Some cute dancing after some training. Iris and Estinien really took to it after they visited Thavnir, and use it to spar and keep in step with each other in combat.

I have some many games that I have Iris in. I adore her. She was my first OC that I have had since I was eight, and she has changed so much over the years.

Quiet before a Storm.

I just kinda miss Iris. Blabbing about her was one of my favorite things to do, and this screenshot really kinda nailed her as a character.

Iris can come off as naive and bubbly, but part of her is always stuck in this loop of melancholy. She smiles for others, but at the end of the day, who smiles for her? In A Realm Reborn, she wants to help the Scions because it's the only thing she has been offered since she became a refugee (she's Ala Migan). It turned into a deep friendship with all of them, and the first feeling of a home she'd had in years.

The subsequent losses, tragedies, and close calls, Iris has always tried to be upbeat. But I think nearly losing Estinien really broke something inside her. Being unable to save Haurchefant was one thing... But watching a man she saw as her rival, then her friend get possessed and turned into a weapon against her really made her stomach drop.

The battle against Nidhogg was so strenuous, I think it actually came the closest to killing her. After Estinien was freed, Iris collapsed as her heart gave out due to the exertion of the battle. It was tense to say if she would pull through for a while.
