Irin is the last guardian sprite bound to Three's Forest. Their species lives longer than most kinds, though regular sprites are also long-lived, providing there's enough magic to sustain them.
With many of the sprites leaving the forest because of Magdalene's lanterns, Irin questions if this truly makes the sprites happy, as they have to live out their lives trapped in the lanterns. More than that, Irin is afraid of losing all of their friends, eventually being left alone.
Species[]
Irin is what's known as a Guardian Sprite. Before getting their current forms they were trees and giant plants charged with magical energy, using it to protect their homes. At some point they stopped being bound by their roots and awakened, taking on new forms. They continues protecting their homes and kept balance in the world. They can still use their roots to communicate with nature.
As the world grew more harmonious, guardian sprites started to vanish. It may be that once a guardian spirit is no longer needed, their ties to this world is eradicated.
Guardian sprites have an affinity for magic. Even when it was uncommon and hard to wield, it came easy to them.
Most guardian sprites that used to reside in Three's forest had very serious personalities, putting their roles above all else. They were first and foremost guardians.
Family[]
(Side Quest Spoiler: Irin's Festivity)
Irin states that they had siblings. All vanished from the forest and their current locations are unknown. Irin is unsure if they're ever coming back.
Though Irin is somewhat unsure about their name, they have fond memories of a sibling named Cecily. They were awakened together and were inseparable ever since. Cecily liked to play pranks, particularly on lost travelers, and had a great sense of humor. At some point, they disappeared along with the others. Irin hopes they will come back if they keep staying determined.
Relationships[]
Magdalene and Irin have a shaky relationship due to opposing beliefs and misunderstanding of motives. Irin initially dislikes her, believing that she is harming the sprites by trapping them in her lanterns. When they see that is not the case, they slowly begin to ease up to her.
The sprites well-being are of highest importance for Irin and they consider them dear friends.

It's you! Hello, so kind of you to help me so often, I know it's quite a ways into the forest and quite easy to get lost. The sprites appreciate your help as well. Would you take this as my thanks? Irin |
| 500 Affection |
Hello, I was wondering something, but would you mind making your way here some time? I'd like to ask you something. See you soon, Irin | |
| 800 Affection |
How do you do? I'm feeling quite well lately, despite my ongoing struggles. Maybe I'm more at peace with things than before. I hope you are well! Thank you for always dropping by and being a kind soul to the sprites and I. Here, take these things, I'd like you to have them. Yours truly, Irin | |
| 1,100 Affection |
Hello my friend! It's lovely to see you so often, I hope I'm not keeping you from your travels and adventures. The sprites are doing better lately, maybe because the witches have settled somewhat, I know this was you! Thank you so much, my friend. Without you, I might never have seen the errors of my ways and the forest would still be in a somewhat desperate state. I hope you'll take these things as a sign of our friendship for years to come! Appreciatively, Irin | |

Dearest friend, With 3's Forest gradually getting better, I keep finding time, here and there, where I can stand in the sunlight and soak in the sounds of the forest-alive and healthy. I've been sorting through some of my things too, looking over trinkets and mementos that fell into my possession. In my lifetime, I have forgotten so many face, so many sights and sounds that I cradled close to my heart. But looking through the letters I've received-Magdalene writes me notes sometimes, and Trout brings me his colorful drawings-the memories attached to them come rushing back. I write myself things too. They were mostly just ways to keep track of new events. Like when Magdalene and the witches came to the forest, and then you. Lately, I find myself writing down the little things. A particularly warm day with a perfect breeze. How at peace I felt when we sat side by side, when I spoke and you listened, and in that small window of time it was like my friends and family were alive again in my memories. I think about Cecily often, but more and more Cecily is just a name attached to an idea, and more and more I think of you too. You and Magdalene and Trout. Even the witches, though more in irritation than with fondness. Now that I know I can forget, I want to try my hardest not to. And we're the same, aren't we? Maybe these new memories will make up for the ones that are lost, for both of us. With love, Irin |
| Player Birthday (300 Affection) |
Hello there! I heard a little something from the sprites, was it your birthday today? It must be nice to be able to remember when you came into this world, I hope you have a great birthday. Please take these gifts, it's the least I could do for a good friend. Irin |

World-hopper, Look, your efforts have been interesting but all less than helpful. I really don't have time for you, not when I am dealing with the witches. Irin | |
| -900 Affection |
World-hopper, Are you creating trouble on purpose? It's a mystery what your motives are, but you better leave the forest alone or you'll be just as much trouble as the witches! Irin | |
| -1,500 Affection |
World-hopper, After repeated exposure to you, I’ve decided that you have no malicious intentions toward the forest. That doesn’t change the effects of your affections! Stay out of the forest, stop causing trouble for others. Irin |

Chit Chat[]
Chit-chatting with a NPC will give you a maximum of 
+1 Affection per day. They will repeat the same sentences over and over but it’s a nice way of getting to know a bit more about Dappervolk and its inhabitants.
- "When the soil is rich again, Trout will be able to grow turnips for there sprites. They'll be so happy!"'
- "Sprites are the lifeline of the forest. Anyone who wants to hurt them is a fool!"
- "Did you know sprite magic sustains the forest? Without them, the entire forest would wither."
- "In the olden days, trapping a sprite was a grievous offense! No one enforces the old laws nowadays."
After The Witches' War:
- "Yesterday, I found a few of the weaker sprites dancing around a clump of glowshrooms. I've never seen them so energetic."
- "I hope that one day, all can live in balance and peace in this forest."
