As the daughter of Eris, Iris Deyanira is seen as a lone wolf at school. She has a strange fascination for the physical forms of humans and animals, always slipping in extremely dark humor in her words. She cannot help the nature of her destiny and is quite troubled to attend Ever After High, where the laws and regulations of bloodshed are very strict. Either way, that does not stop her from bringing around textbooks of the human anatomy or browsing libraries for the most infamous serial killers.

## Character

### Personality

A degenerate, Iris is rather morbid. Unlike goths or punk rock kids, she adores black for the wrong reasons. It is the color she sees when sticking her head into a lion’s head or the last color someone sees before they are struck dead. Iris keeps to herself, often finding social events too “vanilla” for her tastes. Because of this, she is terrible at small talk -- always finding ways to revert the conversation to her rather strange interests. For instance, if asked how the weather was, she would respond “Better if it were raining brains.” Of course, conversations like this are frowned upon and causes everyone to become uncomfortable. Her speech is as black as her darkest lipsticks, and whether she does it on purpose or not, it is never clear.

Iris has the ability to make anyone jealous of anything. With a snap of her fingers, smoky wisps of cackling envy surround her victim, engulfing them in deep anger. Like the pinkish evil hue one gets while under the Dark Queen’s influence, Iris’ own jealous powers have the person’s eyes glow a deep green. A "green with envy", if you will. She finds this ability very entertaining and uses it to her own advantage whenever she needs to find a distraction from her boredom. She has broken up a lot of couples in the past just from trivial things, considering that jealousy is much more powerful than love. On top of envy, Iris is able to create discord from thin air, waving her hands to make things upside down. From this power, she is a favorite amongst the Wonderland citizens, especially Maddie Hatter and Kitty Cheshire. Sometimes, the school has to bound her hands when it comes to exams as she can change the questions easily and make the teacher speak in incoherent languages. Her official power can do a number of things rather than just envy-- she can cause misunderstandings between two people, amplify a single emotion of another and so on.

Iris is often described as a femme-fatale -- someone who crushes the patriarchy underneath her seven-inch stilettos. Her personality and fashion sense matches this title which warns others to stay away from her or get wrecked. She knows she looks good and she knows she’s someone who would give Aphrodite a run for her money. Some whisper rumors that she is part of a girl gang that mercilessly slit the throats of the gossipers. It was never confirmed by Iris, but this type of rumor only powers her. Iris is aware of those who look at her wrong or think about dropping something into her lunch meal and let’s just say they never gave her eye contact ever again during her “talks” with them.

Ever so petty, Iris follows along with her mother’s footsteps and gets irritated with small things that don’t go her way. It may seem bratty, but it is justified by many discriminating her just because of her background. If she isn’t invited to the hottest house party thrown by her peers, she might just drop an apple of discord into that building. Iris wants to always be invited everywhere, but once she attends them, the event is left in ruins. It is tenfold worse when she is given too much to drink. This is why many people trick her into a wrong address, but karma bites them in the rump when her rage is bigger than her discord.

### Hobbies and Interests

#### Opera singing

Iris had always loved singing, even if she knows that her voice isn't top tier quality. Her favorite genre is opera, as the love stories in these musicals are so beautiful and tragic, much like herself. She has cried several times over Phantom of the Opera and shed many tears at Beauty and the Beast. With her affinity for the theater arts, she looked up tutorials on the Mirrornet to attempt to sing some opera. Over time, she had developed her vocal chords to hit high notes that she wouldn't have beforehand. Whenever she is feeling upset, she would hum a few notes or rewatch romantic soap operas.

#### Makeup

Iris has her own Wootube channel that showcases her makeup. She usually does dark and gloomy makeup and does not have a lot of subscribers, unlike her best friend, Romeo, whose numbers are in the millions. Still, she invites him to broadcast with her, doing collabs and first impressions. Iris has quite a lot of makeup, most of which are from sellers who have affinities in gothic aesthetics. Iris is comfortable in front of a camera and sometimes stream for her viewers, always announcing that she loves them.

### Appearance

Standing at about 5’7, Iris is slightly taller than most of her female peers. She has ivory pale skin with jet black hair to sharply contrast her complexion. Her eyes are a bright greyish blue, more blue than grey, however. Her outfit consists of apple motifs and a controlled chaotic skirt with many types of fabrics of different patterns. The top of her dress is a draped fabric, relating to the classic dress style of Grecian culture. A golden leaf laurel is adorned on top of her head - an heirloom passed down by her mother. Her makeup consists of very dark and smoky colors, mostly black and wine red.

