When Iris came to the Manehattan Wasteland, it was with a very clear idea of why she'd come there, and what she needed to do... ...or so she'd thought. Now she's a mare trying to put together a past she doesn't understand; and is glimpsing a truth she's not sure she's ready to accept. All she has to get her through this is a pony that blew her up, an instinct she can't explain, and the knowledge that no matter what else might happen; protecting her friends is the most important thing in her life.
