Going Fast -- No really! Kess often helps indulge the fact that Lena likes going fast. This also goes for running across town as fast as she can, leaping from roof to roof, and even running down the street purposefully late so that she can push herself to fly faster and harder through the crowds. It’s not really living on the edge sort of fast, or taking things so quick that they’re foolish. She just likes being speedy and moving as fast as she can. It’s a weird thing to enjoy, but Lena isn’t the most normal girl anyway.

Numbers -- This is her one true passion in life, and they are like a second language to Lena. She is absolutely gifted in any form of mathematics, though unfortunately it doesn't stretch too far over in other academics. Sciences do come easier to her than other things, but sadly her grasp of poetry and literature is miserable at best. But you betcha that she will be the girl laughing uproariously at the most obscure math jokes on XKCD! Sometimes, when alone, she will sit and simply enumerate in one of her various notebooks, thinking of how the numbers could fit together - theoretical mathematics.

A lot of it was lost when Daphne became Lena but slowly she is absorbing it all again, picking up used textbooks on trigonometry, algebra, and calculus. It is her deep regret that she is poor because she’d love to play and invest in the stock market, but alas. For now she keeps the books at Kess’ Spot as part of earning her keep as a roommate.

Pole Dancing -- Yeah yeah, she’s waiting for the jokes. Don’t worry, she can take them...and you! With her life being almost fully dedicated to the Negaverse because she has nothing else, Lena is becoming obsessed with getting into physical shape. No longer can she rely on the supernatural gifts she was given because there are so many people in Destiny City that have greater ones. She thought about boxing, martial arts, but fell a bit in love with the videos of woman who did pole dancing routines on Youtube. Their bodies were fluid, fantastic, and utterly fit in ways that she could only dream of! So now several times a week she goes and has lessons with a certified Pole Expert and is slowly getting into the most athletic shape of her life!

Video Blogging -- What did you think she wouldn’t still be a tech kiddie? While not as obsessed with the internet world, with the fantasy video games, or the computer life that Audrey and Daphne had both been, Lena is still involved with the internet. However she’s become that thing that a lot of people can’t really stand and that’s a video blogger. Random thoughts, ideas, snippets of consciousness are uploaded to the web with irregularity depending on the subject.

No videos about the Negaverse and her thoughts about her memory situation are uploaded but they do exist. Not sure if she will one day wake up and know nothing again, terrified it will happen, these videos are Lena’s idea of buoys against the oncoming storm. Some friends might know about the blogging but not why, being that it is a shameful secret that she can’t seem to tell anyone about.

Virtues :;

Emotional Corking -- Not to be mistaken for simply being emotionless, Lena is simply practiced at not spewing the full force of her emotion everywhere unless she wishes to, in most cases. She would be internally screaming at you and all you might see is a thin smile and a polite request to ******** off. Something that the young woman prides herself on is the fact that she does not usually let anyone see her cry. In fact, in general, Lena does not cry unless it is very late at night and she does so quietly with little mess or noise. She views this as her greatest asset, and when things get emotional she clings to the reason and control that her mind provides.

It does however make it sometimes hard to relate to Lena or even think she’s being very serious about things. She has the capability to be very serious and give proper levity to a bad situation. It’s just that sometimes it’s not easy for her to handle such emotions and she tries not to. Easier to laugh than cry, isn’t it?

A Sense of Humor? I’ve Got Five! -- Pulling herself from her shell has been a slow and excruciating process for the young woman but thankfully, even after everything, Lena still has a glorious ability to be playful. Lewd jokes? Bring ‘em on! Want to pull an amazing prank on that hated professor? She’s game! Though she’s not really much for telling jokes there is nonetheless an incredibly ironic and wry cloud that she moves through.

