[UPDATE: Added Scarlet Singer mention] This is the twenty-fifth in a series of mini-interviews with the residents of Second Life. For the most part, I'll try to leave the responses unedited, except where editing will grant greater clarity.

Iris Ophelia is someone I'd like to hang out with more often. I'm a big fan of her personal blog and she's always fun to talk to. I know she's busy with college life and all, but if you get the chance, Iris, come visit! Incidentally, she'd like everyone to know that the above portrait was concocted by Scarlet Singer! I knew that, and even had plans to put that in, but at the last second, my mind went walkies. I've fixed it now!

Your SL name: Iris Ophelia

How did you first come to SL?: I'd been watching it and joined once I saw the mobile-phone verification instead of credit card verification, since I'm timid like that.

How did you choose your name?: I sometimes go by Ayame online, which is Japanese for Iris. I picked Ophelia because it was classy, and I'm an English major. Also allowed for a punchy blog title.

What's your favorite thing about SL?: The avatar customization and community potential.

What do you like least about SL?: The drama and incredible negativity.

Favorite hangout/store?: I can often be found sitting on shingled rooftops in Nakama.

Name one new feature you'd like to see added to SL: Being able to attach more than one thing to an attachment point, ie. layering necklaces, popping in a nosering, glasses, and prim lashes without extensive point juggling.

Shout outs: HI MOM!
