Profile
Lenka Aetόs 
- Her pupils are white hearts in both gijinka and feral form!
- Her ears come to a rounded point
- The fanged tooth is non-negotiable on the feral form.
+ Positive + {Colorful, Sincere, Heroic}
Growing up in such a joyous place, Lenka had grown to be quite the upbeat character, her smiles infectous and her words able to motivate even the most sadsack of people. It's quite inspiring actually. Her joyful nature can often be read as her being naieve or even a bit dull when it comes to smarts but that's what she wants people to think. She's not one for lies though, most everything that comes out of her mouth is genuine and what she believes to be true. There's an ernestness to it that people in her hometown would find admirable if not a little too honest. It doesn't take much for her to harness her courage and stand up for others, even if they are complete strangers. She doesn't need to know you for her to want to make sure you are safe and out of harm. She'll typically do anything to do what's right.
= Neutral = {Daring, Talkative}
Always one to take a chance, Lenka is willing to stick her neck out on a whim if something seems like it would be fun! Which, always falls one of two ways. Most people would consider this a detriment to her, but it's also what had got her to where she is in life, so she'll count it for something. She's usually the one to confront others on her teams behalf, not because she's the only one brave enough but because she lacks the shame of secondhand Embarassment. She also does a lot of the talking, which-- with how she is is usually not a great thing. She likes people, she likes to learn about people, so it's hard to get her to stop once she's started. The best course of action is to excuse yourself before it's too late.
- Negative - {Boisterous, Rigid, Crude}
Loud. That's one word people often think of when they describe Lenka, she's unashamed of it too, and it often comes at a detriment. She can reel it in of course, but. Sometimes she just gets excited okay? It's hard for her to control her volume, and normally she doesn't realize when she's being overwhelming, but she's pretty good at stopping herself when called on it. She's also very opinionated when it comes to people. If she's formed an opinion on you or something you've done it's. Very hard for her to change her mind. It's not impossible, sure, but you'll have to put in the work to change hoe she feels about you. Lenka also, growing up around a lot of sailors has adapted the mouth and the humor of one, helping out at the docks meant that she learned a lot of things that maybe she shouldn't have at a young age and has incorporated those things into her lexicon.
- She has a nutso amount of upper body strength from helping her mom around the house and doing odd-jobs around town as a kid.
- She's a lesbian, and is a sucker for super femme presenting people. She goes tongue tied easily.
- She still writes to her mother extremely often, really as soon as she gets a response she sends another out.
- Technically she kidnapped a noble but this is fine, the two are out of that jurisdiction. Also, Eneas was willing.
- Is so good at jump rope it's almost scary.
Note: This background features two transgender characters referred to as their AGAB. It’s done so as this is an intrinsic part of their character that I do not want to gloss over. As someone who is trans myself, this is not done out of transphobia, but as an important part of their upbringing. It’s not done out of hate, either. Every Trans experience is different, and if these characters would refer to their younger selves as a daughter/girl/son/boy respectively that’s how I will refer to them so that is not confusing.
CW For minor mention of Parental death, Running Away, and brief mentions of arranged marraige.
As far as she could remember, it was only her mother and her. According to her mom, her father had suffered from an illness and passed away when she was a year old, and she hears stories about him often.
About how the two married young for convenience, she was always struggling on her own, so having his large family and a husband that loved her… It was bliss. Young Lenka loved hearing those stories, about their adventures outside of the Isle of Glass, the people they’ve met… She wanted to have that one day.
But, she had to focus on the present. Her mother was suffering, and she needed to keep herself grounded to make sure mom was happy! So she did her best to be a good kid, of course there were hard moments– her mother was stressed… But those moments never lasted and the young girl would never hold it against the woman.
When she was around ten, she started working as a dockhand, just to bring in some money, and it helped that they liked her enough to share some of the haul to bring home to her mother. She learned a lot, and met a lot of people… It’s giving her a taste of the real world. The world beyond Nymphamos.
It wasn’t too long after that she had met Eneas, a child of the noble family that oversaw the city, and they hit it off almost immediately. Lenka showing him all of the best local places for cheap food, the best places to hang out, and she would, along with the people down at the docks, show him the dances of the commonfolk. Eneas, to her, was absolutely enchanting.
As they grew and met more and more often, the two decided that they were soulmates, and that their ‘forbidden love’ would triumph all. And honestly? They did date for quite a long time.
Of course, she had to tell her mother, that she had been dating the child of the Iordanu family, and while the woman was not shocked, she had to explain quite a bit to her. Explain that while possible, it likely won’t be forever, as he has a duty to marry rich and bear a child to continue the legacy with a name of note. And then came the talk of the Birds and the Beedrills which. Was probably more mortifying to her mother due to the teens earnest nature. She had a lot of questions.
A lot of questions.
That talk actually led to her confiding something to her mother, questions about her identity and if certain things were okay. To which her mother responded warmly and with care. And by the end of that night, Lenka felt as if she was born anew, like a heavy part of her was left behind, and her mother couldn’t be more proud of her daughter.
Of course though, even with her newfound revelation, that didn’t change who she was, and she still went to work as normal, and– to her absolute delight, even after coming forward, she was still just treated as One Of The Guys. Which to her? Was perfect. Of course there were jokes, but all of them were in good fun, and Lenka ribbed them right back. If anything? It brought them closer.
The summer of that year, Lenka did have a talk with Eneas, a romantic picnic under the stars where the two bared their souls for the other to see. It was– corny, yes, but it was a conversation that needed to happen. Eneas confessed that he had also been feeling the same way, that he had been agonizing over it for months. And something between them changed. For the better. No longer the Only Son and Eldest Daughter, but they were just Lenka and Eneas. A young woman and a young man, with not a care in the world. It felt as if they were flying.
They broke it off romantically after that, the two not really. Compatible in any validating way, and plus– they worked better as friends anyway, right? They were still inseparable.
Life continued as normal for her, taking odd jobs around town to save up money on top of her work at the docks, wanting to help out her mother in any way she could for the long term.
Eneas would also still confide in her, about the man he was set to marry. How he thought his identity was a laugh, and that got her gears turning.
They were going to run away together.
The night before the wedding, Lenka showed up, and stole him away, promising that he could find a life better for him outside those manor walls. That he didn’t have to play pretend princess for a man who didn’t love him.
And the two slipped onto a fishing boat that was headed to an unknown port, the only people that knew were the loyal townsfolk as well as Lenka’s mother.
Landing in a port town, the two would do odd jobs for a few years, Lenka slotting in unhappily at their docks– it felt like less of a family… And Eneas would stay at home and write his novels, ones that he would publish under a pseudonym.
–Until the night they were flagged down on the way back from the market by apair of strangers. One clad in blue, the other green. Lenka had heard of the GSCF before, some of the men she’s worked with were former members… But taking over as the leaders of their team? Well that sounded like a lot of fun!
Her co-leader and best friend. Her Confidant. Her boo-boo keys. Her silly rabbit. She loves to embarass him, it's funny how red he can get.
