Biography: The Baas family was always one of the most powerful political forces in the Netherlands, occupying some of the most important public positions in the government. Lena was born the fourth of five children; given immediate expectations to do her family proud. From a young age, she understood her family’s influence over her country, and she was determined to grasp that power, and bring the Baas clan even more glory.
She has always been very sociable, being able to interact and befriend just about everyone she felt like. This charm is her main strength, and has sometimes even been used as a weapon for Lena to get what she wanted. She performed very well in school, among the best, even, and her family felt their expectations being fulfilled before their very eyes.
As she began to grow older, she developed political tactics from her parents. She began to speak in a way so that people wanted to hear her. She told some people inspirational things, even if it was only what they wanted to hear; the mark of a politician. Sometimes, she would even manipulate people emotionally to get something out of them.
Despite that, Lena didn’t mean ill will, rather she would do anything she felt necessary to help her community prosper. Well-intentioned evil, as some would put it. She just wanted to lead people to the greater good; at least what she interpreted as the greater good.
Her life was pretty much always on a high up to this point. Naturally, however, the Baas family always had their detractors and opponents, especially from opposing political parties. One unfortunate night, a man who had always held a hatred for her family’s politics, along with a sort of gang of about four others, formulated a plot to assassinate the family. Elaborately, they were somehow able to break into their home, bypassing their security. Luckily, the family bodyguard was alert enough to realize someone had broken in just in time to wake everyone else up.
What followed was a huge scuffle. With the police contacted immediately, the family had to hide around the house. The gang of assassins has managed to take out the bodyguard, and continued the search. Two of them had found the room Lena was located in. They were just about to find her, but one of her brothers had caught the two off guard, and managed to snatch one of their weapons and knock them both out long enough for the two to escape. By then, the police had arrived, and the remaining assassins were forced to retreat, being caught in the process. This was all very scaring to Lena, who had never dealt with something so dramatic in her life. In fact, she nearly hyperventilated during those moments leading up to her brother saving her.
After the incident, the family’s security was ramped up severely. Lena, meanwhile, came to an understanding that things like this would happen if she continued to be even associated with her family, and began trying to keep herself calm in any situation she might have trouble with. Because of this, Lena rarely freaks out when stressed, instead opting to focus more on the bright side of things.
By high school, she had mastered the art of being a leader. She had become an excellent campaigner, and she knew how to socialize in a way that made people want her in power. She finally participated in her first true election: Student Body President, which she won by a landslide, only as a sophomore, even. She enjoyed her position of power, and she used it to help her classmates however she saw fit, even with some more questionable methods. She became so popular that she was re-elected President the next year, something completely unprecedented in the school at the time.
It was inevitable that Hikami Academy would notice her, really. She had everything going for her; rich and famous parents, a natural skill, her groundbreaking success, it all made her a perfect candidate to be amongst the other Ultimates. Thus, they gave her the letter, she and her family accepted, and it turned out to be the worst mistake of her life.
