Irman Lillian Lab[edit | edit source]
Though Irma is allied with GEHENA, their Irman Lillian Lab is a particularly benevolent branch which focuses on the medical treatment of Lilies suffering from the adverse effects of negative Magi. Lilies whose life or sanity were put in danger by experiments done by other factions of GEHENA, such as Kamigoori Marimo[1] and Maruyama Amane[2], are often brought to the Irman Lillian Lab for treatment.
The Irman Lillian Lab also designs CHARMs such as the AC-17RE Lichtbringer and does theoretical research on technology that can help Lilies like the Valkyria Skirt Magi Reincarnation System[3].
Crownshine Oath[edit | edit source]
Similar to Yurigaoka, Irma has a tradition called the Crownshine Oath (冠輝の誓い, Kanki no Chikai) where two Lilies will make a pledge of sisterhood.
To make the oath, they exchange the "Crownshine Bracelets" that they wear, and both Lilies put their bracelet on each other. These bracelets are crafted by the Lilies themselves, and are difficult enough to make that they normally require at least three people to work together on them[4]. The design motif of the bracelets is crown shyness[5].
The Crownshine Oath lacks some of the "common sense" restrictions typical of other oaths of sisterhood. Most notably, there is no limit upon how many others one can take this oath with, with one former Lily known to have taken it with at least ten people[6]. However, taking the oath with more than a few other people (one Lily who is older, one who is younger, and at most three others of the same age) is considered undignified[7].
School staff can enter into the oath as well[8].
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Irma frequently holds joint activities with Kamba due to their shared focus on the arts[9].
- There appears to be a naming theme among Irma's Lilies; the majority of them share their surnames with notable calligraphers.
