Background and Personality
Iris is a former sister of The Holy Sol Temple who serves as a key member of Special Fire Force Company 8. Her role involves providing spiritual support during operations, particularly when dealing with Infernals, by offering prayers and blessings. Devoted and compassionate, Iris embodies a serene and nurturing presence within the team, balancing the fiery and chaotic nature of her companions.
While she is deeply faithful, her unwavering belief in the Holy Sol Temple is shaken as she uncovers startling truths about its secrets and her own origins. Unbeknownst to her, Iris is revealed to be both the Eighth Pillar and the Doppelgänger of Amaterasu, linking her fate to the Adolla Burst and the larger conspiracy surrounding the Evangelist.
With hands clasped and eyes closed in serene devotion, Sister Iris offers a heartfelt prayer, embodying grace and faith amidst the chaos of her world.

- Adolla Link (Latent):Iris can establish an Adolla Link, a mysterious connection shared among those tied to the Adolla Burst. This connection allows her to sense other Pillars and Adolla-influenced events, though she is often unaware of its activation.
- Spiritual Influence:Though not a pyrokinetic, Iris’s prayers and calming presence provide emotional and psychological support to her team, playing a vital role in maintaining morale during high-stress missions.

Iris’s latent powers and her ties to Amaterasu place her at the center of the larger conflict involving the Evangelist and the Adolla Realm. Her faith is ed as she discovers her role as the Eighth Pillar, forcing her to reconcile her spiritual devotion with the reality of the Holy Sol Temple’s corruption.
Through her journey, Iris evolves from a passive bystander to a pivotal figure whose strength lies in her unwavering resolve and her connection to the Adolla Burst. Her story emphasizes themes of faith, self-discovery, and the human struggle for identity amidst cosmic forces.
