Career
On 30 November 2020, the hololive official account announced auditions for a VSinger for hololive English, which stayed open until 29 January 2021 (JST). On 7 July 2021, a countdown on the hololive English channel led to an animated teaser revealing IRyS as the first VSinger of the branch. She was introduced as the only member of a new branch called Project: HOPE. Her debut stream took place on her YouTube channel on July 11, 2021.
Project: HOPE was disbanded on October 9, 2023, and it was merged with hololive English -Council- to form hololive English -Promise-. IRyS became a member of the new unit alongside Ceres Fauna, Ouro Kronii, Nanashi Mumei and Hakos Baelz. Community wikis report that the unit was later renamed hololive -Promise- after the branches were merged into hololive.

In the profile, her feelings go into her lyrics and songs. Her appearance can briefly shift toward the angelic or demonic side depending on her emotions and other factors. Community wikis describe her as sweet and somewhat shy, with a soft, high-pitched speaking voice and a more powerful tone when singing.
