Random fact about the character: Eira has a soft spot for romantic comedies! She likes to watch them at least once a week while eating strawberries and whipped cream.
Backstory: Eira comes from a very restrictive household, one where self-expression was limited. When she tried to make her style a bit brighter, bored of her uninspired outfits and surroundings, her new clothes were taken from her. Eira felt stifled in her home and sought another outlet for her creativity. She learned to sketch so her ideas and colors could be kept safe. She filled page after page with styles she wished she could wear. In order to keep her true intentions for sketching hidden, she learned to draw portraits to show her family when they asked what she was doing. Eira eventually picked up a job in a fabric store when she was a teenager, finding an escape in all of the bright bolts and the friendly owner, Yessenia. When Yessenia once caught a glimpse of Eira's outfit sketches, she offered to teach Eira how to sew and gifted her some fabric. Yessenia nurtured Eira, helping her realize her dreams and providing Eira a safe space to learn and be herself. Together they worked out a plan for Eira to leave home and find a place she could belong. As soon as Eira turned 18, she left and never looked back. She first dyed her hair the day after she left home, and now continues to do so while wearing her unique clothing as a symbol of her freedom. Eira now views Yessenia as a mother figure as well as one of her closest friends, and often consults her for advice on anything and everything.
Additional info: Eira owns a
sun conure named Louis that she's kept for five years. Whenever Eira is stressed she plays with Louis and he is always quick to calm her down and make her smile.

Additional info: Iris is a playful spirit, finding wonder and joy in the smallest of things. She is highly adventurous and loves to go off exploring either with friends or on her own. Iris sees life as a chance to have fun and make real memories. Ever the optimist, Iris rarely strays from her lighthearted, happy-go-lucky state of being. However, she can be a touch impatient if she sets her mind to something and can be careless in her pursuit of adventure. She is also a very honest friend - at times perhaps a bit too honest.
