We don't know for certain what Iris will look like in his Tree Form in season 2 when he finally gets upgraded.

## **Powers and Abilities**

#### **Natural Abilities**

* **Superhuman Speed -** As a sphere, Iris can run faster than most shapes which makes him the fastest caretaker in the group.
* **Enhanced Resilience -** In one instance, Iris did show that he has above-average durability and endurance when he performed a great fall from the sky in Episode 6. As big as the fall was, this only led him to have only a minor bruise and a broken leg.
* **Enhanced Strength -** Not as physically strong as Cube, Iris does seemingly have considerable strength, as he was able to slice a large tree down at one point in the season 1 finale. In Episode 5, he did in fact grab and pull Cube who was possibly 90 kilograms (200 pounds) away from a horde of corrupted flowers coming towards them.

#### **Holdable Weapon**

* **Sword -** Iris can summon a sword with cogs spinning inside of it from his head, which he uses to engage in combat.

#### **Abilities with Orange/Tree Of life**

* **Sealing -** Like the other caretakers and heroes, Iris can synchronize the Orange Tree of Life energy and his hero, Orange together to create domes to seal off corrupted shapes/flowers inside.

#### **Special Abilities**

* **Face Transformation -** Iris can turn his face dark purple, doing this also corrupts his voice and gives him small white irises in his eyes. He can also use this to scare shapes, when in Episode 2, Iris uses this ability to startle Cube, Lythorus, and Cyan (even though he was joking around about it).
* **Teleportation -** Iris possesses a unique ability to teleport, and he can even teleport others if he holds onto them. This sub-ability to teleport others with him was first introduced in Episode 5 when Iris held onto Pentellow and teleported both of them to Cintagon's location, while he was being chased.
	+ **Invincibility -** The creator confirmed that Iris's teleportation ability gives him a slight invincibility.

#### **Skillset**

* **Swordsmanship -** Iris has proven to be a skilled swordsman.
* **Musical Talent -** In the Cube and Iris singing short, Iris has shown to be a good singer as well.

## **Personality**

Iris is a tough, serious, and pragmatic sphere with a soft side for his Lemon Pie which it becomes particularly evident in his interactions with his girlfriend, Pentellow, whom he comforts and shows more emotion, probably because of how close their romantic relationship is.

Throughout the series, Iris maintains an aloof and composed demeanor, rarely revealing his emotional side to himself or those around him and can appear disinterested at times.

Nevertheless, despite his serious nature, Iris does have a humorous and playful side to him that he shows occasionally. For example, in Episode 2, Iris decided to greet himself by using his face transformation ability to try and startle Cube, Lythorus, and Cyan even though they were unamused by it, and shortly after then told them that he was joking about it. Another instance is in Episode 4 when he playfully puts Cube into a headlock for some reason.

He does act supportive, respectful, and protective at times towards his friends. From Episodes 3 to 4, he gave Cube some advice about how to be a good caretaker and tells him how controllable and holdable weapons work for shapes who can fight in combat. Iris does try to use his best intentions to feel caring towards other shapes when in Episode 7, Iris tries to comfort Cube who was still dealing with caretaker issues but, it didn't help Cube feel better fully.

However, Iris does have a tendency to come across as harsh at times, whether it is justified or not. In the Family Search Arc, during Episode 9, he yells at Cube for not sharing information in a timely manner and keeping it to himself before arriving at a certain place or situation. This outburst occurs before Cube has the opportunity to finish explaining about Cubic being remade and searching for the group. This rude reaction causes both Cube and Cyan to cry, and Iris does not offer an apology to Cube and Cyan throughout the entire episode.
