What do you do if you spend your life as an orphan? Make the best of it. Sure, she'd love to be adopted and have a family of her own but not many people would choose the sick child next to the perfectly healthy one. Lena doesn't take it out on other lucky kids that get their forever family. She's been at the Oceanside Orphanage that the faculty are her family so are the other kids stuck there. She's feisty and loves to do daring things, even most of the time she shouldn't do it.
Lena has a way of thinking of other people's feelings and well being before her own. She has often been helping someone else and neglected her own needs. This has caused more health problems for her. She can go from being sweet and happy to depressed and self-destructive in mere moments.
A lot of people don't understand why this happens. She doesn't exactly understand herself. Things could go perfectly well, maybe even better and suddenly she'll wonder where she would be if she wasn't so sick or if her mother had decided to keep her and she'll go into a complete meltdown. She can do just about anything with clothes from thrift stores. She loves making her own clothes. Her motto is "reuse, repurpose, recycle."


|History|




Lena doesn't know anything about her birth parents except what her mother left a note that she received on her sixteenth birthday. Her mother was sixteen when she gave birth to Lena. The note explained that she was too young to keep her and there were too many questions about who the father was. She even admitted to her that the father was one of her teachers in high school. She did not leave a name for herself or her birth father, but she did give Lena one present. Her name. She has mixed feeling about her mother. She understands why she had to give her up but not why she wouldn't admit who her father was. An older man should have never been allowed to keep teaching young girls after that, even if they did love each other and eventually get married.
She couldn't hate her mother, though. As far as her mother knew, she'd be adopted as soon as she left her room. But Lena wasn't adopted. In fact, a few hours after she was born she had her first seizure. It was due to Hypoglycemia, also known as Diabetes. She had Type 1, an autoimmune condition where her body's immune system mistakenly destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. It's maintainable but who wants damaged goods? Definitely not adoptive parents.
Lena was taken to the orphanage at the age of four. She had never been in an orphanage for this long before. Out of the kids residing there now, she had been there the longest. Perhaps it's her who has the most questions about this place. It's been opened for so long and with the creepy old vibe, she loves trying to unlock the mysteries. As she grew up here, she would spend hours just sitting in a hidden corner somewhere making up stories of the other children that lived here before her. She even used to pretend that her mother was once an orphan here and she was following in her mother's footsteps.
As she grew up, Lena realized how stupid it was to think her mother had once lived here. Sometimes when she was out in public and she noticed someone who shared the same eyes or hair color as her, she wondered if she was related to them. She never had the courage to ask of course.
She never had a lot of things growing up, but the orphanage got donations of clothes. Even when she was just eleven she was picking out outfits and even refashioning some so they fit her better. By the time she was fourteen she could actually take apart clothes and sew them back together in different ways. She was given a sewing machine by the staff for her birthday that year. It's one of her most precious posessions.
At age fifteen, she got a job at a thrift store a few blocks away. She helps people find clothes and even offers the extra service of taking in clothes and making it perfect for each new owner. She loves mending clothes and making the fabrics beautiful again.
