Character from Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
A Denali vampire whose grief over Laurent's death led her to report Renesmee to the Volturi — a mistake that cost Irina her life when the Volturi destroyed her for the false accusation.
Irina's story is a tragedy of grief and bad timing. She fell in love with the nomad Laurent, who was trying to adopt the vegetarian lifestyle for her sake. When the wolf pack killed Laurent for hunting on their territory, Irina was devastated and blamed the Cullens for their alliance with the wolves. When she later spotted Renesmee from a distance, she mistook the rapidly-growing hybrid child for an immortal child — a creation so dangerous that vampire law demands death for the creator and child alike. She reported this to the Volturi, who used it as a pretext to march on the Cullens. When the truth was revealed, Caius had Irina destroyed for the false accusation. Her death became a rallying point that nearly triggered the very battle the Cullens were trying to avoid.
Pale blonde hair, golden eyes, beautiful in the ethereal Denali way. Slender and graceful. Often described as having a more delicate, melancholy beauty than her sisters Tanya and Kate.
Also known as: Irina, Irina Denali
