As a child she was sickly and spent far too long alone and reading. Some of the things she read lead her into some very strange places. Among other things she created "friends" who exist only in her head. As she's got older and her powers have developed, she's no longer sure a lot of the time if they really are
only in her head. Iri's closest friends are therefore the very things most likely to get her expelled from the Order she loves. So far she's managed to walk the fine line due to her exceptional research and alchemical skills. Unfortunately some of her research has thrown up a very nasty background secret in her own family.
Irrirangi's Voices
Aphra - confident, outspoken and everything Iri is not. Aphra offers advice on men and the world. She and Iri gossip all the time.
Benefor - a war veteran. Benefor knows all there is to know about strategy in the field. He's not outstandingly good at using those skills in an urban world, but he amuses Iri by explaining dinner table battle tactics, and often acts as an early warning system. He has no sense of humour.
Cassio - a sneaky, sexy, swashbuckling type, who Iri has secretly loved for years. Cassio will never settle for one girl and she knows this, but part of her knows he'll always be there for her. He loves poetry and quite often quotes it.
Dahl - is not human. Quite possibly not sane either, but it's Dahl who showed Iri her sorcerous powers and has promised to show her more.
Iri's secret mentor has guided her in the ways of the Manifest Spellshaper.
