Iben once led a perfect life, having two wonderful parents and even a fiancé. However, upon suddenly losing her parents, Iben is overcome with grief and fear of losing loved ones, and she becomes afraid to love, causing her to seal herself away. Iben's fiancé, meanwhile, fears that his girlfriend will never be able to love again, and the Grim Creeper began his reign of terror from the pain that she suffered.

After a few days, Iben becomes corrupted by Lance who creates The Grim Creeper to keep her trapped until the monster is destroyed.

## Trivia

* Iben is the only Inhabitant in the game who is an orphan, as her parents died (as evident by their funeral) and nobody else's parents had their fates revealed.
	+ The novel also implies that Cass causes this mess on accident.
* Iben is one of four unplayable Inhabitants to have unique hair colours, as she has light blue hair. Cass, Lucy, and Bruce also have this trait.
* Balan can be seen playing the priest in the scene that shows Iben getting married to the unnamed boy who loved her.
* In the novel, "Balan Wonderworld ~Maestro of Mystery, Theatre of Wonders~", her "name" while Wonderworld was under Lance's control was "The Lady of the Midnight Sun".
* The cutscene that shows Iben getting frozen when her parents die and the experience traumatises her and the ending cutscene where she breaks free from her icy prison to move on when the Grim Creeper meets his demise could be a pun on a "frozen heart" and "love will thaw," a theme that is also presented literally in the Disney movie *Frozen*.
* In the novel, it is revealed that after the events of Wonderworld, Iben goes on to have two children which are a son and a newborn daughter. Her son then meets Bruce Stone, helping him pick up trash around the city. Attilio calms down her crying daughter by playing peek-a-boo.
