## Biography

### Life as Patti

Main Article: Patti Abrax.

Ireena was born in the town of Vallaki in Barovia. At some point, she was taken by Tryas Wintersbane to the city of Waterdeep, where she lived for several years under the name Patti Abrax. During this time, she got a job at the Seven Masks Theater, and began a relationship with Lucy Gremory. They lived happily for a time, until Patti was stabbed by an unknown assailant and taken to Barovia. During the process, she hit her head and got amnesia, forgetting nearly her entire life as Patti.

### The Curse of Strahd

Ireena was found outside of the village of Barovia by Burgomaster Kolyan Indrovich and his son, Ismark Kolyan. Kolyan adopted the amnesiac woman, and gave her the name Ireena. Soon after, Strahd von Zarovich discovered her, and realizing that she was the reincarnation of Tatyana, began to stalk her. He broke into the estate and drank her blood twice, prompting Kolyan to send a letter to find help from adventurers.

Soon after, Kolyan died. Unfortunately, his original letter was never delivered, but a corruption of the letter penned by Strahd found its way to The Band of Fortune. The group eventually met Ireena, with Lucy immediately realizing that she was who she recognized as Patti. After the group helped Ismark and Ireena prepare their father's funeral, Ireena began to travel with the group, though not without Strahd visiting her again to gift her flowers.

Ireena accompanied the group throughout their journey across Barovia, being present for the death of Nallia Ray. Shortly after which, Lucy told her that she knew her prior to her amnesia, but promised to not tell her anything about her life as Patti unless Ireena asked. When the group arrived in Vallaki after Nallia's death, Ireena and Lucy went on a date, which ended in her confiding in Lucy about seeing a handsome man in a pond there who called her "Tatyana."

Shortly after, Ireena learned why - upon reading the Tome of Strahd, she learned of Tatyana, a woman whom Strahd is obsessed with, who continually reincarnates. Realizing that she was the latest incarnation, she was frightened by it. Regardless, she continued to travel with the Band of Fortune to search for a way to kill Strahd, assisting them in various battles and challenges.

When the group entered Strahd's castle and agreed to have dinner with him, Ireena went despite heavy discomfort with the event. When Lucy and several of the other members of the group fell under Strahd's charm, Ireena kissed Lucy to break the charm on her. After the dinner concluded, Ireena asked to speak to Lucy in private. During the conversation, Ireena said she needed Lucy, and the two became physically intimate. After leaving Strahd's castle, Ireena continued to be a key player in the Band of Fortune.
