TWO: The History.
Irina has lived for a very long time. Longer than any person who knows nothing about the supernatural can even imagine, although her two sisters are older than her still. She was born in Slovakia in the year 1025. Irina was always regarded as a pretty little girl with the makings of a great beauty, though no one really knew where her good looks came from. Her mother, though not ugly, was a very plain looking woman with nothing striking about her in the slightest. Every bit the typical famer’s wife. Her father had sharp, calculating features that were simply too intense to really be handsome. And yet together, they’d brought into the world a lovely little girl with golden blonde hair, full lips and a beauty you could just tell would be striking in the future. This little girl, or the "Tiny Princess" as she was fondly called by others in her village, grew up on her family’s large farm. The land her father owned provided very well and he also raised livestock for trade. Because of his trading endeavors, their family had much more money than most of the rural families in and around the village their land was a part of.

As a young girl, Irina had far less responsibilities for a child her age that lived on a farm. Her father had more than enough money to hire farmhands to do the work, so she didn’t really have to lift a finger. She helped her mother around the house from time to time whenever the housekeeper was busy, but mostly she was free to roam her father’s land, doing everything from talking to the farmhands and stableboys to riding horses for endless hours. No one scolded her and no one tried to get her to settle down and come inside when it was dark. It was a freedom that most little girls only dreamed of, but she possesed and held onto with dainty hands. Her childhood passed in this pleasurable way and soon enough Irina grew into a beautiful teenage girl. Less and less of her time was spent on the farm and more was spent riding or going to the various villages her father traveled to for trade. She picked up the little habit of being very, very, flirty. It was something that came entirely naturally, especially because there were so many good looking men that she encountered. The blonde beauty would tease, flirting with men ranging from the handsome, strong farmhands that worked for her father to the wealthier men of the various village to the common men who spent their time in the village tavern.

At times this flirting would go too far. The day her father came out to the stables to find his now eighteen year old daughter in a heated embrace with a stable boy was the day that set her parents over the edge. Needless to say, her father asked that the stable hand leave and his employment was terminated. Both of her parents told Irina that she was of eligible age to marry. She needed to stop any philandering that she was doing and find a good husband that could provide for her and treat her like the princess that she'd been brought up to be.

Needless to say, this didn’t sit well with their daughter. She was accustomed to doing as she pleased without her parents' interference, so what reason was there to listen to them in this instance? None. She continued in her usual behavior and just made sure to never be caught by her parents. Her justification for it? You only had one life to live. Why not have fun doing what you do best?

Well, three years later Irina started working in the village tavern. Her parents said that if she wouldn’t marry, she wouldn’t be able to live on the farm and longer. The owner of the tavern, one of the men who was often caught looking at Irina in a less than respectful way, offered room and board and three square meals a day for her work. At this job, Irina was free to act as she pleased, flirting with the regular patrons as well as the men traveling through town. After all, if they were only there for a night, why not make that night pleasurable for them?

It was this way she met an especially handsome group of men. They were new to town and Tanya took an immediate liking to them. And they liked her just as much. Two of the men were just like many of the handsome men she’d encountered in her life, but the third...he was different. He was very handsome and looked to be of Russian descent. His skin was pale, but not overly so and his eyes were so intense. It wasn't difficult to see the lustful look within them. Irina was drawn to him immediately. She wanted him, more than any other man she'd ever met in her entire life. The group of men stayed in town for a week and Irina readily got to know them. When the leader of their little group asked if she wanted to go along with them in her travels, she made a very hasty decision, accepting their offer. She packed up her few belongings and, without even telling her parents goodbye, left with them. The man that she was so attracted to, Jensen, was quick to make sure she didn't leave his side. She was his and there was absolutely nothing wrong with that in her eyes.

They traveled away from the village, taking the roads through the woods. It was when they were deep in the woods that they stopped. Once they'd set up camp Jensen took her into his tent. He kissed her rather eagerly, which really wasn’t much of a surprise, and Irina could feel the passion welling up deep within her. She gave herself to him that night, finding that he made her feel like no other man had before.

