tbh now i think that our fight with Iris probably is a result of some sort of misunderstand rather than pure hostility
i mean, why else would she explain to us what Sea Curses are ?
maybe she was hunted as she has a lost magic, maybe she stole the scroll from someone or maybe she found it herself and someone want it
maybe after we came to Frostmill someone asked us to investigate the whole thing ( for whatever reason, maybe they heard about us after we kick the Hermit’s a$$ ) and then after that ask us to come and help her but then when we came she thought “oh sht enemy” and promtly (try to) kick our a$$ but after some talk no jutsu we’re chill again and happy ever after for 5 seconds
as for why she already has Flare when we fight her, it could be that she goes Rupin and just take the magic for herself after being chased and sht idk
My idea is that she got corrupted by the order and that after fighting her we free her from said corruption. Then she becomes an ally/friend of ours and helps us stop the order from corrupting more people to fight for them
Somebody has probably already stated this, but it’s probably somewhat similar to the Ramses plot, where the main antagonist used them to gain a wider influence over the Bronze Sea. (Just my guess)
I wonder if we actually gonna talk no Jutsu or just kill, it gonna be pretty funny make her hp go to 10- because a lost magic spell and she just goes “ok chill forgot the ravena i was kidding” on the next cutscene
