- —Elena (Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike and Street Fighter × Tekken)
Elena (エレナ Erena?) is a video game character from the Street Fighter series, first appearing in Street Fighter III: New Generation. She is a lighthearted, nature-loving capoeira fighter from Kenya who is currently studying abroad.
Biography
Appearance
Elena is uncommonly tall for a woman; being 6'1” (186 cm) tall in Street Fighter 6(in other games she is 6’0”). She has dark skin, short silvery-white hair and blue eyes. She is barefoot while fighting and has long, powerful legs. Many official artworks, mainly the SFIII ones, depict her finger and toenails painted sky-blue. 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. This makes her attire the most revealing for a playable female character in the Street Fighter series' history. In Street Fighter 6, her white bikini main outfit became as her nostalgia outfit. In one of the illustrations in World Tour when she spars with her brother Marcus, her white bikini top from her main outfit became strapless.
In her Shadaloo C.R.I. profile artwork, Elena's hair has slightly grown and is styled into a shoulder length bob. Her primary outfit remains largely the same. Her bands on her arm, leg, shin and ankles have two small bows hanging loose. She also has a gold bracelet in each sides of her wrists and ankles.
Much like Gill and his asymmetrical body, her revealing attire and the numerous colorful bands that adorn her body were likely designed by Capcom to display the graphical power of the CPS-3 board.
In her 2nd Impact ending, Elena is seen wearing a Japanese school uniform similar to Sakura's, except that her neckerchief is red, and she wears brown shoes with long loose socks. She has this outfit as her alternate costume in Street Fighter X Tekken and Ultra Street Fighter IV; in those games, she has a pink cellphone around her skirt, her socks each have a gold ring around them, and her bloomers/panties are shown to be blue. In her 3rd Strike ending, she was wearing a white high-neck sleeveless shirt, red pants and black shoes. She also carries a small black bag.
In a photo of Narumi and herself during the festivities in Japan, she was seen wearing a traditional blue kimono with white butterfly designs and a salmon pink obi tied on her waist, the skirt showing her right leg.
In Street Fighter 6, Elena’s new look features a small white sports bra that reveals a subtle underboob, highlighting her toned, athletic physique. She wears zebra-striped white pants held at the waist by a red rope commonly worn by Capoeira practitioners, along with sandals that have red straps and white ribbons tied around the heels. Her hair appears longer, consistent with the design shown on her Shadaloo C.R.I. profile, with her bangs now cut in a blunt shape and accompanied by long sidelocks. Elena also sports a red bandanna with yellow detailing around her neck, a blue bracelet, and a white-and-red beaded bracelet on her right wrist. On her left arm, she wears three silver bands, and her ears are adorned with long black hoop earrings. This new look blends elements of her iconic bikini-top outfit with the pants and sandals featured in her ending from Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, creating a fresh yet familiar style that emphasizes both her grace and physique.
Her third alternate costume has her wearing a loose baggy overalls as the strap resembles suspenders. The overalls are half-white with yellow orange flower design and half-sky blue. This outfit also shows her yellow bikini top with orange rose design and yellow and light blue sandals. Her hair was cut short and slicked back and wears a sky blue headband on her forehead adorned with a yellow orange rose at the right.
In World Tour where she spends time with her friends in high school following their graduation and their graduation trip in Africa, Elena wears a brown swim top with gold Samoan designs on the left and a matching brown bikini with the same gold Samoan designs. She also wears a blue beaded anklet along with a silver loose anklet on her left ankle.
When Elena was a doctor in-training or a medical student to become a veterinarian while checking the health on wild animals after inspiring her father Jafari who was doctorate in medicine, she wears a safari outfit; a spring green short sleeved button shirt with two pockets, khaki shorts, and brown dress shoes and white socks. Elena's hair was pulled down in a ponytail and wears a safari hat with a loose rope in each side and carries a stethoscope.
