* TookALevelInJerkass: In the first two books, as a teenager, she's mostly a nice and polite ShrinkingViolet. As an adult woman in the books 3 and 4, she's much less nice. While Pietro isn't a great husband to her in the third book, Elena can often be unnecessarily harsh to him, and this without even mentioning her secret affair with Nino, with her husband Pietro and their children in the same house.
