“ No! Family is supposed to help you! Not hold you hostage!... You're the monster here and I know just the hunter to take you down! ”

–Lena standing up to Magica

Lena Sabrewing[1] (née De Spell)[2] is a being cast from Magica De Spell's shadow who appears in DuckTales (2017). While serving alongside Flintheart Glomgold as one of the two secondary antagonists of Season 1, she became a major recurring supporting character in both Season 2 and 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 the DuckTales #8 comic.[2]

Origin[]

Lena is inspired by Minima De Spell and the 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 and his family.

Personality[]

Lena is the best friend of Webby Vanderquack. She's claimed to be one year older than Webby[3]. 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 has 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 white t-shirt and black shorts, and she was barefoot after Scrooge tell the kids to get in the plane so they get in the planes because they had no time to change their clothes. 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[]

Jaws Lena and Magica

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[]

Violet family 3
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

"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.[4] "Challenge of the Senior Junior Woodchucks!" shows this and Lena being a supportive sister cheering for Violet during the competition.

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.

Friends[]

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

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, 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 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[]

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.

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.

Lena stops time.
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.
Lena admired Huey's butt kicking skills.
Lena has shown to have great admiration for Huey's fighting skills.

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/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.
    • Intangibility: In her shadow form Lena is intangible meaning she is able to phase through walls.
    • Levitation: In her shadow form Lena can briefly levitate off the ground, though not for long.

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.[5]
  1. ↑ Twitter - Frank Angones. “Who? Oh, do you mean Lena Sabrewing?” in response to "Could be Lena DeSpell." It is unclear when Lena would have changed her name to Violet's surname though.

    Question, there's been a bit of a confusion, is Lena's last name LeStrange or deSpell?
    Le Strange was a placeholder from a long time ago to make sure that no one leaked the fact that she was a DeSpell. It was never meant as any kind of official anything.”
