Iris Merrow

Iris Merrow was a human female assassin who worked primarily during the time of the Clone Wars. Unknowingly Force-adept herself but untrained in the Jedi arts, she was eventually employed by the Galactic Republic.
==Appearance and Personality==
Iris stood at 5 feet tall, deceptively petite and nonthreatening. She had long blonde hair that remained braided and wore standard leather combat gear, a sniper rifle her weapon of choice. She asw also proficient with vibroweapons and used a theatrical fighting style possibly adapted from Jedi martial techniques, elaborately spinning and throwing her blades when in combat.
Iris was sarcastic, blunt, and clever, often letting her actions speak louder than her words.
==Training and Adolescence==
Iris was never really sure about the circumstances surrounding her birth, only that she was raised to be deadly. At the age of eighteen, Iris started out on her own, misattributing her quick reflexes and incredible intuition to the skills she'd gained, the reality being that her abilities actually stemmed from the Force. While Iris' acquaintances were hard to come by and friends even fewer, many people she knew were taken into the temple by Jedi Seekers, and she resolved herself to never become a Jedi seeing the life they chose.
Fairly eccentric herself, Iris grew close to few people. However, she did become especially close to another female being whose name is unknown. However, something drove them abruptly apart, and Iris spent the next several years bribing her way to get off planets.
==Brush with the Republic==
At 18 years old, Iris became acquainted with a number of individuals, including the Jedi Padawan Ktadra, Lakeni, Bait, Zic Bic, and Nepenthia, the former of whom offered her the opportunity to be employed by the Republic. She accepted, and was eventually deployed to the planet Nemoidia.
While Iris tended to experience a lot of self-doubt in terms of morality, Lakeni assured her that that was not the case. The Chiss showed her the game of Tactica while they began to bond over their similar experiences.
