Lady Irene, also known as the Matron, is a powerful and revered deity in the Minecraft Diaries-MyStreet universe.

Irene was the most revered of the Divine Warriors in the Ru'aun region, she was born over nine hundred years before the events of Diairies and thousands of years before MyStreet. Irene was one of the few individuals who could create and traverse realms, her mastery of magic—especially healing—was unmatched.

At some point in the distant past, Irene sealed herself and her memories away within her own realm. After this event, her soul was broken into three pieces: the first became Lady Aphmau of Phoenix Drop, the second is the Aphmau of the modern era, and the third remains a mystery.

Biography

Early Life

Irene was born in an era where regions weren't even a concept, she was gifted with godlike powers that she used for good, such as healing the sick and saving crops, so she dedicated her life to bringing peace all over the world. Because of this, Irene fought in countless wars, taking sides she deemed the most "right". Due to her many acts of benevolence, Irene was held with the highest regard in Ru'aun during the Minecraft Diaries period as multiple statues were erected in her honor and for worship as well.

The Matron and The Shadow

Irene used her powers to aid in villages that needed her help. One day, she was warned of someone named "The Shadow" who wielded Magicks just as powerful as her that lived in the forest. Irene began to hunt him down, and then was ambushed by the same individual that she heard about. They realize they're both blessed with powers from the gods, Irene was glad she was no longer alone, while Shad was furious because he's feared and hated for his power. Irene begins staying in the village nearby to continue their rivalry. One day, Irene discovered Shad injured in the forest after exerting herself to heal villagers. Using all of her remaining energy, she healed him with her magics. Holding her collapsed in his arms, Shad decided to take her back to his home to let her rest.

The Establishment of the Lord System

Irene had a guard by the name of Xavier, even though the Lord system were only just being established at the time. Xavier founded the Jury of Nine in order to protect her, passing judgement on any person who wished to speak with her. Eventually, as more Lords came to power and the Lord system became more established, these new leaders needed protection. For this, Xavier established the Guard Academy. Xavier was recognized during his time as a hero for his service to Lady Irene. It was later revealed that she was the one who helped abolish the monarchy system and replaced it instead with Lordship.

Discovering the Celestial Cannon

Irene discovered the Celestial Cannon long after it was built to save the world from a comet dubbed Zeid. Irene put her and Shad's daughter into the prototype room of the structure, letting her get consumed and turned into a relic, then had Shad wield the relic without his knowledge. Irene's justification for sacrificing her daughter in the Celestial Cannon was, "I gave the life of our daughter to save the rest of our world". Irene was said to have lured and sacrificed many people, friends, and family in the cannon.

The Founding of the Divine Warriors

Irene gathered her guards, Enki, Esmund, Shad, Menphia, and Kul'Zak, and recruited their aid in holding back the void from consuming their world. She gave them each very powerful relics to wield, Enki said she had forged them against the fates. The Divine Warriors accepted the burden of immortality and the sacrifices they would be making in order to protect their realm. Shad was not made aware the relic bestowed upon him was forged out of his own daughter. Once he found out, he rebelled and became the Shadow Lord. Irene was forced to seal him in several realms before finally being able to rid of his physical form and trap him in the Nether.

The Human-Wyvern War

The Human-Wyvern war began during Shad's reign in the Nether, purposely provoking the Wyvern's wrath as an attempt to eliminate humanity on the Overworld. Irene intervened using her ability to commune with Wyverns to expose the true intentions of Shad. By the time Irene convinced the Wyverns, the humans have already made up their minds and continued the war. The King during that time would relentlessly send warriors of dark magic until the Wyverns were forced to lock themselves away in their realm. Irene's guard, Xavier, aided her in the time of the war.

Minecraft Diaries

As Shad became more dangerous due to his relic affecting him, the other four Divine Warriors (Esmund, Kul'zak, Enki and come to the conclusion to kill Shad, hoping this action would rid the world of evil, and maybe, give Irene the power to love and feel again. Shad found out about this, and as well found out about the death of his and Irene's daughter, which Irene purposely caused, and became enraged. He became a being of pure evil, "The Shadow Lord."

