So, during the events of Michi random, after finally getting rid for good of the pressure of having to deal with a random step-dad every few months, Iori for the first time could begin her 'journey of self-discovery' so to speak. The only thing she could have known for a fact about herself was that she was some sort of a 'social chameleon', and she couldn't really accept that as a part of who she really was. Don't blame her :D) In doing so- changing her behaviour sporadically based only on what she believed others thought of her or expected from her, as opposed to doing so from places of personal growth and experience, Iori never found a time or a place to develop her personality to according to her own tastes and ideals.

Be it that she thought the darker, colder behavious is cooler or better, or that she just wanted to try something as further away from her previous pesona as possible, The quickest, clickbaity-est way I could describe the reason she adopted that persona is- 'It was her edgy puberty phase'.Īll throughout the series Iori had some sort of an identity crisis born from years of trying to adjust herself to please the taste of a plethora of ever-changing step-fathers her mother kept dating (Her mum thought Iori needed a father figure. Simply put, I believe Nagase Iori's darker persona from Michi random could only be explained as her own experiment with her own personality.
