Yelena Vasilyev (Mirror)

Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, Yelena moved to the US with her mother Oksana, and younger sister Svetlana when she was 12 years old, after her mother married an American soldier. Her new step-father became a cop after finishing his term in the army, and Yelena idolized him, vowing to one day become a cop herself. Making good on her vows, she made a fine cop until she was shot in the leg during a drug bust, being forced into early retirement with honors. She wasn't ready to give up on criminal justice work however, and decided to take a job at LCF as a guard. Through her hard work and tenacity, it wasn't long before she rose to the rank of Sergeant. Yelena is tough, but fair, believing that everyone deserves at least a chance at rehabilitation. She's usually very willing to listen to the inmates' problems and try to help them come up with reasonable solutions to them, but she knows that her job is to ensure a safe and orderly prison, and will not let her ideals blind her to true purpose of her position.
