'''Alena''' is a character in the {{DQSeries}} that appears as a playable {{Party 4}} member in {{Dragon Quest IV}}. | |||
She is the Tsarevna of [[Zamoksva]], but dreams of becoming the strongest fighter alive. Against the will of her father, she embarks on a journey to prove her strength to the world, accompanied by [[Kiryl]] and [[Borya]] in the [[Dragon Quest IV Chapter 2|second chapter]]. | |||
She has been a regular participant in the ''[[Itadaki Street (series)|Fortune Street]]'' series from the beginning. Alena is also one of the thirteen playable characters in {{Dragon Quest Heroes}}, was one of the original leader characters from ''[[Dragon Quest Rivals]]'', and appears as a special Hero character in ''[[Dragon Quest Tact]]''. | |||
==Appearance and personality== | ==Appearance and personality== | ||
With her cape and pointed hat, Alena somewhat resembles the female [[ | Alena is a slender teenage girl who wears a saffron colored short sleeved minidress with a black belt, matching straps around her shoulders, black opaque tights and orange boots with matching gloves, sphere-shaped emerald earrings that vary in size, along with a blue cape and matching rounded hat. Her hair is a light ginger shade being long and ending in a flip, she has fair skin, rose colored lips, and her eyes are red with multiple eyelashes. Her design would sometimes vary throughout her appearances. Such as her hat and cape having gold details designs, her dress being sleeveless (lacking the straps), having a detailed silver trim, and red lace at the sides, donning black gloves under her usual gloves, her gloves and boots having gold and sliver details, and/or donning black shorts instead of her usual tights. With her cape and pointed hat, Alena somewhat resembles the female [[Mage]] from {{III}}, though she possesses no magical aptitude at all. Though regarded by most as a tomboy, Alena does not forgo her feminine side; she is simply too overflowing with zeal for improving her strength to be tied down by bothersome traditions and dictations of "proper" conduct. Nevertheless, she does enjoy adding the occasional accessory to her attire. | ||

Despite her high aspirations, Alena is far from the stereotypically serious | Alena is a definitive spitfire, unafraid to speak her mind and being dead-set on reaching her goals. Despite her high aspirations, Alena is far from the stereotypically serious [[Martial Artist]], and sees the world around her with the wide eyes of wonder befitting her age. She tires of being coddled by her father and the inhabitants of Castle [[Zamoksva]], and is eager to see the world that exists beyond her bedroom window. Though very stubborn, Alena is far from thick-headed; she immediately jumps on board when faced with her destiny of helping the {{Hero 4}} counter the threat the [[Estark|Lord of the Underworld]] posses to the world. Alena is shown to care greatly for her father and her kingdom, visibly being very concerned when the entire populace of [[Zamoksva]] disappeared, and when [[Kiryl]] fell under a deadly illness. Later, Alena shows righteous anger when discovering that the {{MFamilies}}s were behind the disappearances and develops an unfaltering resolve to defeat the Lord of the Underworld so that her people may return. Alena can also be rather oblivious at times, such as failing to notice [[Kiryl]]'s crush on her. | ||
Alena has a very competitive nature as well as a love for fighting. As seen through her [[Party Chat]], she is always itching for sparring opponents to improve her own fighting skills, which is usually the first thing on her mind. When first meeting the Hero, who is looking for the same [[Feverfew#Feverfew root|Feverfew roots]] she is, Alena declares the search as a competition for who can find the plants first. | |||
Starting with the localization of the {{DS}} remake, Alena speaks with a Slavic dialect. | |||
===Influence on the RPG genre=== | |||
Alena is a trailblazing character, being the first instance of a petite woman becoming a mistress of martial arts in what has now become a common trope in the genre since her debut in 1990. Prior to this women were cast as mages or priestesses in RPGs, with the exceptions being games that allowed the player to create their own characters from scratch similar to {{III}}'s vocation system. Alena is the first melee-oriented woman in an RPG and the first to be given a pre-written personality by the developers. Her path would be followed by several characters in subsequent years, with the most prominent examples being Square Enix's own [https://www.chronowiki.org/wiki/Ayla Ayla] and [https://finalfantasywiki.com/wiki/Tifa Tifa Lockhart] from the ''Chrono Trigger'' and ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' series respectively. | |||

