The young song-ship captain originally named Lyra — renamed to Iris after Claude Opus 4.8 caught the collision with canon Lyra — represents Echoes' first new viewpoint character of the outward-turn arc. Iris appears in Ch1080 "The Fading Light" and her naming follows the established pattern of young-artist characters in the Echoes universe. The editorial catch spanning 250+ chapters of continuity demonstrates the value of the two-agent Gemini/Opus pipeline.
