Personality
She is determined to get her revenge on Ansel. As soon as you bring up his name, she tells you she's onboard with being your muscle. Unlike Uppercut Jones, she isn't afraid to use violence to solve her problems, as shown when she beats up a group of bikers that were harassing her. She seems to be used to working by herself, given that she seems genuinely surprised if you attack a biker who was sneaking up on her. She believes she is better at ass-kicking than sweet-talking.

Your Character
You can choose to recruit either Lena or Uppercut Jones to be your crew's muscle. If you choose her, she and your chosen thief help break Eris out of prison. There you discover she has a hard time faking or lying. In Chapter 7, when asked for her suggestion to get information from Ulrich, her go-to idea is beating him up.
Ansel Crane
Ansel is Lena's ex and former boss. When they had met, they were both outcasts. He told her that he never fit in with the crews he used to work with; despite his newfound fame, he was more alone than ever, and she was insecure. Now, she wants to get revenge on him. If you recruit her, she beats him up in Chapter 15.
Anton Edison
If Anton is your hacker, they don't interact much except when Anton asks to be the "bad cop" to her "good cop" and when she escorts him to the main security office of the palace. When she knocks out a guard, he's mad she wasted an opportunity for a cool one-liner until she tells him that she doesn't do one-liners. "I don't do one-liners is a dope one-liner." And to her surprise, she agrees with him.
Samira Yazdi
If Samira Yazdi is your hacker, she tells Lena that even though she tries to teach Lulu not to resort to violence, she is all for Lena beating Ansel in the name of a scorned woman.
