Lene

A dancer and descendant of the high priest Bragi. She understands how the world works, but she doesn't let it get her down. Appears in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. Name: Lene Gender: Female Race: Human Age: 17 Relatives: Bragi (Ancestor), Silvia (Mother), Claud (Distant Relative), Coirpre (Younger Brother) Occupation: Dancer Weapon: Swords </Personal Information> Lene is a young teenage girl with fair skin, green eyes and long green hair tied into a ponytail with a pink bow. Her attire consists of a pink sleeveless crop top, a pink loincloth, a red shawl wrapped around her arms, gold loose bracelets and gold sandals. Overall, her outfit resembles a belly dancer's attire. Lene has a cheerful exterior but hides a more vulnerable and emotional side of herself deep within herself. This is attributed to the difficulties that she suffered after being abandoned by her mother. She wishes to find Silvia and became a self-taught dancer for that reason. If her father is Lewyn, she expresses her feelings of loneliness caused by growing up without ever knowing her parents. She also reveals to Lewyn that she has always felt as if her father has been looking out for her.

Lene also has a very realistic world-view, as she is aware that certain things must be done in order to survive, even if a person doesn't like it. This causes her to be quite bitter about the world itself, though she hasn't lost her heart completely.

Her profession is also shown the be the target of prejudice, as the characters seem to objectify or overall look down to dancers. Sometime after the Battle of Belhalla, Lene and Coirpre were abandoned by Silvia at an orphanage in Dahna. Fifteen years later, Lene is working as a dancer in Dahna, where she meets and gets close to Ares.

When Ares departs to fight for Javarro, Lene and Ares have a discussion, as she disapproves of Ares wanting to go to war and finds his grudge against Sigurd's son, Seliph, foolish. When Ares is far away, she refuses to become Bramsel's personal dancer, and she is thrown into the dungeon of Dahna's Castle. It is believed that she may have been further abused by him, but it's not fully clear.

The castle in which she is held as a prisoner is eventually seized by the rebels, and she is freed from her cage by Seliph, or a member of his army. She later meets Ares again when he is subjected under the army of Seliph, and he asks if she is ok, she answers negatively but is relieved to see him alive and well.

Later, Lene introduces herself to Seliph and is surprised when he flushes and acts flustered on her presence. She discovers that he never saw a dancer before, and she finds his awkwardness lovely.

In Chapter 9, Lene meets Coirpre for the first time in her life, although neither of them recognize each other. Coirpre reveals that he didn't think highly of dancers until he met Lene. Lene is skilled at dancing. She uses swords as her weapons.
