* In [[Beyond the Desert|Chapter 7]], Lene can talk to [[Seliph]] after she has been recruited, yielding no reward.

* In [[For Whose Sake|Chapter 9]], Lene can talk to [[Coirpre]] after he has been recruited, granting him +1 [[Luck]].

* In [[Light and Dark|Chapter 10]], if [[Lewyn]] was her father, [[Seliph]] can talk to Lene after Rados Castle has been seized to initiate a conversation between her and Lewyn, granting her +5 [[Defense]].

Lene is a level 3 [[Dancer]] who joins in Chapter 7 of ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', the second chapter of its second generation. As Lene has low strength, defense and HP; is limited to C-level swords unless [[Chulainn]] is her father: can not get [[Follow-Up]] without inheritance or the ring; and has no promotion, she is poor at combat. Lene will always inherit [[Adept]] and [[Miracle]] from [[Silvia]], however, Lene's attacks do little damage, so additional ones are unhelpful, and Miracle activating requires that she be in danger.

Lene offers unique utility in her ability to [[dance]]; she can refresh up to four adjacent units, allowing them to move again. This can allow units to get closer to an objective, to attack an enemy again or attack a different enemy, to heal more allies, and to use staves like [[Rescue]] again. Lene's ability to dance does not change with her inherited stats and skills, though it can be indirectly affected by her inherited items. The [[Knight Ring]] grants its user [[Canto]], letting Lene move again after dancing. The [[Leg Ring]] increases a unit's movement by 3; with it, Lene can better keep up with high-move mounted units and dance for them without slowing them down. With both the Leg and Knight Rings, Lene has the mobility of a mounted unit, and can easily keep pace with and dance for the player's main combat units. The Knight Ring is a fairly competitive item, but Lene is the strongest user of it throughout the game. The Leg Ring is more competitive, and every unit benefits from having three more movement. While Lene is a strong competitor for it, she is competing with [[Seliph]]; with the Leg Ring, Seliph can clear [[Heir of Light|Chapter 6]] much faster than he could without, and as the only person who can seize his movement will always dictate how fast a chapter can be cleared. Giving it to Seliph first requires that Lene purchase the Leg Ring after him, requiring 20,000 [[gold]] that she struggles to make in the arena.

Lene does not change significantly based on her father; as such, her parentage is better selected based on the needs of her brother, [[Coirpre]]. However, Coirpre does not change much based on his father, either; he is helped most significantly by [[Claud]], as he gains major Bragi blood and can inherit staves, but he is not significantly hindered by not having Claud as a father. In [[Dance in the Skies|Chapter 4]], Silvia has an event with Claud that grants [[love]] points between the two; Silvia also has an event with [[Alec]] in [[Crisis in Agustria|Chapter 2]] that grants the pair love points, and an event in Chapter 4 with [[Erinys]] that boosts Lewyn and Silvia's love points and Lewyn and Erinys's love points. Silvia has the highest base love points with Lewyn and Claud, but the lowest point growths with them as well. Lewyn and Claud have better options than Coirpre, though Alec is not in particularly high demand.

If Silvia is dead or unmarried by the end of [[Doorway to Destiny|Chapter 5]], Lene's substitute [[Laylea]] will be recruited instead. Laylea is a dancer like Lene, and has the same function. However, Laylea has different skills; she does not have Adept or Miracle, but does have [[Charm]], increasing the [[hit rate]] and avoid of all allies within three tiles. Laylea cannot inherit any skills, Holy Blood, or items, however; no father can pass Charm to Lene, but Lene can inherit the Leg and Knight rings—Laylea must instead purchase them from the pawn shop for 20,000 gold and 40,000 gold respectively, or 60,000 gold total. While [[Bargain]] will halve the price of both items, Laylea can only obtain Bargain through the [[Bargain Band]], itself costing 40,000 gold, making the total cost 70,000 gold; Lene can potentially inherit both items, but can inherit Bargain or the Bargain Band if she needs to purchase on of them, and can inherit gold on top of that, making it significantly easier to get Lene both items.
