[edit] Story
Elena is a princess in an African tribe that has a cultural tradition of fighting, making her a warrior princess. She may have been born in Kenya, but her fighting style is Capoeira which utilizes her strong, long legs with dance-like moves and fancy legwork. Her father, the tribe's chief, is a witch doctor. However, he also has a PhD in medicine obtained from a French university. Elena's views of fighting and martial arts differ from most due to her light hearted personality allowing her to befriend some people and annoy others. She wants to travel around the world, meeting new friends along the way. She studied as an exchange student in Japan, where she met her best friend Narumi. She later continued those studies in France.
[edit] Appearance
Her general attire consists of a white two-piece outfit with multi-coloured (pale red, sky-blue, gold and purple) bands on her neck, arms, wrists, and shins and gold anklets. She has white hair, blue eyes and dark skin. She goes barefoot and sports turquoise nail polish.
[edit] Techniques
Elena's fighting style consists entirely of kicks and leg throws, even when the player uses a punch button command. She is the only Street Fighter character to use only kicks, in opposition to Dudley and Balrog who only use punches.
Elena is the only Street Fighter character who has the ability to use Healing, a Super Art which allows Elena to regain up to 1/3 of her life energy bar if given the opportunity.
[edit] Trivia
- Elena's voice actress speaks English with a Japanese-Australian accent, despite the character being Kenyan. In one of Elena's win quotes in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, it's suggests that she acquired this eclectic accent through her many travels. Elena often greets her opponent at the beginning of a match with "Jambo!", Swahili for hello.
- Elena is the only African character in the Street Fighter series.
- Elena's multi-colored bangles were a good showcase of Capcom's new hardware; CPS-3. The earlier CPS-2 allowed each sprite to be colored from a palette of only 16 colors.