But one of the other men in the group, Nikolai, became very jealous. He confronted her soon after the group had gotten to another village. Irina was walking down by the stream to clear her thoughts when Nikolai came up behind her and took her by the waise. It was a long time ago and most of what she can remember now was fighting against him, trying to get away and him holding her and beating terribly her every time he pulled her closer and tried to kiss her. Of course she refused to do what he wanted! Somehow, she got away from him and tried running away. But she was so shaken up from what happened, she fell from a cliff in the forest, landing at its base. The fall had bruised her further from what Nikolai had already done and she was bleeding both internally and externally. Irina just laid there in such terrible pain, sure that no one was going to find her and she was going to die. She was too far from the camp for Jensen to find her, or for anyone to hear any cries for help. But it seemed that she was to be graced with a miracle.

The brilliant pale face of a woman was the next sight she saw besides the canopy of the forest. She leaned down over her, her eyes full sympathy and compassion. Irina fainted, but she was sure that the woman had carried her away from the base of the cliff. She woke up with the woman, whose name was Sasha, kneeling next to her, holding her wrist. She told her quietly that she would feel some pain. Before Irina could ask her why, it started to hit her. The next three days were full of that agonizing, burning pain, but soon she was turned. The mysterious woman, her sire, explained everything, including her new nature. Irina was then introduced to the two other women with Sasha. Katrina and Tanya. She began to travel with them, growing to love Sasha as a mother and Katrina and Tanya as sisters. It was a wonderful feeling of family that she'd really never experienced.

Irina found it difficult at first to control her thirst, but like all vampires she gained control. Besides, she didn't enjoy killing the men that she loved so dearly. That was why she and her sisters began to feed from animals. With practice, the three of them grew accustomed to being around humans and were able to take human lovers without killing them in the process. Together and both before and after they stopped drinking the blood of humans, Irina, Tanya and Katrina became the center of the myth of the succubus. They were legend.

But then tragedy struck. Sasha had turned a small boy, Vasilii, this creating an immortal child. This went against the laws of the vampire world, and so the Volturi came in and executed both Vasilii and Sasha for the crime. Irina's still heart broke to pieces as she was forced to watch the death of her mother. It hit her extremely hard and she became more withdrawn and serious than before. And above anything else, she believed very strongly in upholding the laws of their world. With her sisters she mourned their mother's death. Soon they met Carmen and Eleazar and Irina welcomed them as sister and brother, though their presence wouldn't ever fill the void Sasha left behind.

There was news of a Gold Rush in the U.S. at about the time when the 19h century ended. Their coven chose to move to that area of the country. The land was vast and well suited for their needs. And besides, there were plenty of lonely men looking for companionship. Soon after they settled themselved there, they met the Cullens, another coven of vampires who fed only on animals. Irina thought of them as friends, of course, and she had to admit it was amusing to see Edward turning down Tanya. Amusing and yet the boy was certainly missing out. Her sisters were some of the most beautiful women in the world, after all.

About a year ago, a nomad vampire named Laurent made his way up to their home in Denali. He seemed genuinely willing to commit himself to their lifestyle of feeding off of animals. Irina immediately took a liking to him. It wasn't too long before she took him as her mate. True, his eyes never did seem to be the same shade as the rest of the family, but she never caught him harming a human and that was good enough for her. He had to be trying, right?

When the news got back to her that Laurent had been murdered, Irina was absolutely livid. What right did they have to kill her mate? She truly wanted to go down and get her revenge on the wolves that killed him. It was only just that they pay for his life with all of theirs. But Tanya wouldn't let her or any of them go down to Washington. They couldn't break the treaty that was extended to them from being the Cullens' extended family. When Carlisle and the others asked for help during a war with a band of nasty newborns, Irina was adamant about not helping. If they wouldn't allow her or the rest of the coven to break the treaty in order to right the wrong of Laurent's death, then they shouldn't help. Tanya agreed with this and so the coven remained in their home in Denali.

Since then Irina still mourns the death of her dear Laurent. And she still wants to exact her revenge on the wolves. Losing two people who were important to her has taken a toll on her and there is no doubting that she isn't the same. But time has allowed her to at least heal a bit. More healing will take more time.

