“Everyone deserves what they've earned! And I've earned this!”
—Lena, Super Mario Bros.
**Lena** was a Dinohattanite female and the assistant of president Koopa. She was also his significant other until she died trying to merge the dimensions.

## Biography

Lena resided in Koopa's Tower. Upon Daisy being taken into Koopa's Tower by Iggy and Spike, Lena began to display jealousy and resentment, fearing that Koopa is looking to replace her with Daisy. Nevertheless, she followed Koopa in his pursuit of obtaining the meteorite piece to merge the dimensions. She removed Daisy from the Goomba Barracks, and took her to her own personal room up on Koopa's Tower; Lena mentioned that it used to be her room before her "promotion". There, she informed Daisy that her mother is dead and that Koopa needed her in order to merge the dimensions of Dinohattan and Earth personally; Koopa believed only Daisy is able to merge the dimensions successfully, a prospect that Lena is skeptical of. Lena was alerted to the presence of Mario and Luigi at the Boom Boom Bar by the Hat Check Girl working there, and she arrived with a group of Goombas; the Goombas arrested Spike and Iggy, while Lena retrieved the meteorite piece after Mario and Luigi lost it in their attempts to thwart the Goombas.

Lena attempted to bring the meteorite piece to Koopa, who blew her off due to being angry and distracted. This upsetted Lena into to carrying out the mission without Koopa, intending to invade Earth for herself. She attempted to kill Daisy, but was thwarted by the royal pet, Yoshi. Daisy ran away as Yoshi pulled Lena towards him with his tongue, and she stabbed Yoshi with a knife and followed after Daisy. Koopa learned that Lena secretly made off with the meteorite and ordered her arrest; Sergeant Simon arrested Lena and confiscated the piece, which he turned over to Koopa.

During Koopa's battle with Mario, he lost the meteorite piece, and Lena covertly grabbed it while leaning over a railing underneath; the railing gave away and she fell onto wiring below, which electrocuted her. She survived the electrocution, but it left her severely burned and caused her hair to spike, giving it a gray streak. Lena laughed maniacally, the meteorite piece still in her possession, and ran into the meteorite chamber to merge the dimensions. As Daisy and Luigi run after her and warn her not to, she inserted the meteorite into the chamber and started the merging of the two dimensions; this created a massive power surge that vaporized Lena, with the blast shooting her skeletal remains into a wall and embedding it there. The skeleton's jaw drops down in an apparent drawing of last breath after Daisy realized that Koopa was right: only Daisy herself can withstand the force of the meteorite. Lena's actions are ultimately undone by Daisy and Luigi separating the dimensions via the latter's plumbing tools.

## Trivia

* The Lena skeleton prop used in the film has been repurposed as decoration for the Barbary Coast bar located in Wilmington, North Carolina.
* Lena's design appears to sport some pterosaur-like features as a possible reference to her ancestral lineage: she sports a beehive-like hairdo very reminiscent of a Pteranodon's long crest and her outfits often sport long, flowing capes resembling a pterosaur's massive wingspan.
