While serving alongside [[Flintheart Glomgold (2017)|Flintheart Glomgold]] as one of the two secondary antagonists of [[Season 1 (DuckTales 2017)|Season 1]], she became a major recurring supporting character in both [[Season 2 (DuckTales 2017)|Season 2]] and [[Season 3 (DuckTales 2017)|Season 3]].

She is voiced by [[Kimiko Glenn]].

==Etymology==
Lena LeStrange was her placeholder name as a means of hiding the fact that she was related to Magica; the surname was used in the official summary for [[Sleep (Walk) of Doom!|the ''DuckTales #8'' comic]].<ref name="DeSpell" />

==Origin==
Lena is inspired by [[Minima De Spell]] and the [[Magica De Spell (1987)|original Magica's]] sentient shadow from "[[Magica's Shadow War]]". She is the sentient shadow of [[Magica De Spell (2017)]] who had created her like a shadow figure but took on the form of a teenage girl with the original intention of bringing about the end of [[Scrooge McDuck (2017)|Scrooge]] and his family.

==History==
{{main|Lena Sabrewing/Biography}}{{gallery}}

==Personality==
Lena is the best friend of [[Webby Vanderquack (2017)|Webby Vanderquack]]. She's claimed to be one year older than Webby<ref>{{Cite web|author=Angones, Frank|website=Tumblr|url=https://suspendersofdisbelief.tumblr.com/post/175418159761/oh-and-how-old-is-lena-ik-that-shes-in-her|title=Oh and how old is Lena? Ik that she's in her...}}</ref>. She doesn't have similar traits to Magica because of her own desire to obtain Scrooge's No #1 Dime to gain her freedom, rather than revenge. Although she valued her friendship with Webby, she initially disliked family and was stubborn and rebellious. But upon realizing what family was for, she tried to warn Scrooge about Magica, but to no avail. She is shown to have become brave and selfless as she saved Webby's life and stood up to Magica, who doesn't care about her at all and took away her physical form. Lena survived and was trapped in Webby's shadow until Webby and Violet freed her. Lena realized that all families were not like Magica. She then moved in with Violet, and Violet's two dads adopted her.

==Physical Appearance==
Lena is a slim teenage duck with white hair with the end being pink who wears a teal collared shirt with a black long-sleeved shirt (that she claims to have got off the lead singer in a band from Paris) with gray stripes over it, and light green laced shoes with the tip being white. In her pajamas for a sleepover with Webby, Violet, and the boys, she wears a one-piece black sleep-robe with a loose mint green t-shirt and is barefoot. After gaining her own magic, she gained a white outfit with teal gloves and tights. Her eyes were also full blue, and her hairstyle was overturned.

==Relationships==
===Family===
====[[Magica De Spell (2017)|Magica De Spell]]====
[[File:Jaws_Lena_and_Magica.png|thumb|left|227x227px]]
Magica is Lena's aunt/mother (creator). When Lena gained sentience, she believed that Magica was her aunt and wanted to be free from her, because of her abusive nature towards her. Magica was demanding and emotionally neglectful to her giving no love whatsoever, making Lena bitter toward family until she made a group of friends that made her feel different.

====[[Violet Sabrewing]]====
[[File:Violet_family_3.jpg|thumb|left|260px]]
Lena first encounters Violet in the library in "[[Friendship Hates Magic!]]" When seeing Webby and Violet bond over their love for the supernatural and mystical history, Lena gets jealous of Webby's new friend. Even though Webby can't hear her Lena shouts out her [[File:Friendship_hates_magic_Lena_and_Violet_8.png|thumb|260px|"With the hand of my friend's friend, we bring bitter jealousy to an end."]]disapproval of Violet and gets worried and over-protective when seeing Magica's amulet. During a séance, Lena accidentally brings them to the shadow realm and she and Violet argue at first but then they worked together to save Webby from creatures known as Tulpas.

