Genesis 6:1-4; Numbers 13:32-33), where they refer to an ancient group of people sometimes interpreted as giants or fallen angels, beings who served God but were cast out for rebelling against Him. By some interpretations, the nephilim lived on Earth and intermarried with humans, but were wiped out in the Biblical flood which Noah and his descendants survived by building his ark.
** The unofficial term for an angel-demon hybrid would be most likely "Nephalem", coming from the Diablo franchise and other medias.
* IRyS likes good spaghetti with meatballs and tofu.
* IRyS enjoys sleeping, singing, PvP Games and sudoku.
* IRyS' favorite anime and manga are Evangelion, Bakuman, Death Note, Angel Beats!, Kaguya-Sama, The Promised Neverland, Gundam SEED Destiny. She also loves romance comedies and shojo manga.
* IRyS' goals are: releasing a full original album, hold a 3D debut live concert, singing an anime OP/ED song, make a lot of friends, make collaborations with every hololive member and bring hope to this world!
* IRyS' dislikes celery, heights, bugs, Santa, math, ceiling fans and helicopters.
** Despite having wings, IRyS prefers to walk because of her fear of heights.
** IRyS claims that she dislikes Santa because, as she is a half-demon, Santa Claus never visited her, forgetting that she is also a half-angel.
** IRyS claims that she dislikes ceiling fans out of two reasons, first being that she considered them inefficient and obsolete due to the advent of air conditioning, and second being that she became paranoid of ceiling fans falling on top of her ever since watching Final Destination, which caused her to develop a discomfort towards spinning objects, hence her dislike towards helicopters as well.
* In the past, IRyS couldn't stand gore and was afraid of surgeries. Nowadays she can handle it better, but still feels uncomfortable when the gore is too extreme.
* IRyS has a strong fondness for drinks and sodas, and will usually describe what drink she has prepared for the stream.
** Despite this, IRyS avoids sodas for singing streams, preferring non-carbonated drinks instead.
** IRyS drinks a 500ml bottle of soda almost every day.
** IRyS' love for sodas is so strong that she was given a "punishment" of a one-week soda ban for losing in Clubhouse Games against Hakos Baelz.
** IRyS' love for sodas is a running joke with the viewers, with viewers "attempting" to prevent her from drinking soda (with messages to the effect of "IRyS, No soda") whenever she mentions it.
* IRyS is the fifth hololive Production member to have heterochromia after Houshou Marine, Himemori Luna, Kureiji Ollie and Yukoku Roberu. She has one purple eye and one blue.
* IRyS can speak English and Japanese, making her bilingual.
* IRyS is the first member of hololive since AZKi to debut outside of a generation and is also the first one to do so outside the Japanese branch of hololive.
* IRyS often makes puns with her name, such as "HiRyS" and "ByeRyS," to name a few. She even has member badges with "RyS" and encourages her "Nephamily" to use them more often and make even funnier word combinations.
** IRyS is also known for combining her name and phrases starting with "S" when creating new usernames. The following has confirmed so far:
*** "IRySuperGlue" for Minecraft.

* In IRyS' first mini-album, Caesura of Despair, the term "caesura" refers to the ‖ symbol, a double vertical line mark used to denote a pause in a song or poetry. In the fourth track, "Caesura of Despair (attacca ver.)", "attacca" refers to music played without a pause between movements.
* IRyS used to have a childhood crush on Nintendo's Luigi.
* IRyS has a habit of doing lip rolls during streams, and has been doing them since she was young. She also uses lip rolls as part of her vocal warm up routine.
* IRyS has a medical condition of having "unstable joints," and had a habit of dislocating her shoulder when she was young. She had surgery to treat it before.
** This is the reason why IRyS avoids the "Overhead Arm" exercise when playing Nintendo's Ring Fit Adventure, and also "holds back" on related physical activities such as bowling and throwing balls.
* IRyS used to do skateboarding in the past.
* IRyS is the twenty-first hololive member to join the official Hololive Subreddit as a moderator.
* There is a fan game named "Delivering Hope" made by David Wu, it was released on 19 July 2022 to celebrate IRyS's one year anniversary. Featuring her as the main character, the game simulates how IRyS gives hope to everyone by throwing her and seeing how far she goes.
* IRyS has a habit of wrapping bananas in plastic bags and putting them into the fridge. 
** This was brought to light during a Jump King stream in which IRyS was unwrapping her banana while on voice chat with Nanashi Mumei, Ceres Fauna, and Mori Calliope. The noise took the other members by surprise, and as a joke IRyS called it the "Windy Banana".
