Personality: Irina is a dedicated mother with the desire to reunite with the daughter that was stolen from her. Irina is a very determined woman who has searched every crevice she could find within Zakat to find her little girl. Because of her child's appearance, she did not think Edward would be cruel enough to take her to any other country, but is unaware that is what happened. Irina is so desperate, that she is getting to the point of wanting to harm others for the sake of her daughter. It is taking a large amount of self control to prevent herself from doing this. Since she's visited Edwards old friends and they say nothing, she knows that people are keeping her daughter from her.

Irina has a family heirloom that she doesn't understand. It was given to her by her Father when he passed away thirteen years ago. It is a sword that she cannot use because it never leaves its sheath. It's very heavy and she doesn't seem to be strong enough to use it. However, it has protected her on multiple occassions, but she doesn't understand how. She now clings to it whenever something is going to hurt her and the sword fights back. The sword is very important to her, but she's willing to barter it for the sake of finding her daughter. She hasn't up until now only because no one has even hinted at knowing where her little girl was. The moment they do, she'll hand over the sword quick.

Irina is a gentle and loving woman who has given up. Her hope is fading and her will to live with it. She feels like a failure because she can't find her child. She tries to seem strong, but it's hard. If she weren't hopeless, she'd be the sweet girl she always was. When she is able to forget about her troubles, even for a short time, Irina is a cheerful woman with an air of adventure around her. She likes trying new things and going new places. She is a good and loyal friend. She's honest and caring, but she's also a woman you don't anger. She doesn't anger easily, but when she does you'll run. She doesn't yell when she's angry. She either stares or smiles at you. If she smiles, running is best.

Character Background: There is nothing more precious to a woman than her child. It doesn't matter how that angel comes into this world, a Mother will never not love her little one. When something this precious is taken from a Mother, she'll do anything to get them back. She won't stop until she's found her child. This is what it's like for Irina. She thought she had fallen in love, but the man she gave her heart to was a charmer. He was really a cruel person and once their child was born he finally revealed himself for who he is. His name was Edward Greene, but he was mostly known as Eddie. From the moment their child was born, Eddie felt he had a hold on Irina and used the kid as leverage.

"I suggest you behave for the sake of Anna." was a common saying. Irina wanted nothing more than her daughter to be safe and happy, but how could this be safe for her? Irina met up with some friends who were worried about her and came up with a plan to get Irina and her baby girl away from Edward. He found out about this plan and decided that he would be the one to take action first. He beat Irina until she passed out and then kidnapped Anna. When Irina woke up, she was in the hospital and her friends had to explain to her what happened. Anna was gone and Edward had taken her. After a year, the search stopped, but Irina did not. She searched every town she possible could for them.

After seventeen years, knowing her daughter wouldn't even recognize her now, Irina was ready to give in. She had one last chance: the Emperor. Irina hurried to the palace and tried to get in without official notification. When she couldn't, she put in multiple requests. She was warned that thousands came in in a week, so it will be a long time before she is called. Still, Irina was there at the palace every day, hoping that she could approach the Emperor on her own. She doubted her request would ever get through. When she never caught a glimpse of him, she snuck into the palace gardens by climbing a tree. She was chased out multiple times and even arrested, but the guards pitied her.

Over time, they knew she wasn't here to harm anyone. She was desperate. A few of the guards even tried helping her by putting in their own requests just for him to see her. A few people had theirs pushed through to his advisers, but the vagueness of the request had them denied or ignored. Irina was very close to giving up, thinking she was never going to see her little girl again. After four months of waiting, nothing came about her requests. However, a guard passed her information. He gave her the schedule of the Emperor and told her when to sneak back into the gardens to meet him. The guard there would be light, so she had to stay out of sight. Irina was happy to see she had one last chance.

Combat

Equipment: Excalibur

This sword is a very powerful Arcane Item that is bonded to the Valkov Family only. It automatically chooses its next wielder and won't work for anyone else but that person. It has currently chosen Irina, though because her Father died very suddenly in a battle, she is unaware of it's importance and power. She only keeps it because of her Father. She will learn these abilities over time, but for now it is able to produce a shield that prevent anything from harming her. The shield is extremely powerful and is able to withstand very powerful blows. Arcana and anything made from it is deflected from the shield. Draconic energy does double damage to the produced shield. The shield surrounds only Irina and anyone she wanted it to protect, but they have to be near her. The shield shines with a radiant blue color and sounds like metal when it's hit. There is a one round cooldown on the shield.

Skills: Cooking, Cleaning, Time Management, Filing, Flute, Swimming, Running, Climbing, Archery... Irina has traveled quite a lot. She has a high endurance. She runs from bandits on the road and has to defend herself from animals that want to eat her. She's not that much of a fighter, but it's within her and she is not weak. She has just not trained in battle as of yet. She's a good athlete, a good secretary, and a good house wife. She's a bit of a jack of all trades for the sake of survival.
