“I don’t really think I could tell you. I hardly ever by lunch here.“ Celine smiled as she listened to the girl complain about the food. "But for all, we know you could be right or maybe your food from home is just that good.”

“Yeah, that’s the issue. I have no proof, because I’ve only ever eaten at this cafeteria like twice before.” Iris pointed out. She only bought food today because she lost track of time in the morning. “That’s true, my food from home is pretty good.”

“Maybe?” She said not really paying attention, she was on her phone trying to apply for a job to get some her car paid off. She looks over at Iris seeing her bite more into the sandwiches. “Are you broke?”

Iris glanced over at the other when she asked if she was broke, and she blinked a bit. “Not completely, but it’s too expensive to eat here all the time for sure.”

“You could be cheap,” She said sitting down near the girl. She doesn’t eat school lunch since she always has someone picks it up for her and bring it to her. She may sound a spoiled brat but really she lazy to get in line. “School like to rip people off. I thought you were better than that.”

“I’m just saying that I could go to Subway and pay the same thing for a much better sandwich.” Iris pointed out, looking up at the other girl. “Like I said, usually I bring my own food... but I ran out of time this morning. If I wasn’t busy after school, I would be find to just wait. But if I were to do that, I wouldn’t be eating until dinner.”

“well.. you’re most definitely not wrong.” theo shoved a piece of chocolate into his mouth when eyeing everyone around and then cleared his throat. “maybe the school is going broke. that would be something..”

Iris nodded a bit at his words, going in for another bite before pausing. “Maybe, but why would they charge a bunch for sandwiches when they could just have a fundraiser?”

The girl picked at her tray of food as she listened to the girl next to her, “ I don’t know about here but every other school I have been to have always had fucking awful cafeteria food.”

Iris shrugged a little bit. “I guess. Like I said, I usually bring my own food but this morning I just completely ran out of time. I figured I’d be safe with one of the sandwiches...”

“I contacted the other day by USC the other day for myself and a friend of mine from the team to come check out a USC practice. Honestly,I’m stoked because it’s still so close to home but I don’t know if I should keep my opinions open or just go close to home.”

Iris shrugged a bit at the other’s words. “As long as you’re not limiting yourself or your other options just because it’s close. It may be harder to go further away, but if that’s what’s best for your future, then I think that’s what you should do.”

“The cafeteria is making these sandwiches smaller, I swear.” Iris complained as she went to take another bite. “I usually bring a lunch, but every time I have to buy something here, it feels like the prices have gone up and the food has gotten worse... am I crazy?”

[ LANA CONDOR, CISFEMALE, SHE/HER ] OH THEM? THAT’S IRIS NGUYEN THE SIXTEEN YEAR OLD JUNIOR WHO GOT INTO THE SCHOOL BECAUSE OF THEIR MUSIC. I SAW GRAFFITI ON THE BATHROOM STALL THAT SAID THEY WERE SECRETIVE AND QUIET, BUT I THINK THAT THEY’RE FRIENDLY AND INTELLIGENT. I WONDER IF THEY WILL GET ON WITH THE BEVERLY HILLS LOT?

Hi there!! I’m Tasha and this is my lil bab Iris. I already have a full bio for her (linked right here!) so you can check that out if you want. This is just kind of a more casual summary of that bio, and also some things that couldn’t make it into it. If you wanna plot with her feel free to like the post and I can message you here, or just hmu on discord! 

tw: death, gang violence, witness protection

Iris Nguyen was actually born as Violet Phan. 

Her sibling got involved with a gang, and when they didn’t follow through on something, the gang went after Iris. After trying to grab her, her attacker tripped and hit his head on the corner of a dumpster, killing him. The Phan family was put in witness protection, and became the Nguyens.

Iris’ cover story is that she was homeschooled until her father got a job in Beverly Hills, and subsequently the Nguyen children were put in the nearest school. Iris was in freshman year, so despite joining partway through the year, it wasn’t as hard of an adjustment as it was for the others.

The only social media Iris uses is Snapchat, and that’s because the pictures aren’t posted publicly. She also doesn’t let her friends post pictures of her online, and her excuse is that her parents are weird about it.

It’s pretty easy to push her around tbh. She’s really sweet and friendly to basically anyone, unless you’ve done something to seriously piss her off or break her trust. But otherwise, she’s pretty chill and is down for most things, which is part of why she’s such a pushover.

ALL the soft things, all the time. Sweaters, blankets, scarves, socks... always

^But also has a pretty quirky fashion sense

She’s really into baking and crafting, and she’s not fantastic but she’s not bad either.

Where her talents really lie is in music. She keeps a pretty low profile with it, because she doesn’t want much attention being called to her in general, but she plays violin, piano, guitar, ukulele, and a bit of saxophone. 

She writes a lot of songs and wishes she could put herself out there more, but is afraid any video will get back to Oakland. 

Her “voice claim” is Vienna Teng, some specific songs being Lullabye for a Stormy Night, Landsailor, Goodnight New York, and Flyweight Love if you wanna check them out (no pressure tho)

Iris obviously can’t tell anyone what her past is and for that reason, she has trouble getting really close to people. She has friends, but it’s unlikely that they know much about her other than her personality and what she does at school. 

I think that’s it?? I might add more to that, who knows. I have a few wanted connections below too!

Flashbacks: Someone that Iris knew before going into Witness Protection. I have a childhood friend or crush in my head, but like if it was someone she didn’t get along with, that would be fine too. It’s been 2-3 years since they saw her so she probably looks different, but it depends on whether they would recognize her or not with a different name and hairstyle.

Duet partner: Iris is in the school orchestra and choir etc, but she isn’t very outspoken about writing music, and usually if she’s playing her own stuff it’ll be in a small room with a piano or guitar. HOWEVER, she does have some duets that she’s written, and I plan on having her post a few songs online anonymously in a bit, so I’d love a connection where they could be on some of those recordings. 

Exes are always fun!! Iris is a Junior and got to Beverly Hills partway through freshman year, so there’s plenty of opportunity for past relationships. Whether it ended well or poorly, I’m definitely down to discuss.

OLDER SIBLING!! This would be the sibling that got involved with witness protection. I’ll probably be putting in a wc, but if you want a new character and would be down, hmu??

Friends?? Lab partners? Baking buddies, friends who shop together??? Literally anything pls just throw your bbs at her
