* **Abilities:** Irene is a creative, expert animal trainer. She was "successfully" able to get Dana to identify colors and numbers from a set of toy blocks. She also has a sly side, exploiting her subject's weaknesses in the name of "optimizing" studies.

* **Relationships:**
	+ **Dana:** Irene presents herself as cheerful to Dana, always appearing bubbly and excited to see her. If Dana passes a test, Irene will always reward her with a sardine. However, this is all a front, as Irene only wants Dana to be smart enough to be a super-soldier.
	+ **Pepper:** Pepper is Irene's boss, and Irene is never afraid to show her findings to Pepper, no matter how unbelievable.

* **Trivia:** Irene is named after Irene Pepperberg, a scientist who famously taught a parrot, Alex, to use language intelligently.
