The condition of the city affected the rabbit family in all the typical ways, but  for the most part, Elena grew up safe, healthy and happy. With her father sitting high as a spokesperson of hybrid-human affairs for the city, he was respected by their kind for defending the laws for rabbits and working day in and day out for labor, wage and social equality. While he was busy at work, months of trips for deals and negotiations and proposes and all, Elena's mother spent her time at home to care for her two daughters. Elena learned how to prioritize her needs and take care of herself while her little sister needed all of their mother's attention.

Irena Nisen was 2 years old when she was diagnosed with a neuromuscular disease called Myasthenia Gravis, causing periods of time of severe muscle weakness which have grown progressively worse over time. The condition is temporarily worsened with physical activity, affecting her limbs, spine and neck, making it impossible to stay standing and difficult to even sit up. Irena, now 8 years old, has lost almost all strength to keep her eyelids open for extended periods of time and has therefore been medically stated as blind, though she can still see. Occasions also come when she as trouble swallowing or digesting food, requiring supervision during mealtimes for fear of choking. She must also have checkups through the night as this condition has lead to cases of sleep apnea. The cost of her treatment has led the family into a state of desperation for a cure, but there is none to be found yet.

Elena otherwise led a very normal life and stuck to her studies, training to pave her way into a medical profession for the sake of her sister's treatment research. Studying not only typical medical properties and requisites, she also indulged with the field of technology and computer science. It was important to keep up with the most recent devices available and to see how it could connect into helping her sister gain her strength back with as little awkward counterparts and gadgets as possible. This kept her mind creative, trying to think outside the box for the solutions she sought. She aced her classes and demonstrated promise in her future, but the only thing that kept holding her back was her identity as a rabbit. It was unbearably frustrating to fulfill all the requirements for Internship nursing certification by the age of 18 only to be denied because of her inevitable tie to some rabbit-crime syndicate underground. What? All of her accomplishments spiraled down the drain because the rabbit ears on her head linked her to some group of delinquents ruining the order of the city!

Her anger at the injustice that befell her caused her to look into what exactly her father was doing in his work. And what she found was completely heartbreaking- failure. The negotiations always ended in disaster; her father was ignored in his protests even when they made logical and moral sense. It all came back to the same conclusion: the rabbits are criminals and are below the human race. The arguments were always the same- man created these abhorred creatures just to prove they could. The origin of their existence today was but a mishap from the leakage of TSRG 200 years ago, and to control them now, they must be silenced... 

Reading the results of her father's hard work and other related reports fueled a benevolent fit of rage inside her. She dug deeper, using her background skills in technology to start her digression to the world of hacking. She wanted to know more about the start of rabbit genome research, and the political aspects of their origins she could argue for the justice her father is fighting so hard for. As well of course, medical philosophies in creative treatments leading to cures for her sister's ailment. With careful handling, she befriended the hacker geeks she went to school with (and avoided back then), and progressed up the ladder of beneficial contacts from there. But it wasn't enough. Some servers were impenetrable, and some facilities secured their data so tight that the only access was to be found inside the doors themselves. She knew all the info was out there somewhere, but there was no way she'd get access to it like this. 

Her tight web of contacts led her to become acquainted with just the resource she needed. Moving out to her own apartment by age 20, she earned a hearty wage by government-funded side branch concentrated in international affairs and ethical hacking. It was there that she became partnered up with a man named Jirou Fournier which served as her teacher, bodyguard and escort. It was later revealed to her that she was granted this position only due to the relation of her father's reputation. While his efforts were slow in progress, his contribution granted him respect, and now she as well. Jirou was friends with her father too, so the relation became much more personal than intended. This connection granted an opportunity for Elena to learn much more about the workings of government policy, foundations, work, and security than she was ever supposed to. 

