PERSONALITY
Likes: - Dogs - Being outside - Her privacy - Coffee - Gymnastics
Dislikes: - Snobs - Jerks - Judge-mental people - Pulled muscles - The bias against pit bulls
Iris comes from a modest background; parents that never aspired to do much in life, leaving their daughter to become quite the ambitious little dreamer. She’s worked hard to afford everything she has, but especially to spoil her dog Tank. The sweet pit bull mix is her best friend, and the only ‘family’ she’s got.
She’s flexible from years in dance and gymnastics, but she was never one of the popular girls. She was considered ‘trailer trash’ in school, so she kept mostly to herself. During her senior year, after her parent’s death; Iris had to find ways to earn money to keep herself afloat. She worked two jobs and was still struggling, so she started working as a phone sex operator. Eventually moving into working as a ‘camgirl’. Her confidence and flexibility definitely help with that, and she’s doing rather well for herself.
She’s not embarrassed by her work, but she likes her privacy and prefers not to talk about it publicly. But she’s aware that several of her frequent visitors are locals around town. She can come off as quite intense and aggressive at time, especially when she upset. Iris is also notorious for being a touch impulsive and getting herself into situations that could have been avoided.
She doesn’t go out of her way to be overly friendly, and is typically considered ‘intimidating’ because she’s got a real ‘good’ resting bitch face.
HISTORY
Education: First year of Sweetwater Community College, getting her degree in Project Management. Years in Sweetwater: 21 Family Members: Adell Banner - Mother - DECEASED Gavin Whitlock - Father - DECEASED
General History:
Iris was born on the wrong side of the tracks in Sweetwater. Her parents were never married, they were in any form of government assistance that was available, and both were avid drug users. It’s a wonder Iris was never removed from the home. She was the girl in elementary school that was often sent to school dirty in either mismatched clothes or repeated outfits. She was often made fun of, but she didn’t let it get to her. She just focused on her lessons and when she got old enough, got involved in extracurricular activities.
She began dance and gymnastics. And while typically these would have been out of budget, she had a lovely young teacher who had a bleeding heart for the girl and she insisted on covering any financial expenses that went with her dance and gymnastics. Gymnastics became a fast favorite of hers and Iris excelled in the sport.
In high school she decided to try out for the cheer squad and despite her lacking popularity, she made the squad. Sadly, the girls were rough with the ‘hazing’ and she decided not to stick with it after her sophomore year. She could only handle cheer in a wet uniform so many times before she’d get sick. It was exhausting, so she just left the team her junior year. Once again her focus staying on school.
Junior year was also the year her parents caved and let her get a pet. Which meant they didn’t run the pup off while she was at school. But she food and tended to her, and called her Tank. They quickly became the best of friends. Without the cheering to give her something to do, Iris got a job as a server at Rosie’s. Finding she enjoyed working, she picked up a second job as a barista at The Nook. Managing nicely to balance both jobs around her school schedule.
Senior year was when shit got real. Her parents died chasing their last high, thankfully the neighbor heard Tank barking and called emergency services. Iris got the phone call while at school. She was eighteen, so they couldn’t force her into the system. Instead, she sold their house and whatever she could to cover the funeral costs and moved into an apartment. It wasn’t easy, and sometimes she had to choose between bills and food. So she started work as a phone sex operator.
Iris made ‘okay’ money doing that, but started looking into other ways to make money and eventually started work as a ‘camgirl’. Her work keeps the bills paid and actually let her start saving. She was able to graduate with great grades and tested well on her SAT, which helped her get some grants to help cover the cost of her classes in Sweetwater Community College. She aiming to get her associate’s degree in Project Management.
