Personality

Irma is a spunky, cheerful, optimistic, and humorous person. Compared to the other members of W.I.T.C.H., she often appears to be the least serious as she is known to crack jokes about almost anyone she comes in contact with. Despite her tendency to joke around when faced with a problem, she is a kind-hearted person that cares about those she has relationships with. When necessary, she exhibits leadership qualities. She also almost always wants to be center stage and, depending on the person, can or can't hold grudges for long. She also has a big appetite, revealed by the time she devours all of Mrs. Rudolph's cookies without a care for them being possibly poisoned, unlike the other more cautious Guardians. She is seen as the biggest flirt and boy expert of the group.

Profile

Irma has light brown hair and blue eyes. Her birthday is given as March 13, making her a Pisces. She lives in a house with her policemen father Mr. Lair, her pesky little seven year old brother Christopher Lair, and Anna Lair, who is her stepmother in the comics and her mother in the animated series. In the comics she has a pet turtle named Leafy, in whom she confides all her secrets.
Irma likes taking long baths and showers, shopping, rock music and making up nicknames. Her idol is Karmilla, a rock singer, but she's also a big fan of soccer player David Addams. Irma is crazy about boys and has had many different crushes, most notably on Andrew Hornby. She is good friends with a boy named Martin Tubbs, who has a monster crush on her but in the second season she proved that she had slight feelings for him. She can often be seen using her powers for personal gain.
Irma can be a bit squemish at times, and once fainted when she saw Mrs. Rudolph in her true Meridian form.
As the Guardian of Water, Irma controls water as well as having other advanced powers. Her theme color is Turquoise and her symbol is a blue wave crest.

Powers

Irma Lair controls the element of water, and her powers vary very little from the comics to the animated series. She can also can make herself invisible and others too, just like the other Guardians. She also can fire star balls.

Element Abilities

Irma Lair is the Guardian of Water. She can manipulate all forms of water. She can Freeze water or evaporate water as please. In the beginning of the comics she cannot create water, stating that she cannot "wring the stuff" out of thin air. In one issue she created an air bubble to stop the girls from drowning. But in issue 25 she is now able to generate water from drawing moisture from the air as water. However, in the animated, she could conjure water anywhere she desired, even in Kandrakar. This is up for discussion because Kandrakar is another world and doesn't necessarily have the same physical laws or things that Earth does. In the animated series, Irma was shown to be able to cause rain.

Advanced Element Abilities

Irma can change the physical appearance of things or people. She can also influence minds, controlling people's decisions and actions by mentally thinking of a command or suggestion. Irma also has good intuition. Her newest power is that she sees visions in the water and she is very afraid of it.
