Iris is a character in the Mega Man X series. An alternate universe version of her also appears in the last installment of the Battle Network series, Battle Network 6: Cybeast Gregar/Falzar, and plays a significant role in the storyline.
[edit] History
Iris was developed by Repliforce scientists as half of the perfect fighting Reploid. Colonel, her brother, was the other half. Her half was of the peaceful arbitrator, and Colonel's was of the strong-willed fighter. Repliforce scientists had struggled to make these two factors into one Reploid, but the differences were irreconcilable, so they split them into brother and sister Reploids.
Iris trained with the Maverick Hunters, and during this time she developed her feelings for Zero. Later, Zero saved her during the Sky Lagoon incident, and she acted as a spotter at Maverick Hunter Base and instructed Zero on where to go for his missions. Despite her willingness to instruct Zero, she constantly urged him to withhold his fighting, especially from her brother. When they faced off, she stopped the fight before anyone could get hurt. But to her dismay, Zero was only spurred on further to stop the Repliforce. When her brother was killed later at the hands of Zero, it drove her mad and she made a trip to the Final Weapon where she used Colonel's fighting will to gain powerful body armor. She waited for Zero in a laboratory ready to avenge her brother. Like the Repliforce scientists had discovered, her system wouldn't accept the fighting spirit and frequently rejected it as she fought. Zero defeated her, but rushed to her side instantly after. It was too late at this point, as she was already dying. It was at this point that she admitted point-blank that she had feelings for Zero, admitting that the utopia was a myth, but claiming she wanted to be there with Zero.
