Defrosting Ice Queen: After the betrayal she suffered, she has drawn a line she won't cross when it comes to trusting people. She complains Dean is making her to want to trust him with everything. In the game, Iris was banished to a monastery after harassing the heroine. In real life, her family's status is so much higher that the incident would have been quashed entirely if not for a couple inconvenient factors and still isn't a big deal politically speaking. While she does almost get sent to the church, this turns out to have been for entirely unrelated reasons from the start: Her father just wanted her sheltered away from dangerous politics that she seemingly couldn't handle. The Unfavorite: His own doing by betraying Iris. He notices that all of the servants treat him coldly, especially the ones directly under Iris’ employ. Unlike most examples of his, he has resigned to the fact he deserves this treatment. Parental Favouritism: She favors Iris over Bern, and she outright tells Iris that she is on her side. Justified in that Bern was acting irresponsible and entitled while also participating in Iris' humiliation and exile from High Society. Additionally, he was completely blinded by his crush on Yuri while ignoring his responsibilities for two years. Even when Bern comes to his senses and makes amends, Merellis makes it no secret that Iris is still her favorite.

Benevolent Boss: Even before she was appointed acting governor and became president of the Azuta Corporation, she treated her servants well, and the entire household was on her side after Edward broke off her engagement which led to her being publicly humiliated. She values her employees and never takes them from granted. It's one of the reasons she is so loved. Bastard Bastard: Yuri, the bastard daughter of a low ranking noble, is strongly implied to be intentionally destabilizing the kingdom. Innocently Insensitive: His senpai all but needs to spell to him why Iris would be upset by his plan of winning a visit to her by defeating his bodyguards.

Obnoxious Entitled Housewife: Makes a point of claiming all the perks of royalty the moment her engagement to Edward is officially announced, despite the fact that under Tasmerian social conventions, a noble's intended is not considered part of his house until the wedding actually happens - betrothals do fall through on occasion, after all, as she would know, having poached Edward from his original fiancee herself. Her claiming of rights she is not yet entitled to does not make her any friends among Alfred's faction and merits more than a few raised eyebrows among the neutrals. When she finally gets her comeuppance, presenting herself as royal when she isn't is declared to be fraud at best and treason at worst.

Honey Trap: She is trying to become the queen of Tasmeria as part of a plan to weaken the kingdom from inside. Heel Realization: He starts going through one when seeing what Iris has done, and he goes through it again wjen Yuri suggests dissolving the Royal Army. He then reports directly to his father what he had heard.Iris realizes how she feels later than Dean does, but quietly bottles up her feelings and buries them deep down due to the trauma Edward inflicted on her. The Spymaster: His real job. The precise extent of his network is never revealed, but the most prominent (but not necessarily the most important) agent under his command is Yuri.
