Iris Yuma/Shadow Walker

Iris's Shadow Walker is her alter-ego based from her time in the Great Void and as a her time as a SinWorker. After Iris lost to Lakasha, her memory loss causes a personality change allowing her to become a SoulWorker and forces previous personality to sleep within her as a Shadow Walker. The Shadow Walker makes its first appearance in the Scaredy Cat Radar story where the Shadow insults Iris for following the orders.

## Advancement Quest

After obtaining a Sin fragment in a Blazing Void, Iris visits her Shadow Walker to witness her true self. The Shadow Walker immediately insults Iris for following the orders of the Starry Forest League and that she should return to her former days as the leader and to do as she pleases. Iris is shocked and states that she is already doing as she wants and states that the Shadow Walker is unable to accept criticism and its mistakes. In response, the Shadow Walker states all of the effort it went through defending the survivors of the Void and tells Iris to surrender her body due to her pitiful actions. Iris notices that the Shadow Walker does not seem to care about the opinion of others and is stuck within its own personal bubble. Afterwards, Iris heads to Grasscover Camp in order to learn more about her former self from Tenebris.

Iris learns that her former self never accepted criticism or guilt from her actions and would simply blame others. She seems to easily accept that she was like this in the past and has changed to accept criticism from others. However, Tenebris warns Iris that her current power stems from rage with rebellion against others and states that she could lose this power if she denies her former self. Afterward, Iris decides to visit her Shadow Walker again with a fragment in the Great Void. The Shadow is annoyed that it was insulted by Tenebris and claims he is a hypocrite. The Shadow then goes on a trite that the adults would never listen to her nor would they give her the freedom that she wanted and states that they are not needed. However, Iris retorts that the Shadow is only taking the extremist sides and is not considering the moderate opinion. In addition, Iris states that the Shadow appears fearful of accepting criticism but is unable to change the Shadow Walker's opinion. She leaves the Shadow Walker to obtain the opinion of her actions in Candus City.

After talking to the members of Candus City, Iris learns that she would still be accepted even if she lost her power. The Shadow Walker claims if she loses her power, then she will no longer be in the spotlight and would need to accept orders. Iris tells her Shadow Walker that she will become an adult who is able to take and accept the criticisms of others. She states that the Shadow Walker is fearful of being placed under someone and would rather just ignore them. Iris states that she has changed for the better unlike her Shadow Walker who has a toxic mindset regarding adults. She claims that learning about her Shadow Walker has made her change and not afraid of losing her power. The Shadow asks why Iris is not afraid of losing her power and she responds that her power is not her highest priority. The Shadow Walker claims that Iris has made a new power that isn't anger and attempts to repeatedly insult Iris. However, she retorts that the Shadow Walker has lost the argument and the Shadow concedes but both Iris' continue to insult each other. Before vanishing, the Shadow Walker asks Iris not to become a hypocritical adult as it fades away, sobbing for a better world for itself.

## SinWorker Quest

In the SinWorker quest, the shadow makes a second appearance where Iris seeks to obtain a way to manifest SinForce. Iris ends up tricking her Shadow Walker into assisting her. The Shadow Walker does not believe that Iris can use SinForce and ends up accepting a bet to see if Iris could truly use SinForce. It states that Iris would be unable to understand its desire. Iris ends up accepting the challenge to control its power. When Iris attempts to use SinForce, she notices that SinForce is difficult to control and asks Miriam to activate the VoidForce brooch. After seeing Iris struggle with SinForce, Yorhaka allows her to rampage on his altar in order for her to grow stronger. Iris takes his advice and becomes more proficient with controlling SinForce. She notices that her clothes change when she uses SinForce where Yorhaka replies that it is the same clothing that she wore from a previous time. Iris retorts that her bad taste in dark clothing has not changed and decides to call the clothes, "the Dark Princess's Robes." She prefers to not use the clothing as a medium to channel SinForce and accepts to use a crystal from Yorhaka instead.

After mastering her SinForce, Iris summons her Shadow Walker onto the Dirty Bookshelf. The Shadow Walker is surprised and believed that Iris only summoned it make fun of it. It claims that Iris was cheating due to the VoidForce brooch but Iris claimed that the bet was control SinForce and the method did not matter. She requests the Shadow Walker to forgive Tenebris where the Shadow Walker attempts to refuse. Iris then brings Tenebris to the Shadow and the two have a conversation. Tenebris apologizes to Shadow stating that he was a foolish leader and did not play his part with the safety of the camp. The Shadow Walker is shocked since it did not believe that a hypocrite such as Tenebris would apologize to it. However, while the Shadow Walker accepted Tenebris's apology, it does not forgive Tenebris for his actions and vanishes shortly after. Tenebris questions Iris is this result is acceptable but Iris replies that the Shadow is just acting like a child who lost an argument.
