'''Alena''' (アリーナ, ''Ariina'') is a protagonist in {{DQ4}}. She is the princess (Tsarevna in later localizations) 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]].

Alena is a definitive spitfire, unafraid to speak her mind and 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 she knows 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 [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|The Hero]] counter the threat the [[Estark|Lord of the Underworld]] posses to the world.

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 [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|The Hero]], who is looking for the same item she is, Alena declares the search as a competition for who can find the [[Feverfew roots|Feverfew seed]] first. 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 and her companions are not seen again until Chapter 5, when Kiryl has fallen under a dangerous fever and is bedridden at [[Mintos]]. Alena and a band of three mercenaries set out to the weed's reported location to try and recover some to cure Kiryl, but fails. However, [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|The Hero of ''Dragon Quest IV'']] succeeds, and upon learning of their destiny the three immediately join the party for the remainder of the game. Some time later, they return to Zamoksva, finding the cause of its troubles to be the demon [[Balzack|Baalzack]], whom they kill in retribution and for the greater good.{{spoiler|end}}

 

 

Alena corresponds to the [[Martial Artist]] vocation. She has high strength, hit points, and agility; however her equipment selection is somewhat limited (compared to [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|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.

Alena appears as one of the guests at [[Quester's Rest]] in [[Stornway]]. This can be achieved trough the [[DQVC]] using [[Nintendo]]'s Wi-Fi Channel. When you talk to her, she gives you different pieces of her outfit depending on different situations. An [[Accolade]] can be earned if [[Hero (Dragon Quest IX)|The Hero]] wears all of the pieces of her outfit together.
