 Biographical information

Physical description



Early Life
As a baby, she was left at the Heatherdrift Foundling Hospital, and was then fostered, by Jeremiah and Marion Murphy. It was there she met her foster siblings, Hugo, Opal, and Olive, also from the hospital. She grew particularly attached to Richard, the Murphys biological son, and he also grew attached to her, spoiling her, and playing with her in an abandoned mansion, nearby.

A few years later, Irene began to notice something odd about her parents. They seemed sad, and they were spending more time with Hugo. Three days after, Hugo left, and Irene tried to ask Richard where he had gone, but couldn't get a straight answer from him. Instead, he tried to distract her.

The week after, Olive started receiving the same treatment, and Opal noticed something suspicious as well.

That night, Opal returned from demanding answers, and was even colder to Irene than usual. The next morning, Olive was gone. For once, Opal didn't push Irene away, when she tried to hug her.

Soon, it was Opal's turn to be fussed over. Irene tried, yet again, to get answers out of Richard, but couldn't.

A few weeks later, early in the morning, Opal says her goodbyes to Irene. Once she was gone, Irene rushed to her mother, demanding answers, and finally got some.

Within a few days, Irene's outside the hospital, and the next chapter of her life is beginning.
