What elemental would a female secret society member can you imagine?
Rock?
Sand and time? lol (actaully I want a Za Warudo thing in Capcom games.)
Wind?
Water?
They don’t have to be elemental. Gill was, and Urien to some extent too. But their mystical secret techniques can expand in many directions. Like ‘Resurrection’ is not an elemental-type secret technique.

Urien - Electricity, Metal

Origins: Currently residing in Rhodes, Iro moved frequently throughout her life. Living on various islands in homes with impeccable sight lines and quick egress points. Although, they never spoke of it. It was clear to her that her parents were constantly on the run. Since she has been able to talk, her parents have brought in the finest tutors to educate her. This also holds true for her martial capabilities. Trained to her physical limits and studying until mental exhaustion daily. Through this rigid lifestyle she was able to master the Armor of Gaea** and the Blades of Themis*** two of the 66 Secret Arts described to Iro by her parents. After mastering those two arts, her parents placed her in the care of Antreas, the family steward, and sent her to the island of Rhodes.

Reasons to be in SFV:
Iro’s parents along with her adopted sister Dimitra**** were slain shortly after she was placed in Antreas care. Unbeknownst to Antreas, Iro has been investigatimg the murder of her family. All of her leads point to a mysterious man with white hair and a jewel in his forehead…
Side Note:
- Iro’s headband conceals a green gem in her forehead. This glows upon activation of her V-Trigger and during her critical art.
- Gaea is the mother of all Greek Titans and Gods. The Goddess of earth
- Aura is the Titan Goddess of Wind
- Themis is the Titan goddess of divine law and order
- Iro’s doesn’t know that Dimitra was adopted as her body double. While Iro was sequestered away in the family estate only leaving the grounds when they were moving to another location. Dimitra has allowed to go out in public. They also had a green gem implanted in her forehead. They tipped off the Illuminati to their location after Iro was sent away. In their eyes, they were finally granting their daughter her freedom.

I could imagine that she’s a bit angry that Gill is speeding up the prophecy and that Urien is trivializing the society. So she and maybe some NPC OG members try to stop them both and maybe even team up with the protagonists. She doesn’t necessarily need to have elemental powers but have some strange mystic thing.
To bring up a comparison with Big Fire I can see her being similar to Hanzui from GR having suspicions about the new blood are corrupting their ideals for their own gain
Since the SF version of the Illuminati seem to be rooted around the Mediterranean maybe have her be of Amazigh descent to clash with Gill+Urien being possibly Greek/Italian.
She should be naked (ala Mystique) with an extraordinary skin color and texture. It can be tastefully done.

Nope, I prefer modesty over flashiness
I would be fine whatsoever as long that she is an aged woman. lol
so will definitely getting a goddess
I would say like Monica Bellucci but she’s supposed to be the inspiration for Rose.
So now we need a new inspiration for a new character?
I’m all for a female boss. I think its time.

You know I’m thinking a Connie Nielsen type is what you and @The_Shakunetsu are looking for.

Yeah, no McGuffin induced young looking female boss. I want, elegant, mature, deadly warrior queen types not an elderly woman who looks young for anime plot reasons.
Back in the 90s I’d dig a kinda Grace Jones African warrior queen type of SF boss.
