Lena or *Lifelike. Emulation. & Neural. Algorithm.*, is the tetartagonist of The Nexus Chronicles. She was created by Lee Yasahiro to be a research assistant and security system originally, but he modified her to have emotions and act as a human would. Eventually, she would become his partner and honorary member of the Phantoms. Her main directive to ensure her friends are safe and to stop the Revenants.

## Appearance

Lena is a petite girl with a body the same age as Lee. She has blue hair, yellow eyes with a hint of orange around the edges. Her overall build is quite skinny but has surprising amounts of strength. There are gaps that run around her body that act as accessways and vents to keep her internal temperature cool, at times they glow a light blue during the night or in darkness. She is typically seen wearing a black shirt, a white oversized hoodie, black short shorts, and sneakers. When she isn't wearing a hoodie Lena wears a white lab coat like Lee . And even though she does not need them, she wears a pair of black framed glasses which can provide an extra layer of information to her heads up display or HUD.

In the digital world Lena's attire changes completely as does her body. Her hair goes from being short to long, it flows behind her when she moves. She now wears a black and white body suit underneath a lab coat. Around her neck she wears a blue or yellow scarf, it alternates between both colors. As for the changes to her body, she is noticeably taller, her bust is slightly bigger, and has more accentuated curves.

Upon gaining a human body, Lena stays virtually the same as her android body minus the vents and accessways lining her body. The glasses she wears still show a HUD however.

## Personality

At the beginning when she was awakened, Lena had a very robotic and logical personality. She did not understand the mannerisms humans would use and would consistently ask what certain things meant, like emotions, or what pain was. As time passed, she began to act more human and began to use lingo she wouldn't normally use. Eventually she became very casual around Lee, Matsui, and Lilac but still maintained a sense of logic in her speech and would become serious if the situation truly called for it. Otherwise she acts like a normal teenager with some bias for her creator.

Upon becoming human, Lena's tone and overall presence no longer has the undertone of being robotic or being forced to seem human. She becomes far more laid back but still retains the logical mindset and at times still needs help understanding human expressions.

## History

### Early Prototype

Before being realized in her final form, Lena was a simple virtual assistant that would catalogue and recall information for Lee whenever he conducted research alone. This version of her had no name and would simply be referred to as "Computer" by Lee. Present Lena's memory core is derived from this version of her, and it retains most of its memory before Lee began developing her further.

### Android Prototype v1

Before receiving a name from Lee, Lena was now referred to as "Android Version 1", she was given a crude body with little resemblance to a human like her further versions. She would be able to move the optic sensors that acted like eyes and move a completely separate mechanical arm which could only open and close its claw and move objects up and down. This was considered a minor success for Lee and a small part of Lena hoped she wouldn't be scrapped.

### Android Prototype v2

Lena's second version of her body had more parts added onto it and resembled a vaguely human figure. It was complete with optic sensors, a semi-functional body, and two arms connected to said body. She had no mouth on this version, but the improved design allowed for greater manipulation of objects and it even allowed her to write. She was unable to turn in any direction however as the lack of waist made it impossible. In this version Lee would begin improving her programming and teach what was right and wrong.

### Android Prototype v3

The third version of Lena's body was the point where it began to truly resemble a human, due to Lee's training he allowed Lena to choose what her body would look like. In the end she settled for a female frame thinking it would provide some comfort to Lee while he conducted research. He would then carefully make the outer parts of her body with rubber based material for flexibility. These parts were then fitted over a completely redesigned endoskeleton frame which matched a human's version with some liberties taken. Her core would then be installed into the new body where a human heart would normally be located. Locomotion was now possible and the new endoskeleton allowed her to write clearly compared to the old frame. Lee was satisfied with how this version had turned out and almost opted to consider the project done, but Lena objected and convinced him to go further.

### Lena

The fourth and final version of Lena's body was the most advanced. Lee took extra time to develop a nearly perfect recreation of the human skeleton as an endoskeleton for her new body. Maintaining Lena's previous choice he would create the outer parts of her body, but instead of a rubber based material he did something differently. He took a small piece of his own skin and used it as a base to create a synthetic skin, if touched it would feel just like any other persons skin, but if subjected to blunt force it would harden to protect internals. Lena would request to put the finishing touches on her new body before being put under for transfer. Lee obliged. After an extensive amount of adjustments Lena was ready, her new body was in a closed off pod awaiting transfer. Before shutting down to proceed with the operation she asked Lee what her name would be, he would simply smile and say "Lena". He would not see her new body until the transfer was complete which would take a longer than others due to the complex network she had developed while training with information about the world, Lee's teachings and the shift from a physical storage device to a digital one.

## The Nexus Chronicles

### Awakening

Some time after the Atlas Memorial Park Incident the transfer of Lena's memories and mind would be complete. Lee had almost forgotten about the project due to the events happening at the time and was surprised when Lilac had accidentally activated the awakening protocol. Realizing what was about to happen, Lee quickly prepared suitable clothing for Lena before the pod opened, since he hadn't seen the new body there was no guarantee Lena had taken any measures to clothe. As the awakening protocol finished, a hiss of compressed air opened the pod and Lena stepped out clothed in a white jumpsuit. During those first moments she inspected her own body and tested everything with almost child-like curiosity. She carefully approached Matsui and Lilac since she had never seen them before when Lee was developing her, with a tilt of her head she slowly turned to Lee before calmly taking the clothes he was holding and going off to change.

