Hi! Why don't you tell us a bit about yourself?

I'm Iris Rowan, I'm sixteen years old. I like poetry, Starbucks, and making fun of tourists. I don't like school or Shakespeare, because we have read all 50,000 of his plays at school, as we are home of the Shakespeare Festival, Ashland, Oregon.

Tell me a little about your family…mine's totally weird. I hope yours is better!

My parents fled to Alaska after a run-in with the law, and I live with my older brother Jake and his annoying girlfriend, Helen. Jake writes for the Ashland Daily Tidings, covering the Shakespeare Festival usually since he can't get a job as an actual actor in it. Helen is as beautiful and as war-causing as her namesake, the face that launched 1,000 ships. So yeah, pretty weird.

So tell me, what are you afraid of most of all?

I'm afraid that my best friend, Avie, is going to be hurt when I'm not there to protect her. I'm afraid I'll be stuck in this tourist trap for the rest of my natural life.

What is your best childhood/earliest memory?

Jake was a truck driver after college, when he was "between jobs", as he told anyone who inquired after his career, not wanting to admit to a non-shiny one. He'd talk me with him on night shifts, and even though I wasn't buckled in, I always felt safe and loved. Especially in the morning, when we stopped at an all-hour diner and he'd read aloud to me, even though he was sleepy, just chugging down coffee and never once complaining, never once asking for a break.

Have you ever loved someone enough that you'd give your life for them?

My brother and Ava. In a heartbeat.

Truthfully…any Mary Sue traits?

I make my bed every morning, I always study for tests(even if I never do the homework), I've only got to first base, and that was three years ago, in a game of spin-the-bottle. I left when they started playing Seven Minutes In Heaven.
