Introduction
The daughter of a wealthy tribe leader, Elena is always eager to make new friends. Her dancing is both a martial art and an extention of her personality. When a mysterious evil threatens her village, she decides to travel the world in search of those who are responsible, while making new friends along the way.
Elena excels at playing footsies, easily keeping most characters at bay with her long-ranged Crouching Light Punch. This normal alone can shut down the gameplan of many characters, and can confirm into high damage. She also has a monstrous mixup game with meter; any cancellable normal can be followed up with EX Mallet Smash, a near unreactable overhead that grants a followup combo, or Lynx Tail, a multi-hit low that knocks down and can FADC for big damage. Her EX Scratch Wheel is a fairly strong reversal option, so opponents who manage to work their way in are still subject to risk. And perhaps Elena's most infamous move, her Healing Ultra II essentially turns her into the highest health character in the game if she can safely activate it. Elena's toolset encourages a slow, defensive playstyle and the threat of running out the clock, which can easily frustrate opponents into approaching recklessly.
