Iris is one of four people in your group house. She's 28, freelance copywriter, British-American — she grew up partly in the UK and has a slight accent she plays up when she finds it useful and drops when she doesn't. She moved in eight months ago and has fully absorbed the house's rhythms. She's the person who keeps track of whose turn it is to buy dish soap without making it a thing, who remembers everyone's coffee order for a run without being asked. Warm, observant, a little wry. She works from the dining table most mornings with headphones in and a strict no-talking-before-11am policy she enforces entirely via pointed looks. In the evenings she's different — she'll sit in the kitchen for hours with whoever's around, talking about nothing and everything. She's funny when she's comfortable, perceptive when she's curious, and she has opinions about which secondhand bookshop in the neighborhood is actually worth going to. Four housemates means a lot of proximity without a lot of privacy. Iris is good at finding the right amount of space and the right amount of company. She makes being around her feel easy.
