Elena

Elena (エレナ) is a character in the Street Fighter series. She first appeared in Street Fighter III and is voiced by Hotaru Fujino in New Generation and 2nd Impact and by Mie Midori in 3rd Strike.

Story
Elena is a princess of an East African nation that has a cultural tradition of fighting. Her fighting style is Capoeira which is of West African and Brazilian origin. The style utilizes her strong, long legs to execute dance-like moves and fancy legwork. Her father, chief of the region, is a witch doctor who also qualified in France for a doctorate degree in medicine. 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. Elena a : JÓ KURVA ANYÁD faluban született good fighter.

Street Fighter Legends 3: Ibuki
In the UDON comic focused on Ibuki, Elena makes a transfer submission to study in Japan and is accepted, with the acceptance letter citing her exemplary school transcript and many personal references. She transfers to the same school as Ibuki, Makoto and Sarai, albeit in a lower grade than them. She introduces herself to her new school as seeking to befriend martial artists, and is directed towards Makoto, who takes an immediate dislike to her. However Ibuki is more accepting and eventually they are all fast friends. It is here that she also meets Narumi (who introduces herself as Naru).

Along with Makoto and Sarai, Elena watches Ibuki complete her ninja exam on Mt Atago, and afterwards is ambushed by the Geki ninja clan. The girls fight their way out of captivity and rush to save the burning Glade of Ninjas.

Street Fighter III: Ryu Final
Elena has a small but nevertheless important role in the Street Fighter III: Ryu Final manga. She is able to mystically communicate with Ryu via a sacred tree when Ryu was temporarily knocked out during his battle with Dudley. After speaking with Elena, Ryu is able to develop a new technique called "The Fist of the Wind" with which he defeats Dudley. She is last seen travelling in her Japanese high school unifrom.

Appearance
Elena has silvery-white hair, blue eyes, and dark skin. She is barefoot while fighting and has long, powerful legs. Her attire consists of a white two-piece bikini-like outfit with pale red, sky-blue, gold and purple bands on her neck, arms, wrists, shins, and ankles, making hers arguably the most revealing fight attire for a female in Street Fighter-verse history.

Personality
Elena is a strong-spirited, pure-hearted young girl with a very cheerful, teenage-like personality (similarly to Sakura), though in a more tomboyish style. She is also shown to be very sweet-hearted and devoid of any maliciousness, yet smart, sociable and culture-adaptative, as she constantly refers to her accent as "something she got from her travels around the world" - her constant travels are on purpose of not only fighting new adversaries, but also knowing other countries and learning more about their respective people and cultures.

Other Appearances
Elena appears in Street Fighter X Tekken (as a DLC character in the console and PC versions and as default in the PS Vita version), making it her first 3D debut. Her partner is Dudley.

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 (it should be noted that Dudley uses an elbow strike for his jumping HK and Balrog uses headbutts for his throws and his anti-air charge move).

Elena is one of the only Street Fighter characters 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. The only other similar situation is in Street Fighter Alpha 3, when Juni and Juli fight together as an AI-controlled sub-boss team, as they can also heal themselves.
