Personal history
Iori was born to an impoverished family in A'Harat, at a young age her family was killed to gang violence and she lived on the streets since the age of 9. At 14 years old she decided to join the Sand Bandits, a large organization of thieves and bandits, to earn a bit of money.
Iori spend years following orders and working up the ranks. To hide her identity she donned a male persona with the pseudonym "Shyamal" and would cover up any explicitly feminine traits. Iori spent her days doing missions. She was fine with stealing, robbery, even threatening people who got out of line, but she hated the idea of hurting or killing innocents, and after enough times of her refusing hit jobs, the boss set a hit out for her.
In retaliation, Iori sought out the boss and challenged him to a fight. He lost and was killed on the spot, making Iori the new boss at 19 years old. Her first order of business was to change the Bandit's code, so that murdering innocents was a punishable offense.
The Goddess Knights
One afternoon, the Goddess Knights would be traveling the Alshiun desert by caravan. Iori was watching the caravan, with her crew, with the intention of robbing it, when a rogue gang of bandits got the jump on the caravan first. The Knights were outnumbered and surrounded. The bandits were prepared to kill all of them and loot the caravan later, that's when Iori stepped in. With the help of Iori's gang, the knights were able to dispose of the bandits. Sarah, their leader, expressed her gratitude and surpise that a fellow criminal would aid the Empire like that. Iori informed Sarah of her feelings of senseless murder and that she had heard of the Knights before and respected their cause. After the Knights dealt with a demon problem that was plaguing the village, they were stopped on their way out by Iori, who told Sarah she was interested in joing the Knights and that her gang would be loyal to them as well. Sarah accepted the offer and made Iori an official Knight. Over the next 9 years, Iori stayed true to her word and remained loyal to the Knights, becoming a very important and reliable member on the team. However that would change during the battle of Onford, where the Knights would be overwhelmed by the strength of the demons they faced. While paired up with Jérémie, they would be surrounded by shades. Iori was knocked off the island cliff, and Jérémie leaped to catch her, only barely doing so by extending his arm and pulling it out of the socket. While he was trying to pull Iori up, he was attacked by another shade, which severed his arm, dropping Iori. Jérémie lept off the the cliff, using the blood from his arm to cling to the rock. But Iori was falling too fast for him to catch up, and he was eventually stopped by the limits of his own blood. Iori fell to her death as Jer watched helplessly, clung to the side of the island.Sexuality

Iori swore her loyalty to Sarah as a thanks for protecting her village from demons. Iori is not one to ever break a promise if she can help it. Plus, joining the Knights automatically granted her a pardon for her prvious crimes which was pretty convenient.Social
Mannerisms
Iori is the type to not speak up very often and sit back in the corner of the room and listening to the conversation. She has a strong poker-face, and it's very difficult to tell how she is feeling or what she's thinking, which makes her a master at intimidation.
Iori speaks in a low, direct tone of voice, but when she is using her male persona, she will intentionally lower her voice so it sounds more masculine.
