–Iori, Book of the Purple Tear
Iori (이오리, Ioli) is a Color Fixer known as The Purple Tear. She is an interdimensional traveler who wishes to see her mysteriously lost son, and attempts to arrange the right circumstances for this to happen through mentoring and teaching young to-be fixers, most notably Argalia and possibly Roland. Though she is hinted about her role by Roland, she is first seen in her namesake Episode following her forced retreat by The Reverberation Ensemble.
Iori is a towering, mature woman with straight dark hair that goes down to her ankles and transitions into a purple color, pulled back with a silver hairband that shows a receding hairline. She wears a purple coat that signifies her Color Fixer title, lustrous and with a snakeskin pattern to it and cinched with a pair of beige belts. Underneath, she wears what appears to be a mesh top that shows her cleavage and black leggings, accessorized with a gold collar, a pair of earrings and a single ring on her left hand.
She additionally wields a set of three blades: A rapier with a white-dashed sheath and a snake-shaped guard, used for pierce attacks, a straight sword entirely colored purple, used for slash attacks, and a massive, rectangular greatsword on her back, with a black-colored blade and red ribbons on it used for blunt attacks.
Personality
Iori is a smug yet intelligent individual that has taken the task to mentoring Argalia, A certain fixer, and Kali. She seems more knowledgeable than she lets on, leading Argalia astray til he found out through The Voice. Even then, when confronted, she isn't even aggravated and instead decides to talk to him casually.
She is a mother and she cares dearly for the child she lost 40 years ago; her finding him well is the sole reasoning for her actions throughout the game.
She is also a driving force in Leviathan and her action ripples through Vergilius's life.

The Purple Tear’s Page
If you’re reading this book, it must mean there’s something you want to know about me. I’m sure you have lots of questions, but I sadly can’t give out detailed answers. It’s hard to come up with a definition and explanation for a power that naturally emerged, you see? How should I put it, in that case…
I can travel through time and space and see a myriad of possibilities, too many for you to possibly fathom. It’s probably a little bit different from time travel as you commonly imagine it. The future self who experienced a certain past returns to it in order to change the future… Whatever is going on in the past, some kind of paradox is bound to happen to causality. Big or small. Little things can set off massive twists, like the flap of a butterfly’s wings causing a tornado… And even I’m afraid of bearing that risk. It could turn into a cycle of meaningless struggles.
Yeah. I guess it’s fairer to say that I travel to a completely different space. Ever thought about the possibility that an infinity of different versions of the world you live in might exist? Let’s say that you sidetracked on your way home and were killed by some Syndicate members that ambushed you. But in another world, you might have decided you wanna go straight home, and the assault would’ve never happened. Or, you might have noticed the Syndicate members as soon as you stepped into the wrong alley and quickly got back on track. Those small choices can add up, and result in countless worlds where countless outcomes unfold. …I know what you’re thinking; this isn’t logic that can realistically be proven. I know all of this sounds unbelievable. People can’t understand me because of that, and even I have difficulty explaining myself.
I made it sound grandiose, but this power isn’t almighty by any means, so I try not to use it carelessly. Not that I expect you to care for such details. It’s already complicated enough as it is, isn’t it? Just know that this power isn’t omnipotent. No power is conveniently given to you in this world, after all; there’s always a price you need to pay, and there is a world I yearn to reach, no matter that price. I’m doing this so I can find the world where I can see that possibility.
And in the many worlds I’ve been to while doing this job… I saw many people who were lost after losing their precious stuff, just like me. I couldn’t just pass them by. They looked so miserable and pitiful. Well… It wasn’t entirely out of goodwill. The fact that they were worth helping played a big part. Once again, nothing in this world is free. I didn’t quite pity them as much as I weighed up the favors they could give me in return. Thanks to that, I’ve become acquainted with quite a few Fixers… And as corny as it is to say this myself, some even started calling me their mentor, and became my devoted admirers.
Lots of people ask me what I’m going to such great lengths to see. A leading figure that commands powerful Fixers who are on the level of a Color? I dunno. All I want is to meet my son, whom I had to part with in the most unfortunate way. Meaning I don’t care about the ancillary stuff. I can see it so faintly… It almost seems to be within my reach, but it always ends up being a mirage.

Combat Dialogue
Iori has special dialogue if she fights against Roland, Gebura, or Binah.
Combat Entrance
Well, then… Shall I test your skills?
I wonder how big the Library has gotten.
Since we have the time, let’s slowly warm up.
Victory Cry
I was hoping for more, but I guess you weren’t at that point yet…
That was pretty fun. Buuut… I guess you aren’t quite there yet.
Death
Good… You’re growing strong, slowly but steadily.
On Kill
You still haven’t figured yourself out, have you?
Hm, that was below my expectations.
You’ve done an excellent job holding out against me for so long. Too bad, though.
You should be better prepared the next time we meet, kid?
You’re pretty good. It’s been a long time since I got so much pressure in a fight.
My, and you sounded so confident… Is this really the best you could do?
Combat Entrance
Uh-uh, stay still, and don’t peep a word.
You’re doing pretty alright, I see.
Victory Cry
Was that really your best?
Death
…Yeah. You’ve shown me that sending you here was worth my while.
Special Event
C’mon, now… You’ve gotten a lot softer.
Special Event line notes
Used if Iori kills Roland.
Combat Entrance
I can’t really consider you to be the same being that Kali was, can I?
Let’s see if you remember my teachings… Care to show me?
Victory Cry
Kali. Your pupils were certainly a bit tricky to deal with.
Death
You remember it well…
Special Event
Figured your strength wouldn’t be the same as before…
Special Event line notes
Used if Iori kills Gebura.
Combat Entrance
Well… It’s no surprise that you’re here.
I’ve seen you a few times before, so…
Victory Cry
Even with a being like that, there was no difference.
