Name: Lena Luthor
Door: door pass - dominant

Canon: Supergirl
Canon Point: 4x22

Age: 30
Appearance: here

History: here
Personality:
Positive: Resilient

Throughout the course of Supergirl, we see that Lena has always shown resilience. She lost her mother when she was four and was sent to live with the Luthors; Lionel was her biological father, but she wasn’t made aware of this until much later in life. Being a Luthor means being part of a family that is selfish, ambitious, and constantly seeking power. Instead of becoming a monster like her brother, Lena has used her brilliance to help mankind. She wants to do good and to make a difference. It is the opposite of what should be expected from someone with Lena’s upbringing. Instead of letting the family name define her, she has worked to redefine the family name and to give back to the world.

Negative: Guarded

We do see how being a Luthor has impacted Lena’s relationships with other people. When Lena talks about Lex’s descent into madness, she tells Kara how she tried to bring him back to the side of good and just couldn’t reach him. She explains that she believes, “some people are just bad, there’s nothing you can do to change that. But you can learn to protect yourself.” After Lex showed his true colors, she learned to protect her heart. She was hesitant to become friends with Kara and the rest of their group, and has constantly fought to prove herself to everyone around her. She’s been judged by the world, lost friends she was close to, and had to live with Lex’s manipulation. It has made her want to protect herself from getting hurt again. At her canon point, having learned Kara’s secret and killed her brother, she will be extremely guarded in how she approaches relationships. This is a lonely moment for Lena. Feeling betrayed by someone she trusted will cause her to show more caution with who she will get close to.

Negative: Calculating

Lena is a genius, a scientist, and a practical, pragmatic person. When she makes a decision, she uses her experiences and the information she has on hand. She does not blindly follow Supergirl or do something strictly because Supergirl tells her it is the right thing to do. Lena is trusted with a dangerous substance called harun-el, but then figures out how to make it and secretly begins experimenting with it. Lena sees it as a powerful resource that can do good for the world; her scheming is done with the belief that she can make important scientific advancements. However, it is in these moments where she makes decisions based on her own desires that shows how calculating she can be. She believes the opportunity to use something for good is more important than the harm it could cause.

Similarly, she creates Project Non Nocere to try to reprogram human brains to be peaceful and honest. These schemes are based in good intentions but show that when Lena is determined to explore a scientific possibility, no one can stop her.

Negative: Deceptive

After Lena shoots Lex, he tells her that Kara Danvers is Supergirl. Lena considers this secret to be a major betrayal from the most important people in her life. She feels she was made a fool of, and doesn’t immediately address it. Instead of confronting Kara, she pretends everything is fine. When Kara eventually tells her the truth, she lies and pretends to be understanding. Kara already knows that telling the truth will hurt Lena’s feelings, she’s expecting an immediate bad reaction and apologizes in every way she can. Instead of letting that be enough, Lena holds on to this deception with the understanding that she can make Kara suffer later on by pretending to be okay with what she’s done to her. It’s twisted and cold, and shows the darker side of Lena Luthor.

Powers and Abilities:
