Likes:
* The Musher- Marlen loves the lead musher of the Retro Rebel Team. They saved and brought her when her owner had given up on selling her and just didn't care for her much because of this Marlen would grieve if he died or got severely injured as she is very Loyal to him.
* Swimming- After the accident at the lake, Marlen has grow to love the water. Although she knows some days and some times , the time is not right to have a dive into the water or sometimes the water is not safe.
* Sled Racing- The adrenaline rush is what makes Lenny love sled racing , another thi is the unity feel and the feeling that you trust and love the team and nothing can stop them being a team .
* Charms- Lenny collects charms, so far on her personal harness she has a Siberian husky , a wolf, a penguin, a horse, a champagne and a medal charm which are all in a silver color. She loves them and they comfort her during rough times.
* Pretending to be a penguin- Her saying says it all, she likes to glide like a penguin on ice. No one knows why not even here but she loves doing it and every time she sees ice , she likes to pretend she is a penguin and slide and glide like a penguin.
Dislikes:
* Cheaters-Marlen has a deep hate and rage for anyone that cheat that includes partners, sled teams and anything else that cheats. She understands cheating comes in various forms although she hates it all as it hurts people, dogs and other creatures.
* The Vet- As a tiny pup, Marlen was forced into the local vets at Inuvik attached to a thick leather collar and a rope for a lead. Marlen was poked, prodded and tested for any illnesses, strengths and weaknesses so that she could get sold for a high price. Now she is in absolute fear of the vet and may bark at them from a distance or curl her lip at them occasionally.
* Small Spaces- Another fear from her past. Her old owner kept her in a small crate in a small room and she could barely move. Now she associates small spaces with being trapped and often freezes in fear.
* Cats- She just dislikes the little creatures, she just sees them as fair game to chase. Although she does keep the cat chasing in moderation so the cats don't gang up on her .
* Bullies- She just can't stand bullies, she thinks of bullies as cowardly people or dogs that prey on the weaker and most vulnerable dogs /people. She dislikes them and tries to stop them whenever and however she can.
Strengths:
* Swiftness- Being a swing dog has improved this skill of swiftness, she loves to weave and dodge obstacles whilst running at full pelt . Whether it is chasing a rabbit through a forest or helping the team make a sharp corner in the course.
* High Pain Tolerance- The she-dog has an amazing pain tolerance
* Sneaking- Sneaking past her past owners has lead to the expierence that has lead her to be extremely good at sneaking . Whether it is sneaking past sleeping humans or dogs or sneaking towards prey.
* Strength- Thanks to all her muscular build , Marlen is quite strong so when she rushes past and bowls you over expect a nasty bruise. She is quite strong in the way she can use it with her swiftness to win a fight.
* Swimming- The skill of swimming came to be when Len was a pup, she fell in a lake although she was scared at first. She relaxed , paddled to the shore .After that she kept going to the lake nearly every day she was allowed to enjoy and practice. Now it has paid off.
Weaknesses:
* Anxious- Lenny is an anxious dog who overworries about things that can be dealt with easily and overworrying about a dog. You get she worries a lot and usually sitting down and worrying about tiny things actually escalated her worries
* Tracking- Len's nose is not the sharpest tool in the box snd many dogs can track prey or something better than she can.
* Chasing Prey- Marlen can not resist when she sees prey but to chase it away or chase it to kill and eat it. She has a very strong instinct to chase prey ,no matter what it is.
* Bite Strength - Marlen has a jaw that doesn't bite hard , not as hard bite force as a German Shepherd or in fact a Siberian husky.Not that Lenny will want to use her jaw to fight a dog although she might need it to kill tougher prey.
* Heat- Being brought up and been accustomed to the cold ans more, Lenny simply can not survive in heat which is too Lenny anything that is above the highest normal temperature for Alaska.