She thought she was ahead of the game with Jirou spilling little secrets, but he caught her completely by surprise when he sat her down one evening to speak with her about the underground syndicate which ruined her chance in the medical profession. As a human, he had no personal knowledge of the place, but he relayed the information from her father, who seemed to have known her struggles all along. Jirou told Elena the details of Pearson's ugly history and the origins of her kind. He further explained the foundations of Black Jack's Bunny Brigade and what they stand for, albeit handling the situation poorly. A message from her father, Jirou elaborated, was for Elena to join the ranks of this brigade and help them get justice and equality with the most sensible and peaceful means available. 

"Stop them from killing themselves."

Jirou decided it would be more suitable to give Elena more on-field skills before sending her off to this underground rabbit base. Elena would spend the next 2 years training in covert missions with Jirou after work hours. They would start from simple, simulated scenarios and grow into complicated procedures to get information about targets- specifically her father's biggest enemies. This work branched into collecting data about the entire city, gathering key points for unofficial rabbit gangs and P.O.S.R.A. rendezvous points. After overhearing the beginning works of the BJBB hacking and detainment plan, Jirou recommended it best for the two to lay low until the worst of it passed. But Elena had other plans. She was determined to aid the brigade's cause and not hide. All the ride home, she set up a plan to infiltrate an office building and purposely gain the attention of P.O.S.R.A. officers to distract them from the Brigade's important tasks- which she wasn't aware, was the same mission. Begrudgingly, Jirou accepted the sophisticated plan and used it as a final task to test her field skills. 

Three days and some plan-tweaking, blueprint gathering, and ceaseless arguments later- Jirou would escort Elena to the rendezvous point of their last mission together. It was the day after Christmas and the air was frigid, ground stained in dirty snow. As her escort was rambling protocol and safety measures, he set his pistol on the dashboard to be readily available in case he needed to run in after her. 

But Elena was staring out the window far more curious about what was lying out on the side of the road up ahead, drizzled in snow. She demanded frantically for her escort to pull over, and she ran out of the car upon finding a boy with dark hair and small, tattered ears, passed out and shivering on the pavement. With an emergency first aid kit and heated blanket in the trunk, she helped the boy into the warm car where Jirou continued driving toward their mission's start point. She gave the boy her bagged lunch then told him to stay in the car with Jirou when they arrived at their destination.

A majority of the infiltration mission was a success. She got into the secured building without a hitch, collected treasured data of P.O.S.R.A.'s long-term proposals from the main database, then set off the alarm to lure a squad here to distract the important delegations occurring a block away. It was calculated she would have exactly 32.04 seconds to escape the building, jump back in the car and take off, but a squad late to the meeting was right on the road to intervene in half the time.

With a panicked Jirou in the front seat of the car outside, his priority was to secure the data sent to his device and to get the hell out of here before he'd be arrested and set to death for the entirety of this treason. He left the gun on the dashboard for the boy before fleeing the scene for his life. Elena made it to the main hallway before becoming surrounded by officers and no chance of escape. She could feel the weight of the situation as frustration and fear set in, conflicting within her to give up or keep fighting. A loud gunshot was heard then- and an officer went down. In his place, the boy stood. She was grateful for his bravery but that only made a complete disaster out of this, as everyone now pulled out their arms and aimed straight for the kid. With a shouted plea, she stood before him to shield him and argue the sense of her actions. It was all she could think to do to not get both of them killed. 

It was in that crucial moment when another rabbit crashed into the place and took out all the officers with an elongated metal rod. Coincidentally, he was assigned the same venture Elena had just finished herself, so he rescued her and the boy in hopes for a share of the vital information too. The two argued about it for a moment before explaining both of their backgrounds with keen interest for each other's talents, until finally the man explained his interests to recruit her into BJBB. She accepted, only on the condition she take the boy with her. He needed shelter, and she refused to let him go back to the streets where she found him. The brigadier wasn't thrilled, but as long as the kid promised to make himself useful, he could come too.

Before Elena could officially come to the brigade though, she had many loose ends to tie up regarding her identity in the branch she worked in. This included covering up her involvement with the distraction mission, providing (fake) evidence for an alibi of where she's been when these infiltration missions took place, and other such record-tampering. She officially quit her work here 2 weeks ago and tied up some loose ends with Jirou and her father before packing her things and departing for BJBB.
