-------------

"I'm Iris, the master of the dream castle, the gatekeeper of the cradle. Per the contract, I've come to return the thing my guest has left me with in the castle... odd, why can I find that guest?"

-------------

Victoria's guardian of fairy tales, the inheritor of the castle, the good friend of children, Iris.

The prefixes left on the page always exaggerates. When it's needed to introduce Miss Iris to others, we believe that this is the fastest way they can learn about the kind of person Miss Iris is.

Among the many fairy tales that circulates in Victoria and the area surrounding it, there is one about how good children and kind people will be invited by a fairy into dreamland, and spend an amount of time there in happiness, and even have their wishes fulfilled. Many Victorian families tell their children this as a bedtime story, and according to the different versions, the castle in the story had different names, and the people in the story have different experiences. But the grand castle, the beautiful garden, the delicious afternoon tea, and the beautiful and cute fairy are always present.

Do you believe it?

The fairy in the tale is with us right now.

First Impressions

Note: These are first impressions and based on conjecture since we don’t know the exact details. 

Iris' Trait definitely sets her apart from other ST Casters.  She comes with a new ability to store up high-power attacks when she is not attacking, and can then unleash them on the first enemy who dares enter her range.  Will this ability be enough to warrant a new archetype?  I'm not really sure at this point.  Though the Trait is indeed different, it seems to simply enhance the role already being filled, and the ability might end up being more like an enhancement skill or talent than something truly archetype defining.  Whether it will be enough to create a different role for her than other ST Casters, time will tell.

S1 looks like a straightforward burst damage skill, and S2 will make her only the 4th Operator with the ability to put enemies to sleep, and the first Caster.  Overall, She looks to be an interesting mix of burst dps and crowd control
