From Gods, Demigods & Demons: An Encylopedia of Greek Mythology by Bernard Evslin

Iris (EYE rus): The rainbow-goddess, and Hera's messenger. She flew about on Hera's errands very much as Hermes did for Zeus. However, she was of dazzling good nature and carried messages for other gods as well. She was a natural peacemaker. After a violent storm she sent a many-colored streamer arching across the sky to gladden men's hearts with a promise of fair weather.

She really doesn't come into the bar much: a year flies by when you've been around as long as she has. But when she is there...

Iris' long hair tends to be seen as brown, but sometimes she'll give herself colored highlights or colors all of it. Her eyes, when not hidden behind rose colored glasses, vary in color. Technically she had feathery wings, but most people don't really notice them.

99% of the time you'll find her in flip flops and with a messenger bad somewhere nearby.
