For someone who's trying to attract as little attention as possible, it's very embarracing to suddenly become the center of attention, because she doesn't know something that is concidered general knowledge. And since Irie's supposedly born and raised in Eorzea, she sure should know the names of the Twelve or who the primals are, right? So when ppl notice her lack of the most basic knowlege about the most simple things in everyday life, she has to come up with some more or less acceptable excuse. And most of the time it yields her many weird and confused glances.
