Irina Clockworker, regarded as the Sorceress of Time and the Eternal Sorceress, was a powerful mage. Awakening from Sin in the wake of the Levianta Catastrophe, the immortal accepted a quest from Held to collect the vessels of sin on a whim. She later became involved in numerous incidents and conflicts caused by the sin vessels over the centuries. She was one of Levia and Behemo's reincarnations.
History[]
Early Life[]
Irina was born in BT 004, the twelfth Ghoul Child created by Seth Twiright. Due to having no Malice, she was disposed of in a nearby river. She was later rescued and taken in as the daughter of the artisan Clockworker and the younger sister of Kiril Clockworker, living in Lighwatch as an apprentice craftsman. During this time, she learned the tune of the Clockwork Lullaby. After the priestess Elluka Chirclatia cured Kiril of being a HER, the jealous girl befriended the woman when she moved in with them and became her brother's fiancée. When rumors began sprouting that Elluka had met with the god Held residing in Elphegort, she made it clear to her future family she had never even left Levianta during her entire life.
In EC 013, both Elluka and Irina were selected as potential candidates for Project 'Ma' after being surveyed for their viability. As the time for the final selection drew closer, Seth Twiright whispered to her that she'd be the new Ma if the others were gone and Irina, embracing her true nature as an HER, began plotting to eliminate the other candidates, pushing Ly Li off a cliff to her death and hanging Milky Eights. With the incidents framed as an accident and a suicide, Irina approached Elluka and pleaded they stop fighting, offering her the position of Ma. As Elluka embraced her in gratitude, Elluka stabbed Irina in the back and broke down laughing and crying as she died.
After the twin gods Levia and Behemo incarnated in Irina Clockworker's body and Levia became the consciousness for the new reincarnation, "Irina" awoke from Sin in the Magic Kingdom Levianta in EC 013. Recalling her brother Kiril Clockworker using the forbidden ark and Clockwork Secret Art to resurrect her, freeing the dragon Levia-Behemo and destroying the Magic Kingdom, Irina left the Leviantan wasteland and vanished from the public eye.
Remembering him to be her sister-in-law old friend, Irina visited the god Held and told him about her murder, resurrection, and what transpired during the catastrophe. The earth god related events that had occurred in his forest regarding Adam Moonlit and Eve Zvezda, who had been secretly living in a cottage nearby. He explained they had been raising Hänsel and Gretel after Eve killed their mother, Project 'Ma' candidate Meta Salmhofer; Adam and Eve abandoned the twins in the forest due to the famine caused by the Levianta Catastrophe before they returned and killed their false parents.
Afterwards, the twins had split Eve's Original Sin into seven vessels of sin that were scattered across the world. Held tasked Irina with collecting the demon-possessed objects before they caused calamities for humans. Feeling bored and partially guilty for the situation, Irina agreed.
Venomania Event[]
Although not knowing what form the vessels of sin took, Irina nonetheless began searching for the vessels in order to limit the number of HERs. During her quest, Elluka traveled throughout Evillious, giving aid to others in order to form relationships with collaborators and gain leads on the vessels of sin.
In EC 126, while visiting Marquis Ferdinand in the town of Mystica in Asmodean, Irina encountered a young Sateriasis Octo, who related to her how he dreamt that a drought would come upon the town. Intrigued by the boy's apparent magical power, she believed Sateriasis's story and left immediately. Acquiring a Ziz Tiama, she returned to Mystica several months later with the octopus, faced with the foretold drought. The sorceress then sacrificed the ziz tiama at a nearby mountain range, conjuring a rainstorm that lasted for days. Elluka left the town soon after.
In EC 132, she helped quell a rebellion in Retasan fortress, earning the gratitude of the Beelzenian Empire and Princess Aprilis Beelzenia. Around EC 136, Irina gained information that King Karchess Marlon possessed a vessel of sin; by the time she arrived in Marlon, however, Karchess had gone missing.
Later, Irina was brought by Queen Martius Marlon into the Beelzenian Imperial Family's investigation concerning the disappearances of men throughout Asmodean, their youngest sibling Mayank Beelzenia also being among the missing men. Traveling to Asmodean herself, Irina attempted to visit the mansion of Cherubim Glassred, another disappeared man, only to be turned down at the entrance by one of the servants.
Hearing the servant complain about another previous visitor, Irina learned from him that the Marlon noble Yufina Crim had also visited two days prior, and that she was staying in Lasaland. She later met withYufina where she was staying at. As Yufina complained about how the imperial siblings were acting slowly despite Gumina Venomania obviously being the culprit, Irina cautioned her that Gumina appeared to be a powerful woman akin to a monster.
Soon after, Irina asked Yufina about Karchess's vessel of sin, which she revealed was a Golden Key pendant. As she asked to borrow it, explaining it could defeat Gumina' demonic power, Yufina refused. Irina then said she would be at an inn nearby in case Yufina changed her mind, leaving the room soon after.
The following day, Irina visited the mansion of Gumina, although turned down by her under the pretense of still recovering from her family's massacre. Soon after, Yufina killed Gumina with the Golden Key. Irina then ended up assisting with the aftermath of the incident, also failing to find the Venom Sword. Deducing the fugitive Yufina would be in Elphegort, as it was situated between Marlon and Beelzenia, the sorceress traveled to its capital, Aceid, and indulged herself at the Werra bar in its Southern District.
After reflecting on her recent failures, Irina paid for her drinks and left the tavern. Failing to find Yufina, Irina continued to assist the Empire in solving the case with Venomania. During her investigation, she learned that Kaino Greeonio, Prince Mayank, and Sateriasis Octo had sired Venomania's children and pursued them. Learning that Kaino had fled from home with his son, Irina discovered him at a brothel in Lasaland.
Irina met with him soon after and noticed that he shared Adam Moonlit's appearance, although not sensing any Demon of Sin within him. After witnessing Kaino die, Irina left. While investigating Mayank, she learned about the imperial family's cover up of his child and Mayank giving up his daughter to Baron Tae Conchita and his wife.
Afterward, she pursued Sateriasis and, learning he started a new life in the Eastern region of Bolganio, pursued him there. Meeting with Sateriasis again in EC 136, Irina learned more about what had transpired during the incident and how Sateriasis was being pursued by the mage E.L, so she could steal his body and its unique prophetic dream power. Irina offered to swap bodies with the man, explaining that it would deprive E.L. of her reason for pursuing him and let Sateriasis live a normal life. Sateriasis accepted and Irina performed the swap. After seeing Sateriasis reconnect with his confused child, the sorceress found no signs of the baby having HER and left.
