she has a very very very difficult time saying no to people, at the expense of her own wellbeing and sanity. five years of this on a global scale finally catches up with her during endwalker, where she has many meltdowns and is Tired.

late 30s, whatever fits with what was likely the first garlean incursion into rabanastre, where she was born! i haven't gotten any more specific because the game set up that time bubble nonsense. i guess i could get more specific, i'm already rearranging the plot extensively.

not entirely sure how accurate these are, but lena got orchid and theia got iris (which tickles me, because the three chemistry ones for iris are all flowers linked to remembrance). i tried taking it as both emet and hyth and wasn't satisfied with the results, which tells me i have work to do.

pretty accurate, though i admit i'm not quite clear on what the bottom scale indicates. the rest of it is spot-on.

the first time, i haven't figured out yet, but some subsequent time it was for acting without permission in a way that got others hurt or killed AND for not calling for backup from others of the convocation.

and this one too

and this one stashed here as well, my azem definitely needs more detail!

stashing this here for when i need prompting!

vanaspati, no question. seeing her own people turn into monsters was horrible, seeing the monster that 1) used to be someone she knew and 2) looked exactly like a monster that theia also saw, and knowing how many people had lost their homes and livelihoods and families as the jungle burned 1/2

depends on the activities tbh! basicass missionary is always incredible for much of anything; for anal, mating press and cowgirl are also extremely good. lena definitely prefers facing whoever she's with, but with two partners that's not always possible. #NSFWwolqotd

eh. marriage isn't necessary when the people involved are who they are, but it might be a fun way to celebrate it, after things have calmed down. (i'd have to look into what thavnarian weddings might be like, as compared to eorzean.)

btw, in my own writing, lena was able to bond with emet-selch and turn him from his canon path, and then later with zodiark's demise they were able to get hythlodaeus back as well. so anything about pairings/sex/love/etc is going to reflect this.

negligible, not counting her ears. in my writing i've got emet slowly returning to his pre-sundering height, but as of shadowbringers, she's actually a tiny bit taller (which would be remedied if emet wasn't slouching under the weight of 12,000 years).

given that she's very physically oriented anyway with people she cares about, the only real signs are slightly nervous behavior (less eye contact, chewing her lip, etc) OR lingering looks and more receptive body language.

lena arrived in eorzea as a dancer, no starting jobs or anything like that. and while she trained in thavnair with troupe falsiam, she wasn't part of that group. i love job stones but they def feel like a video game component to me, so no one in my writing is going to have them, probably.
