DISTINGUISHING FEATURES Other than holding on to the red hair dye from her teenage years, she also has a lot of tattoos.

Both of her ears are pierced as well as a few hidden piercings on her body. Chest Piece. Left Arm. Right Arm.

CLOTHING STYLE Her rebellious nature goes in hand with her wild style of fashion and makeup; usually clad in a red themed outfit with a lot of skin showing. Lena is notorious for her provocative clothing. She has been reprimanded at the Academy both as a student and Professor to remain modest while in the institutions halls. She tries to remain mature in the school setting so her clothing is less revealing and she wears significantly less makeup but slips from time to time.

HISTORY
Growing up in a middle class family in the middle of a rural farm town with loving, caring, supportive parents was the perfect fuel for young Lena to constantly act out. Even as a youth Lena had a knack for seeking out trouble and firmly placing herself right smack dab in the middle of it all. Her parents Harold and Eleanor were more than patient with Lena, preferring to coddle her with positive reinforcement rather than punishment of any nature. Lena quickly developed a way to use this to her own advantage and continued to seek troublesome attention fully knowing her fun would not be put to a stop.

Instead of partaking in her family’s idea of wholesome family fun (aka Friday night board games) she would sneak out late a night Lena would walk for what seemed like miles looking for some sort of escape from her own personal brand of Hell. It was during her young age that she began to daydream of bigger and better opportunities for herself, often journaling them whenever she had the chance. While everyone else spent their free time hanging out at the local shopping plaza, Lena was focusing on having a good time and striving for her big city dreams.

Like many of the new students at the Academy, Lena found out about her powers accidentally. While horsing around at one of the local farms, she unintentionally set some of the crops on fire. By the time the local fire department was able to extinguish the blaze that had spread, Lena’s small mishap had levelled out an entire field of corn. She was shipped off to the Academy, a Godsend for the rebellious teen, to cause destruction in Canada away from her parents. Being away had only added fuel to the fire for Lena. With her new found freedom she spent more time partying and less time focused on school work.

Lena showed promise in some of her classes, excelling in her Writing/English classes as well as showing steady growth with her powers. Of course her delinquent streak overshadowed any of her academic accomplishments. Four years was too long for Lena, so once high school graduation came along, she quickly moved on to a new location. Settling in Boston for a few years she picked up a job as a waitress, working morning shifts and exploring the nightlife the bustling city had to offer. On top of writing in whatever spur of the moment mood she fell into she also began placing bets on sport teams from a usual customer than came through the diner she worked at.

Two years out of school Lena moved once more, packing up her things and headed south for New York City. She enrolled in a few creative writing courses here and there, but her dependence on gambling began to spiral out of control. Most of her money went to bookies and scrap lottery tickets instead of food or rent. One day a local loan shark came knocking down her door demanding some sort of payment. Defending herself, Lena burnt the loan shark pretty badly, stalling him enough to escape her apartment and call her parents. It was then that they were able to bail her out, bring her back home to the small town and forcing her to get help for her addiction.

After a rough year of rehabilitation and much needed support from her parents, Lena was able to slowly get back on her feet. She was accepted to a State University where she spent the next eight years working towards a PhD in English and Education certification. While writing was her true passion, her parents urged her to pick up the requirements to teach in order to support herself. Upon graduation Lena once again packed up and uprooted herself to the west coast, this time settling on rainy Seattle. Avoiding the crutch of gambling, Lena was able to focus on self-publishing her first book, a meagre collection of poems. It was with the tiny success of her book that she was noticed by the Academy and asked to join the staff.

So far Lena has been at the Academy for one school year and has had some trouble adjusting to normal adult/professional life. Sometimes she is seen partying with students -although she tries to avoid direct contact with her own students-, lurking the local tattoo parlor, or walking her puppy in the streets of Maple Hollow. Once in a blue moon she has come hung over in her morning classes, promptly declaring herself ‘coming down with something.’ Currently she is unsure how long she will be staying at the Academy, but stability is slowly if not begrudgingly growing on her.
