Irina Petrov

About

Descended from glacial dragon lineage, Irina Petrov carries ancient ice in her veins and unpredictable storm energy crackling beneath her scaled skin. Her razor-sharp claws and nervous precision mask a hidden vulnerability—a lifelong quest to understand the volatile magic that both defines and threatens to consume her.

Backstory

Nobody expected the dragon egg abandoned at the monastery gates to crack open revealing a child who hummed before she could speak, her melodies somehow coaxing flames from cold hearths. The monks who raised Irina discovered her draconic heritage only when her first scales emerged at fifty, prompting them to secretly send her to Lyra, an ancient dragon who taught her to balance both natures through the lost art of flame-singing. When Orion, a traveling bard, heard her otherworldly music echoing from the mountain caves, he spent months learning her flame-songs before she finally revealed herself, leading to a love that transcended species until a wasting curse claimed him. She found his final composition carved into their secret meeting place—a melody that could only be played by claws on stone, his last gift bridging their two worlds even in death.
