THE APPEARANCE

Marlena stands at an average five feet, four inches. Her body is slender and toned, due to her many years of dancing. Her skin tone is a light peach color and it is seemingly flawless, meaning she has small pores and rarely any acne. Marlena's nose is rather small, but it fits her face well. Her eyes are almond-shaped and the color of them is blue-grey. She has bleach blonde hair that reaches down to her mid back and is parted to the left. It is naturally wavy as well. She wears her hair in many different styles. Sometimes she'll just keep it down or she'll wear it up in a ponytail or a braid. To most, she is beautiful and she knows it. She is not vain, but she doesn't think she's anywhere near ugly.

Lena loves to dress up. Dresses and skirts are her thing. She usually wears light colors instead of dark because she enjoys them more, and to her they look better on her. However dark colors are worn for base colors, like certain skirts, sometimes dresses. She does wear britches at times though, but this is when she's out riding. Color doesn't really matter when it comes to her shoes, as long as they match her outfit and they're cute. One thing she always wears is a silver cross necklace that was her sisters.

THE PERSONALITY

Anyone who knows Marlena personally, usually knows that she is a sweetheart. She loves to make friends and to get to know people. She is one of those people who would go out of their way to make someone happy or to do something for someone. Even if she is too busy, if you ask her to do something, she'll most likely do it. She also loves to listen to people vent about their lives, whether it's good or bad. Not because she likes to take it in, and spread it, but because she feels like she's helping someone just by listening to them. and it makes her feel good that they trust her enough to tell her personal things.

Marlena is outgoing and loves to be happy. When she is with her friends, she is always smiling and messing around. Of course, she knows when to be serious. She is not shy at all, not even around boys. In fact, she can be quite flirty, if she is attracted to you. It never goes very far though. It's all harmless flirting. Just fun. Honestly, she is very girly, but she loves being around guys. Some of her best friends are boys. Anyway if she isn't smiling, there is something wrong with her or something happened to upset her. But even then, she tries her best to smile, just so she doesn't ruin the moods of the other people around her.

Even though Marlena likes to keep a good mood, she is short-tempered. Certain things just rub her the wrong way, especially when you disrespect someone. It doesn't matter if the person is her friend or not. if you hurt them in any way, she will snap at you. No one deserves to be mistreated. She also can't stand lying. Especially to her. She trusts too easily and lying to her only shows her that you're trying to take advantage of her. Another thing that sets her off is when her parents talk about arranged marriages. She doesn't want them, she wants to find someone on her own. She wants true love. Not some messed up forced marriage.

Marlena is a hopeless romantic who is also a dreamer. She dreams of having peace once again and to be free of the queen. She is free-spirited and likes to do things on her own. Two things that make her the happiest are horseback riding and dancing. Both make her feel like she's capable of flying and she loves that feeling. While she learned from her father how to ride horses, she taught herself how to dance. Everyday she practices even though she knows it won't get her anywhere. It's a passion she has and it's her way of coping with things.

THE HISTORY

BIRTH REALM: Faeryn
BIRTH KINGDOM: Faylinn

Lena was born eighteen years ago on june twelfth to parents Alyssa and Arthur Le Grant. The family was wealthy, so they were able to provide for their daughter, and occasionally buy the things she wanted. She wasn't spoiled, but you couldn't say that it was a rarity that she got something either. At age five, the toys started to become less interesting to her and going outside to run around took its place. This was when she started to dance after seeing a woman out in the streets dancing around. She thought it was beautiful and so she wanted to learn. Everyday she would go outside and try different things. Spin around, leap through the air, everything, until she got old enough to realize that what she was doing was not right. So she cracked down, because she wanted to be so good at it. The other main things that occupied her younger years were her siblings and horses.

Marlena has two older siblings, both four years older than herself. They were twins, but faternal because one was a girl, Arabella, and the other was a boy, William. She was very close to her siblings and the three of them were taught together how to ride horses. This was something else that Lena loved to do. She felt free when she was on a horse. Especially when the horse was at a gallop rather than a walk. The wind blowing through her hair was amazing. It felt like flying. It was the second thing to dancing that made her feel this way.

A couple years ago there was a raid set up by the Queen. She was after all the innocent and beautiful virgin girls within the kingdom and no one was safe. Lena was able to escape into hiding with her parents and brother, but her sister was caught before she could get back to the house. She had gone out that day and after the raid, she never returned. The whole family was devastated and fell into depression. It was hard to admit, but Marlena knew that it was worse on her brother. After all, they were twins and there is no bond that can beat that. Regardless, her brother was still strong for the family and was the one to pull out of grieving first. Lena knew why this was. It was because he vowed to help get revenge on the Queen. He wanted to see her dead. Marlena wanted the same thing, but she was too afraid to step up to someone like that, especially knowing what the Queen wanted.

It took awhile to get over the fact that her sister was gone, and while she never let go, she learned how to cope with it. Everyday she would go out and dance or ride her horse. Maybe even play with her dog. She just wanted to be free and happy. That's what she vowed to do. Try to stay happy. It was the best she could do for her family and for herself. The only downer was, her parents grew more frantic about getting her to marry someone. She wasn't completely of age, but that didn't stop them from looking. This scared Marlena. She didn't want to be given away to some man she didn't know. Of course, she always knew that that was the plan of her parents, because they were looking for someone for Arabella, but they were more persistent now. They believed it would keep her safe. Marlena hated it, and she refused to marry someone she didn't love. She'd rather run away than be married to some stranger.

However, Marlena ended up being sent away to meet a nobleman in Hrothgard against her will. At first, the young woman was reluctant and didn't want anything to do with the man, but it wasn't long before she changed her mind and fell in love with him. Lucky for her, he fell in love as well. The only problem was, after returning home she told her brother about her, not so appropriate stay with the man, and during a heated fight their parents overheard. She didn't sleep with him, but they kissed. Not to mention the few times he got a temper with her. Her parents didn't like the idea of him anymore, so they sent her to someone new. This man, was worse. He abused her and after an attempted rape, she escaped and found herself back with the Hrothgard nobleman. Life went on and everything was great, minus the time it took to trust him again because of the other man. Finally, he proposed to her and she said yes. But, before they could even make it to their wedding day, the man died, which left her heartbroken. Now at eighteen, she is back with her parents and her brother trying to keep herself together. What makes everything worse, is the fact her parents are back at it and trying to find her someone else. She's on the brink of breaking and all they care about is finding her a suitor. She prays to God they won't find someone, but with her luck, who knows?
