Iris Krywall

Iris Krywall is a main character in Lock Catalyst. She is a current member of the Armed Souls Agency, formerly a disciple of the Church and a Devilish, humans with supernatural connections to the Underworld.

Appearance
Iris is a petite young girl of short stature with peach toned skin and light brown hair. She has segmental heterochromia, having dark magenta eyes that gradually fade to yellow, and vertically slit pupils, which make her eyes appear like that of devils. She has long, waist length hair that is always tied back into pigtails,. She has split ear-length bangs that frame her face, with two thinner chin-length strands below them and her signature cowlick above her head.

Iris is often seeing wearing a dark magenta sheath/wrap in which she carries her sword tied with a cross-body yellow strap. Under her dark purple sweater, she wears a simple white dress shirt, along with a pink tie and knee-length skirt. She wears black stockings with dark blue accents, also sporting dark pink boots with white straps fastened by gold buckles.

Possessed
Iris’s Possessed appearance is nearly identical to her original, however, some of her features change drastically, such as her pupils expanding and the magenta area in her eyes getting a reddish color. Her hair also becomes more sharp and messy, and her hat is off, revealing a pair of sharp horns that resemble that of devils.

Personality
Iris’s overall behavior is seeming to be arrogant and reckless. She has a determined attitude, making her fond of fighting and causing trouble. She is a cheeky and mischievous kid with a tendency to steal things, and mostly hunts down Dolls because she seeks the thrill of a fight.

Like children her age, Iris is curious and daring; however, this curiosity and braveness often endangers her, as she shows no fear of approaching and attacking enemies without hesitation. Often times she shows her care to the people around her, and although she sometimes displays a harsh and rude behavior to the rest of her friends, Iris is quite clingy to them.

Despite her bratty and aggressive behavior, Iris occasionally presents a sweet side to those who get to know her. Having lost her mother and being “neglected” by the White Church, Iris has valued her friends above all and considered "family" the most valuable and important thing in the world. She also likes being appraised, especially from Canarie and Andrew.

Iris seems to be emotionally unstable, mostly due to the fact she witnessed her mother being sexually assaulted and later went missing. After her mother’s supposed suicide, Iris was severely traumatized and repressed those memories as a coping mechanism.

Possessed
Iris’s Possessed personality is not that different from her original. While she is a more sadistic, bloodthirsty and potentially dangerous version of herself, she is portrayed as comic relief at times. She often maniacally laughs a lot and plays off serious situations as games she can play. Because she is a Devilish, Iris still retains her memories and is fully conscious and aware of everything around her, such as when she started to cry tears of joy when she saw her mother alive, whilst still smiling devilishly.

Background
''Strange occurrences were no problem for Iris Krywall. Born with strange eyes and a unique ability, the young child was fiercely protected by her mother, who in an act of desperation, joined the Mansion for money and wealth, and unfortunately fell into the lie perpetuated by the cult members of the Mansion. An unaware and innocent child would easily fall into the clutches of a monster, but Iris, though unaware of her mother’s doings, grew suspicious of the Mansion and the staff itself. Soon enough, the child’s suspicions were correct. Having lost the only solace who protected her and nurtured her when no one else would, Iris fled to the Red Church and became a Doll Hunter, carrying her feelings of guilt and along with masked sadness.''
