Iris

[Iris Dove]

Iris Basic Information Race: Kelvic (Java Dove) Birthday & Age : 509 AV, Appears 19, is about 1 and a quarter years old Gender: Female Physical Description Height: 5'7 Weight: 115 lbs Hair: Long, blonde, and wavy Eyes: Black Iris is a very tall girl, at least to her, everyone she has ever met was shorter than her, and sometimes, this makes her feel awkward. She has a classical hourglass shape, and fair skin. Her lips are a very strong pink, like a rose. Her eyes are so dark in contrast to her skin, that sometimes it scares people. She isn't very muscular looking at all, and could even be considered weak. She usually leaves her hair down, but sometimes, she'll put it up in a loose pony-tail. Character Concept Iris is a gifted hunter. She had to learn how to take care of herself while in-between masters. She has a very good sense of sight, and knows a lot about the plants in Sylira, she has the professor to thank for that. She is fiercely loyal to her master, but not much for fighting if she feels it can be avoided. She isn't very strong physically, and can be rather naive. Due to her having been passed from master to master, she knows little. She is trying to learn, but can be rather slow, and a little too trusting of others. Because she knows nothing other than serving a master or a mistress, that is all she seems to want. It doesn't seem right when she cannot serve someone loyally. Even so, she is a fairly brave girl, and can take care of herself. The fact that she has been called different things- both the name her parents gave her, and Iris by her youngest master, has caused her to struggle with her identity at times- until she learned to accept the name change, she truly struggled with wondering who on earth she was. She is very stealthy, and knows how to blend in if she so chooses. She isn't a very flashy person, she likes to dress simply. Sometimes, this may be too simple, since she prefers to wear next to nothing. It's far easier on her. As naive as she is, Iris makes up with it with her good heart. She is very caring, and peaceful, however, this very nature, which can serve as a great strength can also be a great weakness, for she doesn't like to have to eat meat, or watch others get hurt. In fact, if such a thing happens, the emotions she feels can overwhelm her, and can sometimes, come very close to destroying her. Character History She was born in Sylira, to the name of Purple Dove, but didn't live there long. As a young(er) girl, she was taken from her nest by a strange man who was shrouded in shadow and darkness. He later sold her to an old man, who had her refer to him as the professor. He taught at the school all about herbs. It's how Purple Dove became so interested in them. He later died of a heart attack in his old age, and she wept for him over his deceased form for a long time. Later, his son gave me to his young daughter, who had a twin brother. The brother liked to pluck out her feathers whenever she was in her animal form, and the girl, Paloma, would clutch Purple Dove roughly into her chest as if Purple Dove could keep all the dark things out. Paloma took to calling Purple Dove "Iris," so she dropped her original name for it. Paloma always kept a thin golden thread tied around Purple Dove's left foot, so she couldn't transform. All she could do was flutter about Paloma's room. After a few years, a fire broke out in the home, the cook wasn't very skilled, if you know what that means, and the family died, and once again, Iris was forced to move on. Her next master was a middle-aged thief, who had her work as his spy, tell him whether or not it would be easy to steal from a certain house or not. He was later killed as well. So now, she continues to wander this realm, looking for a new master. Hopefully one that won't meet an untimely end.
