500-599 natural science
Iris Virga
PRONOUNS: she/her
AGE: 108
HEIGHT: 5'8" (173 cm)
HAIR/EYES: black-brown / dark honey
PLAYER: Degen
PRONOUNS: she/her
SQUICKS: breaking/pulling teeth; dementia and other mental damage effects (just ask if you're not sure!); harm to domestic cats
NOTABLE CHARACTER TRAITS: mixed-race Chiricahua Apache and white; unhealthy pallor to her skin; has an old burn scar on her right calf.
Iris is also a Vampire: The Requiem-style vampire (hence the pallor), meaning that she tends to give mortals and/or humans a faint impression of being something dangerous/predatory (generally mild enough to be overcome by acting socially normal, but it's still a thing characters can pick up on). Her fangs are likewise subtle unless she's feeding, or on the edge of losing control due to hunger, anger, or fear.

OTHER NOTES: If you're interested in vampire content(tm): Iris is willing to feed from humans and prefers doing so in intimate contexts; she's just got a massive guilt complex about it. Other vampire stuff (healing others with blood, vampire blood addiction, enthrallment), however, takes a lot more in the way of extenuating circumstances. Still, we can chat! I love fucked up and evil situations.

"The Uses of Sorrow"

(In my sleep I dreamed this poem)

Someone I loved once gave me
a box full of darkness.

It took me years to understand
that this, too, was a gift.

- Mary Oliver
