Iris is the 77th Schoolchild of the School's Freshman Class, formed from a heavily damaged Chiyo template with DNA unknowingly (On both ends) acquired from Tagg used to shore it up. She currently attends Naranja y Uva Academy under the alias of Sally Scrivener.
Appearance
Iris is about 4'7" and has a strong physical resemblance to both of her genetic parents, having both Chiyo's freckles and Tagg's left side face mole. She has the School-typical purple eyes, but their shape and brownish tint was inherited from Tagg. During her mission to infiltrate Naranja y Uva Academy, she has taken to wearing the customary Uva House uniform, if modified to fit the Team Star aesthetic.
Personality
Iris is a curious person, if guarded due to her experiences with the School. Prior to leaving, apart from her resentment of Chiyo, she lacked much in the way of malice towards anyone normally past a noted disdain for School scientists despite her nominal loyalty to the organization and seeking of its approval. She has a tendency to refer to most adult figures with a honorific, with the noted exception of Chiyo.
Biography
Iris was decanted sometime in early 2021 as the 77th Schoolchild of the Freshman Class, as an attempt to make a Chiyo more loyal to the School and as a contingency of Dr. No Heart's. She was subject to various experiments on her capabilities from the beginning, all the while aware of their fears of her doing a rebellion like her maternal template did, birthing a deep resentment towards Chiyo.
The two wouldn't actually meet until March 2023 in the aftermath of the Truancy Gang's repulsion of a School force attacking the Stormchaser, in which she was convinced to withdraw instead of trying to attack by Ammit, who cited their obvious power differential. It was after this that she was assigned a mission to infiltrate Naranja y Uva Academy with Lydia as her handler.
Unbeknownst to her, the School had deemed Iris too dangerous and slated her for liquidation, but Lydia interfered and the greater system had no idea that she was still alive, leaving Iris to continue her mission at Naranja y Uva Academy, and becoming Tagg's apprentice.
Following her break with the School and critical injury by an enemy Templar, who Tagg and Chiyo ended up killing, she's been under their care in a co-parenting arrangement.
Abilities
Iris is a hydrokinetic capable of creating localized rainstorms by manipulating humidity, and tracking people who have been soaked enough by her Aura-infused rain. Apart from other basic Auric abilities, she has inherited Chiyo's rainbow Aura and is capable of using Aura chains like Tagg.
Relationships
- Was deeply resentful towards her genetic mother Chiyo due to the School's abuse prior to her defection, referring to her as "Iridium 1.0" and seeking to surpass her, while simultaneously possessing a degree of admiration for her.
- Has entered an apprenticeship with her genetic father Tagg.
- Ann is her genetic paternal aunt, though they haven't met yet.
- Lydia was her handler, the Templar also serving as the closest thing she had to a mother figure prior to her defection.
- She and Lian were kept together for some time prior to the latter's rescue by Ama. Prior to their meeting during 2023's J-Con, Iris was under the impression that she'd been liquidated.
- Trill is her first full friend, and the first person she told about being a Schoolchild.
- Iris is part of Team Star.
Pokémon
Trivia
- Lydia has theorized that she was decanted at a much younger physical age compared to Chiyo because the School deemed a young child more controllable than a young teenager, but it's unknown if she is correct.