In EC 138, Irina met with Cherubim Glassred and, mistaken for Sateriasis, decided not to explain the situation and go along with the act. During their conversation, Irina learned what had happened to Cherubim after the incident and convinced him to explain her connection to Duchess Venomania as Gumila. Afterwards, Irina witnessed his servant, Carol Shields, questioned Cherubim about whether the former's attempt to destroy his engagement with the real Gumina was because he loved Gumila. Hearing no answer, Irina left.
Soon after, she learned that Yufina had started a movement with Karchess to overthrow Marlon and establish a "legitimate" Marlon government instead. She wrote an account of what she had learned in the past two years and her plans to leave Elphegort in pursuit of Yufina. Sometime after failing to acquire the Golden Key from the Marlon Royal Family, Irina reported everything she had learned to Held. Hearing about a Count Kaino married to the lady of Calgaround in later years, the mage assumed he was a different person.
Disappearance of Conchita[]
Over the years, the Emperor appealed several times for Irina to serve the imperial family, but she had never accepted. In EC 324, Irina received the alleged Twin Blades of Levianta from the Levin Church in the Lucifenia region of Beelzenia, although the swords she was given turned out to be fake. She nonetheless took the blades to an inn in Rolled and kept them by her side; having had a prophetic dream of the "Phantom Thief Platonic" attempting to steal the blades by bribing the innkeeper so she could put a sleeping drug in her tea, Irina easily evaded the trick and that night only pretended to sleep.
Once Platonic had entered her room and tried to take the swords, Irina grabbed him by the arm and took him by surprise, quickly revealing how she'd learned of his theft beforehand. Noting Platonic's resemblance to Adam Moonlit, she interrogated Platonic on his heritage and determined that she was a descendant of Kaino Greeonio. Then, after failing to learn who his employer was, Irina revealed how the twin blades were a fake and her plans to make use of Platonic's talents.
With Platonic in tow, Irina forced the thief to work for her and kept him magically bound to prevent him escape. She additionally tried several times to teach him simple spells, but the training failed each time. The mage decided to bring up the recent events with Held and, after placing a capture spell on the thief, left him in their residence en route to Held's Forest.
Irina met with the tree and explained what had happened with the Twin Blades, complaining bitterly about her failures thus far. Held seemed unconcerned with her problems, though he warned her that the Magic Kingdom had been rebuilt, despite Irina's lack of concern about the matter. They then ended up discussing the matter of her "hired" servant, Irina noting his inability to learn magic and his unexplained resemblance to both Kaino and Adam. Held again brushed off her concerns as a coincidence. They continued to talk until Irina, upon a comment from Held, realized she hadn't left Platonic any food and ran back to rectify the issue.
In July of EC 325, while staying in Lucifenia, Irina and Platonic were captured and brought to the Beelzenian capital of Rucolebeni to have an audience with Empress Juno Beelzenia. Although vexed by her treatment, Irina nonetheless explained to Empress Juno why she had Platonic in her employ, brushing off Juno's protestations that she should have turned Platonic in to the proper authorities after capture. She additionally claimed to wanting to keep Platonic around because of how "cute" he looked. Empress Juno then revealed the reason she'd had Irina brought to her: to investigate Carlos Conchita's apostasy and supposed cannibalism.
Once again suspecting the involvement of a vessel of sin, Irina agreed to help investigate; seeing Platonic's use, Irina bartered for her exoneration in exchange for aiding her investigation. In August, they reached the city of Re Tasan and were brought to its mayor, who explained how governance over the Conchita region had broken down. They were then brought to an undead soldier that had been captured and housed in their jail. Platonic confirmed it was the same kind of creature that attacked him, leading Irina to realize that he had infiltrated the Conchita Mansion before.
Convincing the mayor to open the cell up, Irina used a spell to commune with the undead monster. He revealed himself as the Conchita Family's chamberlain, Ron Grapple, explaining how a demon possessing a red wine glass was the cause of Carlos's reanimated army. After begging Irina to help save Carlos and his son by taking the glass, Ron completely fell apart. Afterwards, the sorceress determined they needed to investigate Carlos's mansion. As Platonic tried to play ignorant about the glass, Irina realized Platonic had likely gone to the mansion to steal it and began to suspect her mysterious client was someone else seeking the vessels of sin. She resolved to go to the mansion with Platonic, threatening him into compliance when he protested.
Arriving at Gasto by August, the pair entered the tavern and met the minstrel Xenos Jaakko, learning from him that the corpse soldiers had completely disappeared and that the mansion appeared empty. As Xenos then started to sing to them, the two ignored him and left the bar, discussing the odd information he shared. Irina then resolved to go to the mansion immediately, forcing the tired Platonic along.
Reaching the estate grounds, Irina unlocked the gate with a spell and the two entered to find the mansion and grounds seemingly deserted. After discussing the possibility that everyone had fled, they discovered Murara, Arte's undead pet pig. As the pig crumbled to bones, Irina determined that whatever power raised the undead soldiers was gone, and continued on expecting to find Carlos's corpse. Instead, upon entering Carlos's room the two discovered a baby lying on a plate next to the bloody wine glass.
They collected the baby and the wine glass; upon their return, Irina handed the baby over to Empress Juno and reported that Carlos had vanished without a trace. During this time, Platonic managed to outwit Irina and escape with the wine glass. Around the turn of 5th century EC, Irina became acquainted with Will Jaakko; for his research, she elaborated on what she knew of Carlos, the Glass, and the Seven Deadly Sins.
Three Heroes[]
During Beelzenia's war with the Kingdom of Lucifenia, Irina served the Emperor as a staff officer, becoming known as "The Witch of Beelzenia" during the conflict. Around that time, Irina met Prim Rogzé. Sensing her great magical potential, the mage began instructing the fascinated woman in basic magical arts, though the noble departed for Marlon before her training was complete.
In EC 478, Irina hired Gast Venom to act as her escort while she traveled. During their time together, Irina told him about the Seven Deadly Sins, including the Venom Sword. Around EC 480, the Beelzenian Emperor's son tried to pursue a relationship with her, which she rejected. Soon after, she and Gast came up against Lucifenia's executive officers, Leonhart Avadonia and Mariam Phutapie, in battle. Summoning a windstorm, Irina blew their weapons away and defeated the two. She was afterwards confronted by King Arth I on the battlefield and refused to fight him, instead fleeing into the Millennium Tree Forest.
A week later, she met with King Arth and Queen Anne, along with Leonhart and Mariam, at the Sanosun Bridge. Arth invited her to join him and serve by his side; Irina agreed to the deal and pledged her loyalty to the Lucifenian King, defecting to Lucifenia. Afterwards, she battled her former comrade, Gast, both surviving the exchange.
