Lena Warren

INTRO BLURB

## Personality

Lena's always been a little quiet for a Brujah. But when something pisses her off, she's always one of the first to argue against it, whether it's yelling at the Baron from the middle of a crowded auditorium, attacking a murderous Toreador in a rage frenzy, or telling a member of the Inner Circle "*fuck no*." Raised into unlife by a true believer of the Anarch cause, Lena herself is a fierce supporter of the Movement, and has spent many years helping it reach its goals.

Lena loves the abilities granted to her by her clan and wants to get stronger to protect people and further the cause, but with her growing power comes an ever-increasing fear of losing control and hurting someone. Clan Brujah's curse is nastily ironic, and Lena knows it all too well.

## Relationships

### Allies

* *Coterie*
	+ Ella †
		- Ella was a wild card without direction. She just objectively *didn't know* what was wrong or right sometimes, and Lena tried to give her a guiding hand on at least one occasion. Ella lived in her own little world and was weird as fuck, but Lena still thinks about her sometimes.
	+ Jordan
		- Not going to lie? Lena sees him as kind of a dickhead. But he's a real Anarch, and he's fought for Portland for all these years, so Lena feels she owes him loyalty as a fellow member of the cause. Plus, he's close with Nines, who Lena kind of thinks is really fucking cool.
		- 2121 Lena and Jordan have worked together relatively frequently in the past couple of decades, Lena as kind of an unofficial deputy.
		- It's kind of nice having another bruiser in the coterie.
	+ Rosalind Galatea
		- Rosalind seems nice, and her cybernetics are pretty fucking cool. Lena has no clue who she is, but she'll fight for her if necessary- though, that might just be the blood bond talking.
	+ Sonia
		- Lena had considered Sonia a friend for a long time, despite Ruth warning her not to trust a Setite. After Skeeter Deeter called a bloodhunt on the both of them and their sires stayed behind to fight, Lena and Sonia had a little heart to heart outside their hideout, where Lena revealed that she had a broodmate named Marigold.
		- Lena had only occasional chance to see Sonia's moral degradation throughout 2021. Sonia usually did her dealings behind the coterie's backs, but the one time Lena took full notice and confronted her about it, Sonia lied effectively enough to pass off the blame to another person.
		- In the century since, Lena's seen the kind of shit Sonia is willing to do to people. The portion of Portland that was negotiated to the Setites during the brief war with the Camarilla became an absolute shithole within months, and soon after, Lena's house was burnt down by a group of neonates angry with her connection to Sonia. Honestly? After seeing what the Setite did to so many people, Lena really can't blame them at this point. Come on, Sonia. We were friends.

* *Anarchs*
	+ Ruth Hudson † - Sire
		- Lena loved Ruth dearly. Ruth had saved Lena from her old life and had given her not only power and direction, but love and support, stating to her many times that she saw her as her own daughter. Lena felt the same.
		- Ruth happily sacrificed her own safety many times for Lena, who only felt guiltier each time she did so.
		- Lena will never forgive herself for letting her die.
	+ Wayne Howarth
		- In the words of our Storyteller, Lena and Wayne knew each other "intensely, but briefly." Lena asked Wayne for the favor of learning Fortitude one day in 2021, and it kind of snowballed from there.
		- She thought his lava lamp collection was cute.
		- Wayne fought with her and the coterie multiple times, and outright saved them all at least twice.
		- Wayne was forced to join the Camarilla for 100 years under blood contract, and when he returned, he was not quite the same Kindred that Lena had loved. He'd fallen hook, line, and sinker for the Camarilla's shit, and Lena has never felt so fucking betrayed. Sure, the Camarilla is more powerful and efficient- but what pieces of himself had Wayne given up in joining it?
	+ Silas "Sailboat" Tichondrius
		- Lena has a lot of respect for Sailboat. He's a competent leader, and overall just a genuinely nice guy. Getting rarer amongst kindred these days, it seems.

### Enemies

* *Sabbat*
	+ White Eyes †
		- Lena has mixed feelings on this guy, honestly. Though it was primarily for his own gain, White Eyes (along with Wayne and Sailboat) saved her and the coterie when Lena and Sonia were bloodhunted by Skeeter Deeter. Lena also punched him partway into a brick wall when she frenzied upon learning that Ruth had likely died, and he retaliated with blackmail that Ruth later paid off, so... he's an asshole, but not as much as he could have been, really.
		- Ruth was in his pack during her Sabbat days, and it's weird knowing that this greasy asshole kinda used to fuck your mom.
	+ Jean-Cloud
		- Lena's evil grandsire.
		- He's an asshole, but a mostly polite one, at least. 2021 Lena was incredibly unnerved by him, and preferred not to speak to him at all.
		- Lena helped beat him down when he accused Sonia of trying to summon a demon. He was shipped back off to the Sabbat, and it was the last time she heard anything about him for many decades.
