Brief History: Elena's parents died in a car crash in 1973. She then moved from foster home to foster home. At first the foster mothers chose her for her pretty blond hair and blue eyes. After they realized they couldn't take care of a child as traumatized as Elena was, she was sent to another foster home. Due to the trauma she suffered, she refused to talk and spent many nights screaming. As she grew up, the foster fathers took notice of her for her innocence. They tended to come to her at night and sexually abuse her. As she reached her teen years she toughened up a lot and started running and track and field. She realized that they couldn't reach the Elena that was inside of her. They never touched her after this since they realized she was no innocent child anymore.

Elena met Holt Danvers at The University Of Toronto in 1988. She needed a job to fund her college years, and Holt suggested she could be his teacher's aide. What started as a friendship grew until they started dating, eventually becoming engaged. The future promise of happiness was lost when Holt was killed in a car accident a week before their wedding day during a flash flood.

A few years later, approaching the anniversary of her fiance's death.. Elena would meet Lyanna Snow, altering her life forever.