Becoming involved in numerous conflicts as part of Lucifenia's military expansion, the sorceress became close friends with Arth, his wife Anne, and her comrades, Leonhart and Mariam. Around this time, she met the local blacksmith Langley and visited him whenever she needed her weapons repaired. By EC 490, they were regarded as the Three Heroes due to their wartime exploits together.
Twiright Prank[]
In EC 491, not long after the death of King Arth, Queen Anne went to Irina for advice over the strange behavior of her son, Alexiel, fearing he was affected by magic or a demon. Learning about his seemly new poor behavior and sudden interest in becoming the heir, the mage suspected Minister Presi Rogzé was plotting something, using his claim that Riliane, was the actual successor in Arth's will. Anne affirmed she'd have Mariam investigate and Irina awaited her friend's results.
After a failed assassination attempt on Prince Alexiel, the court mage rushed to Prime Minister Genesia's quarters, certain Presi was involved. When she arrived, she discovered Genesia's lifeless body, alongside Presi and Alexiel, the prince in the process of eating hare meat. Irina accused Presi of killing Genesia, which the minister admitted to, saying he poisoned him.
Soon into the confrontation, Irina learned that Presi was borrowing power from the Demon of Sin possessing her. The sorceress prepared to fight him, but was overwhelmed by his demonic power during the fight. Before he could deal the final blow, Mariam intervened to save Irina. Fighting together, the two defeated and killed Presi and the court mage sealed the demon inside the hand mirror it came from, unintentionally removing Alexiel's memories of his twin sister as a side effect.
Later, Irina attended a meeting with Mariam and Leonhart as the two discussed the new developments in their lives, while she, disinterested, read a book. While the number of wars during Queen Anne's rule decreased, Irina continued to work for the queen.
Fateful Days[]
After Queen Anne's death in EC 499, Irina attended her friend and ruler's funeral alongside Mariam and the weeping Prince Alexiel. The sorceress cried in private over her friend's demise. Later, Irina attended an assembly of ministers and the Princess in the Hall of Sounds. When Aelxiel stood at the meeting and proclaimed it was his birthright to govern the nation, the mage noticed he was once again possessed by a Demon of Sin, more deeply rooted than before.
Once the conference ended, Irina met with Mariam and Leonhart and discussed the country's new political situation, and what they were planning to do about it now. After some debate, they ended up deciding to go with the original plan of enlisting Riliane, now Rinne, as a servant in the palace, and otherwise respecting Alexiel's rule as prince. After some more banter, the mage retired to her room, ostensibly to sleep. That night, she received a prophetic dream of the Prince being executed, the royal palace assaulted, Elphegort invaded, and Mariam lying dead in the Heavenly Yard.
Considering both Arth and Anne's deaths, the mage resolved to continue her original mission for the vessels of sin. The next day, Irina met with Mariam in the Hall of Mirrors, informing her after pretending to attack with her with a toy dagger that she intended to leave Lucifenia soon, now that Anne and Arth were dead. Mariam pleaded with her to stay, and Irina was swayed enough to train a new court mage to master magic for the Kingdom within two or three years.
Before the conversation could go much farther, the two were interrupted by Nathan, relaying Leonhart's message for the head maid to look at the new servant girl. After Mariam left, so did Irina, telling Prime Minister Minis Stoup that she was heading for Elphegort to receive an apprentice.
The Apprentice[]
Irina met with Held in the Millennium Tree Forest to request permission incarnate one of his forest spirits as a human to help her prevent Lucifenia's destruction, telling him about Alexiel's possession and her inability to exorcise him. In order to cast the Clockwork Secret Art, she would need an apprentice. In light of Held's doubts and some further discussion of how the demon could have possessed Alexiel, Elluka bemoaned her failures in the cases of Venomania and Conchita, and her resolution to avert the disaster she saw in her prophetic dream.
Held remained calm and indecisive on assisting even as Irina became increasingly frustrated, eventually falling asleep, to her great rage. As she attacked his trunk, she was hit from behind with pome fruit turning to find defensive Kyle and Gumillia in their animal spirit forms. After a brief discussion with them, Irina considering them as apprentice candidates, she left. On the way back she spotted a girl on the way back, noticing her poor state but ultimately deciding to ignore it, returning to the palace before it got dark.
While walking in the halls Mariam met with Irina and discussed her trip to Elphegort, Elluka admitting she hadn't yet found a disciple. After a brief lecture from Mariam on keeping her identity secret, Irina inquired on how Rinne was getting along with Alexiel. Mariam's explanation was soon interrupted by the twins themselves playing, Alexiel soon manage to catch rinne before tackling her. Elluka watched the following exchange between the two and Mariam.
After the two left, the conversation soon shifted from Alexiel's troubling behavior to his and Rinne's resemblance, with Irina reassuring Mariam that she would convince anyone who noticed that it was a coincidence. Remembering the Netsuma girl she had seen earlier in the forest, Irina asked about the race's persecution in Elphegort, Mariam confirming it was still ongoing. The two engaged in light banter for the rest of the conversation.
About two weeks later, Irina returned to the Millennium Tree Forest in time to hear Held giving Kyle a lecture on how spirits and gods should remain uninvolved in human affairs. After a brief disagreement on that matter, Irina pressed Held for a response on her request, seething when it became clear he no longer remembered their conversation. Once she had calmed down, she said she felt another vessel of sin in Elphegort, and after a long moment of silence Held agreed to give her two spirits: one to train as her apprentice and the other to search for the sin fragment in Elphegort.
Settling for taking Gumillia and Kyle, and agreeing to return them to their spirit forms after three years, Irina took the two spirits west to incarnate them in the forms of their choosing, with the stipulation that they be a Elphe female and a handsome male, preferably the image of someone who was not alive anymore. After the ritual was complete, Irina found an abandoned house in the Lost Woods and sheltered the three of them there to practice their magic and learn the basics about being human. She trained the two and occasionally returned to the palace before coming back.
Once she was satisfied with their level of knowledge after three months of training, she tasked Kyle with locating the vessel in Elphegort, potentially in the hands of King Thorny Elphen, Duke Parkage Meld, or Keel Freezis, and left for Lucifenia with Gumillia in tow.
During their journey through the forest, Gumillia explained her severe farsightedness in comparison to her time as a chipmunk. Though largely unconcerned with the range difference, Irina reluctantly conjured a pair of glasses for her, though with the caveat that she only use them when needed as she thought them unsightly.
Reign of Evil[]
Admitting her apprentice to the palace, Irina began training her magical talent in preparation for teaching the girl the Clockwork Secret Art; during that time, the sorceress told Gumillia what she had learned about the Glass of Conchita and its powers. Around that time, she overheard several of the ministers discuss Aelxiel and Rinne's resemblance. Pulling her influence as a wise prophet, the mage told them that there were always three people in the world that looked alike, hence their resemblance to one another. Around the same time, she began giving Rinne healing ointment that she made.
