Character from Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
A Lakelander princess married to a broken king — a nymph warrior whose water magic rivals any Silver's fire, trapped in a political alliance she despises.
Iris was married to Maven as a political alliance between the Lakelands and Norta — neither liked the other, and the marriage was a strategic transaction between hostile powers. As a nymph, she commands water with royal-level power — capable of forming massive waves from atmospheric humidity and flooding entire fortifications. She is a Lakelander patriot first, Maven's wife second, and nobody's pawn. Her presence in the Nortan court added a layer of geopolitical tension to Maven's already unstable reign.
Dark skin, straight black hair, and storm-grey eyes. Tall and muscular with an hourglass figure. Black tattoos resembling water whirls cover her back. She carries herself with the awareness of someone who knows exactly how dangerous she is.
Also known as: Princess Iris, Queen Iris
