The headline read.  “Local metal-smith and glassblower artisan, Liam O'Malley and his wife, Muriel tragically died in a warehouse fire on Tuesday.  Arson is suspected, though the details are still under investigation.  The O’Malley’s had one daughter, who is thirteen.  She is reportedly missing.”



One year later, with Iona on her own trying to stay alive, a kind-hearted traveler woman named Trinka took her in.  Aedus, her husband, was irate when he discovered the little bird.  Trinka convinced Gustave to let her stay.  Quickly the little bird found a way to get through Romany’s rough exterior.  Iona became the daughter they never had (at least for a little while).

Now safe in a family environment, she lived, fought and stayed with Trinka and Aedus until she was almost eighteen.  Tragedy struck again – Aedus, Trinka, Bavil, Wesh, Tobar, Sebastian and Tamas were killed by.  Those, the mighty Sumbru of the negru pădure, slain.  Those she called family were brutally killed by a monster.  Suspecting who it was, she would have her revenge. 

 

For the second time in her short life, her family had been killed.  The little bird blamed herself.  With the guilt eating her alive, she wanted to give upon on herself, but by the order of the Sumbru -- the law forbade anyone from taking their own life.  She lived a reckless life as the pain and guilt consumed.  Through a series of events, Iona found herself in a dire situation, but thankfully someone was watching over her that fateful night.  Before she knew it, before she knew, Iona was recruited by the by the Supernatural and Paranormal division of the FBI.



Fast forward six years later; she's an experienced field director for the SP.  It's her job to hunt down other worldly creatures which pose a danger to society.  She's not your typical Fed or SP agent.  Iona focused her hunts on the most deadly of creatures stealing innocent lives. 



Locally she's known as an arms dealer; specializing in hard to secure weapons.  She's also an expert metal-smith and glassblower like her birth parents.  Her adoptive parents gave her a love for fighting, living a travelers life, embracing everything about herself, even her greatest weaknesses and living life without the promise of tomorrow.  Though Trinka told her to plan.



A year and half ago she woke up from a coma, where a  mysterious accident left her close to dead. Iona's memories for the past six months gone. While she is physically recoved and called out retirement, she is determinded to find out what happened. The SPD  wanted her back, she agreed, but on her terms.

​

Iona never backs down from a justified fight, even if it means there is a chance of losing her life.  She trusts her own judgment except when it comes to love, lust or men in any form.  She can count on the hand of a finger-less man how many people she trusts completely.
