Physical Description:
Face Claiming: Dark Souls 3 Fire Maiden/Keeper
Hair: Irene used to have beautiful black hair that would absorb all of the light that shined upon it like an endless black hole. Now though after her accident along with her personality it has changed. Her hair is now stark white. Each strand now does the opposite of what it once was able to do. Instead of absorbing all light that shines upon it her white hair now reflects all of it for she is not worthy. She spends a good deal of her time running her finger throughout her hair so it's nothing straight. It reaches down to the middle of her torso ending unevenly.
Eyes: Irene prior to being a Failure had eyes that were white. A mutation of her genes was what caused this and throughout her life she either got to hear how amazing they looked or had to experience the trouble that came with the title of freak. Now though after her injury though her eyes are scarred. Around each eye is a pure white section like a aged scar. Her eyes are now both white as well with no pupil nor any other section as everything is covered by white.
Body: Irene has incredibly pale skin that it almost looks snow white. In fact almost everything about her physical appearance looks this way for example the flesh under her nails isn't pink, but snow white as well. As a female Irene is rather short not even reaching the average height for a female of full growth. She has an average sized bust while having a thin waist and the rest of her body looks incredibly thin yet nearly sickly. What is truly the catch of one's eye though is her veins. Irene normally can only be determined as a true Failure when one sees her veins. Unlike other Failures who normally have some part of their body change color Irene's blood does. This actually causes her veins to become completely visible as the colors shine bright enough that they pass through her skin. The color of her blood goes from Blue >>> Green >>> Golden >>> Pink. However, when she is actually angry her blood turns black.
Reiatsu: Irene's reiatsu unsurprisingly is white in color however it also seems to be the same in sensation. Her reiatsu although she has experienced so much and gone through so much pain it doesn't contain any sort of indication to the type of person that she is. Much like a blank slate that has yet to be marked. It does carry with it something peculiar though. When someone senses or feels her reiatsu it's as if more weight than they can carry has suddenly been placed on their body. It feels dense, so dense that one might forget it's intangible.
Personality
Dislikes:
1. Drinking: Irene has seen good people throw themselves away by drinking. How it effects everything that one holds dear and what decision that they make. It's for this reason that Irene won't drink nor will she advise someone else too. However, now she understands that some people just need something to fog over all the crap of reality.
2. Gambling: Growing up and living throughout her life, all of her lives as a poor individual that tries to help out those with less than herself Irene detests gambling. Wasting money is something that she can't accept. Making due with a little is better than trying to throw it away for a dream of more.
3. Dreamers: Irene once loved these individuals believing that they were the ones that would eventually bring change to the way things work. She herself dreamed of helping others so that no one would suffer. Now though after everything that's happen she dismisses them as over imaginative people who need to learn what reality is and that they can't change it.
4. The Rich: Irene hates the majority of these people since most of them only use their vast wealth to make their lives better. They don't care about those less fortunate then themselves and its for this reason that she distains them.
5. Arrancar/Hollow: Irene hates these selfish creature for they eat the less fortunate then themselves in order to make themselves more powerful. They are the embodiment of everything that she hates. Those that kill in order to survive. Those that pick on the weak and are willing to kill so that they can just continue.
Likes:
1. Books: Irene has always liked to read books now instead of fantasy though she has been reading Mystery and Horror series. She did however figure out that she was killed as a human by the murderer known as Jack The Ripper.
2. Coffee: A very cheap and affordable drink that Irene as a Shinigami learned to love. She can drink it black however even against her judgment to always put herself last and never waste money she enjoys it with fresh milk more.
3. Animals: Irene loves animals for she sees them as creatures that are born innocent and if raised correctly are infallible friends. They will always love their mother or father and will do whatever they can to keep them safe like a loving child.
4. Sleeping: Irene spends a good deal of her time asleep so that she won't have to worry about the lives of other people. She enjoys this because in her dreams she has nothing to worry about or be sorrowful towards.
5. Piano: Irene likes how the piano can make a wide assortment of sound and the beauty of them all together. It's for this reason that she has started to learn how to play it.
6. Kido: Magic that is only limited by ones reiatsu and imagination is something that Irene loves and holds as one of the most beautiful abilities in existence.
Flaws:
1. Attitude: Irene is tired of trying only to fail. So after failing into depression at what she has become she no longer wants to make a difference for she believes that any she makes will eventually turn out to harm more people.
2. Paralysis: Division four was unable to heal the crushed base of Irene's spine prior to her soul turning into a Failure. It's for this reason that Irene's spine can never be healed and she won't ever be able to walk again. This makes her virtually a stationary target when it comes to combat.
3. Techniques: Irene holds no love towards the abilities of Quincy or Hollows. It's for this reason that while she now actually has the ability to use them she would rather not. This means that she normally won't use them unless she has too.
4. Instability: Irene is now a Failure so to reason her biggest flaw is the fact that if she takes any sort of damage of any real consequence then she will explode.
5. Blind: The foe was merciless against her scorching her eyes with some sort of blaze that didn't burn away her features yet took away her ability to see. Just as division four was unable to heal her spine her eyes even after having extended treatment remain white. It's led to believe that she is now forever blind.
Habits:
1. Sleeping: Irene spends a good deal of her time sleeping and resting. She didn't experience or get to rest much throughout her life so now that she has no way to help others she can truly rest.
2. Reading: Irene does enjoy to read books and always has been an active reader. However, now instead of reading fantasy books about characters that are meant to change something she finds herself reading mystery and horror.
3. Watching Animals: Irene although she doesn't feel the same way about virtually anything that she did after everything that she's experienced she still enjoys looking after animals. Believing that they are truly pure and need friends more than even people.
Fears:
1. Detonation: Irene fears that she will be incapable of even protecting herself from harming others. She knows that if she takes any sort of damage to her now instable body she will explode and kill anyone that is within a virtually an entire town.
Goals:
1. Irene wants to learn not only how to play the piano better, but also learn how to read Braille like second nature.
2. While she doesn't wish to be in any sort of conflict anymore Irene does wish to re-master her usage of kido.
Alignment: Passive Neutral
Overall Personality:
Irene is a complex individual due to all of her suffering and ill fortune. While it's true that even now after everything that has happened to her she wishes for others to be happier than herself. She no longer feels that she has any right to help them. She has tried before and always been a failure. So instead of trying to help out someone from a problem that they're going through she believes that by not intervening she is giving them the chance to fix it themselves so that they might become strong enough not to need help.
This is actually not how she feels deep down however. Beneath it all Irene still wants to happy others and watch over them like she always has. The problem is that she herself is now lost. Emotionally she is broken due to the constant eventually failure of her actions. She struggles to find happiness in situations now as she normally just assumed that everything eventually goes bad no matter how good it might appear.
To put it simply she's depressed at the fact that throughout her life all of her attempts to make not only her own life, but the lives of those just as bad as her own have always failed. She feels responsible for failing all of them and allowing those that died to die. This has now weighed down on her due to her now inability to save anyway. Throwing her into a deep depression that only seems to be accompanied by wisdom and anger.
Irene appears to only ever been in her sunken depression state of emotion as she has lost virtually everything that she was able to obtain after centuries of life. She does hold spite towards the foe that not only defeated her after killing so many Shinigami, but also for crippling and blinding her just out of a twisted sense of pleasure. She explains everything that she feels as simply being "To tired from trying."
Powers
Fighting Style: Irene no longer wishes to fight anyone. She has had her full of battles, killing, victory and defeat. It's for this reason that whenever Irene feels that someone is going to resort to attacking her that she tries her best to verbally convince them otherwise and to move on. When this doesn't work though and she is forced to defend herself Irene still has the sort of basic drive to keep living.
