Ireena Kolyana was a reincarnation of Tatyana, the girl whom Strahd von Zarovich fell in love with.
History[]

Ireena with a portrait of Tatyana.
When Ireena, her brother Izek, her father, and her uncle went on a fishing trip, Izek was bitten by a dire wolf. Frightened, Ireena ran away. She was found and adopted by Kolyan Indirovich, the Burgomaster of Barovia.
When Strahd was wandering Barovia, he saw Ireena and realized that she was the reincarnation of Tatyana's soul (souls that have been reincarnated tend to look like the original bearer of the soul). When she matured into an adult, he managed to drink her blood twice and Kolyan's heart failed him during these attacks.
Ireena's adoptive brother Ismark would ask adventurers to take her to a settlement where she would be safe. If she was taken to Vallaki, Izek would try to kidnap her and if she was taken to Krezk, she would be reunited with Sergei von Zarovich.[1]
