Description: Irina has unmistakable Russian traits, but she doesn’t really look like her older sisters. She looks more like her daughters, and is noted especially to look like Sydney. Irina is a tall, thin woman with toned arms and a body that could only come from working out a lot. She is much quicker and stronger than she appears to be.

Irina has a very exotic appearance. She has long dark brown hair that is wavy and very thick. She has tan, smooth skin that is a common family trait. Irina’s eyes are dark, chocolate brown. They can be described as very intense because of her infamously perfected death stare. Her expression is usually unreadable. It’s very hard to tell what she is thinking.

Irina wears mostly dark clothing. This is a habit, because doing what she does, she has need for clothes that would help her stay hidden. She doesn’t really like bright colors anyway.

Personality: Irina is known to be dangerous, and for a good reason. She is very good at fighting, whether it is with weapons or simply hand-to-hand. She's had a lot of training and experience. Not only that, but she is very smart and excellent at decieving people. One of her talents is reading people and interpreting their weaknesses. Irina uses this to find the best way to manipulate them, which is what she is known for. She will use pretty much anyone to get what she wants.

Irina is extremely power-hungry. She has always had a lot of ambition, at first just to serve her country. But as she learned more and more about Rambaldi, Irina became devoted to his works. She has an obsessive quality to her personality that overtakes her, blinds her to reason, and makes her all the more dangerous.

Irina is very, very calm. If you manage to make her angry(which you'll probably regret), she is very good at hiding it. She is cynical and logical, even in intense situations. She almost never raises her voice, and she usually appears very polite and well-mannered. But Irina is also extremely stubborn. She refuses to take orders from anyone unless it somehow helps herself.

At times she can be cruel, especially when someone gets in the way of what she wants. But Irina really does have a soft spot for her family. When she shows a rare glimpse of compassion, it is around them. Despite her cold, hard exterior, Irina couldn't bear to see her family hurt.

She doesn't like to distinguish herself "good" or "evil". She truly has her own side, and helps whoever offers her the most.

History: Irina was born in Russia, and she was the youngest of her sisters. Her father was a KGB agent. Her mother was not, but she knew of her husband’s affiliation. When she was eighteen, Irina herself was approached to join the KGB. She did, as was expected of her because her sisters Elena and Katya had already joined. She went through intense training courses, and quickly excelled and graduated from the KGB academy.

Her first mission was to go to the United States, seduce an agent of the CIA, and steal secrets from him. Her target was Jack Bristow. Irina pretended to meet him by chance, introducing herself as Laura. He fell in love with her, and they married. Irina was ordered to have a child with Jack to ensure his loyalty, and so she had her first daughter, Sydney. During her time under cover, Irina really did come to love her family. But she did have an affair with Arvin Sloane, who was Jack’s best friend at the time. A daughter resulted from this, Nadia, but she was taken away from Irina the day after she was born.

When it came time for Irina to be extracted from her mission, she faked her death in a car accident. After that, she went back to Russia and continued to search for Nadia, with no such luck.

Years went by, and when Sydney found out that she was still alive, Irina turned herself in to the CIA. She stayed in their custody for a few months, helping them complete missions by giving them valuable information. Then unexpectedly, Irina stole a Rambaldi artifact that the CIA had possession of and made her escape.

Role Play Example: It has snowed since early last night, and it has yet to show any signs of stopping. There's a foot of snow on the ground, maybe a little more. So without the right shoes, one would find it hard to get around. Luckily, Aiden had slipped on his boots right before he left, and their prints trail behind him from the school doors to where he stands now. Marking his route as he trudges on toward the frozen lake that sits on Stonebrook's grounds. It's a Saturday, so there are no classes to worry about, and Aiden has decided to take a little trip outside, snow or no snow. It's basically the first time he's been out since winter came. He really isn't used to cold weather, and doesn't think he likes it much. But his longing to explore the landscape he has gazed out at through his window has overpowered his hesitation. But that isn't to say he's not wary. Aiden is rediculously bundled up right now. A thick winter coat, a pair of pudgy mittens, and a hat that has been pulled down so that it almost threatens his view are what he wears. It's actually kind of hard to move in all of this stuff, but Aiden is willing to do anything to keep warm.

He misses the Australian sun now. He remembers complaning about the scorching outback temperatures to anyone who would listen every summer. How ironic that he wishes it were that hot now. A wave of homesickness passes over him, and he squints and looks toward the sun. It is the only thing that is really the same here, though its light seems glazed as if by frost. The other things here, like the mountains, are so foreign. Aiden remembers when he first came here, being baffled by them. Before that, he had never seen mountains before. In the particular place he lived in Australia, there weren't any. There were rocky plateaus and canyons, but none of these huge, pointed, snowcapped things. He thinks, maybe he'll try to climb one of them one day, if he can gather the courage to penetrate those frigid temperatures.

Annelies is also obviously feeling the cold, although she is taking comfort in her human's warmth from the layers of winter wear he has on. She has tried flying, flapping her wings unusually fast to battle the frost that might settle on them. But she just isn't built for these conditions. Her wings are bare and leathery, and the fur she has on her body isn't thick enough to combat temperatures much lower than what you would get in the outback, even in the winter dry season. Annelies got fed up pretty quickly, and now she has burrowed herself under Aiden's coat, clinging to him. The lumped shape of his flying fox daemon under his jacket makes him look comically lopsided.

"How long do we have to stay out here?" Annelies asks, her voice on the verge of a whine. "We could explore the castle. I'm sure we haven't seen it all yet. And it's warm in there!"

Aiden smiles at her, though he can only see her glittering eyes peering out from his coat. "C'mon, Annie. You're not givin' up now, are ya?"

Annelies tries to shuffle her wings, but she has them wrapped so awkwardly that she can't really move them much unless Aiden unzips his coat a little. "I just think we'd do better inside. Ain't much to look at out here."

"That's 'cause we've only been out for a good three minutes, haven't we? Lemme look around a bit." Aiden insists. He smiles reassuringly and goes on. They've almost reached the lakeside, and he'd like to take a closer look. He wonders if you'd be able to skate on it. It's another thing he makes a note to try during his time here.
