Iris Marie Taylor is the main character in The Wind Striders. In Season 1, Iris is 10 years old, and her family arrives at the newest colony on Planet Calypso, since her father Daniel has been appointed as the head of the newly formed Wind Striders militia. In Season 2, Iris is 16, and takes on a more central position to the plot when she starts to have mysterious dreams, which eventually leads to her setting off on a quest with a few other youths to figure out what's really going on with this mysterious planet. During Season 3, Iris is 18, and she begins receiving mysterious dreams again, this time confiding in Daniel about them. When Daniel notices an uncanny number of similarities to private events he witnessed, he's convinced that these dreams have to mean something more and he and Iris set out on an adventure together to finally uncover the truth.

Outside of The Wind Striders, Iris has been featured in Tomodachi Life as a permanent Mii and as part of the Waifu Alert to thank Twitch subs.

## The Wind Striders

### Early Life

Iris grew up next door neighbors with Holly, and the two were close friends in their childhoods.

### Season 1

In Season 1 of The Wind Striders, Iris, having moved to Calypso, is an adventurous young girl. She and Holly are often assigned to watch over the younger Ackerman twins, Tia and Nia, a job Iris finds mundane. At one point, Iris ends up using Daniel's gun to save Nia from a monster, prompting Daniel to realize Iris is more capable than he previously thought, and Daniel begins training Iris to follow in his footsteps.

### Season 2

In Season 2, Iris begins having various strange dreams, including seeing herself being kidnapped by whispy shadows, overlooking a large silver ocean in an underground cavern, being experimented on in some kind of dark void, and being lost in a timeless frozen desert. After Iris witnesses one of her dreams come to reality right in front of her at a meteor shower, she concludes that there has to be something more to her dreams, which causes Iris and Holly to set off on a quest across Calypso to find out more details. The two of them are stopped shortly by Iris's older brother, Parker, and his close friend Francis, but after some persuasion she managed to convince the two of them to join her. After a little bit of travel, the group finds out that they were being followed by Tia and Nia, who threaten to tell the adults at the colony if Iris makes them go back. Along the way, Iris stumbles across Tegan Hayes and her brother, Axel, the latter of which was having very similar dreams to Iris prompting the two of them to set out on their own quest. Realizing that they're likely pursuing the same goal, Iris invites the two of them to go along with her. At some point on their quest, the group meets up with Victor, Isaac, Tommy, and Ruby, all of whom join their party for various reasons as they search across Calypso to try to understand more about their mysterious planet.

### Season 3

Very few plot details have been revealed for Season 3, other than Iris being described as "lost" and being "haunted by ghosts of the past". Early on in the season, Iris begins having mysterious dreams again, this time sharing details with Daniel, who is speechless when Iris describes a dream about a Mysterious Woman rising out of a small silver pool, the details of the woman matching closely with a strange event Daniel witnessed during Season 1. Now convinced that her dreams do have meaning, Daniel and Iris set out together to uncover the truth about their world once and for all.
