{{Appearance}}

Build: small, lean, and short.
Appearance: Iris is a galapagos fur seal that has light blue eyes and light brown pelt. Her fur shimmers in the water when she glids on the waters edge. Her fur is short and sticks to her body most of time, making it look like she has rough shiny skin. She has long whiskers on her face giving her the cute look. Many find her cuter then a lot of the other seals. Many seals envy her looks and wish to look like her. She has a medium sized nose, not exceeding the too big factor. Iris is a bit small for a Galapagos fur seal so she is about 0.9 meters in length and weighs around 24 kilograms(that's 54lb). She is pretty skinny, making her aerodinamic in the water. She has medium size flippers making it easy to glide in the water and small tail making it easy to turn and go fast. She is not as fast in the water as bigger builds, but because she is not fat stays fit she can stay up with the strong muscular seals. She would get a second look when she swims by. Her eyes stand out because it is uncommon for seals to have blue eyes. Her pelt also always looks very shiny, which draws others attention!
Scars:Iris has a weird scar that goes around her left flipper. It goes all the way around her flipper like a bracelet

{{Personality}}

Positive traits:
Understanding- Iris is very understanding and accepting. She does not judge and she will not just think something and stick to it. If you did something or said something to her and you tell her you feel bad and they didn't mean it that way, she will be all ears and care for how you meant it. She will not just ignore you and stick to her own ideas.

nurturing- Iris is a nurturing female that makes you feel good and cared about when you are around. She will not ignore you or leave you out. If you are feeling lonely she is there by your side and lift your spirit back up. She always has a smile on her face and is always there to have a laugh with you. She is like a mother that is put into the body of a friend. Don't worry she won't nag you like a mother or tell you to clean behind the fin but she is always there to be a pal.

tough- this female is not all looks, she is tough in the heart, mind, and body. Although she is looks small and weak, she has a big heart and a big head. She will not show weakness when others want her to have pain and she also can stand up to others. She is not afraid to stick up in what she believes in and for others. If you are afraid and need help sticking up for yourself, she is the gal to turn too.

true-heart- her last positive quality is that she has a big true heart. She is always thinking about others. She also feels that she has to tell the truth to help her friends and the animals around her.

Forgive Iris will forgive. Even if she was furious with you, she will for give what you did and said. She will not keep grudges and she will not stay mad. She will put the madness away and forgive you. She will always be thinking about you and forgive. If you go to some extremes she may not(like murder everyone she has ever cared about, then she will probably hate you forever!), but most of the time she will.

Both Negative and Positive:
Hiding emotion- this is under both negative and positive because it is a negative and positive trait. There is a saying that says: "It takes one smile to cover back a million tears". This is what Iris can do. She can be feeling like bawling her eyes out, but she can hide her emotion. This is good so that she does not drain the energy of others, but it is bad since she is actually feeling bad and is holding it in. She will smile and act as if everything is okay, but she is sad. You can never really tell when she is happy or if she is sad. This is a good and bad trait that is a benefit and a detriment.

Negative traits:
over reactor-Iris may be nice, but when you get her going, you really get her going. When she is mad she goes over the top and freaks. She will start yelling and changing her tone to a irritated tone. She looses her understandability and her nurture feeling. She will keep her toughness and use it against you! Better not push her buttons or she will blow over the top. It will not be a pretty site to see, hear, or experience at all.

Arguer Iris gets worked up and will argue to a lot of things. She will not like what you are saying about her and will start to argue with the fact. It is more so of a defense mechanism and will trigger automatically. She does not like this about her, but she always does this. She will pull others into it, just because she did not like what they said. I know what your thinking "how can someone be argumentative and understanding?" Well this is how: She has different moments. If she is already worked up from you confronting her she is not going to calm down. Also it depends on her mood, like most girls and guys, she has different moods. No one knows what they are thinking or how they are feeling, it is just the way of life.

Can't drop a subject-yeah you may not be done with the subject, but she is not. She doesn't like that she does this but it is hard for her to drop a subject. The conversation will be over, but she won't be done with it. She finds it hard to drop it since she got all worked up about it. It sounds very easy to stop, but it isn't. When you are all worked up and are mad it is hard to just drop the subject. She will say her point over and over until she gets it out of her system. It is just who she is.

Emotion holder- Yeah you hurt or or got her mad, and yeah you're over it, well I got some news punk, she isn't! Iris has a thing of keeping the pain and all emotions inside of her. She feels the pain and other emotions every day. Whenever she gets hurt, mad, or crushed she will have that pain in her for a very long time. Every time she thinks of what went down she will feel that stabbing pain once again. It is like a wound in your heart that will never stop bleeding, She will be affected by it all the time, as it keeps bleeding and bleeding at her. She will not forget what you did, don't worry she will not keep it as a grudge, she will just keep the pain from what you did inside. That is one thing she can do well, forgive!
Likes/Hobbies:
Swimming-Iris loves to glide and gleam in the water. She will go for swims all the time and spends mostly all of her time in the water. Although she has to go to land to sleep and rest, water and swimming is basically her life. She loves the feeling of the water through her fur and the rush of cold on her flippers. Any day is a day for swimming according to her!