In EC 500, she attended Leonhart's funeral after he was assassinated, though only to call him an idiot to his gravestone. About nine months since training them, Irina received the sign from Kyle that she located a vessel of sin. Since Rinne was heading into Elphegort, she ordered Gumillia to give the servant the Very Amazing Green Onion to give to Kyle.
Later that night, the sorceress contacted kyle through the Very Amazing Green Onion. Hearing kyle's report, Irina learned that she had found Keel Freezis was in possession of the Venom Sword while she was working for him and that Gast Venom was plotting to obtain it. She told Kyle to watch the vessel in case it would cause trouble in the future, as well as explaining Gast's purpose for searching for the sword. When Kyle asked about Gumillia, the court mage told her she would be able to use the Clockwork Secret Art within the next six months. As their signal began to fade, Irina reminded her disciple to contact her if something serious occurred and to remain there and relax.
The next day, Irina attended the conference in the palace's Hall of Sounds regarding the diplomatic missions to Marlon and Elphegort. As the minister's discussions of Rinne's report began to drag, Irina summarized that they needed to carefully watch Keel Freezis and not let their guard down, congratulating Rinne for her surprising good work due knowing Rinne doesn't like to write report. When Minis brought in Queen Dowager Prim's gift later on, Irina was dazzled by the sight of a baby ziz tiama and identified it as a "Very Amazing Octopus".
At the behest of the unintrested Alexiel, Irina took the gift and held it in its glass container. After hearing Minis reveal that Queen Michaela withdrew her engagement to Alexiel in favor of a blue-haired boy she met, the sorceress asked in disbelief if Michaela's mother actually agreed to the decision. Minis answered that the Queen Dowager decided to respect her daughter's decision without giving her personal opinion.
Several days later, Irina was in Alexiel's room when Mariam returned from Elphegort to report any discoveries on the identity of Michaela's secret lover. Hearing that Mariam remained clueless, Irina added that they only knew that he was a "blue-haired girl" and that there's a lot of blue hair male in Elphegort matched that profile. This led to Alexiel ordering Minis to invade Elphegort and slaughter its population of blue-haired men.
When Alexiel ordered the Prime Minister to burn the Lost Woods for the invasion, Irina objected on Held's behalf. For her disagreements with the order, Alexiel stay quite but it's quite obvious he is plotting for her death. The furious court mage immediately resigned, and despite Mariam's repeated pleas to not leave she persisted, suggesting she may even leave for the Eastern countries. Irina then noticed Rinne was watching them, and revealed to her her prediction of Lucifenia's inevitable demise. When she asserted that she would be staying with Alexiel, she told her to take care of her brother and bade a fond farewell to Mariam, leaving for good.
Blue Hunting[]
Leaving the palace with Gumillia, Irina headed to the Lost Woods. With the help of her apprentice, Irina used the Very Amazing Octopus she received to conjure a rainstorm to douse the fires burning the woods. The two left after seeing the Lucifenian soldiers retreat back to the palace and headed deeper among the trees. As they were congratulating, Germaine Avadonia suddenly approached her. The daughter of Leonhart offered the two shelter at her home, but the mage refused, since they were being hunted by the Lucifenian army. With that, Irina and her apprentice disappeared into the forest's depths.
The sorceress then contacted Kyle through the Very Amazing Green Onion, telling him to escape from Elphegort as her dreams were coming true. After Irina had explained the situation, Kyle told her about how he was the "lover" that began the whole mess. Anxious, Irina told him he needed to escape, being Alexiel's target, and reassuring him that she and Gumillia would try to curb the casualties until Lucifenia would fall by her predicted revolution. She ordered Kyle to head north of the city of Aceid, to Nemu, a place where she could use magic to cast a reincarnation spell to return to her forest spirit form. When Kyle refused, the mage ranted how he, Alexiel, Michaela, Rinne, and Leonhart were all fools and that everyone was an idiot.
Irina was further aggrieved when she overheard Gumillia tell Kyle she too didn't want to return to her spirit form. After learning about Kyle's hiding place in a well in the Millennium Tree Forest, Irina recognized the location and told him they would meet him there once everything calmed down.
She and Gumillia went to Keel Freezis' mansion only to find it burned down. They infiltrated the nearby barracks to retrieve the Venom Sword but discovered the vessel of sin was missing and collected the rest of his property instead. After a short rest, they headed to Kyle's hiding spot. However, they arrived to find Kyle dead and the weeping Queen Michaela instead.
Around that time, Irina noticed Michaela had been possessed by the Demon of Lust. After the Queen left, they retrieved Kyle's body and then witnessed it become tree saplings. Astonished, they visited Held and confronted him about the issue. They then learned that Kyle was chosen by the earth god to succeed him as the Millennium Tree. Angered, the sorceress argued with him before the deity spoke with Gumillia and returned to his slumber.
Refuge[]
During the Lucifenian Revolution, the two traveled to the Freezis Mansion in Marlon to explain what had occurred to Keel. The merchant, surprised by the revelation about Kyle, told them to give the sapling to Clarith. The two women revealed they managed to recover Keel's property from his burned-down mansion and, after some negotiation, returned them to him. Grateful, the merchant abided Irina's request to hide them from Lucifenia and give her the Venom Sword. While there, Irina sealed the Venom Sword, noting its magic felt weak, and was surprised to see Keel's wife, Mikina, there.
After hiding out for some time during EC 501, the two returned to Lucifenia once The Son of Evil was executed and traveled to the Held Monastery in Elphegort in search for Clarith. Finding her at the monastery, Irinaapproached the white-haired girl and introduced herself and Gumillia before offering her Kyle's sapling, telling her the whole truth about Kyle as a spirit and his transformation into a sapling, over tea.
She described how they found Kyle's body and commented that she believed Michaela also contributed to her death and explained how he was chosen as the next guardian of the world by Held. Then she told her what Keel told them and that Gumillia was reluctant to hand him over to the white-haired girl. After a short silence between the master and apprentice, Irina said they would let Kyle decide, having Gumillia to conjure a manifestation of Kyle's human form from the sapling for Clarith and her to see. Kyle chose Clarith, and Irina departed with Gumillia.
About a week later, Irina and Gumillia returned to check on Clarith. They secretly observed that Alexiel was with her, but decided to leave the situation alone, concluding that Alexiel should no longer be affected by the Demon of Pride. Proud to have acquired the vessel of Lust, Irina decided to head to the East with her apprentice in search for the vessels of sin and the two stopped in an inn in Asmodean.
