Iris Zeppelin (/EE-rees [...]/)
Once assumed to be an innocent child, she is actually a vicious enfant terrible who would do anything for her benefit alone, due to inheriting the intellect and raw power of Rosenkreuz but not his morals. Having tormented the RKS by placing them in a senseless war once, she had returned to do the same thing but with an actual witch hunt, much to the dismay of both the RKS and the Imperial citizenry. Along with the power granted to her as one half of Rosenkreuz's reincarnation, she also wields the lightning-based Blitzstrahl (/BLITS-shtrahl/) and can assume a more seraphic form with the Wings of Madness.

GOOD POINT: Incredibly talented
BAD POINT: Megalomaniacal
LIKES: Theatrics
DISLIKES: Being denied godhood
Trivia:
- She's inspired not only by Dr Wily from the classic Mega Man series, but also Lumine from MegaMan X8 due to her seraphic form and references to being a malevolent entity of light, though I'm not sure if Lumine ever claimed to be a goddess.
- Despite being explicitly named after the Greek goddess of the rainbow, one could argue she functions more like a different namesake, Eris, Greek goddess of discord. It would certainly fit with her desire to cause grief and strife among people for her sole benefit.
- Interestingly, in the original Japanese she spoke with distinct mannerisms (such as ending many of her lines with "desu wa," a phrase roughly meaning "Good heavens") even after she drops the innocent facade. This got changed into different manners of speaking in the English version depending on whether or not she revealed her true nature yet.
As much as I want to see, say, RKS Zornesbombe, I feel that for now the series is going to remain a duology. WOMI only managed to pull Freudenstachel together for release because he taught himself how to code just to fill in the void left by Isemiya. So I doubt he'd do another entry unless he either found another programmer or decided to take some serious crash courses in that field. Besides, I'm sure he and Darksquid are still busy working on Schwesternschaft, and even that's taking quite a while....Chirei wrote:I have no idea if WOMI plans to do anything else with the RKS brand, but it's uncertain if Iris actually dies when Freudia seals her in ice. Eifer was 100% confirmed to have died fighting against Freu, though.
