Lorena Marquez is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. She is a teenage girl introduced in Aquaman vol. 6 #16 (May 2004) who gains Atlantean-like abilities thanks to a serum derived from Aquaman's DNA. An amoral scientist exposes the population of San Diego to the serum and then triggers an earthquake to sink part of the city into the ocean. Some inhabitants gain sub-aquatic abilities and survive, and Aquaman and Lorena help reestablish the community as "Sub Diego". Lorena soon assists Aquaman as the costumed heroine Aquagirl, whose skills include her keen detective abilities. She later joins the Teen Titans, but ultimately disappears from continuity with the reintroduction of Tula Marius in the New 52.

She then became an associate artistic director of Bay Area Houston Ballet & Theatre. Her sister, Lorna Feijóo, was also a ballet dancer.
Tbh I find Lorena much prettier and feminine than Lorraine, not only because of how it is spelled but also 'cause of it's pronunciation (LO-REH-NUH). You can't go wrong with Lorena.
