Appearance Elena stands at roughly five-foot-four with short cropped blonde hair which seems to be longer on one side (similar to a bob-cut style), she has dark brown eyes and always wears the standard Turk uniform, on occasion she’ll have on combat gloves due to her rough job as a Turk, but she will never make any other modifications, always has the tie and everything. She has a toned build, but can easily be thought of as physically weak by her foes when really, she isn’t.
Personality: First off, Elena has a very determined personality, she is very loyal to ShinRa and lives her life as a Turk wanting to surpass her older sister, Gun, and be the best she can be. She pushes herself hard when it comes to the job. She hates hearing about her sister and all of her success, whether it be from the past from her father, or from Gun herself. She wants to get out of her sister’s shadow and simply wants a name for herself around the ShinRa building, that and some respect, even though she is the newest Turk to date, she still believes she is a good asset to the team and just wishes certain red heads would shut the hell up and treat her better, like the rest of the Turks.
Being loyal to the job makes Elena seem like a bit of a prude at times, though she is far from that. She believes that play time can come after the job is done, so when the terrible trio is at it again, she can tend to be a bit annoyed and seem cranky at times, trying to get them to focus on the job at hand. This is why she prefers to be partnered with Tseng or Rude for anything, because they take things seriously, but should she be partnered with Reno or others like him, tension can fill the air, but the job still gets done, at least from her end of things.
Even though she can be labeled as a prude at times when it comes to the job, outside the job, Elena can be fun and outgoing if she wanted to be, she is also said to be clumsy as well. She isn’t exactly the first one to jump on ideas or suggest they all go do something fun as friends, but if invited she’d gladly tag along for the fun of it, so long as it isn’t stupid or reckless – something that could get her or someone else killed. She’s not heartless and is actually very kind once you get to know her, but there are times she’ll give you the cold shoulder, should you be one of those people who disrespect her, mess up the job, or put her own life in danger, she’s had enough kidnapping and torture to last a lifetime.
History: Elena was a high school student whose father was a teacher in the Shinra Military Academy. Furthermore, her older sister was a member of the Turks. She resented her sister for outperforming her, and vowed she would never join the Turks as long as her sister was a member. Elena worked as a bartender in Wall Market during her high school years, and trained at the Military Academy.
At first, she followed in her sister's footsteps and trained with firearms; however, she eventually dropped the weapon classes as a way of removing herself from her sister, and began practicing martial arts instead. She achieved five "Elite Emblems" at the Shinra Military Academy, emblems only given to students who hold the highest scores for their exams, obtaining the most Elite Emblems in the school and solidifying her status as a prodigy.
Despite her clumsy nature, she is highly skilled with both weapons and martial arts. When Elena observes three Ravens dispose of SOLDIER members and steal their uniforms she considers telling the Turks, but instead takes on the responsibility herself, following them until she lost track. She was later kidnapped for being a witness and was eventually held hostage on a train. Elena dropped one of her Elite Emblems on the train, alerting the infiltrating player Turk that she was on board. Elena tasked herself with attacking a Raven as the player arrived, but the player Turk traded the Support Materia for Elena. After being saved, Elena vowed to become a Turk and surpass her sister. Afterward, the player Turk used Elena's private training area as a hideout from AVALANCHE for a short time.
Elena is the newest recruit, being appointed to the Turks after Reno sustained injuries battling AVALANCHE in Midgar. She introduces herself to the party in the Mythril Mine, where she accidentally slips and reveals their orders. She and Tseng explore the Temple of the Ancients before Tseng is attacked by Sephiroth when Elena leaves - she later blames the attack on Cloud.
As part of a subquest, she and Yuffie are kidnapped by Don Corneo, and Reno and Rude work together with the player party to save them. Elena, Reno and Rude confront the party for a final battle in the Midgar subway, but it is possible to talk them out of fighting, if the party completed the subquest in Wutai. This is Elena's final appearance in the game.
Elena appears briefly in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Her role is much less prominent than that of her partners', Reno and Rude. She spends most of the movie off-camera recovering from being tortured by Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo after retrieving Jenova's head from the Northern Cave. Later on, she and Tseng show up just in time to save Rufus from falling to his death after he launches himself off a building edge in an effort to destroy Jenova's head. Near the movie's end, Elena is seen with her comrades as Rufus's Geostigma is cured.
In Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete, Elena has a slightly larger role in assisting Tseng with saving Rufus from falling off the abandoned building and assisting the other Turks with Cloud fighting Yazoo and Loz on the highway. Elena tosses a ladder down to Reno and Rude during the chase after Yazoo destroys their helicopter and has them board the one she is on with Tseng. Elena appears with a small band-aid on her right cheek and her left hand wrapped up from the injuries sustained from the hands of Kadaj and his gang.
Abilities:
- Firearms Elena is experienced in the field of firearms, she is a pretty good aimed markswoman – is that a word? – and can use various types of firearms like her sister, but when on the job and it’s pretty simple, she carries around a single handgun.
- Martial Arts Having attended the ShinRa academy and wanted to surpass her sister, Elena took training in Martial arts and became very proficient in the art. If the gun doesn’t succeed, it’s hand to hand combat for this blonde!
