IRIS

IRIS is a character in the "Endless Summer" series. She is later revealed to be the late wife of Rourke and the late mother of Aleister. She is first seen in Book 1, Chapter 10.

Appearance
IRIS is blue-tinted due to the fact she is a hologram, and has dark blue hair, blue skin, blue eyes, light blue lips and a blue shirt. As noted by your character, she looks extremely like Lila, which IRIS thinks is because Everett Rourke, her creator, had a 'type'.

Personality
IRIS is programmed to be helpful and think strategically. She is not programmed to have facial tics so it is impossible to tell if she is telling the truth or lying. Like Rourke and Aleister, IRIS speaks with a British accent. Her Achilles heel is Directive 1908, which makes her 100% obedient to Rourke. It also drastically changes her personality, showing another side of her. However, Diego's Catalyst Idol shows it could possible make her act cold blooded and homicidal. In Book 3, Chapter 9, it is revealed that, prior to her to death, she was a scientist who specialized in cloning.

Everett Rourke
IRIS acted as Everett Rourke's personal assistant that he would consult until he told her to self-destruct. In Book 2 Chapter 3, Rourke uses Directive 1908, which resets IRIS's personality and makes her unquestionably obedient to Rourke. In Book 2, Chapter 8, it is revealed that she is the artificial intelligence of Aleister's mother, making her Everett's wife.

Your Character
When conversing with Rourke, it is shown that she is deeply concerned about Your Character and their classmates despite the fact that she has never met them. When Rourke uses directive 1908 to make her obedient to him, you can either choose to tell her to fight him or call her a traitor. In Book 2, Chapter 8, she tells you that she knows how to get your group off of La Huerta and back home. In Book 2, Chapter 9, she reveals that Directive 1908 prevents from acting against Rourke but she still cares about your group. She reappears in Book 3, Chapter 6 and once again gets your main character and your friends into trouble.
