 To say that Iris is brightly colored is a bit of an understatement, covered as they are in either shimmering, polychromatic scales or rainbow-hued feathers. Even their eyes, with vertical slitted pupils, scintillate through every shade and hue as the light hits them from different angles, and the sharply pointed spiralling horns that sweep back from their forehead shift through the visible spectrum from base to tip with each spiral they make.

 Aside from looking like they were barfed up by Quetzalcoatl after he got way too drunk on distilled rainbows, Iris has the kind of figure that magazine covers suggest to women they should be willing to kill for, even if the women on those covers generally only manage with airbrushing what Iris came to at great personal cost. That said, there are a couple of notable exceptions: first there are the wings that are usually held tucked tightly against their back, nestled in as well as a bird's. Second, there's the whip-slender tail, as dazzling multicolored as the rest of them. And third, the thing about serpents (and, apparently, dragons) is that they're reptiles, and what need do reptiles have to breasts? If they have any under the plumage that covers their chest, they're possibly too small to really count.

 Also, their razor sharp carnivore teeth are the kind of thing that dentists have nightmares about, and the talons on the ends of their fingers and toes would probably leave all but the most careful manicurists in need of some stitches. Fortunately, their nails seem to benefit/suffer from the same over-use of color that the rest of her does, and thus come pre-painted.