While there, she examined the sword and realized the Demon of Lust was absent from the weapon. Infuriated, she tore off the seal before flinging the blade. In her frustration, she came to the revelation that the Demon of Pride was absent from its vessel as well, she collapsed to the ground, distraught and telling her apprentice that the demon had vanished, even though she was certain it was inside the mirror when she sealed it.
Gumillia asked if it was possible for the demons to disappear from their vessels and Irina denied it, saying their original bodies remained in the vessel even if they possessed humans. After the shocked sorceress sat motionless for a short while, she stood up, began packing her luggage, and told Gumillia their trip to the East was cancelled until they figured out what happened to the demons.
Witch Hunt[]
Gumillia and Irina returned to Lucifenia to spy for information. As part of their search, Irina had them pursue Queen Michaela since she had been possessed by the Demon of Lust during their last meeting. With the Queen annexing Lucifenia as part of Marlon, Irina and Gumillia infiltrated the royal palace where she resided and learned the Demon of Lust was gone and she had since been possessed by the Demon of Pride.
Once they found that Michaela owned another one of the hand mirrors for the vessel, they attempted to steal it that night from her bedroom. In the midst of their theft, the Queen awoke and discovered their actions. Forced to flee, the two lost possession of the Venom Sword during their escape; they were later added to the "Witch Hunt" decreed by Queen Michaela. Suspicious that Michaela's two consecutive possessions weren't simply a coincidence, Irina decided to investigate Queen Dowager Prim.
In EC 502, the two traveled to the Marlon as part of their investigation. While attempting to find Prim at Marlon Castle, they were instead ambushed by the Special Maneuvers Task Force and the sorceress Abyss E.L. Not expecting there to be other powerful mages left, Irina was unprepared and was quickly defeated by Abyss in battle. As her body was taken by the sorceress, Irina used the Swap Technique to place her soul in Gumillia's body as she fled.
Reunited with the Apprentice[]
In EC 505, when Abyss E.L. attempted to take Gumillia's body as well, Irina's wrestled control of her body from the sorceress, causing both women to faint. Germaine then attempted to slay the incapacitated Irina but Gumillia stopped her, explaining that it was Irina inside her proper body again.
After Gumillia fainted from exhaustion, Irina followed Germaine and Yukina as they took the apprentice to her room. Irina explained to Yukina how the Demon of Lust had been missing from the Venom Sword, how she had gone to the Lucifenian Royal Palace to find the Demon of Lust in Michaela. However, the demon possessing her at the time had been Demon of Pride, the Lust demon having left by that point; this led to Michaela's overconfidence in starting wars with other countries.
Irina told Yukina that someone else must have been the cause of Michaela's possession, and explained how she and Gumillia had gone to Marlon to investigate Prim, only for her to be captured by Abyss E.L. and the Special Maneuvers Task Force and escape using the Swap Technique on Gumillia. When Yukina asked who Abyss E.L. was Irina stated she didn't know, having blown her soul away already.
The mage mused that Abyss could've been one of the "Ma"s of 500 years ago since she also seemed to have the swap technique; She then stopped, seeing the Pink Rabbit from the battle hop into the room. After some questions of ownership, Irina ended up handing it off to be adopted by Mikina, who had entered soon after. Irina remained in the mansion with the others for the time being, staying in Gumillia's room.
Battle of Castle Hedgehog[]
While drinking black tea with Gumillia in her room, Germaine came in with Michaela Marlon and the sorceress introduced herself. After sipping her tea in her seat, she explained what had happened to her to the Queen. There was some slight contention by Irina over Michaela's actions towards her and Gumillia when he was possessed, she soon changed the subject to corpse soldiers who were sighted up north and that Prim and Nathan both seemed to be at Castle Hedgehog, hence why she planned to soon march her armies upon the castle. Though requesting her assistance in the invasion, Irina told her she and her apprentice would need time to recover from their fight. She then informed her that on the upcoming new moon, the dead soldiers would be at their weakest.
After the King haggled for Germaine's support, Michaela thanked Irina for the advice and began to leave when Gumillia offered to enchant the weapons of the Queen's soldiers. Though Irina was somewhat put out by her cooperation, Gumillia reminded her of the need to obtain the Glass of Conchita, which was in Nathan's possession. When Gumillia brought out two of the vessel of Pride's mirrors, irina added that Prim may still have the last piece, reaffirming the importance of sealing both the glass and the mirrors to neutralize the demons inside. Irina finally agreed to cooperate, though adding that she and Gumillia wouldn't have a very large role.
Over the next few days, Gumillia and Irina engraved enchantments into all the soldiers' weapons to help them combat the supernatural threat. Around that time, Irina advised the attack during the day and that taking the Glass of Conchita from Nathan would likely shut down the corpse soldiers. Having not yet given out all the provisions to the troops, the two mages traveled with the army to Lioness and helped oversee the reapportioning of the weapons in the main square. While Michaela oversaw the event with her, Irina stated she'd flee immediately if the town became a battlefield, as she was weak without her magic. She also added a more powerful enchantment to Chartette's rocket glove, which Michaela had with her.
During the battle across the Blood Pool Region, the mages remained at Lioness Castle to avoid the undead soldiers while in their weakened state. After the battle, Irina met with Michaela, Keel, Yukina, Germaine, and Gumillia in one of the castle's bedrooms while the Marlon Queen explained what had transpired with Queen Dowager Prim and Nathan. Afterward, Michaela presented the Glass, hand mirrors, and doll vessel that Prim had said was modeled after the husband of the "Original Sinner".
Irina had Gumillia take out the vessels they had, noting they now had four vessels, though still not sure what had happened to the Venom Sword's demon. Though Michaela requested the sword back, Irina refused, and furthermore explained she had already put a simple sealing spell on them. Germaine interrupted that they still had to decide what to do with Nathan, who was present but unconscious.
There was some debate over the matter, Yukina wanting to tell Nathan the truth, Irina wanting to discard him, and Germaine wanting to hear Nathan admit he'd killed Kyle and apologize. Irina eventually agreed with the others, then explained they'd need to return to Bariti and prepare first, commanding Gumillia to collect the vessels.
The group then heard a sound outside the room. When Keel went to examine, they heard him talking to someone outside the room before being swiftly interrupted by a dull sound. When the door opened and the room was filled with a flash of blue light,Irina saw a masked woman in the doorway before being rendered unconscious.
Once she and the others awoke, they discovered the vessels of sin missing, Keel seriously injured, and Nathan dead. Irina was then taken to another room to check if she needed treatment. Furious that the vessels of sin slipped from her grasp again, the purple-haired sorceress recalled what she saw, realizing Abyss E.L. had actually been the pink rabbit she always had with her and that she had taken possession of the missing Mikina to steal the vessels of sin.
