[color=#FF8F42]BACKGROUND:[/color] Born in Olomouc, Czech Republic, Alena's biological parents died in a flood when she was four years old and she was adopted by a gamekeeper and a butcher. Her adoptive father's vocation led her to the outdoors and heavily influenced her decisions regarding her future, eventually leading to enrolling in a bachelor’s gamekeeping program at the Mendel Universty in Brno at 21.

In 2010, Alena got the opportunity to take a semester abroad, choosing the United States. She was out on a three-day deer hunt in the woods of New York with one of her professors, Dr. Mason, when the outbreak happened. Despite having ran out of supplies by the end of their planned outing, which the apocalypse had extended indefinitely, the two promptly turned around and fled back into the woods, reasoning that avoiding cities would be a safer bet and set out South where winters would be more easily survivable.

Trekking across New York, Pennsylvania and clipping the edge of Maryland, staying out of the way and only approaching smaller settlements to resupply, they eventually found themselves in Virginia when their luck turned away. With their medical supplies slowly depleted over the months, and after a bout of ilness left them dangerously low on water, they reluctantly decided to enter Virginia Beach in hopes of restocking on specialized supplies the small towns either didn't have or that had been picked clean by others. This unfortunate decision led to the death of Dr. Mason at the hands - well, teeth - of the infected, leaving her to find her own way out of the city.
