Iris was born and raised in the [[Village of Dragons]] and would spend her time as a little girl playing with the [[wild Pokémon]] that lived in the forest just outside the village. She had learned to be quite skilled in tree climbing, as well as tending and caring to different Pokémon. One day she met a wild {{TP|Iris|Drilbur}} that had injured a {{p|Patrat}} and had stolen its food. Angered, she sought justice for what the Drilbur had done and challenged him. After countless defeats, she finally managed to outmaneuver the Mole Pokémon and get him caught in some vines dangling just over a cliff. After coming to his rescue, the two became good friends and began {{pkmn|training}} together. After many victories against different types of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, Drilbur evolved into an Excadrill. The two then got the opportunity to meet [[Drayden]], a Dragon Master, who praised Iris for her skill in {{pkmn|battle}}. When he asked who was teaching her how to battle she responded that she was teaching herself with the help of the Pokémon she had befriended in the village. Brimming with confidence, she then challenged Drayden to a battle. However, Drayden's {{p|Haxorus}} was more powerful than Iris had anticipated and Excadrill was easily defeated. After suffering defeat and becoming distrustful of his Trainer, Excadrill then closed himself off to Iris, rarely opening up, and never showing emotion.

Not long after those events, Iris left for [[Opelucid City]] to attend school at the Opelucid Academy. When she was not in school, she stayed with [[Martha]] in a dorm. These were very difficult times for Iris, though. She struggled in school, and failed to make any friends or interact with any of the other students at the academy. Iris also didn't feel compatible with the urban city life. She tried to take her mind off the city by climbing the radio tower for a view of the mountains, but always got into trouble with [[Officer Jenny]]. All of these hardships in the city made her homesick, so she often spent her spare time writing to her friend [[Shannon]]. Eventually, after losing a battle at school, Iris could not stand this life anymore and dropped out. Leaving her partner Pokémon, {{p|Fraxure}}, behind, Iris returned to the Village of Dragons.

Years passed, and Iris was called upon by the [[Elder (Village of Dragons)|village elder]]. She was to start a {{pkmn|journey}} with a newly hatched {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and raise him to become a full-fledged Haxorus. She accepted this trial, and set off on her journey, hoping to someday become a Dragon Master herself. Some time after these events, she witnessed a storm caused by {{p|Zekrom}} during the events of ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]''. She missed actually encountering the Deep Black Pokémon, and continued on her journey, eventually meeting [[Ash Ketchum]] the very next day when he accidentally tried to catch her, thinking she was a Pokémon. The two had a rocky start, often finding reasons to argue and occasionally calling each other names. However they kept each other company and Iris even stayed to watch his first Gym battle in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders! Team Threats!]]''. After the battle one of the Gym Leaders, {{an|Cilan}}, had decided to travel alongside Ash, and noted that the three of them make a good team. So Iris decided to officially become their traveling companion.

After a long time away, Iris returned to the Village of Dragons in ''[[BW100|A Village Homecoming!]]''. After having several flashbacks of her times in before traveling with Ash, she was given the chance to battle Drayden again, this time in a Gym battle. When they arrived in Opelucid City in ''[[BW101|Drayden Versus Iris: Past, Present, and Future!]]'', Iris revealed her bad experience there. Once again, she got in trouble with Officer Jenny for climbing the radio tower. While Officer Jenny was questioning her, she met up with Martha again. After that she and Ash and Cilan went to the [[Opelucid Gym]] to battle Drayden. Although she did improve, managing to defeat his Haxorus, she lost again. This time however, her Pokémon didn't appear sad despite their defeat and after the battle she promised to get stronger. As a result, Drayden told the village elder to consider Iris as Opelucid City Gym Leader.

Iris said goodbye to Ash in ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'' when the group arrived in Kanto. She decided to head for [[Johto]] to have a battle with [[Clair]] at [[Blackthorn Gym]]. Her and Cilan took the [[Magnet Train]] to Johto where they also split up so that Cilan could participate in [[Mr. Briney]]'s {{DL|Fishing|Old Rod}} Fishing Rally.

She reappeared in [[SS028]], where she battled Clair's {{shiny}} {{p|Druddigon}} with her {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} but lost. During the battle, she demonstrated her ability to read {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon's mind. She encountered a rampaging {{TP|Iris|Gible}} in the city and saved it from falling from a clock tower. Thus gaining its trust, she read its mind to understand the reason behind its rampaging despite failing earlier. She later caught the Gible and decided to head towards the way they saw a {{p|Rayquaza}} flying.

Iris is an experienced Trainer and has been in many battles in the past. She has been portrayed as a sort of prodigy in the [[Village of Dragons]], and while there she had built up a 99-win streak with her {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} before losing to Dragon Master [[Drayden]]. These experiences seem to have affected her, as she has a high view of herself and her abilities. Perhaps because of this, Iris typically seems to think of Ash as a little kid and often treats him like a rookie Trainer when he makes simple mistakes, despite that he too has had many adventures and accomplishments in the past. She is also shown to be slightly hypocritical since despite how commonly she refers to Ash's mistakes when she is usually known to make similar mistakes as well. However this critical view of Ash seems to stem from their first meeting, whereupon Ash not only mistook her for her Pokémon Axew, but attempted to try to catch one without battling it first. Despite this, she is not above cheering him on during Gym and normal Trainer battles. Also, her calling Ash a kid has shifted from a critical tone to harmless teasing between the two of them.

However this critical view of Ash seems to stem from their first meeting, whereupon Ash not only mistook her for her Pokémon Axew, but attempted to try to catch one without battling it first. Her habit of calling out his immaturity and trying to show herself off as more mature also stems from the tough time she had in Opelucid City as a child, where her own childish and immature behavior had kept her from making friends and fitting in. Despite this, she is not above cheering Ash on during Gym and normal Trainer battles. Also, her calling Ash a kid has shifted from a critical tone to harmless teasing between the two of them, particularly as Iris comes more to term with her own immaturity.  


Iris adores most Pokémon, often hugging them upon first meeting. On some occasions this is shown to be a bit invasive, which normally causes the Pokémon to attack her (such as with [[Ash's Pikachu]]). She has a particularly strong understanding of {{t|Dragon}} types and tends to be very excitable around them in particular, not showing fear even against a rampaging {{p|Druddigon}}. Because of this strong passion, she aims to become a Dragon Master like so many others from her hometown. The one type she doesn't like is the {{t|Ice}} type, due to the fact that Ice-type attacks are super effective against Dragon-type Pokémon. [[Trip]] mentions that her fear of Ice types based on that is irrational, as Dragon-type moves are super effective against Dragon-type Pokémon as well. Iris shrugged this off, however, and mentions that she also doesn't like the cold. Iris is willing to overcome this fear, however, as shown when challenged by Georgia's Beartic and [[Dawn's Mamoswine]].

Despite Iris aiming to be a {{t|Dragon}} Master, only a little more than half of her Pokémon are Dragons, and [[Iris's Excadrill|her first one]] is not. Like Ash, she tends to capture Pokémon she befriends or want to travel with her regardless of their type as shown when she wanted to add a {{AP|Tepig}} and an {{AP|Oshawott}} on her team before both wanting to stay with Ash.
