Backstory[]
Season 2 Episode 1 - The Stowaway[]
Lena Cohen first appears in Season 2 Episode 1 of the show. She stowed away on Captain Barnabus' airship, the Rosemary, after running away from her hometown of Wintervale. She was only 13 years old, and joins Barnabus' crew, reasoning that "if she's going to stay, she might as well be useful".
Lena left Wintervale in pursuit of adventure - her first display of True Wind spirit. After joining the crew aboard the Rosemary, she worked hard to earn the trust of her crewmates. Lena cemented her position as a valuable member of the crew over the course of their Season 2 adventures, demonstrating her loyalty, as well as her skill with a cutlass.
Season 3 Episode 2 - Battle of the Isle of Mordedra[]
In Season 3 Episode 2, Lena has her first encounter with her future nemesis; Captain Drusilla Spadeworthe. Their ongoing conflict begins at the Battle of the Isle of Mordedra, in a one-on-one fight between the two. Their duel ends with Lena wounding Drusilla's thigh, and indirectly causing the death of her best crewmen - for which Drusilla has sworn vengeance on Lena.
Season 4 Episode 17 - To Sail Among Stars[]
During Season 4 Episode 17, Lena was made Second Mate aboard the Rosemary at the age of 15. Although she was young, she was respected for her courage and her loyalty to her crew and captain, and so the decision was a welcome one.
Personality[]
Lena is well known aboard the ship for her lively attitude. She likes to joke around with her shipmates and occasionally play a prank or two. She has a strong moral compass, and will always stand up for others. Lena is highly adventurous, and loves the thrill of a good sword fight or a highspeed chase. One of Lena's flaws is that she doesn't always listen to orders, and will often act on her own decisions before thinking things through. That being said, she is deathly smart, but can get caught up in things in the moment. Lena can also be a forgiving person, but if she is crossed, she can hold a grudge.
