Lena was born in Joliet, Illinois to a 34 year old mother and 20 year old father. Her parents were a mismatched couple in every possible way. Her mother was of American decent with no family of her own; her father came from a large Greek family. Their marriage tore that happy Greek family apart; not only because of the age different, but because of the culture barrier. Still, even with their major differences, they clicked. They married and Lena was brought into the world two years later.
Her parents lived in a small rental house while her father went to night school to earn a degree to support his family. Her mother was an artist, trying to make a living selling off paintings. For the first four years of Lena's life, they struggled. After her father finished school, things started looking up. He managed to get a steady job in with good pay, and they bought the rental house and two years later, brought home another baby: Cassidy.
As a six year old, Lena was a little jealous of the new baby. Her baby sister, however, loved Lena to pieces; she hung all over her which irritated her even more. By the time Cass turned five, they went everywhere together. If Lena wanted to go outside, Cassie was right behind her. Lena grew used to it, as if Cass was her own personal shadow.
In school, Lena was always the good one. She was the kid that sat in a corner of the lunchroom with a sketchbook and pencil. No one picked on her, but she wasn't winning prom queen either. To be honest, she liked it that way; Lena enjoyed her quiet time away from the drama. Out of school, she had a few older friends from around the small town. In her senior year she started dating one of her longtime friends: Russel. He was perfect for her in every way; they had known each other for years, and fit together like missing puzzle pieces. She kept the relationship hidden from her parents for the first few months- they had never been big on letting her date- then, her sister found out.
Cassidy did not like Russ, mainly because he took all of Lena's time. Cass was jealous, but when she told her parents, they did not give the reaction she had been hoping for- they were thrilled. Sulking, Cass reacted by becoming more and more rebellious and shying away from her family.
Lena and Russ dated for five long years. Their relationship blossomed in that time, and they grew to love each other more and more with each passing year. They moved in together after Lena got her associates degree. Her relationship with her sister, however, grew distant. Cassidy became the bad girl in school; her grades slipped and she started skipping school. Lena tried to set things right with her hundreds of times, but it only made things worse. Then, one day, Russ proposed. Lena was shocked, even more so when he told her a secret that he had been hiding from her since they had met: Russ was descended from the Quilette Indian tribe; he was a werewolf. At first, Lena laughed. The picnic he had set up had been staged perfectly as Ross had planned and he transformed, causing Lena to run off screaming. She packed her bags with tears in her eyes and booked a plane ticket to Seattle.
Two weeks after arriving, Lena decided to get out of the city and move to a quieter town on the outskirts that seemed more like home: Forks. It was there that she discovered that she was pregnant with Russ's child.
*I'll update with information on what happened after she arrived in Forks later on.*
