But since it didn't turn out that epic, and there were complaints of her name originally being 'Lyra Crystal', she was converted to be the third in series on a whim. I don't have a real attachment to Crystal (or really anyone from Johto, so I have her that slot at the same time Iris was released. That was the point where I decided to make a series out of it with a theme in mind; with no other real meaning but to put out more content and exercise creativity, etc.
So Iris is indeed my overall favorite in Unova. For Kalos my favorite is Grant & animu Bonnie, but I didn't want to make/convert either into a Trelick because it's a cop-out. I honestly don't like the original Fairy Girl art that much either, but I had a theme idea for her, which brings us to #6...
