irys (hololive)
A virtual YouTuber operating under the "Project: HOPE" branch of Hololive English. Her name is officially stylized as IRyS.
Character design by Redjuice, personal emoji is 💎 (diamond, a reference to the Hope Diamond).
Appearance
A half-demon half-angel (referred to as a Nephilim) who, upon her second awakening, has descended upon the current era to bring hope through song. True to her lore, she is portrayed with heterochromic purple and blue eyes, dark purple hair, horns, and differently-colored crystal wings.
Personality
She is the designated "virtual singer/VSinger" of Hololive (compare with AZKi). Her career began quite inauspiciously when her Twitter account was temporarily restricted due to excessive activity as enthused fans began to Follow in droves shortly after her first-ever tweet.
True to her origin, IRyS has a bright cheerful personality, though she tends to behave chaotically, occasionally dropping "out of context" jokes at times (both intentionally and unintentionally). She also likes to make puns out of her name by adding the "IRyS-" prefix or the "-RyS" suffix to any random words, such as her greeting "HIRyS", her Nintendo account name "IrySwitch", and the chat's tendency to call her "YabaiRyS" when she starts talking about "cursed" topics. She's also easily one of the most fluent Japanese speakers in Hololive English, which leads to her frequent collab streams with HoloJP members.
IRyS has a close relationship with Hakos Baelz, with them often involved in a quasi-yuri situation. Most notably being assertive over Bae and insisted that they are "married" only to be "rejected" and declared "divorced" by Bae later. This has reached the point that both of them once jointly hosted a "waifu dub" streams with IRyS took control of Bae's avatar and vice-versa.
