Personality

     Though still quite young and active, Lena is quite the motherly type.   Although unable to have any of her own, Lena ADORES cubs.  She is very courageous and will stand up against bullies, whether they are against her or any others.  She is outrageously protective of her loved ones, especially cubs. Though she has the protective and even sometimes fierce side of her, Lena also has the playful, wild, adventurous side of her. 

      Lena can be energetic, silly, and very goober-ish.  She is humorous and lovable, still being cublike in behaviour pretty much most of the time, which makes her a huge hit with the cubs, since she is upwardly welcome to play and goof off with them.  She loves adventuring in places unknown, and has a very prominent sixth sense which tends to keep her from getting that lost. 

     Lena is terribly clumsy at times, and even sometimes forgetful.  Being young and exhuberant, Lena can be known as a trouble-maker; she is quite mischevious at times.  She's often left alone with cubs, being trustworthy and reliable, and happily agrees to doing the chore most lionesses despise:  watching the cubs. 

     Lena can be shy around males, but is always friendly.  Though sometimes it comes to the point where she gets angry and/or aggresive, it is only for a legitimate reason, such as a posing threat or danger, she *never* holds a grudge.  She is very charming, and could be considered a "hopeless romantic" at times.  She is liked by almost every lion who meets her.

History

     Lena was born to a "player" kind of a father, who preyed upon lonesome females in need of a companion.  Though Lena doesn't like the stories of her father's behaviour, she doesn't hate him, and woud actually enjoy finding and meeting him someday, as he disappeared before her and her brother, Naavi, were even born, as he did so many times before with other lionesses.  

     As a cub, Lena was lonely and didn't have many others around her much often.  In fact, she rarely saw her mother, as the lioness had left the poor cub alone most of the time, forcing her to fend for herself.  After a certain day, Lena's mother had left her alone for good; she went off with Naavi, abandoning Lena as just a meer, helpless cub. 

     Lena was fortunately found by a caring lioness, who took her in and cared for her.  This particular lioness has impacted Lena's life so deeply, that she sees her adoptive mother as her muse, her inspiration.  Lena takes in any cub needing some care; she intends to help any young one who needs help and some tender, loving care whenever such comes into her life.
