Appearance
Lena's appearance is dependent on which model is chosen for King "Liam".

Background
When "Liam" was a child, his mother Eleanor went on a long trip shortly before her death. She travelled to Vallenheim and gave birth to Lena, leaving her new newborn daughter in the care of Queen Sigrid who raised her.

The Royal Finale

 * Chapter 2: Courted
 * Chapter 3: Crossroads
 * Chapter 4: Belle of the Ball, Belly of the Beast
 * Chapter 5: Testing the Waters
 * Chapter 6: The Comeback Queen
 * Chapter 8: The Playdate

Sigrid
When Eleanor gave birth to Lena in a Vallenheim hospital, Sigrid legally ceded the ward to Cordonia for her birth, making Lena a citizen of Cordonia. Eleanor then left Lena in Sigrid's care, and Sigrid raised Lena as her ward. During Lena's childhood, Sigrid told her that her birthright needed to be kept a secret and that the Via Imperii had big plans for her. Unhappy with her predicament, Lena requested and was granted the ability to train in Captain Silvia's guard and make something of herself.

Via Imperii
Lena considers the Via Imperii her benefactors. In Chapter 5, she reveals to you that she is "The Fist", one of the five members of "The Circle".

King "Liam"
Lena is "Liam"'s younger sister. Although "Liam" is interested in developing a relationship with her and "saving" her from the Via Imperii, Lena doesn't appear to reciprocate his feelings.

Your Character
If you decide to spend more time with Lena during the Children's Day Festival, she is a little bothered by your incessant questions and asks your friends if you're always like this. She tells you that she did not contact "Liam" earlier because the timing wasn't right for her or for her benefactors.

Olivia Nevrakis
If you compare her to Olivia Nevrakis, Lena says she learned to fight to achieve her goals, not because of family tradition.

Trivia

 * She shares the same name as Lena from A Courtesan of Rome and Lena Ortiz from The Heist: Monaco.
 * The introduction of her character further complicates or invalidates previously mentioned Cordonian laws of succession. According to Eirik, her claim to the throne surpasses the heir's until the latter is of ruling age. This would make Lena the Princess Regent (similar to Prince Regent George) if King "Liam" is incapacitated or possibly Queen Regent (similar to King/Queen-Regent) if King "Liam" is killed, thus modifying or nullifying the purpose of being engaged or married by the time of Coronation (an "ancient law" according to Regina to combat the Nevrakis claim to the throne) as it diminishes a potential spouse's role as Queen to possibly Queen consort.
 * She is a playable character in a premium scene of The Royal Finale, Chapter 4.
 * As 'The Fist', her crimes include treason, blackmail, aiding and abetting, extortion and possibly many more given that she willingly helped the organization with their plans throughout the years and is in charge of the Gladius Company.
 * In Chapter 8, she mentions that she founded the Gladius Company. Obtaining her dossier reveals that she is the youngest member of the Via Imperii to serve as 'The Fist'.
