Iris was born on Mikkia in 30 BBY. Her parents were renowned scholars of History and Geography : as such, the young girl grew up surrounded by knowledge, always eager to learn and discover new things.

Nevertheless, she still followed her people's traditions : she was taught how to be an honorable warrior, and how to behave in an organized matter. Her skill with the pistol was quite remarkable for her age, and she was for a long time torn between becoming a solider and an historian.

Sadly, she didn't get to choose that. Iris' parents died when the commercial transport they boarded was taken out by the newly formed Empire because of the alleged presence of a Rebel operative on board. Since then, Iris had to fend for herself.

She managed to find the trace of one of her parents' fans in the Elrood Sector, a bodyguard working for the Grul Kajidic called Jayjay. This man took her in and protected her like a daughter, alongside another orphan, Diana.

Iris' skills with a blaster and her profound knowledge of history and artifacts made her a vakuable asset for several of the Underworld's factions. One day, while working a job for the Hutts, the two teenagers made a mistake and ended up taking the life of a Car'Das smuggler.
The relationship between the two groups was tense at the time, and a deal was struck to make everyone content : Iris would become part of the Car'Das Ring, working to pay off her debt, and Diana would remain with the Hutts, forced to remain loyal to Grul seemingly for the rest of her life.

Since then, Iris has been part of the Car'Das ring, and life isn't so bad. Her expertise allows her to determine the origin and value of rare artifacts, a precious ability when one is a smuggler. She still sees her adopted family from time to time, and they exchange messages on a daily basis.

Iris still wishes to be freed of her debt, and for her and her sister to be able to live the way she wants to. But who knows when that will happen?

Could be worse:

Iris would like to escape her condition and stop working for the Car'Das ring. However, her family and friends as well as herself would surely be endangered by her leaving, and as such she accepted her fate.

Nonetheless, to make life more bearable, Iris tries to find solace in her job to swallow the pill. Helping a kid, learning something new, finding some credits or a nice item : anything she can get a hold on, to make the day a little brighter and forget her debt.

CAR'DAS SMUGGLING RING
Debt (34) :

Iris made a mistake when she was a young girl learning the criminal underworld, and that mistakr led to a man of the Car'Das Ring.

Since then, she works to repay that mistake, by doing what "Jugo would have done, during all his life, for the Ring", as her supervisor would say. She doesn't know when that will be, but one thing's for sure: she's not there yet.

Iris is a 30 y.o. Mikkian. She's quite level-headed, and always tries to use reason before emotions.

Her tendrils are unusually active, moreso than other Mikkians : perhaps it's the result of growing up in a place where death is always at the corner. Her skin and tendrils sports orange, red and white stripes.

She's not very built, generally getting by with her brains and her reflexes. However, she's recently decided to change that and start working out.