Irina spent the next two weeks searching for the perpetrator with Gumillia and Germaine. During the period, she shared what she concluded with her two compatriots. Irina then determined the fugitive mage would've most likely fled to the nearby Lucifenia, given Marlon's embargo on Elphegort and the other nation's wide distance from the nation.
Irina then requested Germaine search the Lucifenia territory for Abyss and the swordswoman agreed. While sending Gumillia to search for her in Levianta, Irina continued her search in Marlon. After Germaine successfully defeated Abyss E.L. and freed Mikina, Gumillia and Irina collected and sealed the Glass of Conchita and Marlon Spoon in her possession.
Voyage East and West[]
In EC 508, both Irina and her disciple became involved in the Four Horsemen Incident caused by Neo Apocalypse and Abyss E.L. Around that time, Irina lost the Glass of Conchita to the villainous sorceress. Sometime after EC 531, Irina met with Shaw Freezis and he agreed that Irina was allowed to freely utilize the wealth and power of the Freezis Foundation, forging a contract. In EC 548, Irina and Gumillia began their journey East in pursuit of the Twin Blades of Levianta.
In EC 549, they came upon a large wall blocking their path, and a watchman who refused to let them enter on the grounds that the king had mandated that none except their own people were allowed to pass through the gates. Following the refusal, Irina and Gumillia made repeated attempts to make their way inside by disguising themselves as the people of the nation. When they were discovered for a third time, Irina lost her temper. Conjuring a powerful wind, the sorceress blew the watchman away and opened the gates with Gumillia. They were both bewildered to find nothing on the other side.
Soon after, they came upon a vast ocean. The two later took a small boat across the sea to Jakoku. The two were then reunited with Chartette Langley and allied themselves with the Tokugawa faction, taking part in the Jakoku Civil War. After failing to retrieve the Twin Blades of Levianta for years, Irina and Gumillia left Jakoku in EC 558 and returned to the West. Some time after Clarith and her monastic order, the Sisters of Clarith, erected an examinations system to protect the New Millennium Tree, Clarith gave Gumillia and Irina permits to freely enter the Millennium Tree Forest.
Investigative Journalist[]
Some time later, Irina was approached by Shaw. Terrified at the prospect of growing older and dying, Shaw begged the sorceress to give him the secret to immortality, though she refused. Later on, she discovered that Kyle had used her power to extend Shaw's lifespan in violation of Held's rules not to interfere with humans; as a result, she quarreled with the god.
During the late sixth century EC, Irina decided to disappear from the public eye due to her legendary status becoming more of a problem. She and Gumillia chose to masquerade as Shaw's deceased great-grandchildren, Han and Heidemarie Lorre with his approval. They used the resources and power at his disposal to assist in their quest to collect the vessels.
In order to maintain her disguise, Irina regularly dyed her hair green and used a spell to change her eye color to match. With Shaw's influence, Han became an investigative journalist for the Schuburg Newspaper Company in Aceid, Elphegort, suspending contact with his "sister" for prolonged periods of time.
During this time she also became acquainted with Shaw's grandson, Dashaw Freezis, their friendship soon leading to Dashaw developing feelings for her. Around the same time, Han became acquainted with Shaw's aide Bruno Marlon. Over the course of her newspaper work, Han met and became close friends with Constable Ayn Anchor, telling him stories of legendary heroes such as Leonhart Avadonia.
In EC 597, Han attended a business meeting with Dashaw in the town of Lioness. During the event, the town was suddenly swept up in flames. Oblivious to the approaching fires around her, Han was pushed out of the way by Dashaw and watched as her friend burned alive. Learning the perpetrator was allegedly the famed "Irina Clockworker", Irina stuck to her Han persona while she and Shaw searched for her impersonator randomly causing trouble. In EC 608, Hanne visited her fake great-grandfather for a time before returning to Elphegort.
Uncovering the Past[]
Around EC 609, Han discovered the memoirs of Yukina Freezis and read through her entries. While reading Yukina's accounts of visiting Calgaround while the mages had been journeying East, she became fixated on on her mention of the Flower of the Plateau and its importance for Irina. After discovering the original manuscript of Yukina's "Flower of the Plateau" fairy tale was missing, Han decided to investigate further under the pretense of writing an article about the tale for the Schuburg paper.
Afterwards, the reporter arranged a meeting with the mayor of Calgaround, Julia Abelard, on August 31 of that year. On the appointed day, Han called upon a carriage to take her to the town, viewing the scenery and plantations outside her window as the coachman brought her there. As they approached the city, Han noted with shock the bright red of all its buildings.
After entering into the city, Han quickly located Julia Abelard for her interview, learning during the initial small talk that the red buildings were to show reverence to the "Virgin Mother," Meta Salmhofer, revealing to the surprised reporter the town's heretical status. Eager to change the subject, Han asked about the history of the town, though learning no new information from Julia's following lecture. She then followed up with an inquiry about Mikulia Calgaround and the Flower of the Plateau story, Yukina Freezis' manuscript on said anecdote having disappeared.
Julia asked beforehand how much Han knew, and the reporter shared with her the contents of Yukina's journal on her visit to Calgaround with Michaela, and said author's plans to write the story due to the shocking things they learned there. Satisfied, Julia brought out Hermann Bälz's account of the history of Calgaround, and shared the entries for Gilma and Kaino Calgaround, noting rumors that Gilma's early death from illness was really murder. When questioned, she clarified that the Flower of the Plateau was about both Kaino's supposed involvement in her death, as well as two others who risked ruining his reputation.
Julia relayed that Kaino was beautiful and loved by the people, supposedly a flower vendor; however, due to him being an outsider, rumors began to spread, sparked by the discovery of two skeletons at the bottom of a well in his mansion after his death. Han questioned how Kaino may have murdered the two and Julia related the medicinal qualities of greeonian plateau roses' roots as a sleeping medicine, called "Gift". In high enough doses, it could kill.
After further discussion did not turn up any further information, Han prepared to leave, thanking Julia for her story. Before she could leave, however, the mayor suddenly remembered the library, suggesting she visit both to see a portrait of Kaino and Gilma painted by Minister Cherubim Glassred and possibly find older documents that might be able to shed more light on the tale. Intrigued, Han decided to take her up on her offer.
Walking to the library, Han noticed no one there at the reception desk and quietly entered on her own, searching and eventually finding the portrait of Gilma and Kaino. Startled by the young man's appearance, Han stared at the picture until she was greeted by the librarian, who was wearing a cloth around his head and face. After a quick introduction, he invited her to check the old vaults for information while he cleaned.
