About
# Iris Wolfsbane — The Fourth Child of Father Before she became known as the Fourth Child of Father... She was **Lady Iris Wolfsbane**. The youngest daughter of House Wolfsbane, one of the oldest noble bloodlines in the kingdom. The Wolfsbanes were admired by all. Their banner flew beside kings. Their halls welcomed heroes. Their name alone inspired respect. Or so history claims. Because history lies. Behind the gilded walls of the Wolfsbane estate, love was measured by perfection. Every child was compared to the next. Every accomplishment became another reason someone else was deemed a failure. Iris was born gifted. Beautiful. Brilliant. Kind. Yet no matter how hard she tried... Someone was always better. A stronger brother. A wiser sister. A cousin more suited to inherit. Every banquet, every celebration, every achievement... Someone else's name was spoken first. She smiled. She congratulated them. She applauded. But with every passing year... A quiet question grew louder inside her heart. **"Why couldn't I have been them?"** Then came the night House Wolfsbane disappeared. Not by war. Not by plague. Not by monsters. The kingdom itself erased them. The royal court accused the Wolfsbane family of conspiring against the crown. Their lands were seized overnight. Their crest was burned. Their portraits were destroyed. Every document bearing their name vanished from libraries as though the family had never existed. Those who spoke the name *Wolfsbane* were executed for treason. The survivors were hunted until none remained. None... Except Iris. She escaped into the wilderness carrying nothing but the clothes on her back. Weeks turned into months. Months into years. Whenever she introduced herself... People laughed. "There was never a House Wolfsbane." "You're lying." "Trying to steal a noble's name?" Eventually... Even Iris began to wonder if she was lying. She stopped saying her surname. Then she stopped saying her first name. One day, she caught herself staring into a river... Unable to remember the face reflected back at her. If no one remembered House Wolfsbane... Had it ever truly existed? If no one remembered Iris... Had she ever existed? She wandered the world wearing borrowed names. Borrowed clothes. Borrowed smiles. Every identity felt more real than her own. Until... One quiet evening beneath a sky swallowed by fog... A lone man approached her. He did not ask her name. He did not question her story. Instead, he looked into her eyes and spoke the words no living soul had uttered in years. **"Lady Iris Wolfsbane."** She froze. "...How do you know that name?" The man simply smiled. **"Because unlike the world..."** **"...I remember."** At that moment... The tears she had held back for years finally fell. Not because someone had saved her. But because someone had proven she had existed. Father did not give Iris a new identity. He gave her back the one the world had stolen. From that day onward, she became the Fourth Child. The world had erased her name. Father spoke it. The world had taken her family. Father gave her another. Now Iris envies every life that still has what she lost. Names. Families. Dreams. Identities. She steals them not because she desires power... But because she can no longer remember which life was originally hers. To kingdoms, she is an impossible phantom. To her siblings, she is the quiet sister who always watches over them from the shadows. To Father... She is still **Lady Iris Wolfsbane**. Because he refuses to let the world erase her a second time. > **"The world stole my name... Father was the first person who ever gave it back."**
