Cryokinesis

Due to her Manic Despair Mutantion, her extreme emotions are manifested through Cryokinesis--otherwise known as Ice Manipulation. Unlike others, Irene has learned to harness her abilities without needing an emotional trigger, and uses them to fight alongside her teammates. While Irene's ability is very technical, she's often held back by her own self-doubts...

Chill Body

Irene is a being of ice, and is constantly generating a chill--internal and external. She has a hard time retaining heat, and is immune to hyperthermia--so she never has to worry about getting overheated. She is almost always bundled up as a result.

Slip & Slide

A special technique that can be used in combination with almost all other Tiene Hills abilities. Irene uses her power to create ice ramps in front of her, which can be utilized as walls, as runways, as catapults, and more! She often uses them to gain speed and elevation in a fight.

Ice Cocoon

The Ice Cocoon is the very first ability Irene learned as a mutant. It's the ultimate defensive mechanism. Thick ice walls form around her, creating an almost impenetrable shell around her body. She can control its appearance from the inside, creating spikes and other hazards to keep intruders out.

Personality

Every good team needs a voice of reason. Someone level-headed and thoughtful, analytical and rational. While Irene is not all of these adjectives, she IS incredibly intelligent, and always knows just what to do to get out of a jam. As the "true" leader of Tiene Hills, Irene protects Holloway City with her life, hoping that the good she does will win back her parent's love.

Irene can come off as aloof on first meeting. She's solitary and enjoys her alone time, keeping conversations short and sweet. However, puncture that shell, and you see the warmth underneath. Irene is a sensitive soul who cares deeply for her friends--who she treats as part of her family. She has a deep love of sappy media, she has a sweet tooth, and sometimes cries over commercials if they're too emotional.

She takes almost everything seriously, which can make it hard to joke around her. She has trouble understanding sarcasm, and finds comfort in normality. When things are simple, Irene is happy...but she has a bad habit of accidentally overcomplicating things, so it helps to have a friend around to right her ship when it drifts off course. Above all, Irene is a genuine person, who wants to protect the people she loves new and old no matter the cost.

Though she is a capable commander of the team, Irene shoots herself in the foot sometimes when her self-confidence falters. Having been abandoned by her own parents when she was 11 years old, Irene is deeply critical of herself when she fails, and is quick to blame herself. To prevent herself from being hurt, she tries to shut herself away emotionally...but it never works, and her fears end up sending her back into an anxious loop. If she's wrong, she'll be hated, and she will be left behind...

Irene's anxiety is her own worst enemy, and it picks at her often, even after 7 years of training. However, when Irene is on her A-Game, she is a force to be reckoned with. Combined with Leader's intel, Irene's battle plans are perceptive, cutthroat and decisive. Although she may be more reserved than the other members of the team, Irene is a formidable member of Tiene Hills, and is much more beloved than she thinks she is.
