Bio: Elena is the 5th and youngest child of Kastor Mariksen and Eve Mariksen. Her older siblings Felix, Charles, Amberley and Bernhardt. Compared to her siblings, who were tough, confident and assertive, Elena was shy, awkward and timid. Despite these traits, her parents and 2 of her siblings adored her. Though the only ones she never truly got along with were Felix and Amberley, who occasionally bullied her for being a weakling.

The Mariksen family came from a long line of soldiers who had served in the Canadian forces for over 2 centuries. Kastor (a retired general of the Canadian Grand Army) had proudly served and fought in the army for over 30 years. Being from a family of soldiers, Kastor aspired his children to follow in his footsteps and continue his family’s tradition by joining the military once they came of age. Felix, Charles and Amberley eventually joined the military after graduating college, though Bernhardt instead went on to become a police officer.

When Elena, then 18, graduated high school, Elena told her father that she didn’t want to attend military college, and wanted to be an animator. Though he was somewhat disappointed in her choice of career, he nonetheless accepted it. A month later, Elena went to Washington D.C. to apply for an animation university that she had found in the internet. Before she left, her father gave her 40,000 dollars for her livelihood and school funds. When she arrived in Washington, she bought a small house neighborhood house. After a nearly a year, she dropped out due to finding animating difficult.

After two months of searching for another college, she found “Darien’s Grand University of Washinton”, one of the largest college’s in the U.S. (Constructed more than 60 decades ago). The university offered several courses, and after heavy consideration, took on a Teacher training course. It was in DGUW that she met her closest friend, a wolf named Jain Sahrik. Jain was studying Science and Engineering, and was having great difficulty with her course. The two bonded when Elena helped Jain with her course. Jain in turn defended Elena from bullies, and once got suspended for beating up a couple of students when they mercilessly tormented on her.

One day, when Elena was with Jain at her home, Jain decided that she wanted to take their friendship further into “Friends with benefits”, and Elena found herself being kissed passionately by Jain. Elena was at first confused by this, but ultimately became attracted to Jain. At one point, they made passionately love together. Despite this, they never progressed from being “friends with benefits”, because several months after Jain’s 21st birthday, Jain and her guardian Ahriman (whom Elena developed a crush on), became romantically involved. Elena wasn’t worried about this development, since it didn’t change her and Jain’s relationship.
