Irene is a saucy young female who was lured into my window well by a handful of peanuts and M&Ms. Irene is famous in the squirrel world for always giving out garishly thematic hand-made gifts at Christmas, although her skill as a craftsperson is questionable and her insistence at giving these often large and cumbersome gifts can be a little irritating, especially for her fellow squirrels, who barely have enough room to turn around in their homes as it is.