THREE: The Family.
Sasha: (deceased) Irina misses Sasha with all of her heart. She was more of a mother than Irina ever had before and wishes that there could be a way to bring her back.

Tanya and Katrina: Irina loves them both as sisters and would do absolutely anything for them. They are family and therefore have her unending loyalty.

Carmen and Eleazar: She admits that her bond with them isn't as deep as with Kate and Tanya, but she still loves them and thinks of them as a sister and brother. Their coven wouldn't be complete without them.

The Cullens: They are a part of her family and are important to her, though Irina does still resent the fact that they would not allow a break in the so-called treaty after Laurent's murder, at least a little bit.

FOUR: The Loyalty, The Work and The Home.
ALLEGIANCE: The Denali Coven // The Cullens
CURRENT OCCUPATION: "Ghost-writer" for various human authors
CURRENT RESIDENCE: Denali, Alaska

FIVE: The Personality.
Irina has always had a distinct personality, but it has changed since the death of Sasha and her dear Laurent.

Formerly, the first thing most people would notice about Irina is that she was incredibly flirtacious. It was, and is, a trait she and her sisters are known for. Whether a man is married or in a relationship, as long as he was good looking and Irina took notice of him, she would flirt to no end. But she wouldn't stoop so low as to steal a man from another woman, that is unless she did not like the woman or didn't respect her in the slightest. Her respect has always been given more to men (with obvious exceptions) and she, like her sisters, enjoys men very much. They were the reason she became "vegatarian" and stopped drinking human blood. It felt wrong to sustain herself by killing the men she loved so much. Now, though, Irina is a bit different. More serious. She will still flirt, but it isn't always as often as before. Sometimes it makes her feel wrong even though Laurent has been dead and isn't coming back. Deep down she wants to find someone else, but her heart is still hurting after losing one that she cared for so much.

Digging a bit deeper, you will discover that she is a charming woman with a winning personality and confidence. This together with her looks helps her to attract the opposite sex and sometimes to manipulate others to get what she wants. But even deeper still than that there lies a fierce loyalty to her sisters and her coven. She would do anything for any of them and holds them in higher regard than anyone. If you hurt even one of them, you will definitely have a very angry vampire on your hands. Irina would be quick to try and gain revenge for such a wrong. An eye for an eye.

Like her sisters, she is a strong supporter of upholding vampire law. Though she would never join the Volturi because of the seemingly barbaric way they choose to uphold the law. She wouldn't voice that particular opinion aloud, though, so as not to bring about their wrath that is heard of so often in horror stories.

That bit of the "Little Princess" has managed to stay with her from her human years. Irina can admit to liking things when they go her way and fighting against them when they don't. She's not necessarily quick to argue all of the time. It simply depends on the topic. She also enjoys pampering and indulging herself and others whether it comes to material things or simple urges. The Denali coven always surrounds themselves with the finest and that suits her just fine. Finally, Irina is vindictive. Like a princess who has the king wrapped about her finger, if she is wronged she is quick to want revenge. That was why she wanted to go to Washington when Laurent was killed. It was a wrong that needed to be corrected. Her need for revenge needed to be appeased. Needless to say, do not wrong her or you will greatly regret.

SIX: The Reflection.
Irina is, like all vampires, inhumanly beautiful. Any model or actress would kill to have looks like hers. She is slightly taller than the average woman, standing at five feet and eight inches and has been described as having a willowy and slender figure. There are a few slight curves in her figure, but overall she is not as robust as a woman could be. Her skin is pale white and is as hard as marble. Her eyes were once a lovely and icy shade of blue, but now range from a golden color to black depending on if she has fed. They go well with her other facial features such as her higher cheekbones and full, heart-shaped lips. Her hair is blonde and falls around her face down to her upper back.

In terms of wardrobe, she will be seen in only the best. Designer fashions aren't something unknown to her in the slightest. In fact, that's all she'll wear. When you are a beautiful nearly 1000 year old vampire with lots of money, why settle for anything less?
