Iris lacks humility, modesty, and more social skills, this was better reflected in her flashback episodes, the writers had a good character in their hands full of defects that made she more three-dimensional and that could be developed through her journey. But fuck it!
In fact, I find a lot of parallels with Korrina's arc; Young apprentice leader, overconfident, with a lot of victories, but with her first big failure, she begins to doubt herself. The difference between the reception of Iris and Korrina is basically their relationship with Ash, while Korrina despite defeating (humiliatingly) Ash recognizes his talent and treats him as an equal, in fact there is a kind of professional courtesy between them, while with Iris despite being on an equal footing, she behaves in a contemptuous way with an aloof false superiority.
