Physical Description: Iris is relatively
fit in more of a rugged I-can-win-a-barfight
sort of way than a sporty way,
and is the kind of gangly that
make her inherent curvyness go
somewhat unnoticed. She is a big
fan of tattoos; she has one on her ribs
below her chest of flowers, and two goldfish
mirroring each other just below her
collarbones.
Typical Clothing: Iris loves bright colors,
loose skirts, tunics and anything flowy
or light. With that said, silk scarves,
handkerchiefs and other flowy bits of fabric
have become an easy favorite of hers, usually
reserved for her "adventures" or parties,
she will tie them in her hair or to her pants
when she can get away with it. On a
normal day she'll deck herself out in
band tshirts, and (bellbottom) jeans.
Personality/Attributes
Personality/Attitude: Iris can be very, very stubborn. She is prideful; and while she can be as humble as a saint she doesn't get over things well and can hold a grudge like no other. She’s strong, and doesn’t let people down, but has pretty severe moodswings and when they hit, they hit. She is nowhere near stable; but she has gotten very good at hiding it over the years, or covering it up with amusement or joy. She is a bit of a delinquent, and even with the innocence she can't seem to shake will get into all sorts of trouble. She loves animals more than anything though, especially fish, and is very quickly and easily attached to anything. She has a bit of a complex regarding; she can't turn away something or someone that needs help. She is completely incapable; and sometimes it shows through more than she would like it to. She would rather seem unbothered by life than seem vulnerable; and thats hard to do when you are pre-programmed to love everything and everyone. She is also prone to forming habits; nail biting, fidgiting, repetitive behaviors, coping mechanisms and substance abuse, and is very quick to relate to things with the same issues.
Favourites/Likes: Iris loves freedom, and adventure. The thought of running away is far too enticing, but it isn't an option for her. It can't stop her from dreaming, though. She is deeply creative, and is known for her ability to think up dramatic ways to spice up vivarium for reptiles and amphibians alike.
Section: Reptiles and amphibians. She wanted to do something with aquatic animals or fishy, but prefers freshwater systems over marine, and had more qualifications for reptiles and amphibians native to freshwater ecosystems.
Most Hated/Dislikes: Iris has strong opinions regarding government, and doesn't like authority much. Be it the influence over her childhood, or some other outside force, she just doesn't like it. She balks at control, and its usually just a struggle to understand the point of all of it.
Fears: Never being good enough.
Hobbies/Interests: Music, exotic animals.
Other: Iris is generally pretty antisocial, and prefers animals over people. She was born in Chicago during the heatwave in 1995, and her mother told her that's why her hair was so red. Her absolute favorite reptile in the entire world is the Green Iguana, followed up by Retics. Both of which she enjoys handling a bit too much.