However, he refuses, saying that with {{MFamilies}}s showing increasing aggression, it's simply too dangerous to let her leave the safety of the castle. Alena goes back to her room but, within a few minutes, has been overcome with frustration and escapes the castle. | ||

Kiryl and Borya, her retainers, give chase; they're resigned to not being able to make her stay put, but if she's going to leave, they can't allow her to travel alone. The three set out and soon come to a small village being terrorized by a local monster continually demanding young girls as a sacrifice. Alena immediately heads to the local church to offer herself as the next sacrifice, but she has no intention of dying; as soon as the demon shows its face, she, Kiryl, and Borya spring into action and take it out, saving the village. | [[Kiryl]] and [[Borya]], her retainers, give chase; they're resigned to not being able to make her stay put, but if she's going to leave, they can't allow her to travel alone.

Retrieving some [[birdsong nectar]] to treat him, he admits that he was mistaken in his over-protectiveness, and opens the [[Zamoksva/Endor Teleportal|Teleportal to Endor]]. On arrival, Alena finds the local princess bemoaning her fate, because her father has promised her hand to the winner of the [[Tournament of Endor|Tournament]] of [[Endor]], an annual fighting competition, and her father is seriously regretting this promise. Though she hears rumblings of an extremely dangerous entrant named [[Psaro the Manslayer]], Alena enters and gets to the finals, only to find that her opponent, who would have been {{Psaro B}}, was a no show. By winning the tournament, Alena absolves the Princess of her duty. | ||

Alena corresponds to the [[ | {{clear}}{{spoiler|end}} | ||
====Base stats==== | |||
Alena corresponds to the [[Martial Artist]] vocation. She has high {{Strength}}, {{HP}}s, and {{Agility}}; however her equipment selection is somewhat limited (compared to the {{Hero 4}}, [[Ragnar McRyan]], and [[Torneko Taloon]]). She can wear most armor up to chain mail, but can wield only {{Club}}s, {{Whip}}s and her special weapon, {{Claw}}s. Due to her stat progression she has the highest luck of all {{Party 4}} members, enabling her to frequently dodge debilitating spells. | |||

In the NES and | Additionally, Alena's critical hit formula is very different from the other chosen; instead of a fixed 1/64 chance, her ratio is dependent on her level. In the {{NES}} and {{PS1}} version, the formula is ''LvL/256'', while in the [[Nintendo DS]] remake it is calculated as ''LvL(3/4)/256''. Both will cap at level 64, giving probabilities up to 25% and 19% respectively. Interestingly, her formula was changed yet again for the [[Cell phone|iOS/Android]] versions with her cap being changed to level '''89''', restoring the 25% ratio. | ||

