Early Life
Ayden grew up shouldering the weight of her father's death and the responsibility of acting efficient, mature and brave-faced for her mother and older brother as they were all three having a hard time after moving to Canada. She and her family (consisting of her mother and brother) spent their first two weeks in Canada in a hotel before being thrown into the streets for not being able to pay anymore, only for Ayden's mother's 'condition' to worsen to the point where she was sent to the hospital. Put under social aid, Ayden and her family were sent into a shelter for single abused mothers, where they were mistreated physically and psychologically by the other women and their children. Ayden was always bullied, far more than her brother. She was angry at the world and that always got her into trouble, even though she didn't do anything at all to be in trouble in the first place. Her only joy and relief was being able to spend time with her best friend, Leonard Dorian, who she'd known since she was eight.

Personality
"When you lose someone... that loss... it stays with you. You can love someone so much... but you can never love people as much as you can miss them. I know what it's like, okay? It's painful as hell— I don't want you going through that, Lena."
