Here’s a little bit more about my Arcana MC, Iris!
Template is thanks to @drdevorakwrites (bless you lots)<3
Hair: Dark Brown (but she loves changing it up with color glamour)
Romanced: Dr. Julian Devorak
Orphaned at an early age, she apprenticed under a veterinarian because she was passionate about helping animals. Her mentor practically adopted her and treated her like his own daughter as he had no children of his own.
Her collection of scars are almost always due to her getting up close and personal with animals when she shouldn’t have. She’s impulsive and pure-hearted that way.
They traveled and researched animals from all over the world. She picked up all kinds of tricks of trade as well as the zest for adventure.
At one point they came across a wounded mother tiger and her last surviving cub. The mother could not be saved and they adopted the cub. Iris named her Raya.
Soon after adopting Raya and before ending up in Vesuvia, Iris’ mentor passed away, a mixture of old age and illness.
Though still a teenager, she was fiercely independent and was able to take care of Raya and herself until they found Asra’s shop. And the rest is history.
One of the reasons she was persistent in helping the research of the Red Plague is because she had studied the Black Plague during her travels and hoped her notes could benefit the cause.
In her notes, the Black Plague was linked with infected rat fleas, which later helped them theorize the link between the Red Plague and the beetles.
She always has a notebook and quill (or several) on her at all times in case she comes across a new species and document her findings right away. You best believe she happily wrote her account of being bit by those Vampire Eels in vivid detail.
