[Manga] Iris Theory (100 Years Quest Manga Spoilers)

First I just want to say that this more of an idea but it is also technically a theory as well and I mainly just want to get this off my chest, but I hope you guys enjoy reading this regardless.

Simply put I’ve been wondering for a while now if Lucy’s fictional character Iris, whom the former created could come to life.

(1). We already have objects becoming living beings such as Zeref’s demonic books, Lucy’s doll in the anime and Irene’s swords, so the idea of Iris coming to life already has some basis to happen in the series.

(2). We also have other characters such as Selene and Athena being introduced in the 100 Years Quest and are named after Greek goddesses and Iris would suspiciously fit that naming theme quite nicely.

(3). During the final chapter of Fairy Tail it’s mentioned that Iris as a character is directly based off of Lucy herself, meaning that Iris is Lucy‘s Author Avatar and thus probably would look a lot like her if she became real, presumably including having blonde hair. Much later during the beginning of the Ignia arc Natsu discusses whether his kids with Lucy would have blonde hair or pink hair, with the pink hair being represented by Nasha.

(4). Hiro loves contrasting and Paralleling Natsu and Lucy both with each other and with other characters. Now if Iris came to life she would at least thematically be the Larcade to Lucy’s Natsu in the sense of being Lucy’s clone. On a side note this would also take Lucy looking like her family members to it’s logical conclusion.

Now compare Zeref, Mavis, Larcade and August in Natsu’s beta heaven and compare them to a hypothetical of Natsu, Lucy, Iris and Nasha.

Zeref/Natsu (Dragneel Dad)

Mavis/Lucy (Blonde Mom)

Larcade/Iris (Blonde Clone of a Strongest team member)

August/Nasha (Bio kid)

This last part is curtain a stretch but I’ll put here anyway cause why not.

(5). Natsu as a person isn’t above steeling things without permission from others such as taking the S-class job for Geluna Island or keeping king Toma’s crown, so the idea of him secretly steeling Lucy’s Adventure of Iris book from Sabertooth’s library isn’t as impossible as it sounds. Furthermore, we also have Viernes a dragon who’s powers involve creating concepts, most notably creating the fake Duke. Natsu would later get beaten at the Gold Owl guildhall which is where Viernes gets revived and as we see with Aquarius’ key lacrima’s can grow around objects. I’m not sure if all or any of it will happen but simply put I believe that Viernes’ power could be used either directly or indirectly as one possible method of bringing Iris to life.

These last few are admittedly more for plain fun then anything else and are just some of the most obvious ones that I could think off of the top of my head, if you think of any on you’re own please share,

(6). Just for the heck of it imagine the comedy, such as Iris declaring Natsu and Lucy her “parents” with Lucy freaking out over the whole thing as a callback to Edolas Nasha while Natsu being fully on board with being a dad. Their guild mates freaking out or believing that Natsu and Lucy finally banged. Natsu rubbing it in Gajeel’s face that he beat him in having a kid first, with Gajeel lampshading that it’s either cheating thanks to Iris’ artificial existence or that Iris is technically only Lucy’s kid.
