Iroha (Samurai Shodown)

Iroha is a character from the Samurai Shodown series. She is one of the main protagonists and new characters from Samurai Shodown VI.

She is a crane who transforms herself into a Japanese maid. She serves her master and appears to think of him as the most important aspect of her life. Her master is unknown, but is likely to be the player him/herself as she often bows and speaks to the player before and after her fights. Creators have confirmed this in an interview, adding that she is specifically talking to the male players.

In the Heroes Coalition fics, Iroha is a member of the Heroes Coalitions and is part of the Team G.O.A.T. (Greatest of all Time).

Appearance
Iroha is a young lady with a fair skin with a short dark blue hair and has blue eyes. She has a curvaceous figure with large breasts and wide hips. She is currently wearing an attire that crosses between a kunoichi and a french maid with large ribbons in the back and toeless high-thighs. Her attire slightly reveals her cleavage, side breast and her hips are wide open.

Personality
Iroha is an obedient and cheerful maiden. She deeply cares for her master, trying her hardest to stay in her human form whilst in front of him.

Abilities
She fights with two butterfly swords and relies on her speed for close ranged combat. She can also double jump. Several of her moves hint to her original form as a crane such as her projectile (a white feather) and her normal fighting stance. The most obvious reference is her POW move, where she grabs her opponent and, behind shoji doors, disrobes and physically beats her foe. Her silhouette during this sequence briefly changes into a crane.
 * Transformation - Iroha can change into her original shape whenever she needs.
 * Pyrokinesis - Iroha can control fire.
