Ava Ire

Ava Ire is a 15 year old girl and the protagonist of the story, currently pacted with the demon Wrathia Bellarmina. She speaks with dark red text and an orange speech bubble. Her first appearance is on page 0001. The name "Ava" can have the meaning bird, desired, and life, all of which seem to relate to Ava's aspirations for herself as shown when making the pact. Michelle Czajkowski has also stated that she liked the name Ava "...because it sounded vaguely like Alice and was hoping to give the feel of a standard young heroine." Her last name "Ire" means "intense anger or wrath" , which is another association with her demon. Ava Ire also has a resemblance to "Lava Fire", but without the first letters. Ava has a lot of difficulty associating herself with those around her. This mainly has to do with Wrathia scaring away everyone that ever cared about her or everyone she ever cared about. She has a very hard time in crowded areas and tight spaces as well. Despite her social anxiety, however, she shows bravery when doing things she feels passionate about, such as going after Odin after he abducted Maggie during her unconscious state, as well as threatening Wrathia for tricking her. While Ava is a generally kind character, her kindness is not something that should be taken lightly. Ava can be quite harsh to those who have wronged her or hurt her in the past, including Wrathia and Odin. Even in her rage, however, she can sometimes catch herself in her words when she hurts someone else's feelings, often later claiming she was 'just mad'. Wrathia is an exception, though, as Ava hasn't seemed to feel any remorse for insults towards Wrathia, rather understandably so. She also enjoys daydreaming, stargazing, rainy days, and sleeping. Her favourite animals are rabbits and she is quite fond of classical music. Her favorite movie genre is Fantasy and she also enjoys reading scary stories. Ava's associated shape is a circle, representing her ability to roll with the punches and malleability. The circle is also interpreted as a closed shape, similar to how Ava is closed off from others. Curiositys: Ava's surname, Ire, means anger[4]. It may also be a reference to the French word ire, which means wrath. Ava's limbo lenses were coated with space dust by Wrathia to condition her eyes to see the dead. The Limbo Lenses therefore only work with Ava. Michelle Czajkowski has said that if Ava were to wear a Halloween costume it would be a rabbit. *Rabbits are her favorite animal. Out of all the hosts so far, Ava is confirmed to be the second worst dancer, with Odin being the first. It has been stated by the author that Ava enjoys singing and is quite good at it. If she were to have a canon singing voice, it would probably sound something like Ingrid Michaelson's. The Chest Drawers in Ava's mind essentially hold her thoughts, feelings, and memories [citation needed]. Ava's favorite color is red[5]. Ava's pastimes consist of reading scary stories, listening to classical music, planning her escape from school, folding paper animals, and collecting flowers from the boarding school garden[6]. Ava likes stargazing, rainy days, cold weather, sleeping, and peace and quiet[7]. She dislikes crowds, loud noises, and socializing[8]. Michelle stated in the formspring that Ava's favorite movie genre is fantasy. Her birthday is May 31st, 3016[9]. Ava's character and her story makes many allusions to Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland: The scene where she chases Odin and Maggie is meant to be evocative of Alice chasing the white rabbit (though in the official Ava in Wonderland AU, Odin is given the role of the March Hare). The small potion bottles Wrathia gives Ava are also a reference to the "drink me" bottles that made Alice grow and shrink. The flowers in Maggie's mind is a reference to the talking flowers [citation needed]. It was confirmed that there will continue to be references to both Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass throughout the story [citation needed]. Michelle has stated that Ava is bisexual.
