Description:

Small and easily overlooked, Léna appears in all ways to be a Haitian teenage runaway. She wears baggy clothes with quite a bit of 70's punk elements to her fashion. She is always carrying a backpack full of paint cans, and either riding or carrying her skateboard. In all physical aspects, Léna fits in with the other street kids running the streets at night.

Léna doesn’t leave her Haven unarmed or unequipped for dangerous situations. She carries a Sig P365 in a back holster and a pair of karambit knives on each hip. For the occasional need for BASE jumping, Léna wears a Intrudair Camera skydiving jacket under her normal hoodie.

Although Léna appears young to most casual observers, her true age shines through her youthful features with those people she chooses to speaks to. Her thick French accent is very noticeable, even though she speaks English fluently. Léna has a gathering of street kids that look up to her and protects her. They are very fanatical in their devotion to her.

Noticeable Features: Charisma •••

Overview:

Léna is first and foremost an artist. She prides herself on the reputation she has gained among the underground graffiti scene. Her art is described as entrancing and sometimes deeply disturbing. She paints many different styles, but most of her art includes Vodou and Lwa (Loa) imagery.

To the enlightened, her tags are a secret cant only known among certain Vodou practitioners and Kindred circles. Léna’s service are often sought out by coteries in cities to tag their domains with warning symbols to other vampires that might unknowingly poach in their territory.

Factions and Beliefs:

Although Léna claims a passing allegiance to the Anarchs of a city she finds herself in, she is ultimately an Independent. She holds no love for the Camarilla though, and generally steers clear of cities they are in absolute control of. Deciding early on in her undeath that those fools are the same oppressors she dealt with while alive.

Léna follows and abides by the edicts of the Church of Set, like the majority of her fellow Ministry clan members. Her interpretation of the Church’s vision, blends seamlessly into her personal Vodou religious beliefs. She has a small cult of devoted followers (called a Sanpwel) that are the only real sect she is loyal to. Léna is their protector and patron Lwa; their champion against the horrors of the night.

The Sanpwel enforces The Seven Conditions amongst its members and anyone that interacts with its followers. These violations include disrespect of the Simbi; killing a member, abuse of the Lwa (wraiths); slander or injury which deprives a member of their livelihood, stealing or harming a child, speaking ill of the Sanpwel, and defacing a holy site, shrine or religious artwork.
