Iris is a character in the Mega Man X series. 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. 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. Personality
Iris was romantic, and somewhat foolishly naive. Despite the overwhelming circumstances that caused the Repliforce War, she urged Zero to stop fighting. Zero, just as all the contenders of the war, was trapped in it, and couldn't simply "stop." There was no simple solution as Iris wanted. Her care for her brother was probably not greater than her care for Zero, but the madness caused by her brother's death ruined her optimistic and naive world. With that, she felt compelled to hurt Zero, who she loved. It wasn't until after her defeat that she realized her blindness, finally admitting that the utopia for Reploids would be impossible. Her death had quite an impact on Zero, and she was one of his last dying memories as he passed away in Mega Man X5.