Her main colors are dark blue, white, gold and maroon.

## Myth: The Judgment of Paris

Eris (/ˈɪərɪs, ˈɛrɪs/; Greek: Ἔρις, "Strife") is the Greek goddess of strife and discord. Her name is the equivalent of Latin Discordia, which means "discord". Eris' Greek opposite is Harmonia, whose Latin counterpart is Concordia. Homer equated her with the war-goddess Enyo, whose Roman counterpart is Bellona. The dwarf planet Eris is named after the goddess.

#### Iris’ Role

Eris is a goddess deemed unattractive and never to find love from anyone. One of the reasons was because of her chaotic nature that she cannot help but greatly embraced. She starved for affection, spending many lonely nights by herself, contemplating about her life. She felt that Eros has cursed her into being a single person forever. She wistfully looked at the children of Aphrodite and Eros, even setting eyes on Hades’ descendants. Growing depressed, she descended into the Underworld, finding peace with speaking with the lost souls. She eventually fell in love with a young man who had died under unfortunate circumstances, never have lived his full life on the surface. His story touched her heart and the two had more heartfelt conversations from then on. She found herself visiting the Underworld a lot more, much to Hades’ and Persephone’s confusion. Eris found strange excuses such as wanting to care for Cerberus or offering to monitor the Styx river.

As time went on, the young man also fell in love with Eris, able to spend some nights with her. She didn’t think it was possible, but she later found out she was pregnant, as confirmed by Athena herself. Elated, she celebrated with her lover, only to find out she was not allowed in the Underworld anymore. Zeus pieced the facts together to find that Eris has committed an unforgivable crime and was therefore banished to her own Discordia realm hidden within Olympus. Eris gave birth by herself, a healthy baby girl in her arms. She named her child Iris, after the flower of depression. Eris was only able to provide her daughter with the basic necessities as the other Gods had no mercy for a newborn babe carrying the name of Chaos. Eris knew that this was no place for a growing girl, and after saying goodbye, she mustered all her energy to open a portal outside her realm. Wrapping Iris into a basket, Eris threw her daughter through the portal, her tears fell with her child as Iris descended into the Underworld, floating on the Styx river.

Iris was found by a boat rower, shocked to see a child with a soul in the place. He left his boat to search for the owner, assuming that someone dropped their daughter within. After a few minutes of searching, he decided to just leave her on his boat and continued with his job. After a few hours, he found himself rather attached to the child, as it was a while since he’s seen a baby. It was then he decided to raise her as his own, feeding her with the pomegranate trees that grew around the Underworld (thanks to Persephone). He managed to find her shelter in certain caves and often carried her in a sling when he was on the clock.

As Iris grew, she began wandering away when her guardian was working. She was mischievous at a young age, her mother’s charm starting to show. She eventually wandered up to Hades’ doorstep when she was five, managing to slip under his radar and meeting Diavolos in his playroom. Right away, the two hit it off, managing to be best friends under a few hours. He wondered why she was like him: fleshy and coherent, but didn’t question it as he was happy to have someone to keep him company now.

Iris stayed amongst the shadows of the Underworld much until her teenage years. It was a modest home if you could call a cave covered in blankets and curtains with a fire pit a home. From there on, her guardian knew that it was time to let her go. At first, she was puzzled, thinking that her home belonged in the Underworld. Her guardian gently smiled at her, handing her a golden laurel to adorn her head as well as a flyer to the Mythology program of a school. It was then that he finally told her that she was the daughter of the infamous Eris, the goddess of Discord. The news didn’t take her well, as all her life, she believed she was a lost soul. No, in fact, she was a demigod, and that information should be taught to her accordingly. Iris was upset, not wanting to leave her guardian, but knew that this path may be the only way to find her mother and ask her all the questions she had been asking herself such as: “why did she abandon me?” or “why drop me off in the Underworld?” Before leaving, her guardian gave her one last hug, mentioning that she looked exactly like her mother and that he missed Eris greatly. Iris then left, knowing in her heart that her guardian, was, in fact, her real father.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Eris, Goddess of Discord

Iris does not know much about Eris, but was told a lot of things from different people. Some say she was relentless and a bit insane. Others say she is a nuisance and it was her fault that Hera has insecurities. Only her father said Eris was just a lost person herself, scared and alone. Pushing away all chaotic stereotypes, she was actually quite sweet and genuine. Iris didn’t know what to believe, but she decided she will draw her own conclusions when she meets her.

