we don't know that for sure though :b if anything I think it's far more likely that irina is the original while maria was always irina after the reboot

it's awfully strange that maria would compare herself to a doll, that she'd be completely aware of the fact that she was being lied to, and that she'd somehow be complacent in what happened anyways. you could argue that it's just supposed to be foreshadowing, but it's coming directly from her in queen of the glass. it's explicitly her line of thought

and if we assume that irina was plain and simple a creation made by seth, soul and all, then there isn't any issue

moreover, the black box type that sent irina and co back in time is different than the black box type that was in the climb one. so we can't really assume that they have the same functions
