* TheBeautifulElite: She comes from the wealthiest and most powerful family in town and she's a delicately beautiful girl.



* LastLousyPoint: She's at odds with the fact that a person as brilliant as Oreki is at the same time so morose and lazy; as such, this is the reason why she's not fond of praising Oreki.

The Hyouka books are not light novels. They're novels.


* WhatBeautifulEyes: Her eyes light up when her curiosity has peeked. Oreki can't help but be drawn to her gaze. In the light novels, he states that he blames her big eyes as the reason his energy-saving lifestyle is being currently foiled.

Per TRS, Jerkass Facade is deprecated, primarily in favor of Hidden Heart Of Gold.


* HiddenHeartOfGold:
** [[spoiler:When she has a goal in mind, Irisu is [[LackOfEmpathy cold, emotionless]] and [[ManipulativeBitch manipulative]]. However, in the last episode, it is revealed that this is no more than a facade, since behind her coldness is a very friendly girl.]]
** [[spoiler:It's shown during her chat with Tomoe that Irisu is remorseful of what she did to Oreki, but even so, Tomoe tells Irisu that she should have told Hongo herself that she didn't think that the script was good enough, instead of roping Oreki into doing her bidding in the most roundabout way she could muster, just so that she could save face.]]

However, an aspect of this he has been able to exploit is the fact that she can be momentarily satiated with another distraction whenever he feels that her main line of questioning might be too expensive energy-wise.



* SheCleansUpNicely: Invoked. During the Hinamatsuri parade at her town, she is dressed so nicely as the "Empress" that Oreki even considers quitting his energy-saving lifestyle at the mere sight of her. She looked ''that'' gorgeous.

* DistractedByTheSexy: He is very strong-minded about his quest for laziness, and can fend off anyone that tries to barge in... except for Chitanda. He cannot stop her, he cannot dissuade her, he cannot say no to her, and he cannot rid himself of her. She's just ''that'' appealing to him, and she ticks on every box he has.

* YouKeepTellingYourselfThat: Invoked by Satoshi. He tells Oreki that his motto turned from a mantra into an excuse, and that his efforts turned from "energy economy" to ''satisfying Chitanda's curiosity''.

In her chat with Irisu, she implies that [[spoiler:while she herself set up the situation for Hotaro to be tricked by Irisu, and that Hotaro was a dummy for not catching on until it was too late, Tomoe is not OK with Irisu having ended up hurting Hotaru with the whole mess, especially when [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot Irisu could have just been sincere with Hongo from the beginning by telling her that her script sucked]].]]

* ObliviousToLove: Played with. He seems somewhat unaware of Chitanda's attraction to him, and often rebukes her efforts to include him and make him part of her life with simple dismissal. To Chitanda, Oreki is simply one of the best people she's ever met, and regardless of any love development, he is a person that she considers essential in her life.


Added DiffLines:

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Played with. [[spoiler:Albeit she tells Oreki that she did not mean it when she called him a "special" person, it's implied that by that time, Irisu was basically unable to backtrack on her manipulations of Oreki, and opted to take the brunt load of his scorn instead of insulting his intelligence by sugarcoating her actions. She later tells Tomoe that this is not what she wanted to happen, but Tomoe dismisses her as a coward, both to Hotarou, and to Hongo in the first place; Irisu let the situation balloon until Hotarou realized what was happening, albeit much too late]].
