[b]Abilities:[/b]
Shadow Manipulation - (also called Darkness Manipulation) is the ability to merge with, control, and draw power from darkness. The ability allows the user to hide in, minipulate, and travel through shadows, as well as being able to create shadow-based objects from the darkness. (More detailed description can be found [url=http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Darkness_Manipulation]here[/url].)

[b]Skills:[/b]
Photographic Memory - Iris' ability to remember information is surprisingly good. Born with a smart head on her shoulders, Iris has gone through life observing everything while blending in from a safe distance. Memorization is one of Iris' biggest tools. Names, faces, passwords, you name it, she can remember it perfectly from the first time. She's capable of self defense, but is physically lacking in strength, so being able to collect information from a distance is a better alternative to fighting. Of course she can always just use her ability to create something like a car to smash on someone's head... not that she's done it before, but spying is much more appealing and requires less energy.

Languages - She speaks fluent Russian and "American English."

[b]Personality Traits:[/b]
[I]"Do you really feel the need to speak to me? I may just feel the need to break your bones."[/I]

Iris is not the nicest of people. While not outrightly mean or nasty, she is not the most bubbly person and can be bitter and sarcastic at times. She only speaks when spoken to and is likely to scoff and point out your flaws. Despite her attitude, she is very loyal and can be trusted, though many people dont at first. She is a skilled street fighter with good agility and a sharp mind. Though she may not have a problem with you, she wont let anyone close without being sure they can be trusted, and won't hurt her.

[b]Backstory:[/b]
[I]"I certainly wasn't a child born from the shadows... but in the solitude of darkness, I feel more at home than I ever do with my so called 'parents'."[/I]

Born to a family of Russian immigrants, Iris never knew the simple and happy American lifestyle that her parents had hoped for coming from overseas. Her parents opened up a small  bakery in the heart of NYC, and for a time, the family made do with what they had. Fast forward 6 years and Iris was at the small, impressionable age of 5. Times got tough for the Dvoraks, and debt began to pile up to their necks. In order to put Iris into school, her mother began to offer a different, more intimate kind of service to the public. It slowly tore the family apart, but what could they do?

Throughout Iris' times in school, she always knew she was different from the other kids. She was taunted and picked on for her large eyes and for head, and because she looked different from everyone else. She was stick thin and wore old clothes sometimes days in a row because it was all her family could afford. Due to the tough times at home and at school, Iris became a quiet and bitter person. Her father taught her how to defend herself around the age of 13, not from bullies, but from "The cruel world" as he would put it. High school was no different for her. The teasing stopped mostly because she started defending herself. If someone said something rude to her, she'd point all all their flaws and make them feel worthless in a matter of moments. She stopped biting her tongue and started to say how she felt. Profanity became a common weapon against the bullies, and for a time, it worked. People began to keep their distance in school, and that was how she liked it. 

Iris first discovered her powers at the age of 16. Her parents offered her a job in their bakery, and for a time it seemed to help business two have a young and attractive face around. Her mother noticed how much attention Iris was attracting, and hatched up what she thought was a great idea. One of the men her parents were in debt to had taken a liking to her, and decided that all debts would be forgiven if they offered Iris to sleep with him whenever he so pleased. One would think loving parents were opposed to it, but they found it to be a once in a lifetime opportunity they simply could not pass up. Iris was in total opposition, and in a blind rage, ran out screaming that her parents had never truly loved her.

Being out on the streets of New York City is a scary thing at night. After being chased by a group of drunk guys from her school, she hid in an alleyway of a tall building and pressed against the wall, wishing she could just dissapear... and she did. The boys ended up looking directly at her, but not being able to see her, continued on their way. When she literally stepped out of the shadow of the wall, she realized why she had felt so out of place all her life. She really was different. 

Eventually she returned home and her parents acted like nothing had happened. That was how Iris wanted it. She never wanted to talk about their act of betrayal... She didn't want to talk to them at all. Period. And so for three years, she never spoke to her mother or her father, save for the occasional yes or no. As time passed, Iris felt the desire to better learn how to use her powers. So she spent a lot more time outside at night, following random people and taking comfort in the solitude of darkness. Secretly she wished she could speak with someone like her. Somebody who knew what it was like the to live a life feeling out of place. Iris felt alone in the world. Her only friends were the shadows she would turn into the shapes of people, but even she had to watch them die as the sun came over the horizon. Her solitude only fed her bitterness towards everyone who looked at her as if she was the weird one. It hurt because she knew deep down that their suspicions were right. That she was a monster.