Once the three returned to the real world, Lena was glad to not only have brought her old friend back but find a new one in the process. According to Frank Angones, it was meant to be mentioned in "[[A Nightmare on Killmotor Hill!]]" that Lena moved in with Violet and her parents, but this was cut out of the episode.<ref>https://suspendersofdisbelief.tumblr.com/post/187616858221/is-lena-staying-with-the-family-at-the-manor-or#notes</ref> "[[Challenge of the Senior Junior Woodchucks!]]" shows this and Lena being a supportive sister cheering for Violet during the competition and calling the latter "[her] sister from a couple of misters."

====[[Ty and Indy Sabrewing]]====
Though much isn't known about her fathers, it can be assumed that they adopted her before the events of "A Nightmare on Killmotor Hill!" due to a mention of such that was cut from the episode. In "[[Challenge of the Senior Junior Woodchucks!]]", Lena has her arm around one of her fathers as she cheers for Violet, suggesting that she has developed an affectionate relationship with them.

===Friends===
====[[Webby Vanderquack (2017)|Webby Vanderquack]]====
Webby is Lena's best friend, and they met in "[[The Beagle Birthday Massacre!]]" when Webby stays back on the beach while the[[File:Beagle_Birthday_Massacre_Lena_10.png|thumb|left]] boys went sailing. Luring Webby by creating fake bottled messages, Webby was interested in her friendship as she found her sharp wit and her worldly travels to be very cool. As Lena invited her to venture with her through their trials with the [[Beagle Boys (2017)|Beagle Boys]], they developed a very close bond. Even when Lena was going against Huey, Dewey, and Louie, she stood by Webby and was supportive of her. Webby loves having the mischievous Lena as a friend, which is what Lena needed to assist [[Magica De Spell (2017)|Magica De Spell]] to get Scrooge's number one dime for her freedom. However, after many adventures and sleepovers, Lena found it hard going against Webby. Lena wants to look out for her, yet it's hard for Lena to fight Magica alone.

====[[Huey Duck (2017)|Huey Duck]]==== 
Lena stepped up and suggested they look for Terra-firmians in "[[Terror of the Terra-firmians!]]" showing some belief and doubt in Webby's claim. Lena and Huey may have shown some bonding as they spent so much time in the underground subway system, though Lena enjoys teasing Huey about his nerdy ways with the ''[[Junior Woodchuck Guidebook (2017)|Junior Woodchuck Guidebook]]''.

In "[[The Split Sword of Swanstantine!]]" Lena and Huey paired up to find the pieces belonging to the Sword of Swanstantine, but are confronted by [[Steelbeak]] during the journey. However in the midst of an attack, Lena managed to stop time so that they can work out a way to take him on.
[[File:Timeloop.jpg|alt=Lena stops time.|left|thumb]] Not wanting to fight, Huey decides to run simulations to see if he can diplomatically handle Steelbeak, but all simulations fail. Lena then spotted a door labeled "The Duke of Making a Mess" and opens it to find a savage version of Huey. Huey reveals that he hides that part of himself as it is not who he is, but Lena tells him that that is what they need. Huey finally gives in and awakens to the real world where he manages to take on Steelbeak and physically defeats him. [[File:Lena sparkling eyes.jpg|alt=Lena admired Huey's butt kicking skills.|right|thumb]]Lena has shown to have great admiration for Huey's fighting skills.

====[[Louie Duck (2017)|Louie Duck]]====
After seeing Lena in action in "[[The Beagle Birthday Massacre!]]", Louie professes admiration for her. In "[[Jaw$!]]", both of them agree that telling Scrooge about the current crisis is a bad idea. In "[[A Nightmare on Killmotor Hill!]]", Louie deducts points from Dewey’s score during a dart game for hitting a picture of Lena. Later, he expresses concern when Lena presents everyone with friendship bracelets, as it seems out of character for her.

