Childhood

She spent most of her life chasing Ismark through the streets of Barovia and through the surrounding farmland. As she grew older Ismark taught her sword fighting so that she could protect herself. Lieth and quick she relies more on footwork and endurance to win her fights instead of strength.

Superstition

Besides being an outsider she she has long red hair is said to attract the ire of Strahd Von Zarovich. Prior to the century of peace it is said that Strahd hunted and killed several red headed women and those around them suffered greatly. Due to this the people of Barovia do not treat Ireena well. Often just ignoring her whenever possible. Assuming that this will spare them from retribution should Strahd reawaken.
