## Appearance

Iris is an orange-skinned woman with hair of mostly the same color. Her hair is tied into two large tails in the back that turn purple halfway through. She has a purple star-shaped bang over her right eye. Her eyes are a slightly more saturated orange.

## Personality

Most people would call Iris a dork, and it's not hard to see why. She has a lot of obscure interests that even her friends can't keep up with sometimes. She has a very positive and carefree outlook on almost everything, she loves to mess around, showing a mischievous side, only enhanced by her curiosity. She's so impressed and wowed by the world around her to the point where she's essentially unscareable. This and her desire to protect others can lead her to make rash decisions that get her into trouble, but she'll never realize she's out of her element.

While Iris is mainly bubbly and joyful, she can also be shy at times. She's very socially awkward and can't hit the sweet spot in between coming on too strong and too weak. While she struggles to make new friends, she desires to reconnect with the ones she has already made, frequently reaching out to them after FPF came back to Craftopolis (a couple days before the beginning of Meme Series). Her social awkwardness isn't nonexistent with her friends, however. She tends to be careless and simple-minded and has trouble understanding complex situations, leading to a few conflicts. But even so, she tries her best to care for those she wants to protect.

In an ironic twist, things that Iris loves tend to be things that most find divisive or even things that most people dislike. To list an equivalent current example: The game Goodbye Volcano High (as far as I can tell) was met with a lot of divisive views due to its presentation, themes and overall quality of the final product, Iris would unironically adore the hell out of Goodbye Volcano High.

## Powers and Abilities

Iris is a Tank Medic, meaning her powers mostly consist of self-survival and the survival of others. Her elements are Wind and Sweet.

### Barrier Generation

She can create walls of wind that can block attacks and projectiles

### Gust Hair

The star-shaped bang mentioned above can spin really fast, creating big gusts of wind.

### Negative Gloves

These are Iris's signature weapon. They have the ability to turn the wearer's powers into their direct opposite. Iris uses them to cause her punches to heal others like a regular Josuke, and they also allow her to make vacuum gusts. They also strengthen her wind barriers.

## Trivia

* Iris and Lumino originally had each other's current roles. Iris was a supporting character that didn't show up too much and Lumino was the healer of the Hopeless Heroes, but they didn't have a clear dynamic with the other members so their roles were swapped
* Iris is transgender. There are a variety of reasons for this.
	+ I wanted to use her gender identity and FPF's reaction to it to let the audience know FPF had been away from the setting for a while.
	+ I wanted to give a big middle finger to High Guardian Spice right at the start by introducing a trans character and making it work better than they did.
* The purple parts of Iris's hair is natural
	+ Ironically, Iris's purple hair resembles the color of the actual iris flower
* Iris does not know of the potential of her weapons and will spend all of meme series finding out about it and becoming the most broken character next to Vert and Emmet
* She's got burgers on her mind
