Summary of Backstory Rebirth: Irene was created as a dreambeast with the soul of a European aristocrat residing in her. She was formed from the souls desires for freedom and spent all time flying in the forest. .

Awakening: The soul inside her found peace and wanted to evolve from this hopeless creature that only could fly and eat, hence they merged into one creating a new more humanoid appearance.

Civilization: Irene finds the city of solvus, helps aristocrats and powerhouses come to peace and for her effort in mediating between the parties she received her name from a weaver named Hera.

Finding a Home: Irene leaves the city (7 years later) after a feeling of being trapped emerges with a strange deja vu. The Yarn leads her to her birthplace, the purple forest, and she finds a dream-beast that evokes extreme feelings of care and love in her. She realizes this is her merged soul's daughter. This prompts her to instinctively name her and take her as her own daughter. Making Irene become a weaver, someone capable of weaving names.

Awakening

Irene's awakening was surprisingly smooth mostly because her inner soul had come to terms with its past. (On this note it is important to know that the soul or consciousness of the one who died in our world is not the same as the being created in the dream world. What gets inherited are core personality, values, manners, and desires.) The awakening is the merging of the inner soul and the being of dreams to create a new soul with a direct connection to the Yarn**. Due to inherentes of manners/body language it is not unheard of that family or lovers recognise each other's new form and feel the same feelings the original soul would have even if they have no memories of them. The feeling of deja vu is taken very seriously because of this.

**The yarn is what made the Dreamworld a combined entity, it is essentially the link that connects all residents to it. The Yarn allows them to influence the world itself. (Dreamers have a extremely close bond with the Yarn and that is what allows them to visit the world in their sleep, Irene was a dreamer before she died)

After Irene awakened she found herself clothed in light purple sheets with a single emerald in her hand no bigger than 2 cm shaped like a tear. When wandering the forest she could feel something in the air like thin lines of string made of wind and whenever she would touch it they transformed into something new. After a while she learned that these strings were a part of the so-called Yarn and touching them she could knit something into existence. She made flowers at first, then new clothes and even golden jewelry.

Civilization

Irene wandered until she found the city of Somuns one of the few large cities in existence. She quickly learned the ways of the city and quickly nestled her way into the upper classes after receiving a name. Names in the dream world can only be given by a few select entities, often referred to as weavers***, and are often reserved for high positioned people or people of great power. (In rare cases a resident with close connection to the Yarn can weave their own name). Before Irene received her name she was called “Purple wing”. It was common practice to call someone by their obvious characteristics if they had no name.

***Weavers are residents who can weave the Yarn to create names and other great phenomena.

A name is inherently known to all by the will of the Yarn meaning all who sees a named resident instinctively know their name. A name comes with many advantages, among others you can sign weaved contracts. Weaved contracts hold a lot of power and can in extreme cases even sever someone's connection to the Yarn completely.

Irene got her name from Hera, a weaver akin to a queen in the city of Somnus. She received her name for all her work in mediating between political parties and preventing a violent situation from escalating, saving the lives of many among the smaller aristocrats.

Finding a home

After about 7 years Irene started feeling a sensation of being trapped between all the happenings and people in the city. Once she felt this, a sense of deja vu showered over her and she knew she had to leave. Irene packed all her belongings, informed her clients and told her servants in a moment's notice. Irene headed for the place that called her, it was like the Yarn moved under her wings pushing her towards a destination, no carrying would probably be more accurate, like a caring friend, it led her towards her home. It was only when the purple swirls appeared and the sky disappeared that she realized she was back where she was born, or reborn. The purple forest. She gently touched the small white flowers that once had given her food and comfort. A smile played on her lips and a laughter echoed through the caves, only damped by the vegetation, but still audible to anyone close by. Irene walked until she saw a dream beast softly sleeping on a field of those lovely white flowers. As if sensing her presence it opened its eyes and stars stared back at Irene. Deja vu. An immense feeling of familiarity filled her body. Feelings of care, protectiveness and unconditional love were raging inside Irene's body. She had heard of others that had experienced similar situations and she knew, she instinctively knew that this dream beast was hers. Or rather the soul inside it and the merged soul in her knew each other, loved each other. “Who…” Irene muttered as the beast gently stood up. “Who are you?” A warm sensation tickled down her cheek, and the creature simply tilted its head. It moved towards her and put its soft nose against her hand. The gesture reminded her of how a child would pull their parents' clothes for attention. “Child?” Irene softly bent down and hugged the dream-beast.

After calming down Irene stepped back to look at the beast in front of her. She started to pull the Yarn, slowly, gently, and softly. The feeling of an open night sky in winter filled her senses. “Esther” A name formed from her sophisticated gestures, she carefully placed the name on top of her child and it weaved into the Yarn coming from her binding it to her. Irene smiled with satisfaction when she felt the name from her child. “Esther. Esther.. Est..” She muttered before she realized what she had done. She had named her, she had weaved a name! Irene burst out in laughter only to calm down and thank the Yarn that led her here. The Yarn seemed to vibrate to the joy Irene expressed.

Esther

Irene manipulated the weave to build herself a makeshift house, it was not what most would consider a house more like a treehouse made of purple wood and vines, it looked like a tree had contorted itself to form a shelter for her. Esther had been simply following Irene around and Irene never went far away from her. Watching Esther sleep and nibble on the flowers was a quite enjoyable pastime. Although Irene considered Esther her daughter she couldn't help but admit that the one in front of her was not her soul's real daughter, it was just a beast made from her will and desire, until Esther's awakening the soul will have no control over the beast's body.

During these peaceful days Irene sometimes received letters carried by name finders**** requesting her help and opinions on various matters. Irene took a work from home approach to this and gathered up a whole flock of namefinders. Using them and her contacts in Somnus she built a network of information with her as a central hub. She would write up contracts and send them on their way to the involved parties and she would barter information and favors all without leaving her home. The home itself was slowly evolving to accompany Irene and Ester. Irene used a lot of her past time to add things, make new rooms, sculpt the walls and fix smaller details.

****Name finders are small creatures able to find named people they have met regardless of their whereabouts.
