Yelena - イェレナ

Yelena is the leader of the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers working under [Zeke Yeager](https://anilist.co/character/125661/Zeke). She was one of the Marleyan soldiers on board the first survey fleet to Paradis Island after Marley's failed attack operation. She is a very tall woman with her blonde hair styled in a short bob with straight bangs. She has large dark eyes and somewhat androgynous features due to her build and style. Yelena is a fervent follower of Zeke Yeager, holding great admiration and respect for him. She is usually calm and collected, her demeanour remaining unchanged even when [Jean Kirstein](https://anilist.co/character/46498/Kirstein-Jean) yelled at her for failing to see her job through. Nonetheless, she is willing to take responsibility and apologizes should she fail in her task. Yelena appears to maintain a very relaxed demeanour while having dry, humorous undertones to much of her actions. ~!It is later revealed that Yelena was born into an unassuming family in Marley, and eventually became disillusioned with her own country. After meeting Zeke Yeager, Yelena concocted a plan to solidify herself in history by helping Zeke save the world. As part of her narrative, Yelena created a false background for herself, claiming that her homeland was invaded and conquered by Marley. She was forcibly drafted as a soldier to fight in the Marleyan military, where she met similar-minded soldiers and organized them into the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers to fight against Marley.!~
