## Biography

Irma is revealed to have been born as Iruka Uzumaki and is the long-lost older sister of Naruto Uzumaki. She has a memory in *Trixie Tang in the Land of Snow* where she is witnessing the birth of her younger brother and her name is actually said to be Iruka and not Irma.

Irma is a spunky, cheerful, optimistic, and humorous person. Compared to the other members of W.I.T.C.H., she is the cockiest member of the team and she often appears to be the least serious as she is known to crack jokes about almost anyone she comes in contact with. Despite her tendency to joke around when faced with a problem, she is a kindhearted person who cares about those she has relationships with.

She can often be seen using her powers for personal gain. Irma can be a bit squeamish at times, and fainted when she saw Mrs. Rudolph in her true Meridian form the first time.

When necessary, she exhibits leadership qualities. Irma almost always wants to be center stage, and, depending on the person, can or can't hold grudges for long. She also has a big appetite, revealed by the time she devours all of Mrs. Rudolph's cookies without a care for them possibly being poisoned, unlike the other more cautious Guardians. Irma can be seen as the biggest flirt and boy expert of the group. Irma is also dating her friend, Will, and often calls her 'Sparky' as a nickname after they are told that they are destined for true love with each other. Irma has a love-hate relationship with Jo Elliot and often screws around with her in a Bugs Bunny fashion.
