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 (due Iris pushing him to keep battling even though he knew it was a lost cause), Excadrill then closed himself off from Iris, rarely opening up, and never showing emotion. | 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.

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. | Years passed, and Iris was called upon by the [[Elder (Village of Dragons)|village elder]].

Sometime after setting off on her journey, Iris 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 after he saw her hair sticking out of the bushes and scanned it with his Pokedex only to detect Axew. 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. | Sometime after setting off on her journey, Iris witnessed a storm caused by {{p|Zekrom}} during the events of ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]''.

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. | After a long time away, Iris returned to the Village of Dragons in ''[[BW100|A Village Homecoming!]]''.

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]]. She and Cilan took the [[Magnet Train]] to Johto where they also split up so that Cilan could participate in [[Mr. Briney]]'s [[Old Rod]] Fishing Rally. She briefly appeared in Ash's fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. | Iris said goodbye to Ash in ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'' when the group arrived in Kanto.

In [[SS028]], Iris 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. | In [[SS028]], Iris battled Clair's {{shiny}} {{p|Druddigon}} with her {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} but lost.

[[File:Iris fear.png|thumb|250px|Iris's fear of {{type|Ice}} Pokémon]] | [[File:Iris fear.png|thumb|250px|Iris's fear of {{type|Ice}} Pokémon]] | ||
Iris is said to be a wild girl who likes to swing on vines and eat berries. Her Pokémon friend {{TP|Iris|Axew}} travels with her in her hair instead of inside a [[Poké Ball]]. She seems to be very hyper on occasions such as climbing up trees very quickly. Iris is very adventurous and bold, often times being the first to suggest something and not being afraid to speak her mind. She is shown to be a quick thinker, such as seen in ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]'' when she was able to quickly save {{Ash}} from falling into boiling hot water when he lost his grip. This becomes a running theme and is again shown in ''[[BW012|Here Comes the Trubbish Squad!]]'' and ''[[BW013|Minccino-Neat and Tidy!]]'' where she is quickly able to evade oncoming dangers when Ash and Cilan can't. She is very in tune with nature and claims to have a "sixth sense" and follows her instincts often. Despite this she also seems to have a poor sense of direction, occasionally getting the group lost. | Iris is said to be a wild girl who likes to swing on vines and eat berries.

Iris adores most Pokémon, often hugging them upon first meeting. On some occasions this is shown to be a bit invasive, which normally makes the Pokémon uncomfortable, sometimes causing them 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 does not 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 mentioned that she also does not like the cold. Iris is willing to overcome this fear, however, as shown when challenged by Georgia's Beartic and [[Dawn's Mamoswine]]. | Iris adores most Pokémon, often hugging them upon first meeting.

Despite Iris aiming to be a [[Type expert|Dragon Master]], only a little more than half of her [[party]] are {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and [[Iris's Excadrill|her first one]] is not. Like Ash, she tends to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Pokémon she befriends or want to travel with her regardless of their [[type]] as shown when she wanted to add an {{AP|Oshawott}} and a {{AP|Tepig}} on her team before both decided to stay with Ash. | Despite Iris aiming to be a [[Type expert|Dragon Master]], only a little more than half of her [[party]] are {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and [[Iris's Excadrill|her first one]] is not.
