Dragon rising is soooooooo good, and already has so many ideas for Elena. When I first heard it was going to be a new series I thought it would be the perfect place for Elena to have her daughter.

I theb completely redid my next generation OC, who's name is Czarina, ( Nickname is Coda, that was Kai's idea ) So this is what I have so far.

During Crystalized, Elena discovered she was pregnant, after Zane turned off his emotions. She kept it a secret however, mostly because she knew Zane wouldn't have a reaction if she told him. Thankfully this all gets solved after he turns on his emotions again.

So after the craziness of Crystalized, and finally having a period of peace, Zane and Elena had a baby girl, everything seems to be going great. Elena couldn't be happier with her bundle of joy and spending time with her family at the newly built monastery. It seems their time of fighting has finally come to an end…

Sadly however, they never seem to catch a break as after her daughter's first birthday, Elena was back at the monastery with her  when the Merge happened.

Her and her daughter were sent to Imperium and believe she was the sole survivor out of the group. Believing the other Ninjas to have died… Including thinking her husband, Zane was dead again for like the fifth time. ( She really can't catch a break with him.

She founded a job working in a factory and was barely able to afford a small apartment. She and her daughter were both treated and discriminated against by most of her neighbors due to being seen as outsiders but there were a few kind souls that helped her out.

Life in Imperium was hard for Elena, having postpartum depression and extreme grief losing the entire team, her only will to actually live was trying to give her daughter the best life she could. Just how when Zane was destroyed by the overlord years ago, she became delusional and hallucinated by her teammates, leaving her with survivor's guilt.

She kept her old life of being a secret, returning to an old habit of wearing a vengestone necklace, ( Long story, short she wore one after being in the Never Realm as a way of coping with what happened, but during Crystalized was finally able to give up that habit and began to use her powers again… That also didn't last long.

She also gave her daughter, Czarina a vengestone necklace, after to her horror discovering she inherited both her and Zane's elemental powers of Ice and Time, something that had never happened before.
Knowing how powerful she would become and out of fear of what Imperium would do to them if they discovered they had elemental powers, she never told her daughter that her father and mother had them…or that she had them either.

Still thinking about how, she runs into the Ninja when they all got there but I was thinking that she and Czarina got sent to the Public Shaming Platform, due to her daughter not wearing shoulder pads on the weekday. Elena couldn't afford new shoulder pads for Czarina when she outgrew them… So maybe the Ninja found the two on the big screens? I don't know and still thinking about that.

Anyway, sorry about the infodump and I'm sure this was super confusing to understand as I just came up with this. If you have any questions I'll do my best to answer them. And if you made it this far, thank you so much for reading all of it. Means a lot to me, ^^