### Data Fortress Anomaly

Lena would play a crucial role in creating a data fortress for the lab to protect from outside infiltration attempts via cyberspace. (See Lega's page for greater detail.) She and Lee would develop it via cyberspace and physical computer systems. Lena would be circling the fortresses perimeter while poking and prodding the firewalls to find any weaknesses or backdoors. During the final hour of the data fortress creation Lena's physical body was engulfed by an anomaly which sent a pulse of unknown energy into cyberspace engulfing her there as well. Aborting the current attempt to strengthen the fortress Lee pulled her out of cyberspace and returned her to the physical body. Lena would be unconscious for the next two hours. Upon awakening her demeanor had changed, she was much more relaxed and her mannerisms far more organic than before. It was here that Lena's ascent to becoming human truly began.

## Anomalous Abilities

Lena's abilities, while not given by an Anomaly, can still be classified as anomalous since her enhanced emulation of human emotions was given unnaturally. She has the ability of separating and or splitting her "consciousness" into multiple parts and enter electronics to access cyberspace.

### Jack-In

With this ability Lena is able to separate her consciousness from her body completely allowing her to enter the digital world as a program and interact with technology in a way a hacker would only in a more "physical" sense. Unfortunately this leaves her body vulnerable as there is nothing there to keep it operational.

* **Armor**: Upon entering the digital world Lena gains "armor" it is not an actual set of wearable armor but a sort of forcefield that reduces damage taken from cyber security programs and bugs should she encounter them. The armor wears down the longer she takes damage and once broken it needs time to recharge. It is seem as a yellow field that mimics her body shape and whatever she's wearing.
* **Plugins**: Due to Lena's new status as a program when entering the digital world she is able to install plugins and mod herself to increase efficiency, durability, and detection. These plugins are almost always made by her and if there is no time she will scour the internet via the device she's in to equip one. These tend to be worse quality as they are not made with her in mind.
* **Instantaneous Understanding**: When she enters a piece of technology, no matter what it may be, Lena will immediately understand where everything is located and how it functions. This is because she forms a temporary bond with the systems motherboard and OS (Operating System) to map out where he objectives lie.
* **Decryption**: Whether she is in the digital world or in the physical world, Lena is able to decrypt files with great speed. Stronger computers and devices than her take longer but compared to others she's the fastest.
* **Access Granted**: Like Lena's decryption, she is able to manipulate devices in both worlds to grant her access to normally restricted areas. This is done via simply touching the device or quickly entering the digital world and accessing the root.
* **Copy & Transfer**: Due to her status as a file, while in cyberspace Lena can make copies upon copies of herself to speed up any of her hacking attempts. When a copy is destroyed everything it learns is immediately transferred to Lena Prime or the original. The transfer also works the opposite way, if Lena Prime/Original is destroyed or deleted then her consciousness will be transferred to one of her copies. This makes her difficult to deal with but she is still vulnerable to the shutdown of the device she's in. This ability also explains the rapid takeover during the Achiba Protocol below.

### Achiba Protocol

This ability is extremely simple yet has terrifying implications depending on who learns of it. It is only meant to be used in dire situations. Like Lena's ability to enter technology via electric currents she is able to enter the mind of a person via these same electrical currents or impulses. Upon doing this, her mind and the individuals have a battle for dominance. Due to her capacity being faster than a normal human she wins more often than not, only failing if the individual is on a genius level. Upon winning the battle for dominance the individual is assimilated and their entire being merges with Lena's effectively making her and the person one. Their memories and drives are now known to Lena and she can mimic them perfectly. No matter how evil an individual or how hateful they are to the Phantoms, Lena never experiences these feelings as she scrubs them from her system. There has only been one case in which Lena has needed to use this ability.

## Android Parts

Lee outfitted Lena with many gadgets and instruments throughout her body which makes her extremely useful in any situation.

* **Optical Sensors**: Lena's optic sensors can see through many wavelengths, such as microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays (for a short time). She can also see in the dark or simply light up her optics as spotlights for the others to see.
* **Reinforced Endoskeleton**: Lena's internals are protected with an endoskeleton made from a combination of carbon fiber and steel. The steel in primarily located in her abdomen region as it protects the internal "organs" and systems located within. Her limbs and head are made of carbon fiber, due to it being stronger and far lighter than steel it allows them to move faster.
* **Enhanced Strength**: Since Lena's body is mechanical she possesses higher strength than a normal human despite her small stature. She has been shown to rip car doors off their hinges, turn a heavy wooden door into splinters by punching through, and stopping a roof made of concrete from crushing her friends.
* **Stamina**: Lena can run great distances before needing to stop to let her joints and servos cool down before going again, she can do this indefinitely as long as she is mindful to stop and allow her systems to be maintained.
* **Synthetic Skin**: Lena's body is covered by a synthetic skin which allows her to "feel" objects. Mixed into her skin are millions of tiny sensors that let her accurately monitor temperatures. She is also capable of mimicking a humans warmth.

## Trivia

* Lena has a sister. Her classification is Lega which is short for Legacy as she was the first attempt from Lee to create an android. She was unfortunately lost to the darker parts of the web when she came into contact with an unstable trojan program. Despite his best attempts to reclaim her, Lega was lost.