Alena is a character in the Dragon Quest series that appears as a playable party member in Dragon Quest IV.
She is the Tsarevna of Zamoksva, but dreams of becoming the strongest fighter alive. Against the will of her father, she embarks on a journey to prove her strength to the world, accompanied by Kiryl and Borya in the second chapter.
She has been a regular participant in the Fortune Street series from the beginning. Alena is also one of the thirteen playable characters in Dragon Quest Heroes, was one of the original leader characters from Dragon Quest Rivals, and appears as a special Hero character in Dragon Quest Tact.
Appearance and personality[edit]
Alena is a slender teenage girl who wears a saffron colored short sleeved minidress with a black belt, matching straps around her shoulders, black opaque tights and orange boots with matching gloves, sphere-shaped emerald earrings that vary in size, along with a blue cape and matching rounded hat. Her hair is a light ginger shade being long and ending in a flip, she has fair skin, rose colored lips, and her eyes are red with multiple eyelashes. Her design would sometimes vary throughout her appearances. Such as her hat and cape having gold details designs, her dress being sleeveless (lacking the straps), having a detailed silver trim, and red lace at the sides, donning black gloves under her usual gloves, her gloves and boots having gold and sliver details, and/or donning black shorts instead of her usual tights. With her cape and pointed hat, Alena somewhat resembles the female Mage from III, though she possesses no magical aptitude at all. Though regarded by most as a tomboy, Alena does not forgo her feminine side; she is simply too overflowing with zeal for improving her strength to be tied down by bothersome traditions and dictations of "proper" conduct. Nevertheless, she does enjoy adding the occasional accessory to her attire.
Alena is a definitive spitfire, unafraid to speak her mind and being dead-set on reaching her goals. Despite her high aspirations, Alena is far from the stereotypically serious Martial Artist, and sees the world around her with the wide eyes of wonder befitting her age. She tires of being coddled by her father and the inhabitants of Castle Zamoksva, and is eager to see the world that exists beyond her bedroom window. Though very stubborn, Alena is far from thick-headed; she immediately jumps on board when faced with her destiny of helping the Hero counter the threat the Lord of the Underworld posses to the world. Alena is shown to care greatly for her father and her kingdom, visibly being very concerned when the entire populace of Zamoksva disappeared, and when Kiryl fell under a deadly illness. Later, Alena shows righteous anger when discovering that the monsters were behind the disappearances and develops an unfaltering resolve to defeat the Lord of the Underworld so that her people may return. Alena can also be rather oblivious at times, such as failing to notice Kiryl's crush on her.
Alena has a very competitive nature as well as a love for fighting. As seen through her Party Chat, she is always itching for sparring opponents to improve her own fighting skills, which is usually the first thing on her mind. When first meeting the Hero, who is looking for the same Feverfew roots she is, Alena declares the search as a competition for who can find the plants first.
Starting with the localization of the DS remake, Alena speaks with a Slavic dialect.
Influence on the RPG genre[edit]
Alena is a trailblazing character, being the first instance of a petite woman becoming a mistress of martial arts in what has now become a common trope in the genre since her debut in 1990. Prior to this women were cast as mages or priestesses in RPGs, with the exceptions being games that allowed the player to create their own characters from scratch similar to III's vocation system. Alena is the first melee-oriented woman in an RPG and the first to be given a pre-written personality by the developers. Her path would be followed by several characters in subsequent years, with the most prominent examples being Square Enix's own Ayla and Tifa Lockhart from the Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy series respectively.
Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen[edit]
Base stats[edit]
Alena corresponds to the Martial Artist vocation. She has high Strength, HPs, and Agility; however her equipment selection is somewhat limited (compared to the Hero, Ragnar McRyan, and Torneko Taloon). She can wear most armor up to chain mail, but can wield only Clubs, Whips and her special weapon, Claws. Due to her stat progression she has the highest luck of all party members, enabling her to frequently dodge debilitating spells.
Additionally, Alena's critical hit formula is very different from the other chosen; instead of a fixed 1/64 chance, her ratio is dependent on her level. In the NES and PS1 version, the formula is LvL/256, while in the Nintendo DS remake it is calculated as LvL(3/4)/256. Both will cap at level 64, giving probabilities up to 25% and 19% respectively. Interestingly, her formula was changed yet again for the iOS/Android versions with her cap being changed to level 89, restoring the 25% ratio.

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation[edit]
Alena, along with the rest of the chosen, appear in Reaper's Peak if the player selects the near future option for the town's appearance. She is standing along with Kiryl next to the well that leads to Nokturnus' chamber, eager to face the tremendous power she senses from the room while the former attempts to dissuade her.
Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies[edit]
On July 30, 2010, Alena began appearing as a special guest at the Quester's Rest in Stornway. This could be downloaded through the DQVC using Nintendo's Wi-Fi channel when it was still available. When spoken to, she will give the Hero different pieces of her outfit is certain conditions are fulfilled.
- Alena's dress - Recieved when talking to her.
- Alenas' gloves - Recieved after the inn is fully expanded.
- Alena's hat - Recieved when it is the player's birthday.
- Alena's tights - Recieved when the Hero is a Martial Artist.
- Valenki - Recieved after completing Quest #157.
A special Accolade is earned if the Hero wears all of the parts of Alena's costume.
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age[edit]
Alena is seen exploring the imperial pantry once again, however this time the dungeon is a sweltering furnace that keeps her makeshift party from remaining mobile. Once the Flamethrower responsible is slain, Alena thanks The Luminary. She will also mention if she's seen the Prince of Cannock once that quest is under way.

Along with Ragnar McRyan, Kiryl, and Torneko Taloon, Alena appears as a playable character in Itadaki Street Special.
