Character Name: Ib Character Series: Ib Character Age: 9 Background:Here!
As a note, Ib is a fairly short game, and most of what is known about the characters is revealed in the game play, which takes just a few hours to complete. Because of this, the characters get very little development.
Personality: Despite being an almost completely silent protagonist, it is possible to get a feel for her personality from the speech options that do exist and from the overall situation around her.
Properly fitting her role, she is quite the quiet little girl. She rarely speaks up, as noted by her lack of verbal responses in-game. Her mother also takes note of this, as she first warns Ib not to hassle the other art gallery visitors, and then realizes that there is not much need to worry about Ib making a ruckus. Even when accompanied by Garry and Mary, she rarely engages in conversations with them, though she does listen. In fact, Ib is quite observant overall. Her eagerness is to explore the art gallery on her own is an example of this.
Ib is also quite intelligent. Though she has the limited vocabulary of a nine year old, often replacing words she doesn't know with "???", she is capable of solving all the difficult puzzles that stand between her and freedom, even on her own. Despite their complexity, she is capable of solving them without even batting an eye. Even when she is simultaneously harassed by the living works of art, her brain keeps working and she is capable of gathering all the clues she needs and piecing them together despite the pressure.
For a girl just nine years old, Ib is especially brave. Highlighted by the very premise of the game, she explores a frightening version of an art gallery, completely on her own in the beginning. She is chased by living statues, paintings of women, and mannequin heads. In one room, she, now joined by Garry, is forced to solve an array of intertwined puzzles while not one, but several works were chasing them, triggered by their progress. Despite it all, the only thing she falters at throughout the whole situation is the sight of a painting of her mother and father.
There is still all the innocence and vulnerability of a child under her brave exterior. Though she remains strong in the face of actual danger, once it has dissipated, she finds herself reaching out to Garry for comfort. When reading the titles of works of art in the gallery, she can't read words such as "hell" without Garry's assistance, showing how innocent she truly is. She also innocently asks Garry why he "talks like a lady" in a side conversation. Her vulnerability is also showcased by how she clings to Garry for comfort after both a terrifying nightmare about the moving paintings and statues in the warped art gallery and Mary's attempted attack on her in certain endings. Overall, Ib is quiet, yet brave and intelligent young girl.
Abilities: Ib seems to be free of any special powers, though she is remarkably intelligent.
Sample Entry: [Ib was curious about this place. Wandering around and observing had become her hobby since coming here. Uptown it was, today. She comes across a certain building and attempts to read the name.]
Le...de...day....
[???. She doesn't know this word. She looks to a drone for help, polite, but rather expressionless.]
Excuse me...how do you say that? [She points at the sign, but is only met with a classic, empty drone response.]
...How strange. He looks normal, but he reminds me of the gallery. Maybe he's one of those strange...drones everyone was talking about. It was like he was fake.
But Mary wasn't really real, but she acted more like a human than that guy. Hm. This place is so strange.
[But enough of talking to herself. She spares one last glance at the foreign word before moving along. She'll have to wait for another day.]
