CHARACTER Name: Iris Hawthorne Canon: Ace Attorney Age: 25 Timeline: Post-Trials and Tribulations If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: Juniper is more tied to Apollo and Athena, while Iris is more tied to Phoenix and Maya. There's no reason they have to ever cross paths.
Personality: Iris is an individual with extremely small self-esteem, and doesn't have any issues taking the blame for her sister or people she knows, whether it was partially her fault or not her fault at all. Because of this, however, she doesn't have much of a backbone and will more often than not give in and not argue with people. She feels like she is a burden to everyone and the cause of their issues, whether it's true or otherwise. She has a very pessimistic view on herself and will generally shoot down any praise she gets unless it's heavily warranted. Due to this she is very protective of information about her past and things she would prefer to keep silent about, however she is terrible at keeping secrets. When she is bullied or berated enough, especially by her sister Dahlia, she will lose all the small courage she has and defer to their logic and reasonings, especially if it's something Iris was involved in. She is modest about herself (again because of the low self-esteem) and will praise others over herself in any situation. She doesn't believe she's actually good for anything, but will still help others in need as best she can.
Despite all of this, she is very kind and polite, and tries her best to be nice to everyone she meets, even if they're being mean or rude to her. Because of this, she's able to usually keep an optimistic view on anything or anyone that is not herself. Because of her kindness however, which can be described as 'sickly sweet', she's easy to manipulate, especially by anyone that knows her very well or she's good friends with. She's also easy to deceive, and usually will not think twice about the sincerity of anything she's told unless it's obvious otherwise. She's also fairly shy when she's embarrassed or flustered and will generally not start conversations unless she is simply greeting the person or has something to talk to them about.
Iris believes there is good in everyone, even a little bit, though others believe she is a poor judge of character because of this (when in reality she's a faily good judge of character, but doesn't actively show it). She tries to be considerate of others' feelings when talking to them, and though she will help others, she generally waits to ask unless she knows the person very well, just in case she's not butting into something she has no business knowing about.
When people believe in Iris and praise her, she feels somewhat confident. However, when it comes to people that do the opposite, and when she is put down by her twin sister Dahlia, she tends to hide herself and feel like she's the cause of everyone's issues. She's still atoning for the sins she made five years prior and due to this, she won't be feeling very good about herself for a long time.
Abilities: Iris has no special abilities that make her stand out in the crowd, other than being able to break physical psyche-locks (not the mental kind that require something like a Magatama to break).
Third Person:Here! I know the sample bends between past and present tense a few times, but it's mostly in past tense and was intended to set up a scene (which would have worked far better with prose than brackets.) Apologies for that!
