Iris
Requirement: Unlock Iris

Transcript: The Guardian of Virgo, Iris lives in a small village in harmony with nature among the stars she protects.

She is sweet and often likes to bake cookies and share them with neighbors.

However, as she basically has tolerance to poison and has a peculiar taste of mouth, her cookies can be dangerous in many ways...

She loves to read poetry in nature, surrounded by beautiful trees and flowers.

She has the ability of 'Cultivation' and can grow crops quickly and easily, normally using the power for making nature more lovely or farming.

The routine of Iris
Requirement: Accomplish Iris' 1st Reverse

Transcript: Every day, her routine began with reading poems, feeling the whispers of birds in the woods.

After having a good time in the woods, she leisurely picked apples from the orchard road.

After eating with fruit picked in the morning, she began working on the field.

She had the ability of 'Cultivation', she made crops grow quickly, using her pickaxe.

When the time became about lunchtime, she was excited about the dishes she would share with her neighbors. She especially made cookies for dessert with pride every time.

She traveled around town carrying cooked dishes and cookies and distributed them for neighbors. They were grateful and handed out their food to her. But she always wondered. For some reason (in the town) she always got a wind of the smell of nasty food waste.

After lunch with a dish from her neighbors, she reaped the grains she grew.

She said thanks to her pickaxe for suffering in growing crops like she always did.

Every evening at sunset, she prepared to fall asleep early, feeling euphoria of doing more rewarding work for her neighbors and the grains cultivated today.

Beware of the Cookie
Requirement: Accomplish Iris' 2nd Reverse

Transcript: Iris, the silver-haired girl, was walking on the road in a peaceful town in the countryside.

“What a nice breeze! Are you here to enjoy the weather as well? Hello, squirrel friend~”

While she was looking around with a smile on her face, Iris noticed an old lady carrying a heavy basket on her head.

“Oh! Apple Granny! How far are you going? I was going in that direction as well. I’ll carry your basket for you.”

Although it was far away from the house she was going to, she was kind enough to work extra for the old lady.

“We are here! I hope that today will bring lots of customers. Huh? An apple? No, it’s okay. What? Do you want me to have it? Well, I won’t feel well just taking it, so how about I bake you some cookies in return next time? Thank you.”

Hearing her words of thanks, the old lady suddenly ran away with her basket of apples, surprised.

“I guess she remembered something she needs to get to. Grass, please help Granny so she won’t fall.”

The field of grass waved at once as if returning an answer. Relieved, she started to think while looking at the apple that the kind old lady gave her.

“I’ve decided. I’ll use this apple to bake apple and mushroom cookies for Lady Kalpa and the members of the Pleiades!”

Iris started whistling happily as she thought of the three people digging into the cookies.

-At Pleiades-

“Argh, sis, I suddenly get the chills.”

“Oh, me too.”

“Huh? Same as well.”

“All three of us? Do you think that Iris might be coming over with her cookies?

“Don’t joke about that.”

“Please don’t say such a horrible thing.”

“Right?”

The three of them continued on with their tea time, unaware of the danger about to come to them.

Skill
"People who eat her cookies are known to become delirious." — Flavor text

Iris' skill triggers randomly and rewards the player with Astral Melody instead of Energy. As the amount of Astral Melody rewarded is 1% of the amount of Energy that would have been obtained, in most cases the number will be 3 or 4.

Iris is the only character intended to be capable of rewarding Astral Melody in Free Play, and her skill is intended to be the only way to farm Astral Melody after having used all daily Dark Matter charges. However, as of version 2.0.3, Arcyone's skill has a bug that not only rewards Astral Melody in Free Play but also grants ten times as much Astral Melody as can be obtained when using Iris.

As of version 2.0, there is a visual bug when Iris' skill triggers: the amount of Energy obtained will display as the amount of Energy the player actually has, truncated after the first six digits. This does not reflect the actual Energy gained, which is always zero.
