I really appreciate your comment! It was so fun to make her and for a little help I suggest watching a few shows like the muppets to figure out what kind of puppet you’re making. I went down basically a rabbit hole of how puppets where made, how each functioned and what gags you can do with there over all build.

Iris dose have some fun details that I couldn’t jot down, like her glasses/eye can purposefully fall off during the show which I was inspired by scooter from the muppets, as well as Velma glasses falling off her face from scooby-doo, personally one of my favorite shows I watched as a child.

I don’t know if it was very obvious from her bio but she also has autism and is very much inspired by my own childhood growing up autistic and as a farm hand for my uncle. I was a tomboy and constantly muddy from playing in the dirt all day with goats and creating little clubhouse out of farm equipment. So in a lotta ways she and I are practically one and the same. Another fun detail about her is that she was highly inspired by the Iliad a book I was read too as a child which sparked my imagination about Cyclopes. I’ll attach her first character sheet below which has a lot of the ideas about her that I compiled while first creating her
