Lena Gibby
25 - Cancer - Front Desk Assistant - 5'5 - Raven Reyes/Lindsey Morgan 
“If you don't think I'm a princess, you're a hundred percent right. I'm the fucking queen.”
Appearance Details
From her strong jaw and strong eyebrows to her lean and toned body, Lena exhales confidence. She stands at 5'5 tall but seems somehow to look taller, maybe an illusion from her lean legs. Her brown hair extends well to the middle of her back, and she usually wears it in a ponytail. She has a delicate nose, full lips, and brown almond eyes. Her tan skin shows her Latino heritage.
Characterization
Born and raised in Rushford, Lena lives with her family in a big property. The terrain has been in the family for generations and is currently owned by Lena's grandmother, Elizabeth. The two-story house is surrounded by a huge garden with flowers and vegetables and what they call "The Forest". Most of her free time Lena will spend in the forest, lying in a hammock and reading a book, or helping her grandmother in the garden. Ever since she was a girl she took an interest in gardening and over the years she learned how to identify plants and herbs. Elizabeth also raised chickens and fishes in the big pond behind the house.
She lives with her parents and younger sister in her grandmother's house. She was always close to Elizabeth, and when the elder fell ill with Alzheimer's, Lena took online classes and courses to become her grandmother's caregiver. She reduced her work hours to part-time so she can spend more time taking care of Elizabeth and her beloved garden. Lena took after her grandmother in the sense that she loves harvesting vegetables and cooking, and everything had always been available right at their backyard.
Lena is determined and never lets anything stop her. When she was a kid she had a great interest in sports, but her asthma made it harder for her to participate. She didn't let that stop her, though, and took every effort possible to overcome her shortcomings, eventually getting proficient in volleyball and running. Still, she can't go anywhere without her inhaler, and she often suffers from asthma attacks. All the cardio work definitely paid off, however, helping decrease the number of attacks she has over the years. She doesn't go a day without going for a run.
She has a strong character and won't let people tell her what to do. She can be as stubborn as a mountain against the wind, but she's strong-willed and will get what she wants. However, she's not irrational -- she recognizes when she needs to follow orders for the best of the situation, she just prefers to follow herself. She speaks her mind and isn't afraid of what others will think of her.
She wasn't at home when the chaos ensued, and after a week she still hasn't been able to get back to her house and check on her family. For all she knows, the property could be overrun and her family could be dead, but she's still hoping for the best.
