Irene

Irene Is a character from Lagios. She only appeared for a very brief time before being killed by Yume. She lived deep within a forest called the Vanishing Woods.

Background
Irene was a forest demon who resided within a forest located around the western ends of Lethe. She did not work for anyone in particular and as such was not affiliated with anyone and likely attacked any who came around her forest. The first and only documented hint of her existence in the forest was discovered by the unknown deceased writer of a journal in a small house in the forest which Yume found, with the journal dating back one year prior to the events of the main timeline being written in 1615. her methods revolved around luring people into the forest which appears to many as a beautiful peaceful area due to said beauty it was a popular area people and travelers alike passed through being drawn to its natural beauty. However once within an unexpecting traveler would seemingly have no way out as she could control the forest and bend it t her will and cause all sorts of strange phenomena and even monsters to be there. As a result, many who passed through there have never returned and would go missing. It is unknown how long she had been doing this but it can be implied she had been doing such activities to varying degrees for many years. One day Yume traveling with her newly met allies Crisalia and Lobelia would pass through this very forest and Irene would spot them and seek to make them her next victims. Separating the trio and forcing them apart she picked off Lobelia first and then afterward Crisalia luring both at different points to her area and then poisoning them.

She had hoped to have gotten rid of Yume already by having her get stuck with a large spider monster but her plans failed and Yume had later found her. Irene tries to kill Yume in a fight however the forest demon quickly would find she is no match for Yume nor able to really keep up with her speed and after many failed efforts due to Yume being immune to most of her most deadly of attacks Irene was eventually killed thus the forest was released from her hold and it returned to normal.

Appearance
Irene has very long hair the length of which is so long it drags across the ground, her hair is brown in color and she keeps it tied in a single long ponytail. She has a single bang in her hair which covered her left eye and she had green eyes and wore a blue-colored lipstick. She was mostly nude and the only notable piece of clothing wear on her would be a single plant vine that wrapped around her breasts.

Powers & Abilities
Irene was potentially quite formidable and showed formidable abilities and had her opponent not had been Yume she likely would have succeeded in getting her way and killing with success Lobelia and Crisalia. She has been shown to be in total control of the forest she resided in no matter what part of the forest she was in she could bend it to her will. She could cause many strange phenomena to occur in the forest such as activity similar to ghost hauntings and restless spirits wandering the place, she could command monsters within the forest to pick off who she wanted and she could create a thick fog at will and shroud the entire forest in it to cause travelers to lose their way. The fog was so thick that not even Yume could see correctly and even caused her to become separated from Lobelia and Crisalia. It is likely Irene has eyes around the entire forest or is at the very least able to sense the presence of any and all that are within easily no matter where they are. She was also skilled with using a special poison she used which came in the form of pollen which she used to get both Lobelia and Crisalia and attempted it with Yume but ultimately failed. She could also for a short time keep up with and react to a degree Yume's great speed in battle although ultimately she struggled and failed to keep pace with Yume's speed she did manage to fight evenly at one point and even trade sword blows with her, she even at points managed to succeed in ensnaring Yume in some of her attacks but unfortunately they had no effect on Yume due to her possessing a natural immunity to many of the things she attempted to throw at her.


 * Leaf Blade:Irene was able to create a large leaf on her arm which she grew. The leaf itself is no ordinary leaf being enhanced by her aura. The blade is strong enough to easily slice through layered steel and she felt confident enough in it to try and use it on Yume although she never landed a successful hit with it. She can also grow and extend its length and lethality of its cutting power as when angered she attempted to do so against Yume. Irene can also throw this blade of Leaf at an enemy at a distance.


 * Poisons:Irene has the ability to use poison she mainly does so in her personal area which appears like a small garden. She used this ability against both Lobelia and Crisalia. It is very hard to avoid as she causes a massive amount of purple-colored pollen to fill the area this pollen when a victim is exposed and they breathe it in causes them to fall asleep and never wake up again. The sleeping poisoned are left asleep until the poison spreads through their system which eventually leads to death due to breathing troubles. Had Yume not been there she would have successfully killed both Lobelia and Crisalia with this technique. She attempted to use this against Yume to which Yume showed she is immune to the poisons.


 * Deep Devour:Irene uses her magic and causes a large oversized Pitcher Plant to form usually coming up from underneath her target and trapped them. One of her most highly lethal techniques the fluids and digestive juices inside the plant are highly acidic and is able to instantly dissolve flesh from bone the moment someone touches the juices even just a slight touch can result in such a thing happening. She attempted to finish off Lobelia and Crisalia with this and when angered tried to kill Yume by trapping her within one but ultimately failed due to Yume being immune to the burning as she had a natural immunity to any heat-based technique or burning of any kind.
