Irina and Aria dated for 9 months, and then while away on shore leave to Bajor they eloped suddenly and had a hasty though traditional Bajoran ceremony.  Irina takes her vow "to protect" extremely seriously (239406.29)

More recently Irina learned about time travel and how James Kirk traveled back in time to 1968 and later to 1986 successfully. She has since been studying and planning how she can herself go home to 2171. She understands the ramifications, how this might alter the timeline, and is torn between her desire to return to her proper time and the understanding of the damage this might cause.

{{Section|Present|Red}}

Irina has been at the Duronis II Embassy longer than she'd spent at any other assignment other than her exile on Kjenta II, and during that time has formed many close relationships and overcome many of the challenges she faced as a 22nd century person trying to live a 24th century life.  Along they way she was married, widowed and then married again, taken in a teenager from a planet following a Prime Directive violation and seen that teenager off to Starfleet Academy, and has settled down into a happy and almost normal (as normal as life can be in Starfleet) family life with her wife, Commander Oddas Aria and their two daughters, Katya Pavlova and Jazmine Snow.

Despite everything going so well for her, Irina still has many problems to overcome.  Recently she has had some serious misgivings about the never-ending cycle of violence and her role in perpetuating that cycle, and has also suffered some minor side-effects of being away from the radiation of the Kjenta star that over 219 years had altered her physiology.  What started as an occasional nervous tick has slowly progressed to slight shakes that have started to affect her accuracy.  While not necessarily a health problem. per-se, she has also notice the gradual waning of her physical strength.  Since that strength was the result of over two centuries in extremely high gravity, living in normal gravity for the last five years, despite Irina's borderline masochistic workout regimen, has taken its toll.

Today Irina's principal goal is find balance in her life and come to terms with her gradually increasing abhorrence of violence and the fact that violence is the thing that had heretofore most defined her, and which those around had most relied on.

{{Section|Abilities and Disabilities|Red}}

Irina suffers from many side-effects of her long exile on Kjenta II. Kjenta II was a high gravity planet with unusual and harsh light from the nearby red dwarf Kjenta star. She is completely color blind and highly light sensitive due to the complete fusing of the cones in her eyes. She also suffered fairly severe nerve damage to her left side that while mostly repaired, was not and never will be perfectly so. This results in severe cramping of her left hand if she tries to do any fine motor control and has made it almost impossible for her to play the violin without significant pain. Irina is also exceptionally strong, the benefit of living 2.2 centuries in almost three times earth normal gravity. She has essentially the same level of physical strength as a strong Klingon or an average Vulcan. Lastly, she is VERY rough around the edges after 220 years living on essentially a post-apocalyptic wasteland of a world. She holds many normal customs in quiet disdain and was sarcastic, borderline insubordinate during a recent inspection of the USS Vigilant.

Strangely and out of sync with her history and branch, Irina is also extremely gifted at math. While she only has the normal 22nd century Marine Academy Bachelor of military science degree, she studied advanced mathematics under the legendary Dr. Lan Ngoc Treng during her 219 year exile on Kjenta II and is essentially equivalent to a doctor in applied. mathematics. She also learned, by necessity, basic mechanical, electrical and civil engineering working on the many construction projects geared toward departure from Kjenta II.

More recently Irina was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander, and reassigned (and laterally transferred back to the Marines) as Chief of Strategic Operations and after as Chief Tactical officer at Duronis II Embassy and USS Thunder. Upon arrival she was reunited with now Colonel Tyr Waltas, the ship captain who had rescued her from the purgatory of Kjenta II. He again played the role of savior when he prevented her from performing the slingshot maneuver in a stolen runabout in an attempt to return to the 22nd century, and then helped her cover her tracks.

Irina is currently the Chief of Strategic Operations for the Embassy and its attached starships, and as her relationship with Aria deepened she has also begun to think about possibly leaving the Marines and switching over to regular Starfleet, mostly on account of a growing wariness toward violence.

The Thor's most recent mission sent Irina and her shipmates to the one place she never wished to return to; Kjenta II.  Irina spent two months on the surface and quickly re-adapted to the high gravity, while rejuvenating in physiological age by three years.

Finally (and secretly) Irina has been teaching herself the Bajoran language, and hopes one day to surprise her wife with a trip to Bajor and on arrival, turning off the universal translator and interacting with Aria and the Ijos in their native language.  

Irina's ordeal on Kjenta II is not listed anywhere on her personal or medical file.  That file was edited and doctored by the captain and chief of security of the USS Discovery-C and indicates that rather than spending 219 years on the surface of Kjenta II, Irina Pavlova is reflected as spending those years in cryogenic stasis with her surviving shipmates.  Her medical file still shows her height as 5'8" and weight as 118lbs despite an actual decrease in almost 2 inches and an (invisible to the eye) increase of 100lbs, all in increased bone density and muscle density and definition.  Her colorblindness and permanently dilated pupils are amended in Discovery's report reflecting damage caused by a fault in her failing stasis tube on recovery.

{{Section|Unusual Possessions|Red}}

Irina owns a number of relics from her 22nd century life, including a number of weapons issued to her as the chief armory officer of the USS Columbia in 2169, a few specialized projectile weapons from her training as a marine sniper and a number of weapons she has sought out and obtained since her rescue in the 24th century.  She also has a vintage Rolex wristwatch from the First World War that is currently on "permanent loan" to [[Oddas Aria]], a vintage Norton 850 Commando motorcycle that she and Oddas restored together and a number of her original 22nd century uniforms which she often wears on special occasions or for important or dangerous duties.  This is perhaps due to a strong desire that when her time comes, she wants her body to be found wearing her "proper" uniform.
