Born on a craggy, windswept island off the coast of Scotland, Irma distinguished herself from her fellow thistles early on. Showing off a blazing intelligence at Loch Glenachaphroaig School for Flowers, she graduated eight years early at the top of her class. Originally showing a proclivity for English Literature in general and Chaucer in particular, she enrolled at Oxford University to continue her studies.

Though her professors were deeply impressed by her razor sharp wit and incisive dissections of the Canterbury Tales, they could not help but notice that within her studious, intense exterior lurked the heart of a beast. She would often disappears for entire weekends, returning to class on Mondays with blood dripping from her spiky leaves and offal dripping from her mouth. Concerned that she was turning into some sort of serial killer, a group of her closest friends and professors decided to stage an intervention. After luring her home under the false pretense of having a small birthday party, they gathered in her spartan one-bedroom apartment to surprise her. She ate them all.

An international manhunt followed, but to no avail. The brilliant Chaucerian/Carnivorous Flower was always one step ahead of the authorities. She was traced to the notorious Reeperbahn district of Hamburg before vanishing without a trace.

Eight years later, the enigmatic Irma appeared on the Minor League X-Ball circuit, first attracting attention by playing with the short-lived Thailand-based team, the Yummy Bunnies. After displaying her spectacular talent for devouring rabbits in the 1993 playoff season, she was quickly snapped up by the Bunny Pickin' Flowers. Quickly proving her mettle, Irma settled firmly into X-Ball legend by consuming an entire bleacher of fans.

Though the authorities are still understandably concerned about her triple-digit homicide rap, they are also understandably impressed by her grasp of a subtle and strategy-based game such as X-Ball. In fact, the lead detective on her case now heads up her fan club. How wack is that?

Now a fixture of X-Ball, Irma hasn't settled down one bit. From her pre-game strategy meetings, to her telepathic communication abilities, to her ability to kick some serious X-Ball ass, Irma is as sharp as ever. In fact, her game is improving. She's going to be the player to watch for many years to come. Go, Irma, go!
