Ирейн

Irene (Official: "Ilena") was Claymore No. 3 of Teresa's generation. Irene was demoted from No. 2, after Priscilla was promoted in her place. Irene is known for her high-speed sword technique, giving her the nickname "Quicksword Irene" (高速剣のイレーネ, Kōsokuken no Irēne).[1] After Teresa's death and Priscilla's awakening, she faked her own death and deserted the Organization.[2] She emerged from hiding to help Clare. Her death is implied but never confirmed. Rafaela, the enforcer sent to kill her, told her that "for deserting the organization, your life is forfeit."[3]"Irene" is a transliteration of the Japanese "Irēne" (イレーネ, pronounced "ai-reen").
"Irene" is a feminine proper name, from the French Irène, from the Latin Irene, from the Greek Εἰρήνη, meaning "peace," perhaps alluding to her calm attitude or the fact that she withdrew herself from battle for a long period of time.

"Irene" is also a name of a goddess of peace, of early Christian saints, and of an 8th-century Byzantine empress.

The other version of the character name, "Ilena," may be a variant of "Ileana," a princess in Romanian folklore, who was rescued by a knight from a monster. "Ileana" itself is a variant of "Helen."Irene's story before becoming a Claymore is unknown. She was ranked No. 2 during Teresa's time but was demoted to No. 3 upon Priscilla's promotion. She was well-known for her Quicksword technique. She was apparently acquainted with Teresa, Sophia, and Noel during her employment.
Battle with TeresaEdit
After being demoted to No.3, Irene was summoned to a yoma hive to rally with Noel, Sophia, and Priscilla

. Their mission was to eliminate Teresa. She seemed to be the only one who was informed of the mission and was given the duty of passing on the information to the others. Sometime before she joined Noel and Sophia, she had seen Priscilla fight. According to her, she accepted Priscilla's high ranking despite the lack of experience immediately and that she shook with fear at the sight of the younger warrior in combat. She was the first to realize Priscilla's exceptional loathing for yoma, as well as the younger warrior's potential to surpass Teresa. Irene added that she would have refused to fight Teresa no matter how large the group was, but changed her mind when she saw what Priscilla could do.[1]
When the group found Teresa, she entered the building first and performed her Quicksword, which Teresa easily blocked. Irene was shocked, but continued to attack. Teresa commented that Irene's Quicksword had improved.[6]

When Priscilla engaged in single combat with Teresa, she stayed in the sidelines, explaining to Noel why Teresa was known as "Teresa of the Faint Smile" and why Priscilla, who fought with her yoki completely suppressed, was the best opponent for Teresa.[7] Irene was the first to identify that it was time to intervene when Teresa was beginning to gain the upper hand. She rallied the other three, stifling Priscilla's desire to fight Teresa one-on-one. Even with her yoki released, Irene could not defeat Teresa. In fact, she was the first to be wounded out of the four. The other three succumbed shortly after, with Teresa not even releasing any of her yoki. Irene was distraught at the group's defeat, realizing she had underestimated Teresa yet again.[8] When Teresa spared Priscilla, she was shocked, knowing that the old Teresa would not have hesitated to kill the younger warrior. When Teresa left, she tried to gather the group for another assault but Priscilla's yoki ran wild. In a maddened state and despite Irene's efforts, Priscilla pursued Teresa alone.[9] By the time Irene, Sophia and Noel had reached the battlefield, Teresa had released her yoki and Priscilla was clos

e to passing her limit. Irene identified Priscilla's condition of yoki release and was again astonished by Teresa's strength.[4]
When Priscilla killed Teresa and awakened, Irene was the first to attack, but lost her left arm the second they clashed. Within moments, Sophia and Noel fell to the Awakened Being. Afterwards, Priscilla attacked Irene, critically injuring her.[10]

DesertionEdit

Irene regained consciousness some time after Priscilla and Clare had left the site. Knowing she would be no use to the Organization with one arm and fearing death (be it from the Organization or Priscilla herself, if she returned), she deserted to a far-off valley surrounded by mountains, suppressing her yoki so it was invisible. There she remained for years until her yoki aura had almost vanished, living a simple life away from wars, abandoning the use of her sword.[3]
While battling Ophelia, Clare unknowingly approached Irene's hiding place. She felt that Clare's aura was almost identical to Teresa's, though Irene did not identify her until she found the pair. Ophelia turned her sword on Irene for interrupting her "fun." Irene easily blocked her sword with the Quicksword. Even Ophelia's Rippling Sword was no match for it. She easily incapacitated Ophelia and took in Clare after the latter lost consciousness.[5] Irene forcefully persuaded Clare to stay instead of recklessly going after Ophelia. Afterwards, she questioned Clare about her motives for becoming a warrior, trying to dissuade her from hunting Priscilla. However, when Clare told her that was impossible, Irene decided to teach Clare the Quicksword.[2]

It became clear to Irene that Clare could never truly master the Quicksword since she was not made for it. However, she continued to teach her for a day. That night, she gave Clare her old Claymore uniform and talked about Teresa. She told Clare that Teresa's death had been because of her unlocking the love in Teresa's heart. She, then, encouraged Clare to live on, since she was the only proof Teresa existed. The next day, she completed her Quicksword lessons with Clare and, as a parting gift, gave Clare her remaining arm. She insisted Clare kept it, saying that she did not need it when Clare certainly did.

After Clare left, a helpless Irene was confronted by Rafaela. She never showed regret for her decision to use her Quicksword, a technique that would release her yoki and make her detectable, or for her decision to give her arm to Clare. Though her death is implied (As Clare was leaving Irene's dwelling, she noted that her arm throbbed at roughly the same time as Rafaela and Irene's exchange.), it has not yet been confirmed.[3]
