Biography: Lena wasn’t always the way she is today. In fact, it was quite recent that she became humble.

Lena was born to [Aeolus, Pandia, Hebe] and [Eduard/Sonya] in Minsk, Belarus. There she lived until she was five years old. That was around the time that [Eduard/Sonya] married her step-[mother/father], [Tanya/Abram]. [Tanya/Abram] pressured [Eduard/Sonya] into moving to Russia with them, despite not having the funds to really do so and survive. So when Lena was six years old she relocated with her family to Omsk, Russia.

There [Tanya/Abram]’s true colors began to show. Though never mentioning it until a good year after marriage, [s/he] hated children with a fiery passion. [S/he] began to abuse Lena vocally and emotionally, eventually ending up with physical abuse. [Eduard/Sonya] turned a blind eye to this because of [his/her] love for [Tanya/Abram]. This planted a seed of hate in Lena for her [mother/father]. She began to associate love with merciless abuse.

At eleven, things had only gotten worse. Five years had passed since they moved from Belarus to Russia, and money was still tight. They’d moved several times; each time the house got tinier and tinier. Lena hadn’t had a real bed or room since she was eight due to the shrinking living size.

Lena slowly began to break. She had a deep anger that nothing could put out. This was around the time she was getting her abilities in, aswell.

One day on the walk home from school, a boy who bullied her at school was following her, teasing her. She led him into an alleyway and killed him brutally. Lena returned home and told her parents.

Immediately, fear was struck into her parents’ hearts. They kept Lena locked away in a closet, hardly daring to open it. They never imagined that the shelter child they raised would be capable of such an awful deed.

A short while after this new treatment of her began, she was near death. She didn’t eat oftefn and she was sick from the poor condition of the place she was kept. She knew what she had to do—even though she didn’t like her options. So one day when her door was opened to give her food, she escaped and killed [Eduard/Sonya] when [she/he] went after her.

Lena lived on the streets for a couple of months, stealing for money to somehow leave the area. She made the money and began to travel under the radar. During this period of her life she made many illegal acquaintances across Europe and a small part of Asia.

By the time she was thirteen, she’d made it to England. This was the first time she was attacked by a monster. A bystanding demigod saw this and defended her. He gladly explained the situation of her being a demigod. She immediately believed him and asked how he could get her to this camp. He said he could arrange for her to be taken soon, but she would first have to work to pay the debt it would cost for transportation. She assumed it would only take a few weeks of hard labor, and he agreed to this statement. But he lied. He had plans to enslave her.

The day after the monster attack she was sent to the Czech Republic to work on a farm with other demigods the man had talked into working off debt. She quickly found out his intentions and plotted escape. [Pandia] That night she conjured a weapon and killed several of the people who were meant to keep an eye on the enslaved demigods working in the camp. [Aeolus] That night she escaped the camp, with little trouble due to being understaffed. However, she did stumble across one man. He attempted to hurt her and she almost instinctively had a wind pierce his chest. As he screamed for help and in pain, she escaped into the nearby woods. [Hebe] That night she escaped the camp, with little trouble due to being understaffed. However, she did stumble across one man. He attempted to hurt her, but she almost instinctively made him feel aged, and he was unable to protect himself for a short amount of time. This was long enough for her to kill him—which she did. It was the last time she killed.

She found her own way to New York and to camp. It took her two years, and through her journey she began to humble herself and let go of the anger that her parents put into her all those years back, for all that time. She began to refuse to kill anyone, though. She would even break out in tears after killing monsters after gaining a real weapon from a demigod along the way.

Personality: Though she was once hostile and pretty sociopathic, she's now calm and hesitant to hurt anyone. She's mostly slow to talk and quick to listen. Yet at the same time she's willing to protect herself and those around her, need the situation arise. For the most part, she is more comfortable when she's alone and despises large groups. She's most comfortable when around those she is emotionally close to, or close to when it comes to their personalities.

She can also take a large amount of mental torment--but she's not completely immune to it as she once thought she was.

To the stranger's eye, she may appear a little snobby due to her calm aura. But she's pretty much the opposite.

Her personality still has plenty of flaws; it's hard to get close to her due to some trust issues and she is almost completely useless in the fighting area of her life, and not because lack of skill.