Irene took the battle into the Irene Dimension, and there, the Divine Warriors fought Shad. The battle was long fought and eventually, the Divine were able to defeat Shad and trapped him the nether.

Irene, however, could not grieve for Shad's death. She could feel nothing, and as her friends took reincarnation, she wandered the world in emptiness. Years later, Irene encountered Hyria and told of her one true desire, to feel again. Hyria told her to hide away her memories and take slumber in the Irene Dimension, until one day the world needed her again.

Thousands of years later, she awoke as someone who many would all know and love as Aphmau.

Irene's sigil

Lady Irene appears again as a voice in Aphmau's head in "Her Voice Within", when Aphmau lied to Lo about using magic. She showed disappointment at Aphmau's choice and wants her to use her power that Aphmau feared. When Aphmau refused, Lady Irene then took over, causing Aphmau's eyes to turn pure white and break free the cell and save Lo.

She appeared again when Aphmau was caught and imprisoned by Lord Janna and her warlock. This time, Aphmau acknowledged that the voice in her head was Irene. She explains that in order to save Hailey now, she must do what Laurance did to her at her forced wedding in "The Vows We Take"; Aphmau must create a massacre and let Irene take control. After hearing Aphmau's anguish, blaming herself for all of her plans to go downfall, Lady Irene asked if she was ready, in which Aphmau prepared and agreed. Irene then slaughtered the guards and demand Lord Janna to surrender, only to knocked down by her as she studied dark magic to defeat Aphmau. Then, Irene declared that she was Irene, and that none shall defy her. Aphmau passed out after Irene stopped taking control over Aphmau's body.

Later, in Aphmau's consciousness, Aphmau tried to confront Irene, demanding why she had to bear the identity of a Divine Warrior. Irene refused to show herself and only gave a vague response to her question. She simply stated that the reason why she can’t show herself and answer her question is that she isn’t mentally ready to accept her fate as a goddess. She told her that if she wanted to find answers, she must go to Enki Island and head to the library, of which there was nothing of use to help Aphmau.

MyStreet

In season 6, she appeared in Emmalyn and Kim's shared mindscape. She was also seen with her daughter in the afterlife after Aphmau died.

Appearance

In Minecraft Diaries, Irene possessed a similar appearance to Aphmau with long, dark hair and light-brown eyes, but her skin tone was notably lighter. Irene wears a dark blue hood with a gold trim that appears to end above her waist. Under her cloak, she wears a long white dress and golden bracelets. She can sometimes be seen with large white wings on her back.

In Mystreet, she is physically shown to have aged, with her hair losing its raven black color and turning grey.

In "My World", she wears the same attire that Lady Aphmau does in When Angels Fall with the addition of angel wings.

Personality

Priests and scholars believed that Lady Irene was a very kind-hearted woman. As she saved many people and was extremely powerful in terms of Magicks, even creating great relics of power and her own dimension in which a minute there is equal to one year in the mortal realm.

In Season 3, when she was observing Aphmau, Irene was be a bit forceful and cryptic. She decided to take over Aphmau's body and break free from the jail cell when she refused to use her magic and took over again to slaughter Lord Janna's guard and forced her to repent. Irene also refused to be blunt about answering Aphmau's question when she confronted her in episode 28. All of this behavior is due to how disappointed Irene is about how her body refused to accept her memories and want to live as a separate entity, and is forcing Aphmau into becoming one with her memories back as the world is still against her.

Titles

• Irene the Matron: Her title for the membership in the Divine Warriors.
• Lady Irene: What most people call her. This is because of her good deeds and special abilities (Probably because of her stopping the War of the Magi and the Human vs Wyvern War). Aphmau doesn't like being called this by worshipers because she doesn't feel worthy of being called a name of a person that she doesn't remember being but is supposed to be. The name also reminds her that she will one day lose her name as Aphmau as she regains her memories.
• Lady Aphmau: The new name for Irene after it revealed that Irene awoke from her slumber as Aphmau and people started calling Aphmau that in Season 3, due to her amnesia. This is the name Aphmau is more comfortable with as she dislikes being called Lady Irene.
