Character History

Iori Minase

After a group of Otaku declares their intent to take their beloved idol Iori Minase away some time before an upcoming concert, 765 Productions contracts QB Heavy Industries for extra security. Chiaki Matsuda is assigned as Ioris personal bodyguard until her departure to America for her world tour. Considering the fact that another idol, Yayoi Takatsuki, was assaulted and raped without the standard security even noticing, the need for highly capable security detail seems appropriate. Ioris first impression of Chiaki is all but favorable. Smoking and smelling of alcohol, Ioris first order for her bodyguard is to take a bath, or at least brush her teeth. Despite her confident appearance, Iori is concerned but calms down after Chiaki assures her safety. Talking about her coworker and friend Yayoi makes her strong facade fade, revealing a worried and hurt girl. Chiaki showing compassion and making jokes makes Iori open up to her. The sudden unannounced visit of Yayoi causes arguments when Chiaki roughly searches the frail girl for weapons, making Iori slap her. Iroi demands her and Yayoi being left alone, which her guard firmly refuses. Indignant the idol proclaims to call for a different bodyguard the next day and that she hates and pities Chiaki who refuses to stay as far away as possible. Determined to spend the night with each other, the idols opt to ignore the bodyguard and engage in intimacy under the sheets for about an hour. Later, while her bodyguard is under the influence of an illusion spell cast by Yayoi, who turns out to be a Magical Girl imposter posing as the idol, five men in heavy gear break through the skylight and attempt to rape Iori much like the real Yayoi. Terrified screams for help turn into horror from both Iori and the green haired Magical Girl as Chiaki messily murders the would be rapists, one of them a member of the idols security detail, with a pair of guns. Naked and with a corpse just removed from her, Iori shivers and cries while clinging to Chiaki after the short time it took her to shoot the Magical girls legs off and tie her up. Getting the gore washed off of her, Iori slowly calms down, further opening up to Chiaki, thanking her for saving her life. As Mami Tomoe arrives to take care of Iori instead, she requests Chiakis cellphone number before she leaves.

Retirement

After the event, the world tour is postponed by the Producer and Iori is to lay low for a while. The safe house she stays at for the time being turns out to be Chiaki Matsuda's apartment of all places, the safest place in the city according to Tomoe Mami. In reality Iori herself insisted on this arrangement, requesting it to appear as QB Heavy Industries idea. Agreeing to the house rules regarding alcohol and arms, Iori reveals that the real Yayoi killed herself after her assault, leaving Chiaki as the only one she knows in the area. Discovering the heavenly taste of Mamis pancakes, the idol is made to promise not to listen to talking cats, despite giggling at the idea. The next morning, the sleeping Iori clings to Chiaki, touching herself shortly after her host carefully extracted herself to start working. Fully awake later, the idol expresses concern for Chiakis safety during her job but believes in her ability to protect herself. During Chiakis absence, Iori plays videogames with Kyoko Sakura and Mami Tomoe. Shortly after Mami is abducted by Kirika Kure while standing watch in front of the apartment. Iori stays with Kyoko until the situation is taken care of and later arrives at the scene of Kirikas retirement, finding Chiaki unconscious with an arm missing. On the way Iori nearly kicked Kyubey into the traffic following Chiakis advice not to talk to alien cats. Seeing the scene, Iori realizes that Magical Girls are real and just how dangerous Chiakis work really is, crying over her unconscious form, but calming down after talking once the Magical Girl wakes up. She supports the exhausted Chiaki walking and gets her home for dinner, feeding her guardian with home cooking.

Recuperation & Maid to Kill

The next day Iori accompanies Chiaki to the Officio, keeping close physical contact all the while until the Magical Girl meets with her boss. Quietly watching the encounter between Chiaki and Oriko Mikuni, Iori then spends time with Mami while her guardian engages in interrogations. Iori is waiting in the lobby, accompanied by Mami to give Chiaki a new cellphone, before heading out to the shopping center with her, obviously plotting something. Later Ioro requests Chiakis three sizes via phone. After shopping, the idol prepares dinner together with Mami, gretiing Chiaki happily upon her return. She sits silently through a Magical Girl meeting in Chiakis apartment concerning golden weapons, witches and insanity. Afterwards Iori reveals that she hired Chiaki for another assignment, namely escorting her to a black tie event in a mansion in upper Mitakihara. Wearing a maid uniform. A week after the retirement of Kirika Kure, Iori has been going out with Mami nearly every day, Chiaki never coming along. The night of the gala, Kyoko acts as chauffeur and support after Chiaki decides to carry a golden weapon with her, wearing the butler uniform meant to be an alternative to Chiakis maid dress. On the way Iori tells Chiaki about the guests attending. Mostly fellow 765 Production idols, but also a big investor by the name of Lance Kilgore, whom she doesn't like. There is no real agenda except for staying until the end after roughly six hours and the idol expect things to go smoothly, telling Chiaki to relax. She tells Chiaki that she doesn't really want to attend since this is the first time without Yayoi, who loved these events. Iori informs Chiaki that she will speak in a different tone inside, refering to the guests as a wretched hive of scum and villainy, admitting some exceptions. When meeting her friends, she plays her assault down, saying she had someone trustworthy protecting her. One friend, Chihaya, mentions that Iori disliked the idea of a maid following her, the other, Takane, reckognizing Chiaki as a guardian. She asks her name, getting quite close to Chiaki, causing a small outburst of jealousy from Iori, after which she dismisses Chiaki to migle with her peers. The presence of Lance Kilgore makes Iori nervous. Chiaki pretends there is a phone call for her to remove her client from Kilgores presence, upon which he takes an interest in the golden weapon. Iori feigns anger at her slow servant, walking off to a balcony, nervously asking what happened. She is frightened by hearing about Kilgores golden weapon, but persuades Chiaki not to kill him because her friends and innocents are present in return for leaving the event early. Following Chiakis request, Iori talks to Garcia Lovelace to give him an autograph, jumping in surprise as her maid pats her rear. After signing an entire page with a detailed autograph, she demands praise only to be interrupted by Lance Kilgore starting his "first ever bloodbath challenge". When hell breaks loose, Chiaki clears an exit with her golden Desert Eagle, passes Iori receives her phone with the instruction to call Kyoko for backup before being shoved out the door. Despite being panicked she is still concerned about her friends inside while escaping with Lovelace, his maid, Takane and an unconscious Chihaya and is set into the armored car by Kyoko shortly after. After the fight they are recovered by Officio personnel.
