Lena, also known as the Dragon Lady (died June 14, 2006), was a criminal who worked for Alistair Crane; she was classified as a terrorist by the FBI. Lena and Spike Lester were responsible for a murder that then-couple Noah Bennett and Maya Chinn witnessed when they were in college. Alistair, who hated the fact that his beloved granddaughter, Fancy, was dating the blue-collar Noah, used this to orchestrate an elaborate hoax designed to break the two up. Noah and Maya were forced to pretend to be a couple so that Lena would not harm Fancy, leading Fancy to believe that Noah was cheating on her. Lena eventually revealed that she and Maya had been working for Alistair right before she prepared to shoot Noah; Noah and Maya escaped, however, and fled to the roof. Lena grabbed a metal bar and prepared to spear Noah and Maya with it, but she was struck by lightning and killed on June 14, 2006, before she could do so.
Lena was portrayed by Meredyth Hunt on a recurring basis from January 26 to June 14, 2006.

Famous quotes containing the word lena:
“General McLaidlaw: Lena will never marry. She’s not the marrying sort. I see no reason to worry. There’s enough to care for her for the rest of her life.
Mrs. McLaidlaw: I suppose you’re right, dear. I’m afraid she is rather spinsterish.
General McLaidlaw: What’s wrong with that. The old maid’s a respectable institution. All women are not alike. Lena has intellect and a fine solid character.”
—Samson Raphaelson (1896–1983)
