Iris Ascarid/Relationships

Ikki Kurogane
Iris has shown some interest in Ikki, due to his recent transformation into a desperado in the finals of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival. She saved him from being killed by Stella due to Or-Gaule throwing Ikki in the direction of her attack through putting her armor on him while healing his serious injuries from using Ittou Rasetsu. Iris was later consoled by Ikki due to her fear of her little brother. Over time, Iris started viewing Ikki as being a fellow and trusted comrade, despite stepping in front of him and Stella as a foe to protect her brother, Or-Gaule, Iris was happy that Ikki viewed her as an equal enemy, as well as understanding her reasons (Justice) to the point of tears. Even in their heated battle, she continued to view Ikki as a powerful Blazer and Swordsman able to surpass even the Strongest Swordsman in the World, Edelweiss in the future; in her final moments, she was happy that Ikki would still remember her despite Iris telling him to forget.
