Iris is an only child raised by parents who were in the perfume industry, utilizing their family’s tree, Vetiver, and recipes to be the top perfumers in the country of Lantanas.

Iris spent their childhood exploring and making friends with their family’s employees. Eventually, Iris was tutored by Elkder Prunella on math, history, culture, and the Leaf Guardian pilgrimage, something every member of the Leaf tribe must do once they get a vision.

After Iris’ parents passed away in an accident, their uncle came to live with them and officially take over the family business because Iris was too young.

Once Iris became of age, they graduated from Elkder Prunella’s tutelage and waited for a dream vision, which never came. Iris’ Uncle eventually made a map for Iris and gave it to them, explaining it a map for their pilgrimage.

Desperate to leave and explore the country, Iris left despite still never having a vision. For 2 years, Iris traversed around Lantanas meeting trees and people but still never found a sapling – the main pilgrimage goal.

When Iris came back to their house at the Vetivar tree, they find out that all of their stuff was thrown away and their Uncle lied to them about the map just to get Iris to leave. Since Iris never got a vision, their uncle, fed up with Iris being “lazy,” drew up a fake map so Iris would leave for a couple years.

In a fit of frustration, Iris leaves their family’s tree and heads to the Narenga Great Tree for advice, unknown to them that a labyrinth was created there by a rich gamemaster named Echelon.

Then our game begins…
