Irina Akulov (イリーナ・アクロフ) is a playable character in Xenoblade Chronicles X.
Appearance and personality[edit]
Irina is a human with fair skin, grey eyes, and dirty blonde hair in a bob that reaches her neck. She has a slim build, and her default armor consists of a dark indigo Sakuraba Light suit jacket and a white top, and dark brown Sakuraba Medium suit trousers and beige boots.
In the Definitive Edition, her hair is more silver.
Irina takes her role as a team leader very seriously, and has retained several habits from her time in the military, such as saluting Elma and referring to her as "ma'am".
Character Bio[edit]
Gutsy but cool-headed, Irina devotes her entire being to protecting the people of New LA. Back in her Skelleton Crew days, Irina served under Elma, a leader for whom she still maintains strong adoration.
Battle Style[edit]
Irina aids allies by using recovery techniques with areas of effect. Her unique style is based on the Psycorruptor class.
Story arc[edit]
Irina is introduced in Chapter 1 alongside Gwin, as Elma leads the player into New Los Angeles after being awakened from their stasis pod. As she is introduced, she tells the player of her, Elma and Gwin serving in the military back on Earth together, under Elma's command, and thus still refers to Elma as "ma'am". Elma protests and claims their old ranks are irrelevant on Mira, but Irina explains that she does it out of "respect, and [Elma has] earned it".
While Elma and Lin are giving the player a tour of NLA, Irina and her team clear out dangerous life forms by the East Gate, lowering the threat level enough for the gate to be open for access from Chapter 2 onwards. Elma informs the player that the team lead by Irina is one of the most efficient teams in BLADE.
Lore[edit]
- On Earth, Irina served in the military along with Gwin under Elma's command. On Mira, she insists on referring to Elma as "ma'am" as a sign of earned respect, despite Elma feeling it to be unnecessary. At some point in the 2 months after the White Whale crashes on Mira and before the events during Xenoblade Chronicles X, Irina joined the ranks of BLADE as an Interceptor and leads her own team, including Gwin. They are recognized by Elma as one of the most effective BLADE teams at keeping New Los Angeles safe from dangerous wildlife.
- Irina had a younger brother, Leon, who was killed during the attack on earth and was Gwin's best friend.
- Irina has a dislike for the Murderess as she views her as someone who shot her in the back in a previous mission.
- Gwin implies in Canine Conversation that Irina did not like her family on Earth.
