— Irena, Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea

”

Irena (イレーナ) is a mermaid from Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea. She is a friend of Wadanohara and resident of Deepsea Town. She is also currently missing from the character page.

Physical Description

Irena has strawberry blonde hair with a heart-shaped mark on the right side braided into two strands. Her bangs are layered and sideswept. She also has golden yellow eyes with white pupils, raceless white skin and a long mermaid tail the same color as her hair. She wears a burgundy kimono with lighter pink spots; the kimono also has fluffy white accents towards the end of both sleeves and hem of the garment.

Personality

Irena has "big sister" type of personality, shown to care for her friends. Despite her carefree attitude and light treatment towards serious situations, she can be mature and down-to-earth. She likes naps and snacks, which seem to keep her at home most of the time. She also enjoys singing, fittingly talking in a singsong voice a lot. During and in-game a flashback, Irena often sends Wadanohara on errands on her behalf since she cannot walk on land (much to Samekichi's dislike). Besides naps, she habitually gives tight, lengthy hugs.

Reley Lo

Reley Lo is Irena's younger sister. They appear to be on good terms, although Reley Lo is not often present due to her travels.

Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea Cast

Samekichi

Samekichi and Irena are acquaintances. Samekichi finds Irena somewhat annoying due to her frequently asking Wadanohara to complete errands for her; he once exclaimed Irena should grow some legs and do the errands herself. Irena in turn seems to like teasing Samekichi. She once teased him about his jealousy for Wadanohara, assuring him no one was going to take her from him, flustering him.

Despite this, they seem to get fairly well. Samekichi once asked Irena what kind of present would make a girl happy. Irena knew he was referring to Wadanohara, so after teasing him for being a "lady-killer" she suggested an ocarina. Samekichi took this advice and gifted Wadanohara an ocarina, which she deeply cherishes to this day. In the manga, when Irena notices the ocarina in Wadanohara's hands while Samekichi is away, she briefly monologues about him, wondering where he was and what he is doing when he is supposed to be the at Wadanohara's side.

In a bonus comic in the manga, Irena and Tarako, who she was holding in her arms, are shown grinning mischievously at Samekichi's consult over how close Wadanohara gets to him. According to Irena, Wadanohara only did this to him. Samekichi then hides himself in a hole of embarrassment.

Wadanohara

Wadanohara is one of Irena's friends. Irena often sends Wadanohara to complete errands for her, such as getting apples. When Wadanohara came back to the Blue Sea, Irena asked if she wanted to sleep with her, to which Wadanohara declined because whenever the two sleep together, Irena squeezes her.

Tarako

Tarako is Irena's friend and neighbor. When Totsusa Soldiers invaded the Sea Kingdom, Irena comforted Tarako as they started to cry out of fear. During a flashback sequence where Wadanohara gave Irena some apples she enjoyed, she mentioned Tarako liked them as well, meaning she had shared them with them. They are frequently seen paired with Aom. When the Totsusa Kingdom arrived to attack, all three of them met up in Deepsea Town. Irena is the one to comfort Tarako while they were crying out of fear.
