>>50653391I agree, something that really hurt me is that they did not delve into Iris's fears and shortcomings, they had a perfect plot to develop as a wild orphan failed to adapt to modern society, easily part of her growth would have been learning about intelligence emotional and social behavior, accepting that that rough exterior was only a self-protection mechanism created from bad experiences (Something they handled with Goh, not a big deal but they tried)
Regarding her fear of cold, it was just a funny gag like Misty's phobia of Bugs, but it could easily have been a great plot with that, for example something similar to Luxray's death in one of the movies or investigate her origins, a village full of "white" people and she is the only person with dark skin. Even come up with a mini arc of her accepting Drayden as a father figure, as well as him trying to adjust to raising a foster daughter, a foster daughter who bites.
In short, it is a pity that it took a long time to know how to handle the character, since she has one of the best seiyu in my opinion.
