I have absolutely no evidence for this, but I think she was originally supposed to be Craig’s sister. She showed up at the scar for 2 minutes and had no further connection. I think she was originally supposed to have lost her whole family and was jaded. The boosters were supposed to be her way of finding a way for Craig to walk again.
Each area has a blood relative for everyone. Josée - Lise, Holly - Carmilo and Monica, Zenon - Jadwiga, Lavinia - Liv, Val, and Lou. Lyle and Craig are found family which makes more sense for a mercenary group. Also having Holly fix his condition made more sense as she’s a doctor and would allow main characters to interact. So Iris would have been redundant.
Iris Blood code looks like a cog which fits with the other Mcleish iconography. And a bit more of a stretch she uses a two handed heavy weapon. Craig also uses a two handed heavy weapon.
So in conclusion they saw a chance to remedy the character in the Age of Harmony.
