## History

### **Childhood**

It was said that when Irene was born, a bright light radiated from her crib signaling the peace in her family.

Irene's parents are two very high social individuals who are described as workaholics, though with how large their family is, they do want their children to grow up with everything they need. For the longest time, her parents have been wanting a girl, five sons later, and lo and behold their savior; Irene, was born.

Born from two very tired parents and the youngest sister to five older brothers, she was constantly dotted on and spoiled by both groups. Her brothers often playing the protective nature on her despite how much she dislikes it, her individuality is often brought down because of how young she is in the family, and the desired child her parents needed. Her childhood often forced her to be dependent and protected.

By middle school, she was meek and shy due to her upbringing, but as she grew frustrated, her motivations to be independent and her want to be more on the extroverted side grew as well. At one point in her time in middle school, she ran away.

She didn't exactly get far as she was later found by Gen and Fergus on the way to the former's home, and was shortly let into the Oroitz household. It wasn't the running away part that made her feel freedom for the first time, but it was the comfort and friendliness she had while being with them. Soon her family was called, and she was promptly taken home to a loud and concerned family, but not without having a new profound principle to her life that she started to live by.

 From there, Irene grew to be immensely sociable, quirky, and enthusiastic toward her ongoing life much to her family's concerns. Soon enough, she grew to become independent, her parents treating her like an equal and giving her space, and while her older siblings were still protective of her, they too gave her the space she needed to grow.
