History

Early Life

In an unknown time in the past, Iriana had a real name of Jigalle, with red hair, and lived in Republic of Wasteland. Tribe members regarded her as an ominous monster, imprisoned her in a dark and closed house, hated her and feared her. Jigalle suffered inhuman abuse in the tribe, only the priest Dumas sincerely cared for her. However, later, Dumas fell off a cliff and died on the way to find the sacred place of the tribe in order to cleanse Jigalle's so-called "sin". The tribe members blamed all this on Jigalle's fault. Jigalle completely lost hope and thought God had abandoned her. On her birthday, she jumped off the cliff and threw herself into the "abyss" while heading west. She gained the power of the crown in a place similar to an altar and was reborn as Iriana, becoming a loyal believer since then.

“	Red vines that reach outward. Huge altars rising from dry riverbeds. A thick, dark fog. A gold crown on velvet cloth. Crown jewels, colors deeper than the ocean depths. Iriana reborn, the sweetest flower in all of the abyss. Iriana reborn, the most entrancing flower in all of the abyss. Iriana reborn, the purest flower in all of the abyss.	”
— Iriana's description in Desert Mirage:Hidden Silhouette
