**Iron Bar** is a female object character that is seen in *Virtually Gifted*. She serves the role of being the biological mother of Metal Piece, a student seen in the series at hand. Because she is heavily implied to be coded as an adult, she doesn't seem to take the course of Virtually Gifted, but she does get to help her son sometimes by going to school and providing him love and assistance.

## Appearance

Iron Bar's name is rendered as completely obvious, and doesn't have that imagination inserted into it. As such, Iron Bar is a darker grey colored iron ingot, or a piece of iron ore smelted into a solid form. She is depicted as being armless, like her son. She's seen with a slight nervous expression for the most part, but she does have warm moments of looking cute.

## Personality

Iron Bar is, as stated above, the mother of Metal Piece, and is shown to be very gentle and caring towards him as a result of that fact. Iron Bar has a reckless and careless side, however, when she is permitted to loosen up and go wild. Despite his annoying nature and selfish behavior, Iron Bar really loves her son and will do anything in the whole wide world to make sure he stays safe. That doesn't mean she never gets annoyed with her son, however, and she does seem aware of Metal Piece's bad behaviors on certain occasions, resulting in her expressing a bit of frustration with him and his antics.

In terms of her interacts with fellow objects, Iron Bar is usually depicted as acting somewhat nice and upstanding towards other people in the show whenever she interacts with them, being someone who can be regarded as mature and sympathetic to their struggles and pains that they go through. Iron Bar often comes across as a mother hen character who is sensitive and has the best interests at heart for people, but because of this overbearing nature, Iron Bar does come across as awkward and corny to most people that run into her. This is also apparent with her son when Metal Piece matures and feels like he needs her less and less as an interesting arc.

In terms of her own personal career, Iron Bar is shown to have an interest in both engineering and construction, which paints her as considerably intelligent and resourceful. That being said, she does screw up at this line work at certain times. Iron Bar ends up working as a construction worker near the school, and ends up running into Metal Piece every now and then, especially when the interior of the school needs any repairs or what not.

## Abilities

* **Sturdiness:** Being made out of a strong iron, she's hard to truly kill.
* **Craftmanship:** Iron Bar knows how to build things properly. Despite being armless, this shows her as capable of being an engineer.

## Trivia

* Iron Bar's the only character in Virtually Gifted whose name starts with I.
* Iron Bar is largely considered the oldest person in the series mental-wise, and is largely considered an adult, even being stated to have had a job in construction and having had education in the past that allowed her to get to where she is now, and even going far as to have a son. That being said, Comet and Copyright are canonically stated to be older chronologically as a bizarre joke of complete absurdity.
* Iron Bar is one of the only two armless female seen in the series, the other being Present. Ball and Comet would also count in this situation, but they're also limbless so that is debatable. Also, Comet is nonbinary.
* Iron Bar has an ex partner who is the father of Metal Piece. He, named Silver Bar, is confirmed to be deceased by the start of the series at hand.
	+ This makes her a widow.
* Iron Bar happens to own an anvil she keeps for "hard times". How she got such a thing is kind of unknown.
* Iron Bar dislikes VR Headset considerably, and "tolerates" Charger to an extent.
* Originally, Iron Bar used the *Minecraft* item form for her asset, but she was changed to look more original. Her design and some of her nicknames still references this game. Two other characters that initially referenced Minecraft with their bodies are Potato and Metal Piece.
* Originally, Iron Bar competed in the series at hand, but due to the series' major rewrites and plot changes that went in place by the show creator, she became a side character who is seen sometimes in the narrative.
	+ Her personality is still largely the same from the original vision.
* Iron Bar attended Mcfinny Public School in the past, and is one of the alumni there.