So when faced with a foe that won't back down or accept that she doesn't want to fight against them she has no choice, but to bring them down. What this means is that Irene normally tries to finish off her foes as quickly as possible so as to not give them a chance to kill her. For if she were to try then everyone in the immediate area around her would also die. So normally eliminates foes by combining her knowledge of kido with cero to form quick yet fatal combinations.
Irene is specifically a distance combatant as she is no longer capable of free movement due to her paralysis. It's for this reason that Irene has to be careful as soon as she knows that there is someone in the immediate area. She normally keeps herself alter so that no one can sneak up on her. She knows that she's never been more vulnerable, if she lets her guard down when others are near then she has a high chance of being killed. So she is almost always using one or more of her senses to find out where people are and what they're doing.
When she needs to actually be the one to attack Irene prefers her once natural ability to cast kido as opposed to the newly obtained ability to cast both Hollow and Quincy techniques. Casting Bakudo the moment that she knows the location of her foe or casting defensive spells when a foe is by her judgement to close to her. She doesn't seem to favor a specific type of element though only that she prefers kido to other spells.
Reiatsu Property: "The Fog of Pressure"
Irene's Flood has the appearance of a thick white fog. When she releases her Flood it looks as if the fog is coming off of her body as if she is a generator of it. What this white fog does though is simply apply pressure. Irene's Flood has the property of Gravity, Her fog is able to extend off from her up to fifty meters. In this Flood her ability to apply Gravity effects everything equally whether it be physical or spiritual in nature.
The potency of the Fog is determined based on a few different things. The first of which is how close the fog actually is to Irene. Like stated above the fog is able to extend in all directions up to fifty meters. Now when it's within 10 meters to Irene the fog has its full power of her Reiatsu Strength. Every 10 meters that it gets further away from Irene the power that her Flood has is decreased by 10% leading up to the full extension only having 60% of her total Reiatsu Strength.
Now the way that her Flood effects everything is simple. When her fog makes contact with something her Reiatsu Strength determines how much force is forced down upon them. To make this simple any natural substance that is inanimate such as stone, buildings and other such things like vehicles all immediately get crushed down as if the gravity of the world is tens of times more powerful than normal.
Individuals that come into contact with her Flood need to have Strength higher than the power of the fog that touches them in order to keep moving. If they don't then they are forced down onto the ground as if gravity is simply too much for their body to support. Now the tricky thing about Irene's flood is the actual way that it reacts to the reiatsu strength of other individuals. The RS or Sppr (if released) of an individual that has made contact with her flood is used as a sub-conscious counter to her flood. What this means is simple. The value of her Flood is her RS, but it will always be reduced by the spiritual offensive stat of someone else when it touches their physical body. Additionally if an individual still is unable to move under the gravity of the fog then they can expand their reiatsu from their body to ignore the effects for a single post. This requires that they spend 400 reiatsu per post while also using up a fair amount of stamina. This only effects their physical body this method can't be used for techniques.
As for thrown weapons such as shuriken, kunai or arrows that are physical they need to be moving faster than the value of her Flood or else they immediately are forced onto the ground. Spiritual attacks such as Quincy arrows, cero and projectile kido need to have a higher offensive stat then the fog that clash with or else they're forced to the ground as well. When this happens if the technique would explode the radius of the explosion is limited to that area that it touched mitigating the area of damage to almost nothing. Her flood can also be used to crush binding techniques or barriers so long as her RS is 50% higher than the offensive strength of the other technique.

History:
Irene was born as the first born daughter of a chimney sweep father and her mother. Her parents although they wished to have a son weren't disappointed or spiteful for having a daughter. Her parents weren't wealthy and throughout much of her life Irene had to deal with the troubles of going without food. It was because of this that when the time came that she developed into a woman she decided that she would help her family survive.
She was remarkable in appearance and many couldn't believe that she wasn't noble from her beauty. This led to her sacrificing her pride so that she could support her now injured father and sickly mother. Selling her body so that she and her parents could eat was all that her life became. It slowly started to eat away at her own self respect. In truth though it didn't last all that long. For at the age of twenty eight she was murdered in London while on the streets.