#### Guardian

The only person Iris loves in the entire universe is her guardian. He had been there for her since the beginning and he could have easily let her die if he didn’t pick her up. Iris owes her whole life to him and promises to fulfill her destiny in order to get him out of the pit of lost souls. She believes that he deserves a second chance in life, and would one day help him get that life back.

#### Eranthe "Erin" Discord

Who knew that Iris had another family member? Iris grew up thinking that she was all alone with only her guardian to keep her company, along with Diavolos and Romeo. Little did she know, upon entering the Mythology program, she was hit with the news that she had a sister very close to her age in human years. Iris was shocked, and more importantly, angry that Eris left her alone to find this out for herself. She, at first, despised Erin so hard, she would go long lengths to ruin her life, but since Erin had the same power as she does, the plans were never fruitful. The headmasters only marked this up as a minor discrepancy and waved her off, which made Iris take things into her own hands. She wanted that Eris destiny and believed Erin did not deserve it, given that she was so indifferent to it in the first place.

From then on, Iris started following Erin around, annoying her to no end. She would throw golden apples at her chanting "Switch places with me" over and over again. She even called Erin in the middle of an exam to say those words again. She even wrote the sentence in magic marker in front of Erin's dorm room. It may seem petty, but Iris had not other choice, given that her powers did not work on her half sister. Until Erin gives up, Iris wasn't going to.

### Friends

#### Diavolos P. Hades

Since a little girl, Iris adores hanging out with Diavolos, enjoying his company and stories. She would sneak into his playroom window just to show him a weird creature she picked up off the river. They would play with one another until they hear his parents entering his room to feed him. That was when Iris noticed she was great in hiding until his parents leave. It was almost like cheating when it came to hide and seek.

As they grew up, Diavolos invited her to go up with him to Olympus, where all the gods and goddesses confer or party. She would agree, disguising herself every time. Sometimes she was a “cousin” other times she was Aphrodite’s daughter, as everyone knows Aphrodite loses track of her child count. This was where she met Romeo V. Cupid, immediately drawn to his fun personality. Diavolos, Iris, and Romeo found that they adored each others’ company and often hung out whenever it was time for another Olympus conference. Soon, the three were inseparable. They claimed they will be a trio forever and nothing can tear them apart.

Years went by and the trio grew older and that was when Iris noticed that her two best friends were growing distant from her. She didn’t think anything of it, as they acted the same around her when the three were together. Life went on and she attended Diavolos’ and Romeo’s chariot fights, cheering them on and supporting their interests. It when she was looking for them before their competition when she caught them kissing. So that was why they were ignoring her -- they were in a relationship with each other: and didn’t have the decency to tell her. They also gave her half-baked excuses on why they couldn’t hang out with her or why Diavolos stopped bringing her up to Olympus. Iris grew resentful, angry, and most of all, revengeful. They were lying to her the whole time.

These two were her best friends, and she didn’t know why she had to take revenge on them. Probably it was the fact they ripped her heart apart or how they hurt her feelings? Whatever it was, it was despicable. Ever petty, Iris hit the pinnacle of her powers pulling off the biggest discord and chaos she’s ever created in her life -- and it was to ruin Diavolos and Romeo. She waved her fingers, commanding Zeus to pit the two together to fight. She amplified the bloodlust within Romeo and the rage within Diavolos, on top of making the cage impenetrable in case someone wanted to run in and break up the fight. It worked -- the two lovers fought each other without mercy and it grew so wild that the arena caught on fire that even Hades could not put out. Iris watched as Diavolos nearly pierced Romeo’s heart with a spear, to where she finally realized that she had gone too far.

Then, R̸̡̠̙͉̣͓̻̩̭̺͎̒̅͂̃̈́Ë̷̢̡̛̹͔͇̮͇̥͙͇͍͕̳͓̳̞͓̌̽̈́̑̿̅̀̆̅͗̕̚͝͝Ḑ̴̡̩̞̮̘̰̫̰̮͖̰̘͕̝̘͈̝̰̖̻̈̾͆͑̆͂͂̈́̐̐̏̅̓̋͆͝Ą̴͓͖͛̈́͛͘C̵̢̨̗̜̤̝̙̰͙̝̺̻̩̻̦͈̪̙̰͊̃̒͋̌̇̆̒̅̀͑̋̏͌̿̽̄͆͛̊̔̿̅̌͒̇̄͋͠͝T̷̢̮͍̯̖̗̰̥̳̻̗̒͊̈́ͅE̶̺̝̹͈̞͕̹̺̩̻͙̙̰͉̊͆Ḑ̸̡̰̩̖̯̹͔̯̹̞̠͈͉͕͓̟̫͈̦̰͔͔̭̿̆̆̾́̈́͋̔͐̏̿̚͘͜͝͝ Error: romeo vs diavolos.doc not found

