	This character or verse has mature themes and concepts, thus those of young age are ill-advised to look through these.

Background

Ib is the silent protagonist of the horror game Ib and the first controllable character in the game. She, along with Garry and Mary (v1.04), are one of the few characters that the player can control.

Ib, with her parents, one day visits an art museum featuring Guertena's artworks. Her mother gives her permission to look at the art on her own, and Ib goes on to explore the museum by herself. Eventually, she gets transported to the Fabricated World (read as "??? World," depending on whether or not Garry survives). After exploring a bit, she eventually finds the Red Rose. The rose is linked to her life, and if it dies, so does she. She doesn't understand this, however, because she can't completely read the sign next to where she found the rose.

As Ib keeps going through the cursed gallery, she will find Garry, collapsed on the ground and appearing to be in pain, yet holding onto a Small Key tight in his hand. After she picks up the key, if she inspects Garry, she'll have two options: to call out to him or to massage his shoulders, which will have little impact or will cause him even more pain, respectively. However, these options will become unavailable after Ib obtains the Blue Rose, which she will find being torn apart by the Lady in Blue. Since Garry, just like Ib, is connected to a rose, nothing will help him until Ib heals his rose.

The way Ib behaves towards Garry is chosen by player but is also partially controlled by the game. Ib seems to love Garry in the same way he does for her. Also, as the relationship with Garry can be chosen, it can be chosen with Mary as well, but there is no bond between the two of them. Ib seems to like Mary, since Garry said Ib may be sorry for leaving Mary there after he defended her from Mary once he found out/remembered the truth about her being a painting. Even if Ib understands Mary is a painting, she doesn't think about how dangerous Mary can be.

When Ib escapes with Garry into the Sketchbook, they soon end up in the Toy Box after Mary pushes them into it. Depending on the conversations between Mary and Ib, she may or may not be able to find her rose. If there are no petals above Ib after she wakes up, her rose can't be found. If the petals of her rose are seen above Ib, they will lead to the rose.

Standard Equipment

• Red Rose: The Red Rose is a rose in the game Ib. The Red Rose symbolizes Ib's life in the Fabricated World. Unlike Garry's Blue Rose, Ib's full rose consists of five petals. If the Red Rose loses all of its petals, Ib will die. The rose's color may be based on the color theme of Ib's appearance, as well as her courageous and kind personality, shown by her actions towards Garry. Since Ib is younger than Garry, and her rose can only have half the number of petals, it may be linked to the character's age-based stage in life.
