Description
Ireena Kolyana is a striking young woman with auburn hair who has been bitten twice by Strahd. The villagers are afraid of her and avoid her. She doesn't remember her early past. She doesn't know how she came to Barovia or where she came from. Moreover, her encounters with Strahd are fuzzy memories, thanks to his vampiric charm, but she can recall clearly the blazing hunger in his eyes. Ireena Kolyana isn't the natural daughter of Kolyan Indirovich. Although Ireena never knew, Kolyan found her at the edge of the Svalich Woods near the Pillarstone of Ravenloft. She was but a girl then and seemed to have no memory of her past. Kolyan adopted her and loved her dearly. Unknownst to Ireena, she is the sister of Izek Strazni. Ireena fled after Izek was attacked by a dire wolf and became lost in the woods. She wandered for days in shock until she was found and adopted by Kolyan Indirovich in the village of Barovia. Izek covets her in an unwholesome way and won't allow anyone or anything to come between them. Ireena carries the soul of Strahd's beloved Tatyana and looks exactly like her. Strahd intends to make Ireena his bride, turn her into a vampire, and lock her away in the castle crypts for all time. Fortunately for Ireena, she can fend for herself, and there are many heroes in the world who won't let Strahd get away with it.
If Strahd captures her, he might not decide to turn Ireena into a vampire after all. Instead, he might charm her with his magic into loving him. If so, she will use this stat block while charmed.
