Gym Leader Irina Irina Petrova could be said to be a very gentle woman who feels a deep connection with nature. It's said that she had her gym built out in the mountains to allow her to better train in harsh, untamed - yet serene - land, though no one is quite sure if it's true or just a rumor. What is known for sure about her is her strong belief in the right of Pokemon to live in peace in the wilderness. She and the villagers have constant arguments about how to deal with what they deem local "pests." While she will chase wild Pokemon out of the village, she refuses to harm them for what she calls the "crime of trespassing onto their own land." It belonged to the Pokemon first as far as she's concerned.
As for her own Pokemon, she swears by Steel types. People brag about the ingenuity of man, she will say, yet nature had harnessed the powers of metallic alloys millions of years before the bronze age. What took the human race years to learn to create with the aid of technology occurs in nature simply by the bringing of two Durants together.
Irina is a short, thirty-five year old woman who stands at about five-six. Her body is well-toned from the side-by-side training she does in the wilderness with her Pokemon and her skin is lightly tanned. Her light brown hair is cut short to her ears as she prefers not having a lot of hair to comb. Her eyes are a calm blue and her lips are full and often curved upwards in a hearty smile. The clothes she wears out are what you'd generally expect of a hiker.
The Steel-type gym's battleground is surprisingly nowhere near the actual gym. The gym is where the Pokemon train, but not where challengers are brought by Irina. The battleground itself is carved into the side of a mountain about thirty-nine feet from the base. A zigzagging, unkempt path leads up to this place so trainers need not worry about the climb. The ground is of solid, flat rock with all vegetation cleared away and no lines to show the borders of the battlefield. On one side of the battlefield a trainer will find an almost completely vertical rock wall and on the other a sheer cliff.
