Irys is a very quirky Xaela. The first thing others will notice is her atrocious sense of fashion. She wears whatever covers her body the most, and not even in a modest way, rather more in an off-putting fashion to be as intimidating as possible. Generally, this means she is in the antique patterns the Black Mages from cycles past... despite not being a Black Mage. Otherwise she has similarly covering garments that are just slightly more welcoming. With her exotic skin tone and talents at fixing hair and makeup she could be an extremely beautiful woman if she would just choose to wear something slightly more flattering.. but.. she won't.
If one pays attention to her movements, they will find that Irys favors her left arm and barely uses it for anything. There has been more than one spill when she was required to carry something with it.

Biography

Irys originally hails from the rocky, Eastern coasts of the Steppes. She has a lot of unresolved issues with her mother, who had chosen to enjoy her own life rather than care for the children she begot from having such a life. As such, a lot Irys's childhood as the eldest child was spent feeding and cleaning her younger (and ever growing in count) siblings. This has left Irys fairly starved for affection, having long reaching effects on her personal life.
The Mankhad tribe was supportive in her duties and would help feed and care for all of them, but if anything went wrong it was she who her mother blamed. The family who shared the same yurt, specifically their matron, would take pity upon her plight, snatch up her siblings, and tell her to just go and have fun somewhere. The tribe generally looked down upon her mother for being so irresponsible, their ill words often reaching her horns.
After a ghastly ordeal, Irys fled from the tribe as a whole at thirteen summers to escape the smothering environment of her childhood as well as the general violence of the Steppes. Ul'dah was her chosen destination due to the tribe’s contacts with Eorzean merchant ships and the tales of their mage trainers. Although she originally had no interest is such arts, Irys needed a manner of defending herself despite the newly lamed arm. The Steppes were unkind to those who were useless.
Irys has lived in Ul'dah for nearly a decade now, and as such has picked up the typical Ul'dan dialect and phrases. There is very little Xaela culture left to be found in her, which is just as she would will it to be. She went through quite the culture shock when first arriving which resulted in her isolating herself from others and often being bullied. This is perhaps what lead to her unusual garment choices and general resentment of others. To her, it is much safer to be alone than attempt to make any social connections. If she does speak to someone it is probably to say something mean.
Drunk Irys would.. would disagree with that. Basically any social interaction she does have is due to her being piss drunk. She is quite the friendly drunk, a drastic contrast to her sober personality. And Irys does tend to be drunk more often than not, being terribly miserable with her lot in life. When alcohol isn’t enough, she turns to somnus. The drug was originally used to calm the pain in her left arm when it flared up, but turned into a habit of comfort. Now she is physically dependent on both substances.
