(A/n: I think I cursed myself with that poll about my draft fics because the progress on those ⬇️… but I hope you’ll like this good enough for now)

In the far left corner of the Hermes cabin is where the three Iris children, you, Butch and Blanche, had set up their own little area of a bunkbed and a matress all with colorful sheets.
That was until after the war when the three of you FINALLY got a cabin of your own.
The exterior was very simple and made of stone like an ancient greek temple. With carvings of Iris on the walls.
As soon as the cabin was declared finished, it gained an iridescent glow. Which most people assumed was a sign that Iris had blessed it and was satisfied with their work.
Above the door of the cabin where it says Cabin 14 there is also a giant opal placed on the wall, that glistens in all the rainbows colours.
One time the Hermes cabin stole the Opal as a prank but when the Iris cabin found out you were pissed and you and your siblings cursed cabin 11 to turn hot pink as revenge.
You, Butch and Blanche only changed it back after Chiron forced the Hermes cabin to apologise.

Speaking of the Hermes cabin, The Iris and Hermes kids have a bit of a rivalry since Hermes took over Iris duty as the messanger of the gods against her wishes. So the two cabins engage in a mostly friendly rivalry on a lot of occasions.
You personally have a rivalry with Travis Stoll, the two of you always competing about something, who’s the fastest, who’s the strongest, who’s the better fighter, who looks better in their swimming suit…
Your siblings tease you saying you’re both crushing on each other. You deny it saying: ”Ew, why would I like Travis and his dumb cute face”.
Meanwhile in Cabin 11, Travis: ”Gross, why would I like Y/n and his sorta hot body”.

The powers you as a child of Iris have are that:
You’re really fast runners and can run for a long time, Iris was the messenger of the gods for a reason.
You can cast colour related curses and change the colour of different things and objects. If someone pisses you off, hope they like having the most obnoxious blue hair colour in existence and having their cool black car turned baby pink.
You get free Iris messages.
You can generate small rainbows that can be used for shorter Iris messages.
You can make your whole or just parts of your body glow with the rainbows colours. Helps when you’re somewhere really dark.
More a general trait but when a child of Iris skin gets wet it turn iridescent.

Congrats! You’re probably one of Hera’s favourite cabin as Iris acts as her personal messenger and confidant.
You even received a ancient vase as a cabin warming present from her.

Beacuse of your cabin’s association with colours and rainbows a lot of campers say watching you and your siblings in battle is like watching the Powerpuff Girls.
You are occaisionally referred to by the other campers as ”The Powerpuff Cabin”. Which you and the others don’t mind, who wouldn’t wanna be compared to the Powerpuff Girls.
