Personality Iria is a fairly bubbly girl, and is very high energy. She can be a bit aloof, but she always has something going through her mind. She finds odd things fascinating and once she's got ahold of a subject, she'll research it to death. She can be quite sweet, but is fiercely protective of people she cares about. She has a proper respect for most people, depending on how they treat others mostly. Iria Isn't a judgmental person, and tried to be unbiased, which she is mostly successful at. Her perspective is that she doesn't fully understand anyone, and so she will try to play politely with anyone who is willing to give her a chance. She is very difficult to anger, seeing as she doesn't focus on most emotions for very long, but she retaliates with kicking anything. Not usually the actual person, but more commonly walls, tables, etc. She values life of living things above all else and avoids killing as best she can, but will end a life if it's necessary for survival. She tends to be a mediator, trying to end conflicts with logic and calming down any parties to the best of her ability. She isn't very personal with most people though, because she just doesn't find her own story that interesting, or really anyone's business. Iria is usually considered an optimist, but internally tends to be more realistic about situations, and is reassuring others.
Biography Iria was born in Ireland, but her family moved when she was about four to Los Angeles for her mother's job. Her father had been originally from the U.K. and met her mother on a trip during his college years. In America, Iria had to adapt to the sudden change in environment, but handled it quite well. She made friends with the neighborhood kids and her only complaint was that there wasn't any place to get authentic food from her birthplace. And so, her father opened an Irish pub that was completely authentic from architecture to the food, which was shipped in from Ireland. Iria spent her teenage years working as a waitress and running hurdles at her high school. She was a straight A student and made it into Juilliard to study to become a baker. She had met a man, Harold, who was studying to become a writer. She was interested in him, but when she left for Los Angeles he was forgotten in the struggle to stay alive. Both her parents were kill in the initial outbreak while Iria was visiting some friends. When she found her parent's corpses, she was caught unawares but a Smart zombie, who took her to the Hive to be part of the stockpile. She managed to escape by sheer luck and courage when the military tried to infiltrate.
Once she was out of the Hive, Iria found her way to an already looted gun store and found only the rifle that was hidden under a loose floorboard she accidentally kicked loose in her frustration. She also claimed a silencer, from years of playing zombie video games in her youth. Later, she found a fairly long knife left in the gutter by a corpse, which she claimed. She hadn't had any experience with guns prior to the outbreak, but found another survivor who taught her before he was caught in a trap set by a Smart One. He told her to leave, and so she gained a pistol and a lot more caution. She also read a warning that was written on a wall in Sharpie to wear plenty of perfume or, even better, to douse herself in alcohol. So she tends to smell heavily of whichever she can get her hands on as to avoid random attacks.
Extra Iria recently found a dog that she keeps with her as a companion. She calls the Rottweiler Buffy, and has no problem splitting her meager meals with her. She also knows food and herbs fairly well from her father.
