Some headcanons I came up with for Iris during the WoR:
- She developed this kickass move where she plants the sword, jumps up on the hilt, then flips off while ripping it out of the ground so she winds up smashing it into the next enemy in front of her while spraying anything behind her with dirt and grit to disorient them
- Gladio flipped his shit the first few times she tried it and nearly landed on her head or cut herself open with the sword
- It becomes her sort of signature move and folks can tell if Iris was part of a daemon hunt because of the deep gouges it leaves in the ground
- Both Gladio and Cor tried to get her to teach it to them, but neither of them could manage due to being older, heavier, and slower
- At some point, she gets her own tattoo
- It’s a badass-looking hummingbird that takes up most of her left thigh
- She makes a habit of checking in on the boys between hunts, since she knows they’re all hurting pretty bad
- She’s one of the ones who helps get Ignis back into fighting shape by training with him and helping him re-learn his way around the kitchen
- She and Gladio go on hunts together relatively often and reminisce about their dad and Insomnia and general family lore
- She goads Prompto into taking photos when they’re out together, even though none of them turn out well because of the lighting–but she knows it was important to him
- At some point near the Dawn, she decides she wants to have a baby, to carry on the Amicitia line (since Gladio ain’t doing it), remind herself that life goes on, and have something important to keep going for when the darkness gets to be too much
- Gladio again flips his shit because his baby sister wants to have a baby
- Iris isn’t seeing anyone at the time and doesn’t see the need to have an SO in order to have a baby, so she finds a sperm donor
- Of course she continues to hunt daemons and protect people until Gladio, Cor, Ignis, and Monica all force her to stop for the baby’s health
- Iris gives birth to her daughter a few months before the Dawn and names her Lily
- Prompto brings Lily a chocobo onesie, but Iris teasingly refuses to let Lily wear anything but the moogle onesie she made