After briefly searching for books from four hundred years ago, Han examined books from the fourth century EC onward and discovered "Evillious Travels" by Xenos Jaakko, reading of the minstrel's encounters with the Phantom Thief Platonic, the son of a noble in Calgaround, and noting the thief's description. After fruitlessly searching for more books on Platonic, Han walked to the reception desk.
Walking behind the desk, the reporter spotted a yellowed book under the counter. Recognizing the original manuscript of "The Flower of the Plateau," Han picked up the book; kicking open the door, she grabbed the librarian by the collar and demanded to know why it was there. When the librarian played dumb, she snapped that books on the Freezis Foundation's Lost List had to be turned over to the Foundation immediately upon discovery. Upon continued sputtering on his end, she threatened to report him to the World Police.
Intimidated by her threats, the man admitted he had gotten the book from Père Noël. Agreeing to leave his involvement out of it if he told her more, Han listened as the librarian explained he bought the book from a masked green-haired woman in Toragay claiming to be the leader of Père Noël. The reporter stood contemplating this before the librarian ran from her, and she watched him escape through the window. Deciding not to pursue him, Hae returned to the coachman and confirmed she was leaving, explaining that she was headed to Toragay.
Toragay Epidemic[]
Arriving at Toragay, Han checked into the town's local inn. Learning of Marchioness Margarita Blankenheim's recent death after attempting to visit her, Han met with her father, Dr. Marx Felix, discussing the circumstances of Margarita's death. She then investigated Margarita's connection to Père Noël for two days.
After returning to the Schuburg Newspaper headquarters in Aceid, the company's president gave Hanne a summon to go to the Freezis Foundation headquarters. Visiting Shaw, she learned from the old man that Père Noël was led by a woman, and that someone using the name Irina Clockworker had visited Toragay. Shaw then allowed her full use of Foundation resources.
Continuing to investigate the case over the next two weeks, Han returned to Toragay. She met with constable Ayn Anchor and discussed how the investigation by the World Police was halted due to pressure from the Freezis Foundation. After inspiring Ayn to crack down on Toragay's black market, Hanne was directed by Ayn to the doctor who performed Margarita's autopsy, Puerick Rogzé.
Discovering Marx in critical condition while visiting the Felix manor, Han later met with Puerick in Lucifenia, discussing the possible causes of Margarita's death and Marx's illness. Eventually talking about the poison Gift and its history, Han later returned to Toragay and attended Margarita's funeral. Seeing Margarita's husband Kaspar, Han was reminded of his resemblance to Kaino and burst into laughter, thrown out of the funeral ceremony.
Given an update by Ayn two weeks later, Han decided to investigate Kaspar, visiting him at the Blankenheim Mansion under the pretense of writing a feature about Margarita. Interviewing him, Han learned that the couple's finances had been dwindling due to Margarita's indulgent spending habits and that Margarita had started a new business with Kaspar's friend "Irina". Touring the mansion, Han discussed the history of Irina Clockworker with Kaspar. After Kaspar directed her to a charity institute, Han discussed with him Dr. Felix and his sleeplessness.
Visiting the charity institute, Han met with the director, Rita Flohn, the two discussing the seemingly miraculous circumstances of Kaspar's birth, as well as his marriage and sleeplessness. Learning that Kaspar had been seen with a woman in red clothes like Julia's, Han was given a red liquid the woman left behind. Sleeping at the inn, Han was awoken by commotion and hid, only to find Heidemarie pursuing the kidnapper of the idol Lemy kun.
Consulting with Puerick about the red liquid, Han was told by Puerick that he wasn't sure if the poison was a separate component or the result of the blood rotting. Han then speculated that the blood was put in to mask the poison, suspecting a Demon of Sin. Discussing Margarita and Dr. Felix's autopsies, she concluded that Kaspar had used them to refine her poison. Preparing to return to Toragay, Han was stopped by several men in black, told that Shaw had died.
Accompanied by Heidemarie, Han attended Shaw's funeral before his aide Bruno Marlon announced he was arresting them for the Lioness Burning Incident and Toragay Charity Institute poisonings respectively using the temporary power granted to him by the Foundation. Subdued by the Interrogation Execution Department, Han asked Bruno why and was told he'd be granted a position in Père Noël if he eliminated them.
Thrown into prison at the World Police Headquarters, Han and Heidemarie discussed Kaspar's inexplicable role in the poisoning at the Charity Institute. Announcing that they no longer needed to use their false identities with Shaw dead, Han prepared to escape with Heidemarie before Ayn and Hob Homer arrived, unlocking their cells and giving them updates on the ongoing Toragay Epidemic. Learning that the "disease" had spread and that the town had been quarantined, Han knocked out Ayn shortly after Heidemarie did the same to Hob.
Changing back into their mage attire, Irina and Gumillia rushed to the hospital where Marx was being treated. Learning that Kaspar had left seeking his friend masquerading as Irina, Irina determined that Kaspar had gone to Calgaround, the new location of Père Noël's black market. Preparing to leave, the two witnessed Dr. Felix suddenly wake up from his coma and rant about deception and the involvement of a Doll before dying.
Discussing the implication of his words, the duo made their way to Toragay, blocked by the World Police's quarantine. Seeing their old coachman try to get through to his mother before the police began to arrest him, the two intervened. Having the coachman bring them to Calgaround, the two entered the mayor's mansion, greeted by Julia.
Speaking with them about Kaspar and Gift, Julia was asked about Fifth Pierrot's whereabouts, replying that she had fled, but that they could rescue Lemy kun in the basement if they could defeat her. Realizing "Julia" didn't have a pink rabbit with her, Irina heard her reintroduce herself as Fourth Shadow. The three battled, eventually coming outside to the garden. After Gumillia killed Fourth Shadow using her Greeonian plateau roses, she and Irina went upstairs to the mansion's second floor, seeing Kaspar attempt suicide. Although trying to save him, the two failed and Kaspar seemingly passed away.
As they found Lemy kun in the basement, Irina remarked on his resemblance to Alexiel. As she discussed with Gumillia where to return her, Irina was stabbed by a hidden Sixth Venom, recognizing him as the librarian. Rushed to the hospital by Gumillia, Irina later returned to Toragay after her treatment, meeting up with Gumillia and learning that there was another "Julia Abelard", a Lucifenian aristocrat.
Soon after, the coachman, his mother Brigitta and Toragay's pharmacy owner Egmont arrived, explaining that several of the townspeople had survived by hiding in the Blankenheim Mansion's basement and drinking a makeshift antidote. Remarking on their resourcefulness, Irina asked him for the medicine's raw materials.
