Born with a poker face, will die with a poker face. Born Elena, will die Elektra. A result of a one night stand, raised by a troubled mother. A new man every week, none of them cared for Elena. Not that her mother cared for her either. Lots of parties every weekend, she would even let her daughter join when she couldn’t fall asleep due to the noise. A drugdealer part time. Putting Elenas life in danger multiple times when they came over to buy drugs and wasn’t satisfied with the service. A rough life, but at the end of the day, she quickly learned to take care of herself. Never met her father, he’s probably even worse than her mother. An older man, a womanizer. When Elena was born he was 50. 8 children; he’s been around.
Never good in school, not that she showed up. Many people would never guess that amount of brain this blondie has. If she had just used it for something better. She was 16, when her mother overdosed. She was the one who found her. Not feeling any sadness, not any longing; she lost her mother years before. It was just a wake up call. Her mother died alone in her final years with no one to truly care for her.
Moved to the streets; she knew she would be put in a foster home, and she knew she had to avoid that. A girl for the streets, a girl no one could care about. Searching for a job just to survive until a man finally hired her. Victor. He saw her desperation, offering her a job in an exchange for something darker: a promise of food, a place to stay, or some kind of escape from her traumatic life. Hired as a showgirl, but as the years went by, more was expected from her. She was always too high or drunk to deny. 8 years in the club, she’s become a celebrity at Elysium. Elektra, her stage name. Groomed, manipulated, convincing her that her worth is based on her physicality. She never snaps back, letting him touch her wherever he wants. A need to survive, he’s turned her into his little puppet.
Wanting to leave, wanting to escape. But it’s the only stability she has ever known and here she is wanted. Not knowing a life outside it. Elektra belongs to the city - everyone’s to touch.
Surrounded by dangerous men. Criminals, drug dealers, that’s the type of people that comes in, expecting her to take off her clothes to them.
Not trusting anyone, she only has herself. Independent and tough. Learned to take care of herself at a young age. Not believing in fairytales or happy endings; she has seen the worst of people. A small group of friends, she is loyal to them, but never expecting anything from them. Emotionally unavailable, trust issues is a common problem for her. A deep fear of emotional commitment coming from the instability she witnessed in her mother’s relationships. May giving you her body, but not her heart very easily. Her sexuality is her weapon, it’s a way of gaining control and attention.
Outside Elysium, experiencing loneliness. Spending her nights as Elektra, and work outs and books by daytime. Her body is a tool and she treats it like that. Yearns for an escape, that’s what she always does: run away. Looking for a redemption arc and a way out of her miserable life.
