I mean the doll is aware that she is Irina (she tells sickle her real name and all) I don't think Doll Director remembers anything about her previous life as Irina (before she dies at the end of the world).

In the infomine of Master of the Heaven Yard, chapter 7:

The girl was a doll from the moment she was born. She had no mother, but she had Gallerian. He made sure she never felt lonely. He was her “father” and she was his “daughter”. She couldn’t walk, so he filled her room with various things. A red wineglass, a blue spoon–they all had hearts. She called the wineglass her “big sis” and called the spoon her “big brother” (affectionate terms). It would be silly for Irina to regard the vessels as her siblings if she remembers herself as Irina, I think.
