Yelena was born and raised in a small town in Tuscany, Italy. Her parents were young when they had her and owned a popular cafe. The cafe was like a second home to Yelena, filled with the delicious smell of coffee and the happy chatter of customers. She often visited Florence with her parents, a city brimming with art and history that sparked her adventurous spirit.

Yelena excelled in school, getting good grades and making friends easily. University followed a similar path – strong academics, a lively social circle, and a future that seemed as dependable as a delicious pasta dish. After graduating, Yelena and her closest friends, a group who loved adventure, decided to backpack across Europe. They packed their bags, grabbed a map brimming with potential adventures, and set off to create lifelong memories.

During a peaceful camping trip in a remote European forest, their adventure took a terrifying turn. A brutal attack shrouded in darkness, and the chilling howls of unseen creatures shattered their peace. Yelena woke up injured, a vicious bite marking her skin. Having no knowledge of the supernatural world, she thought she was attacked by a wild animal, maybe a ferocious wolf.

However, the healing process was unlike anything she'd ever experienced. The bite wouldn't heal properly, a constant reminder of the horrific encounter. Over the next few weeks, an unsettling feeling took hold of Yelena. She felt an inexplicable pull towards something unknown, a primal instinct that gnawed at her.

One restless night, unable to shake off this disquiet, Yelena was drawn to a pulsating light in the distance. It led her to a hidden valley where a magnificent yet unsettling circus awaited. Unlike any circus she'd ever seen, the air crackled with unseen energy, and shadows danced behind the dazzling lights and captivating performances of strange creatures. Intrigued and inexplicably compelled, Yelena found herself on the edge of a world she never knew existed – a world of fangs, fur, and folklore, a world that, thanks to a werewolf's bite, was now a part of her.

Yelena is a firecracker, a whirlwind of warmth and charisma that lights up any room. Her smile disarms even the grumpiest customer at her family's cafe. She excelled in school, leaving professors impressed with her knowledge and entertained by her wit. Jokes are her specialty, keeping her friends in stitches with her effortless humor. Yelena has a natural charisma that draws people in. She finds common ground with anyone, making them feel like part of the group. Social interaction is her fuel. She thrives on the warmth of human connection.

Despite her exposure to the busy life of Florence and the family cafe, Yelena is surprisingly naive about the supernatural. Raised on the familiar sights of art and the comforting sounds of the coffee machine, creatures of myth and legend are just stories, not lurking realities. It's not a lack of intelligence but rather a sheltered life devoid of encounters with the fantastical. This refreshing innocence is about to be shattered. The werewolf bite will act as a trigger, destroying her sheltered world and throwing her into a world where the extraordinary isn't just natural but a part of her.
