#like do you understand my vision. she’s everyone’s daughter/little sister/cousin she is just so loveable

[tranquilitybasehotelcasino]

if you ask iris about her family she’ll list off like

drayden - grandpa the first, supervises her pokemon-wrangling, tries to teach her about politics and when it inevitably fails he just takes her to the park and pushes her super high on the swings

alder - grandpa the second, always has interesting stories and gives really GOOD advice, knows a million rhyme songs and jump rope games and stuff like that, always gets her souvenirs from wherever he goes

caitlin - big sister that is really good at doing hair in fancy styles, good resource for Teenage Girl Problems, will only do tricks with her psychic powers at iris’ requests (no one else’s)

grimsley - cringe uncle that gives really BAD advice, teaches her how to cheat at every card game ever invented and always lets her stay up as late as she wants even though he’s not supposed to

shauntal - world’s best auntie that has never once not told a good bedtime story, also lets iris stay up past her bedtime, good cook and fun to play make-believe with

marshal - cool older brother that can always be counted on for ice cream money, also always comes to watch her exhibition matches, fun to watch reality shows with

lance - epic win dad that takes her to the amusement park and checks for ghost types under her bed, lets her wear his cape around even though she drowns in it

diantha - awesome mom that makes her soup when she’s sick and comes to cheer her on at all her exhibition matches and gives her lipstick kisses on her cheeks despite all protests

leon and hop - cousins she doesn’t see in person that much but has very fond memories of and talks to on skype all the time, always sending and receiving silly christmas cards

clair - aunt that buys her crazy birthday presents and can pick her up and swing her around like she doesn’t weigh anything, always helps her with her math homework, took iris to get her ears pierced even though lance got mad

drasna - best grandma ever that also always has good stories to tell and lets iris wear her old dresses and jewelry for fun, takes her to museums and stuff all the time to look at the artwork

agatha - has asserted herself as lance’s (and now iris’ by proxy) weird witch of a grandma that knows all the swear words and offers to lay curses when people come to her for romance advice

plus like six other people but if you actually look into it the only ones that are actually related to her are drayden (not bloodwise but he’s her legal guardian) and the postwick brothers (kids of the sibling of one of iris’ parents assumedly? who knows they’re just her cousins) like the rest of them are just people she’s accidentally endeared herself to forever because she’s incredibly prodigiously loveable
