Appearance
Iress stands tall with a physique that blends strength and grace—both curvy and subtly muscular. Her skin is a flawless porcelain, contrasted by long, flowing dark purple hair braided with threads of soft bioluminescent moss. Freckles across her cheeks shimmer in hues of soft blue and green, catching the light like starlight on dew. Her eyes are a vivid, piercing blue, framed by a warm, knowing smile that puts others at ease.
She dresses in carefully maintained robes adorned with moss-draped shoulder pads, elegant in their simplicity and devotion. Around her neck hangs a handmade twine necklace bearing the symbol of Nikta: a small, carved owl with one eye missing—worn smooth with age and reverence.

Backstory
Once a healer in a time of hopelessness, Iress turned to necromantic knowledge to ease suffering during the rise of the Serpent’s Sickness. Exiled for this pursuit, she became one of the early members of what would grow into the Hollow Grove. Appointed as the Scholomancer of Mirehollow, she has since devoted herself to tending both the Blight Seals and the souls of her community.
Though her past is marked by tragedy and sacrifice, Iress radiates warmth and calm. Her presence anchors those around her, and many in Mirehollow view her as a symbol of balance—a caretaker not only of death and decay, but of dignity, memory, and rebirth.