chilling- Chilling with her friends and just doing stuff with them is one of her favourite hobbies. She will talk and play with them. Playing catch me if you can is a fun game to play with seals. They can all pretty much go the same pace and do everything the same. She will be with her friends most of the time and doing something with them because she is the type of seal who doesn't like to sit down and do nothing with her time.

learning more of herbs-Iris loves herbs and healing/mending others. She knows mostly everything you need to know about herbs and healing, but there is always room for improvement. She always tries to teach herself new techniques and forms of healing. She will look for new herbs when she is swimming and ways they can be used to help. Over all she just loves herbs, she finds them fascinating, loves to heal, and loves to learn more about that topic in general!

hunting- it is a necessity of life, and why not make it enjoyable. She makes sure catching her prey fun. Killing them is not the fun part, it is chasing after them and trying to catch up with them. She does not like the fact that she has to kill to survive, but it is the way of life, survival of the fittest!
Dislikes:
predictors- Basically something that can kill, eat, or harm her she doesn't like. If she has to swim for her life she i obviously going to hate it and never want to do it ever again. The thought of a sharp-tooth creature trying to eat her and digest her gives her the biggest creeps of life!

Obnoxiousness- When you act like a little kid and acting all annoying around her she will not like it. It bugs her when obnoxious creatures come and bug her and try to flirt with her. She is not interested, so get out of her face before she blows her top on you! She will not be pleased if you are obnoxious, you will not win her heart over. So rather leave her alone if you act like that or just try not to be obnoxious to her, period!
Fears:
Lose of friends- she does not want to loose them trhough death or through them not wanting to be apart of her life anymore. She may loose her top, but she makes sure she apologizes to each and everyone of them so they do not stay mad at her.

death- that is a given, everyone is afraid of death. No one knows what is beyond death. She would be terrified to leave this world and enter another, or just be gone forever!

Overall Personality: okay so I just wrote 1490 words for the whole upper part not knowing there was an overall description, is it okay if i just skip this part??

{{History}}

Family:
Sue-mother-whereabouts unknown
dugal-father-dead
Flora-sister(twin)-dead
History: Life started when two seals mated. Their names were Sue and Dugal. A couple weeks later they gave birth to Twins: Flora and Iris. Flora was the stronger smarter one out of the two and Iris was the smaller more sensitive one. They looked identical, barely able to tell them apart. Sue and Dugal preferred Flora because of how intelligent and strong she was. She was catching fish before she should of been ready, always outshining Iris. Iris would always try to catch fish to live up to her sister but her sister would always have something bigger and better she did. Iris eventually gave up hope in beating her sister at something. That is when her Flora came back from hunting very ill and hurt. She was bleeding and was in agony. Iris stepped up and was trying to heal her. Flora was attacked by a shark, but she got away. The family relocated to land so predictors around them would not be drawn to them. Iris just some how knew how to treat her sister. She grabbed herbs and helped her become healthier. Iris's parents finally knew that their daughter was good for something! Her parents now liked her just as much as her sister. The girls just turned 1 when this all went down. Shortly after they were 1 and a half years old the most terrible thing happened to the family. They were out for a hunt when some hunters came and were looking for some fresh seal! Flora and Dugal got separated from Iris and Sue. Shortly after the long swim of panicking Iris got separated from sue and was all by herself. She started to swim back to see if she could find flora or Dugal. Instead of seeing their happy faces she say their motionless bodies floating in the water, gushing with blood. She was so terrified that she scurried away in fear. That is when she swam right into a net. Her flipper was caught in the nest and would not get free. She struggled and moved but it would not budge. The net just got tighter and tighter on her flipper. She screamed and cried but northing happened. Blood was starting to spurt out and mix with the ocean water. She felt the pain spread through her body like a virus crashing a computer. The pain would not stop! Suddenly, the pain was released. The pressure was not on her flipper anymore. She opened her eyes to see humans taking her up. They flopped her on their boat and took her away. The pain was overwhelming and she passed out. Iris awoke in an a place she had never seen before. There were other seals around her that looked injured. She did not know why she was here but it was not comforting. Her flipper hurt a lot and it was not able to be moved. She was in an aquarium where animals where rescued and were raised until they were back to full health, or able to live in the wile again. She was not wanting to be here at first, but after awhile of being there she got use to it. The humans were there to feed you, take care of you, and play with you. She grew attached to the humans there. The head rubbing, the tag playing, it was paradise. She did not know how much she loved this place until she left. One day or another your broken damaged parts will heal. The day came to say goodbye to the other friendly seals and the humans and say hello to the wilderness again. Her fin took 1 and a half years to heal back to normal health. She is able to swim like usual again and hunt and swim away from predictors. She was released and put back in the wild where she would have to start her life over again, but that isn't to bad, is it? Iris became a mender for the dissenters because of her skill of healing and knowledge of herbs. She joined that side because her friends go into a fight.(will be played out in a thread coming soon) She joined her friend that was on the dissenters already. Someone was injured and needed help that was on the dissenters side and they were dying. She rushed to the scene to help. She cleared the area of creatures and started to mend the poor animal. She ended up saving its life, and that is when she got assigned as a mender. They just lost one of their menders at the time and needed a new one soon. She was assigned the role, and she lives up to that role, then and now! She will always be there for the injured, and always their for those in need!
