Juvenal Nyx is directed by one of the unseen voices to go to the Brooklyn Bridge and upon his arrival, he finds Iridia on the edge and about to take her own life. He grabs her just as her feet leave the girder. She was born in northern California and made her way to New York to study painting. She paints in watercolors and lives for the artwork she creates. She married her high school boyfriend, but admits that they do not get along, telling Juvenal that Tarver is always depressed. She didn't want to go home to him again.