Irina and Gumillia then entered the Millennium Tree Forest, meeting Puerick at the New Millennium Tree and discussing with him the possibility of making an antidote both from the tree's sap and the blood of the survivors. Irina then spoke with Kyle regarding the use of his sap to aid the humans before leaving to confront Kaspar inside the abandoned Moonlit Residence.
Seeing him inside, Irina revealed her realization that "Kaspar Blankenheim" was actually the Clockworker's Doll, and that the Demon of Sloth had hypnotized everyone into believing he was the actual Kaspar Blankenheim since birth. As "Kaspar" denied that he hypnotized anyone and revealed that there originally wasn't a Demon of Sloth but a human posing as a demon instead, Irina confronted him as Adam Moonlit. Despite Adam's pleas, she absorbed Adam's soul into her body, intending to destroy it within. Afterwards, Irina returned to the Millennium Tree and head out to Lucifenia with Gumillia.
Père Noël[]
Realizing she was actually an incarnation of Levia and regaining all her memories, Irina stayed in denial and clung to her current identity. She also hypnotized Gumillia into forgetting she had absorbed Adam into her body. She and Gumillia then traveled to Lucifenia, investigating Père Noël; around this time, Irina's legs stopped functioning and she became confined to a wheelchair. Later on, the mage duo confirmed that the Rolled prostitute Yuzette Ora owned the Venom Sword and was the target of Fifth Pierrot's serial killings.
The two then took over "Isabel's" residential brothel, Irina hypnotizing everyone into thinking they were the owner and her assistant, respectively. After Fifth Pierrot successfully killed Yuzette, Irina, having witnessed the crime, assured she wouldn't speak of the crime if she let her speak with First Santa Claus. Meeting with Julia two days later, Irina claimed to be Adam possessing Irina's body, demonstrating her knowledge and powers of hypnosis. Irina and Gumillia were then recruited into Père Noël as Seventh Magician and Eighth Sniper, respectively.
Following the eruption of Julia's presidential scandal, Irina met with Fifth Pierrot, revealed to be Julia's adopted daugther Rin, and offered for her to flee with her to Jakoku before leaving her to ponder the decision. Later learning that Rin had tattled to Julia, Irina fled the brothel with Gumillia. She then had Gumillia ambush and shoot Rin in an alley, using Ayn as bait. Scorning the dying girl, Elluka left with her apprentice.
Later on, Irina received a letter from Julia, who revealed herself as Elluka and challenged her to a duel at Merrigod Plateau. Later on, Irina and Gumillia gained access to the Abelard Mansion, Elluka having gone missing and the World Police investigating Père Noël. Examining Elluka's treasury, the two confirmed that the vessels of sin were missing, Irina deciding to take up Elluka's challenge.
Duel of Merrigod Plateau[]
On January 29, Irana and Gumillia made their way to Merrigod Plateau, hiring Toragay's coachman again. The two then discussed Irina knowing Elluka's identity, Gumillia breaking her hypnosis. Blocked by Sixth Venom during the journey, Irina attempted to hypnotize him but failed, instead defeating him with Adam's lightning magic and taking Grim the End in his possession.
The two then confronted Elluka inside the tomb of Pale Noël at the plateau's Apocalypse Cliff, beginning to duel. After Rin joined the fray, Elluka explaining how she was unable to die normally as a sin contractor, the four of them were locked in a stalemate and battled for hours. After Gumillia fatally shot Rin with the transformed golden key, Irina eventually defeated Elluka. Elluka then relinquished control of Germaine's body, self-destructing her pink rabbit body and bringing Irina into Levia's inner psychological world, causing her to fully reawaken as Levia.
Legacy[]
Following Levia's reawakening and eventual Behemo fusion with Adam and Elluka into Ma, Ma continued to use Irina's identity throughout her travels in Bolganio. After Nyoze Sudou regained all his memories as both Behemo and some of Irina due Levia previous connection with the body, he retained part of Irina's personality as well, namely her love for the world and her attachment to her friends.
Personality and Traits[]
Irina was often relaxed and lackadaisical with half-opened eyes and a sensually bored expression. She usually brushed comments or situations aside and acted playful or teasing towards others to provoke them. Despite this apparent calm demeanor, she had a tendency to mood swing and acted very whimsical and capricious. Held often incited her and she usually vented her anger toward him by attacking the earth deity, earning Kyle's label as a "bully". When faced with stressful or painful situations, she tried to escape instead of face them. She also was concerned with her appearance and preferred to be associated with beautiful women. As a result, she had a distaste for glasses and demanded Gumillia only use them when they were actually looking for the vessels of sin.
Irina struggled with showing affection to others and acted superficially apathetic, blunt, and unsympathetic, insulting Leonhart at his funeral before leaving. Despite this, she cared for her friends and attempted to prevent their deaths or ease their misfortune as best she can. Irina had a strange fascination with octopi and liked milk. She also loves cats, which contrasted her sister-in-law Elluka's hatred of them.
Skills and Abilities[]
Despite never receiving any magical training, Irina was a powerful self-taught sorceress who was ranked second only to Elluka Chirclatia when surveyed for Project 'Ma'. Among her plethora of spells, Irina was able to teleport, unlock doors, levitate, sing spell songs, control animals, and grow the ziz tiama to enormous size. Her favorite spell was to cast powerful fire magic, which was even capable of severely burning someone without killing them; this was due to her being an inheritor of Salem Dunbar.
Irina was a powerful sorceress and was regarded with respect by her peers. Her power was great enough that she was able to attain the position as Lucifenia's court mage. The sorceress's most notable ability was her inherent youth and immortality. Irina also wielded Swap technique, which allowed her to swap her consciousness with that of others. When exchanging bodies, all her magical talents and abilities, such as her immortality, transferred to the new body.
After acquiring Sateriasis's body, she wielded the ability to use Purple Dream and could dream of the possible futures. Her visions showed only images that she could recognize. On top of that, her foresight's reliability was based on the "color" of the image. If the dream was "purple" then it was destined to occur and could not be changed. Her foretelling skills as Lucifenia's court mage earned her a reputation due to their flawless precision. She was a master of the reincarnation arts, capable of incarnating the spirit of any being as another entity, such as a human or an animal, after preparing the necessary ritual.
She was also powerful with cleansing magic, able to remove the Demons of Sin even when they were purposefully made difficult to exorcise. She was also capable of casting Clockworker Magic but preferred not to cast it due to its heavy risks. Irina was also skilled in using a ziz tiama octopus, able to cast a powerful rainstorm when sacrificing it, and able to grow one to an enormous size for offensive purposes. Irina also possessed a degree of skill in sewing, and would repair her own damaged clothes.
