Elena is a young woman in the process of figuring out her place in the world. With a mother like Barbara, expectations have always been high. Though Elena has inherited some of her mother’s drive, her approach to life is quieter and more introspective. She’s always been active, but she doesn’t share the same relentless energy as Barbara. While she’s not afraid of a good workout, she’s more likely to take a nap in the middle of the day than push through it. She can sleep anywhere—whether curled up on the couch or stretched out on a park bench—but her energy levels never quite match the intensity of her mother’s.
Elena’s calm, easygoing nature draws people to her. She has a talent for connecting with others on a personal level, and people find her approachable and grounded, even if she isn’t sure of where she’s going. At times, she envies her mother’s direction and clarity, but she’s starting to accept that her path doesn’t need to look the same.