Irene as a spirit was very sorrowful at how her life had actually turned out. She had always dreamed of sailing across the oceans to the new land of America and yet she had used up all her time taking care of her parents. Her selflessness though strained prevailed and when it did she had decided to say goodbye and then accept that she was done. Arriving at her house she watched as her parents cried over the news that she had been found deceased. It was truly a strange thing for such a sight to bring her happiness to know that her parents truly cared about her after all.
It was only the next day when a Shinigami found her on the streets of London sending her on the way to the Rukongai. Her luck didn't seem to change at all once there though as she arrived in Hanging Dog District Seventy Eight of Rukongai. It was there that Irene truly learned that life is a harsh thing and unless you try to make your life better it won't ever change. She wasn't able to change the lives of her parents or her own as a human, but as a spirit Irene wanted to live a life of more happiness.
She wondered throughout the district over and over at first trying to make ends meet by begging in order to eat. She was one of the few spirits that needed food to survive due to an overabundance of reiatsu. She never got very much for herself though. Only ever eating enough to make it to the next time she would need to eat. It was all for the singular reason that she started to take care of the children who needed a place to stay and things to eat.
Twenty years went by in the blink of an eye it seemed. Such a long amount of time had passed where all she could do was try to the best of her ability to take care of those smaller than her. Those that didn't have experience begging or struggling to get by. Individuals that without her would have surely died. She continued to do this until one day the broken down building that she had always called home was destroyed along with a large section of Rukongai by an attack on Soul Society.
It was during the attack that all of the children that she thought of as her own now, that she was happy to take care of for she was giving them the chance to live better than she ever had. They had all been killed and only she had managed to avoid death. It was after this event that Irene drifted off into depression. She hadn't been enough to keep them safe and now it was time to change that forever. So becoming a Shinigami was her only choice for true strength.
She gained entrance into the academy of the Shinigami shortly afterwards and when she did it was found that she had incredibly powerful reiatsu even compared to the naturally gifted spirits. Throughout the fifty years that she was an academy student Irene made some friends and some enemies. Some of the others just couldn't accept that she was so different. Irene couldn't have a zanpakuto. She was one of the rare spirits that held such immense reiatsu that any zanpakuto she carried with her would eventually shatter.
So she trained herself to be a master of Kido. She was able to impress many after graduating and eventually after another fifty s of practice was able to become a seated officer in the Kido Corps. However, throughout all this time Irene still tried to use her power to help others. To protect the people that couldn't protect themselves. It was this mentality that ended her career and life as a Shinigami only a few weeks ago.
Irene was sent out after a squad of Shinigami had been defeated by some sort of foe that managed to kill them all. Irene arrived at the scene to find all of the bodies shattered around broken and deceased. She couldn't believe what she was seeing and upon finding the culprit began to fight him off to the best of her abilities. For the first time during her career as a Shinigami she lost her control. Going over her limit. Struggling to try and keep her reiatsu under control she was defeated.
Defeated in a rather brutal and harsh way. All it took was for her to flinch and struggle to keep her reiatsu under control for the foe to shove their hand through her stomach. Irene couldn't do anything her body wouldn't move and it looked like her life was finally over. The hand of her foe grasped the base of her spine crushing it leading to her paralysis. Finally the monster cast fire upon her face burning her eyes asunder blinding her forever.
She was then left for dead on the battlefield. Somehow she managed to survive long enough though for the fourth division to find her and save her from actually dying. The problem though was that Irene while being healed by the members of the fourth division changed. Her hair changing color from black to hair and her skin turning pale. She was no longer a Shinigami. She had become a Failure and when that happened she was banished from Soul Society. Allowed to rejoin the world of the living as a failed Shinigami who now has no reason to life, but to try yet again to save as many people as she can.