====[[Dewey Duck (2017)|Dewey Duck]]====
Dewey was first shown having met Lena in [[The Beagle Birthday Massacre!]] and with his brothers and Webby, they later rescue Lena from the Beagle Boys. In [[Terror of the Terra-firmians!]], Dewey and the others plus Lena end up taking an underground passage through a subway and later encounter the Terra-firmians who were the source of the mysterious occurrences that night.  Dewey and Webby later witnesss Lena's "death" in [[The Shadow War!]], shocking both of them (though Lena survives in Webby's shadow later). When Lena returned, in [[A Nightmare on Killmotor Hill!]], Lena gave friendship bracelets to Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby and Violet before they sleep. In Dewey's dream, Lena accidentally pops one of Dewey's basketballs but he says it's ok, although when Lena pulls a fire alarm (which spits Dewberry Pep), Dewey scolds Lena as to why she did that. Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby and Violet all enjoy their montage of dreams, with the five later rescuing Lena from her (former) aunt Magica in her nightmare, who had been controlling her secretly.

==Powers and Abilities==
*'''Time Freezing:''' In The Split Sword of Swanstantine, Lena freezes time just before Steelbeak attacks her and Huey.
*'''Skilled hand-to-hand combatant''': As demonstrated throughout the series Lena is able to hold her own in hand-to-hand combat, especially when she nearly bested Magica while she was distracted.
*'''Occult knowledge''': Due to growing up in the care of Magica, Lena possesses great knowledge of the occult and other things of mystical origins.
**'''Telekinesis''': Lena is shown able to lift heavy objects as in the episode "Terror of the Terra-Firmians!" where she uses it to lift the train and help Mrs. Beakley to get out from below it.
**'''Transfiguration''': Lena can transform objects into other things as shown in "Moonvasion!" where she transformed one of the moonlanders' weapons into a bird.

===Former Powers and Abilities===
====[[Sumerian Talisman|Sumerian Talisman/Amulet]]====
Unfused from the amulet, as she does wear it, Lena learns that she has Magic of her own without the amulet, and after Phantom Blot is defeated, Magica gains her powers back as she takes the amulet, and Lena uses her own Magic, leaving the Sumerian Talisman with Magica.

====As Magica's Shadow====
*'''Levitation''': In her shadow form Lena levitates the train car off of Beakley and the two escape.

====As Webby's Shadow====
*'''Shadow Physiology''': While in her original form which was a shadow, Lena had similar abilities to that of a ghost such as phasing through walls and floating. These powers seem to be exclusive to her shadow form and cannot be used in her normal form.

==Trivia==
*Lena is the latest of a number of niece characters created for Magica De Spell, her predecessors including [[Minima De Spell]].
*Lena was created by Magica, so technically Magica is not her aunt, in fact, it would be in some ways her mother (in the sense of creator/creation).
*Lena probably does not age as she has not changed anything since her creation 15 years ago until "[[The Shadow War!]]" as in a flashback, though this is left ambiguous as it could've easily been because it was through Webby's imagination since she was still wearing her stripped shirt when made in the flashback despite claiming to have gotten it from the [[Feather Weights]] band with Angones stating she wasn't lying about that.
*One of the covers of DuckTales (IDW) #9 says that Lena failed boarding schools.
*The DuckTales Character Designer Tim Moen named Lena once with the surname "LeStrange" on his Instagram Account, he did this because, in order to conceal Lena's connection to Magica, she was originally referred to as "Lena LeStrange", an unofficial placeholder name.
*Lena's shirt came from the [[Feather Weights]] band during their concert in Paris.
*It has been confirmed by Frank that Lena's new outfit is called the Super Sorceress Outfit and that it activates when she uses the full breadth of her powers.<ref name="">{{cite web|url=https://suspendersofdisbelief.tumblr.com/post/629889959959150592/lenas-new-look-isnt-permanent-is-it-i-prefer|title=Frank Angones and the Suspenders of Disbelief}} </ref>
