Iori/Plot

Early Life
Iori's parents were a pair of conmen, focusing on swindling small villages and unsuspecting travelers. Their main disguise was that of a traveling troupe where Iori was made to act as a fortune teller, giving false bad fortunes to convince customers to buy expensive trinkets. The family eventually came to the Soot Island where they fell victim to the soot charcoal, settling in the Mining Village. They set up a small grocery store, selling preserved goods and rarely fresh produce. Iori eventually met Ne and befriended them by offering some snacks.

Manor
Iori is assigned to the same team as Glen and Weiss. He appeared after Glen and Weiss leave their positions to help Merle to get his team members back to work.

Debut
On the morning of the Debut, Emory is confident about his chances of succeeding, and Iori puts on a veil to hide his face. They gather with the rest of their class in front of the Hall of Glory where they meet the examiner of their Debut, Alistair. Moving into a parlor, Emory and Iori mainly sit off to the side, choosing not to take part in most of the conversation. They finally play a role in lowering the standing of Fionnan, by pointing out how Weiss' name implies Fionnan does not care about him, distressing the younger boy. Once conversation dies down, Alistair leads the Shadows out the garden, telling the Dolls who are staying behind to find a way out of the room which will now be locked.

Phantom Incident
Iori is present during the morning announcements and quickly goes to clean, not hearing his team leader try to motivate him. A large number of Scorches bursts through a vent, causing havoc. Seeing his fellow Dolls get attacked, Iori is partially relieved when his team is ordered to retrieve the emergency tools. Once his team returns, Glen gets dragged into the Phantom's mouth to Iori's shock. He makes a half hearted attempt to help his team leader, deciding it will be safer to keep a distance.
