Irma Lair - Love Life

Love Life

Throughout the series, Irma is shown to be boycrazy and looking for a boyfriend. She even proudly said that she was, and always will, be a "gorgeous single". Even before the start of the series, in a special, "The Year Before", she was shown looking for a boyfriend. She goes as far as believing in one episode that a one-off character named Jewel, who has special psychic abilities, will keep his promise that he'll tell her who her boyfriend is going to be.

Like most girls in the comic book version Irma has sort of a love life. Irma is the only one in the comics who never had a relationship before, but unlike the others she tried the most to get a boy's attention. This first happened when she used her Guardian form to get into a club to meet a popular boy from school called Andrew Hornby. However he ended up trying to kiss her too soon and Irma accidentally turned him into a toad. Irma tried to get his and other popular guys' attention again by making her body grow. This backfired when her body almost did not change back due to her almost losing her powers.

Martin Tubbs has a crush on Irma and since the beginning he tried to get her attention and tried to flirt with her. Irma at first is not interested in him believing he is a dork and a nerd. When Irma's Astral Drop promised Martin to go on a date, the real Irma was forced to go with him despite her wishes. Despite her feelings and her dislike towards Martin she finds herself enjoying it and finds Martin funny. Martin also helps her with her homework when Irma's grades are going down. Later on, Astral Irma has become so sick of Martin that she calls him a dork and says to leave her alone. Because of this, Martin grows tired of Irma's behavior and decides to ignore her. When the Astral Drop disappears, Irma notices that Martin is ignoring her and tries to follow him and ask him to help her for homework again. However, Martin looks annoyed but still tries to be nice to her. Finally, later Irma talks to him and she tells Martin to give up on them ever being more than friends.

In Planet Boys Matt's cousin, Sean, shows he is interested in Irma and flirts with her openly and confidently. Irma, however, dislikes his behavior and tells him off despite the fact she is blushing. Joel, a friend of Matt's, has recently become close with Irma as they have many things in common and also talk for hours about the subjects they love. Irma also blushes around him. In the meantime Martin started a relationship with his French pen-pal. This shocks Irma and annoys her. Irma also often tries to get Martin jealous about her being with Joel but it does not seem work. Irma also has a hard time focusing on Joel with Martin nearby implying she herself is starting to like Martin, or always liked him without knowing it, and now with him not giving his full attention to her, she is obviously missing it. However, she admits to Joel that she likes him and embraced him in the process, while Joel replied that he also liked her. But they never seem to actually make it clear that their relationship is romantic, implying that the two meant that what they said about being just good friends.

In the new series, Irma finally has an actual boyfriend, named Stephen, who is a relatively new character in the story. She reveals to Stephen that she is a guardian during the New Power arc.

In volume 50 a possible future shows that Irma has become interested in Martin who grows up to be a handsome young man.
