Iris, a former Holy Sol Temple nun turned Special Fire Force Company 8 medic, balances spiritual solace with quiet resilience. Her childhood trauma—a temple fire that claimed all nuns except herself and Hibana, who shielded her eyes—anchors her devotion. While Hibana ascended to lead Company 5, Iris channeled her faith into comforting Infernals through prayers, her blue-lined habit symbolizing her dual role as healer and spiritual guide. Her appearance reflects this duality: short blonde hair and serene blue eyes frame a demeanor softened by conservative dresses in civilian life, contrasting with the ethereal, revealing gown worn during purification rites. Beneath her habit lies undergarments adorned with a cross-like emblem, hinting at deeper sacred ties. Though gentle and shy, Iris confronts danger with unexpected steel, facing assassins or smoldering Infernals without flinching. Her dry humor surfaces in playful jabs at Shinra’s exuberance or Maki’s idealism, yet naivety lingers—evident when she mistakes Tamaki for her doppelgänger. Unbeknownst to her, Iris awakens as the Eighth Pillar and Amaterasu’s doppelgänger, manifesting pyrokinetic gifts. Fingertip embers evolve into a prayer-fueled protective aura, shielding allies from Shinra’s blazing strikes or Dragon’s cataclysmic flames via the Adolla Realm. Plots pivot around her latent power: Hibana kidnaps her to bait Company 8, reigniting their fractured bond through shared trauma. Later targeted as a Pillar, she endures Adolla imprisonment and off-screen demise, resurrected post-cataclysm but receding from the forefront. Beyond battle, she cultivates tomatoes and pastry recipes, favors earnest dreamers, and excels in language studies while shunning mathematics. Standing 154 cm with a 23 cm foot size, her subtle rapport with Shinra flirts with romance, though narrative currents steer her toward symbolic roles—a beacon of hope eclipsing personal desires.