Lena loves to laugh! This sense of fun and timing has her taking most things in stride as long as they’re not aimed directly at her. If you’re lucky she’ll just deflect onto something else, otherwise, beware. She’ll try and launch that sense of acerbic humor right at you like a javelin and use it for evil. So if you’re remotely intelligent and want someone fun to hang out with look Lena up! Odds are you’ll have a good time!

Just Do It -- With the loss of everything she’s known, the need has been born inside of the former Audrey Collins the need to just get things done. Life is short and you just need to reach out and do things instead of debating about them for weeks at a time. How much better off would they all have been if she had just gone with Castor to Cosmos originally. Would Tanz be how she is now? Being branded a traitor and living with those consequences has taught Lena that thinking too much about something brings only ruin.

Could she have saved the world instead of crying over it in her bedroom and waiting for the right moment? Lena doesn’t know and she doesn’t want to sit around thinking about it and waiting to find out! She lives now for every moment, in the moment, with a verve for life that she tries to impress on everyone around her. Yeah sure she can plan a good plan and there are some things she’s willing to sit around and wait for.

But not many! The time to live is now, and she’s going to do it! Want to come?

Flaws :;

The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions -- Generally, sometimes even when acting as Linarite, the bluenette almost always has the best intentions...for herself. They just tend to backfire in the worst possible ways without any urging on her part! It never quite occurs to Lena that just because something is good for her doesn’t mean that it’s good for everyone else. Simply put that while Lena thinks she is a caring, lovely person she’s one of the more selfish creatures you could possibly meet. Everything she does is almost always related to ‘how does this work for me’ first and foremost.

Becoming Lina Knight without even wondering what would happen to her friend Tanzanite or really, any of her Negaverse connections is the most selfish, best intentioned thing she’s ever done that has backfired horribly. She has lost the man that Linarite abandoned the Negaverse for, has lost the memories of the first sixteen years of her life, and doesn’t even remember being a knight.

The road was paved with the best of intentions, except the stones were made of lies, the road leading straight to her personal Hell.

DE-FENSE, DE-FENSE -- In spite of her denial and emotional control, beneath all of that incredibly defensive exterior is someone who is actually incredibly turbulent. Lena feels very strongly about almost everything around her. It could be something as small as an annoying pen click or something as huge as the person she loves. It could be anything or anyone but usually it’s from someone questioning the lies she’s telling to herself or the integrity of her cause being questioned. She feels so strongly that the feelings have to be suppressed or they are dangerous.

Poking at her weaknesses in any area tends to make her snapping, angry, and generally defensive. She can laugh at you all she wants but when you start back into that territory Lena becomes a bit of a hypocrite and closes up like a clam. Keep pushing and odds are she’ll let you know exactly how she feels at top volume and with an intensity that might be a little bit scary. After all, a girl can only take so much!

As Reliable as Weather -- Though perhaps she could have once been called reliable, everything that has gone in Lena's recent history has skewed that somewhat. Joining the Negaverse has never been an easy thing to do; leaving it and being forcibly returned was something considered nigh impossible. Yet Lena has done it and is now suffering the consequences, losing sixteen years of identity, of knowledge, and of a surety that when she goes to wake up in the morning she'll know where she is.

Worrying if her memory loss will continued happening as well as being jaded about everything that is going on in Destiny City does not make her the most reliable of people overall. If it's a task given to her by someone she respects such as Howlite or Zinkenite the odds are it will get done (eventually). Yet though Lena tries her best to be a good captain, a good member of the Negaverse, and a good friend these things have a tendency to fall by the wayside if a more fun time is offered elsewhere.

Overall if you can stress that she needs to be here doing this thing now with enough weight behind it, you will actually get Lena to step up and do what she should be doing. But sometimes, there are days when she’s just a little left of center, a strange look comes into her eyes, and she might try something that’s just a little insane. But what would you expect from someone who has lived what she has, seen what she has, and doesn’t have the energy to keep it all at bay?

Thanks for quoting me! I took out that last line you didn't like and tried to refocus the last trait. I'm not sure I quite hit it, but I tried?
