Ira thrives on cruelty, control, and power. It’s what keeps her so high up in position. Fear is respect, and fear rules the people. She’s charismatic, with her velvety and pleasant voice; her passion and conviction. Her obsessive intensity, however, can be oftentimes more off-putting than not.

Intense and complex by nature, Ira has extremely strong emotional reactions to most situations; though her feelings are often very difficult for her to verbalize. Therefore at times she has a tendency to be very quiet, to brood and think a lot. Although she can be gallant and courteous, she has an uncontrollable temper, and an unchecked sadistic streak. Ira is known to be cruel, savage and wild, taking delight in torturing others. If she is challenged, she takes it as a personal affront and tends to lash out and fight back in a vengeful manner. Playful and taunting, Ira likes to tease and antagonize others for her own amusement.The tomcat can be forthright, but is never outright honest. Ira has a tendency to palter with the truth and tell white lies at her own discretion, preferring to lead and take control of conversations. She’ll often try to gauge your anger levels by dancing around subjects in riddles and taunts. Ira is particularly good at thinking on her feet, though is less savvy when it comes to long-term consequences.A scholar and detective, she loves getting to the root of problems and enjoys finding what makes other people tick. Ira’s mind is very curious and inquisitive, always seeking information on a wide variety of topics. The broader the subject matter, the more it will appeal to her. She is known to be quite tenacious in the pursuit of knowledge. An achiever at heart, she prefers doing practical, worthwhile things that produce tangible results. Ira’s ideas and opinions can be inventive and original, but often times they are merely eccentric and offbeat. She tends to resent traditional authority figures because she believes that her own ideas are better thought out and more valuable than theirs.

She means no harm. She only wants to show me the way. Can you see her too? Please tell me you do. I Don’t want to be alone...

Menacing and gaunt, Ira fills the room with her presence. With a smooth and slithering voice, and a frankly rather tall and intimidating figure, the young heir demands attention and fear with hardly a word. Some might say she has more of the Blackmont look with her dark hair and yellow eyes, though hers has an intense iciness to their pale hue, lending to her Salvatica blood. Her most prominent trait, is the drooping lichen-like fur of her tail, much like the mossy trees of the region from which she hails.

Ira is currently in possession of House Salvatica's Ancestral Weapon, Frenzy, a Damascus steel Falcata-style sword with a lizard-lion design on the hooked hilt.

You have to go back.

I pray to GOD. I PRAY TO GOD. I PRAY TO GOD. I PRAY TO GOD.

Ira is the last child, the youngest of the Salvatica brood; hatched from a lupine womb. Aristaeus married Lucan Blackmont out of love, the last of his wives, though their sizable age difference was a sordid topic. Ira grew under her mother's attentive care, clinging to the molly's legs like a fatted tick, not once having the urge to leave her place on his hip. While most of the wetnurses firmly believed the young tomkit would grow out of this childish dependency; she never truly did, oft finding solace in her dam, who unfortunately enabled such behavior. The lastborn heir may have been coddled, but at the least was instilled with Lucan's northern sensibilities. Where there's a deep code of family, however honor is not found in the mire. Ira cares for no one but her family, and cares not for honor.The young highborn reed cat grew up with a reputation for brutality among both the servants of Deadwood and other Wyrm-mire nobles. She was an unusual child who was obsessed with religion and death. Today, Ira is well known for her tempestuous nature, prone to fits of icy wrath and impulsivity, though she notably softens around her mother and siblings.The only tom born from Lord Salvatica, Ira traditionally bears the title as heir of her noble house. Ira wears the role like ill-fitted armor, waiting for bated breath till their aged father croaks, so she can finally take her place as Lord of Deadwood. Until then, she bides her time by indulging in her fleeting whims and fancies.

Have you said your prayers, my child?

Aristaeus Salvatica / Father
She loves her father. He built her a great self esteem, provided her a great education; so yes, she loves him. She also hates him.

Mother / Lucan Blackmont
Ira is attached to her mother, like a starving bloodfly. He is her guiding star.

Valora Salvatica / Half-sister
Ira wishes and wants only the best for her eldest sibling, for they are such a delicate little songbird. Valora is such a sweet, soft thing, who wants only for peace and kindness in this harsh world; Ira will see to it that this desire be fulfilled.

Half-sister / Calpurnia Salvatica
Arrogant and smirking, there's a proud, conniving spirit to Lady Calpurnia. She has political savvy where the others do not, whispering into her young sister's ear with such slithering ease. Ira listens raptly, of course.

Miluina Salvatica / Half-sister
While seemingly straight-laced and disciplined at first glance, Miluina the Mild truthfully hides her dipsomaniac habits from outsiders. She prefers to keep to herself with an apathetic air about her.

Half-brother / Livius Salvatica
The unmarriageable one in father's eyes, though much like Ira, Livius uses his time in solitude worthwhile, dabbling in scholarly pursuits. He's never been very fond of his youngest sibling. Rather quite fearful, in fact.

Luxuria Salvatica / Half-brother
The youngest molly and the only one who is the closest to Ira in age. Luxuria is the wild-child of the family; having no intentions of marrying soon, if at all. Gifted with youth and beauty in spades, Luxuria has a remarkable penchant for wanton mischief.

Ex-Fiancee / Surrey Rotte
Once betrothed then spurned in one fell swoop, Ira seeks retribution. There is a debt to be paid. The little mouse is the skeleton key to the Paradise she seeks.

I found her here in the cold mist, and never left, never wanted to leave.