In the aftermath, Iris knew she did not want to recall it. Diavolos and Romeo broke up, now ignoring each other like the plague. They never wanted contact again and Iris knew it was all her fault. She felt the guilt of a thousand suns that she separated the two people she cared for forever all because of a petty reason, but she would never tell either of them that. Instead, she lives her life with that guilt, hanging out with Diavolos and supporting him with whatever he liked. He considers Iris a great friend to him, but little does he know that he was friends with a traitor.

#### Romeo V. Cupid

The same story goes with this son of Eros. The only difference is that Iris hangs out with him whenever Diavolos is not present. She would travel up to Romeo's room to listen to his woes and participate in his seances. Iris knows that the only reason why he even fools around with the supernatural with blood sacrifices is that of how much he misses his ex-boyfriend of the Underworld. The horrifying spirits that he summoned drag themselves from the ground and fill the room with darkness; this reminds him so much of death that he keeps doing it. She keeps her mouth shut about it, only looking to support him in his strange hobbies, as well as avoid his weird cat roommate.

Iris is the only person besides Percy that Romeo is willing to hug without sexual tension. Sometimes, he would hold her for a long time just because he needs someone to comfort him. Given that they are practically brother and sister, he treats her like one, though oblivious to what she's done to him in the past. She does not mind sleeping with him either if that would calm him down. Iris had amplified the bloodlust in him a long time ago, but for some reason, it has not gone away. He still has an affinity for bloodshed, which is quite disturbing in her opinion. Still, she hadn't found a way to get rid of it yet.

#### Juniper Regina

Juniper is the best gal pal Iris could ever ask for. Since Iris only has two close guy friends, Iris would tell everything to Juniper. Their hangouts are usually full of gossip, rude remarks about that person on the other side of the classroom or full of hugs that Iris refuses to let go. At first, Iris would see her as a dumb blond that she can have as a part of a pawn of her game, but realized over time that she was amazing to be around. There was a lot of support given by Juniper that Iris just forgot about her original plan. Now, Iris and Juniper are closer than ever and she would tell Juniper her deep secrets which she trusts her to keep. A usual day between the both of them usually is just Juniper sitting on her lap, flirting like a couple and getting tipsy during school hours. She was glad that Juniper is a part of her life.

#### Heather von Olympus

It seems this friendship between the both of them are beneficial, to say the least. Heather is very adamant on making Erin the next Eris, but Iris finds that since this was happening, she might as well befriend the enemy of her enemy. This leads to a lot of planning behind Erin's back, but Iris would do anything to make that destiny her's. Even though she likes both Juniper and Heather, she would relay gossip between the both of them, most of which are untrue just to see them duke it out while she watches. After all, Heather must be proud that an Eris daughter is living out that Eris legacy, right?

### Pet

Iris prefers to keep to herself, but often carries around apples which can sort of count as a pet? Any apple she touches immediately turns into another material, like gold, platinum, or diamonds. This is thanks to her discord powers.

### Romance

#### Apple White

It is no secret that Iris has a thing for apples and Apple White is no different. Iris finds herself rather infatuated with the queen bee of Ever After High, trailing after her sweet golden delicious scent. Iris finds herself tongue-tied around the blond, though her crush was nothing more of admiring the beautiful girl she’s ever seen, and of course, she would never make a move. After all, Iris sees Raven Queen and Darling Charming competing for her hand, and even with her half deity title, knew she could not compete. Therefore, she denies any feelings she has for the next Snow White and buries those thoughts in the back of her mind.

#### Harmony Concord

Harmony is the other half of her powers and Iris seems to be annoyed to hell about it. With her pristine and goody two shoes way, Iris is ultimately definitely cursing the Olympian gods for making her room with such a prissy girl. She does everything in her power to get away from Harmony, even hissing in defense and clawing at the air when Harmony got too close. Iris tells everyone that she hates Harmony with a deep passion, but deep down inside herself, she found herself completely infatuated with such a beautiful girl. She was pure and nice and precious.... how couldn't she fall in love? With her crush, she refuses to let Harmony know about it, which is why she keeps her distance. She only told Diavolos about this crush and all he had to say was "Gods, you always talk about her. Just bang already."