When Elena was a baby being christening by both of her parents Jafari and Amina and how she gained her natural innate ability to her ancestors after being washed with the fountain of life, she was covered by a white cloth.
Personality
Elena is a young girl with a strong, pure spirit and a cheerful "tomboy" personality similar to Sakura, Ibuki and fellow rival Makoto (though not as brash and fiery-tempered as the latter), as she is normally seen smiling or laughing sweetly. She is a very cheery person who looks to make friends, which motivated her to join the 3rd world tournament to meet new people and hopefully make friends. While very energetic and benevolent, she is also smart, sociable, and culture-adaptive, always eager to learn more about the world, which is part of the reason for her travels.
She also has an unusual accent, which she refers to as something she got from her travels around the world in one of her win quotes in 3rd Strike. Elena is also able to hear and comprehend various rhythms as well as the voices of the wind and trees.
Elena's views of fighting and martial arts differ from most due to her lighthearted and naïve personality, allowing her to befriend some people and annoy others. Much like Dee Jay, Elena considered martial arts to be similar to a dance, in that it involves rhythmic movements and choreography to succeed.
Elena's favorite type of men are ones who have "an unbeatable heart"[6], which refers to her belief that a battle should only be fought with one's own strength, rather than the use of external powers. It is because of this that Elena detests C. Viper and Juri Han for using gadgets and Feng Shui Engine during the fight, respectively.
In Street Fighter 6, Elena served as a "bridge" between the Satsui no Hado and the Power of Nothingness. She considered both powers to be two sides of the natural powers, and as such neither are inherently good nor evil. It is because of this that she is able to "befriend" Akuma, who is notorious for his fearsome reputation. However, Elena is able to tell when she sees a purely evil person based on their intentions, as seen in her win quote against M. Bison in Street Fighter X Tekken ("I don't need the wind to tell me that you are a very bad man!") or JP in Street Fighter 6 ("Unfortunately, I get the distinct impression that you and I cannot be friends...").
Concept
The development process of Elena started with the Street Fighter III team deciding on the country of origin before anything else. When they settled on Africa, they felt a female character would be more fitting than a male because a male fighter would end up being (stereotypically) "stern".[8] The team chose Capoeira as a fighting style because their image of African women was that they had long arms and legs. At the time where there wasn't a lot of information available on Capoeira, the team had to get the most info from travel-related videos, buying everything off the shelves without knowing if the videos have any useful info or not.[8]
According to Elena's creator, Akiman, she was designed to be an African Yuki Uchida.[9] Elena was also originally envisioned to use a long spear.[10]
Character Relationships
Makoto
Elena thinks of Makoto as a friend due to their shared interest in fighting, while Makoto just thinks she is weird and can't be taken seriously.
In the UDON comic continuity both Makoto and Elena continue to go to Atago Gongen High School alongside Sarai while Ibuki has graduated and is currently in University.
Akuma
During their initial encounter in Street Fighter III, Elena is notable for being the only few people who is capable of making Akuma, who is notorious for his fearsome complexion, to smile.
This implied friendship is later elaborated in Street Fighter 6. Unlike other fighters who are wary of the destructive potential of the Satsui no Hado, Elena does not fear Akuma and considers her powers over nature and Akuma's powers as two sides of the same coin (a view which Akuma shares). While Akuma does not consider Elena a friend, believing it to be an obstacle to his quest for strength, he nevertheless does not take exception to her claim that they are.
Despite Akuma's fearsome reputation, Elena seems to consider him her mentor and spars with him from time to time. To Elena, Akuma and Ryu represents the two sides of nature and as such she believes they can coexist.
Ryu
Ryu and Elena have respect for each other for their respective fighting styles, though the notion of her considering Akuma as a friend does confuse Ryu somewhat.
Elena is one of the only few people who is able to recognize the similarity between Ryu and Akuma, particularly their commitment to becoming the strongest. As Elena recognized the Power of Nothingness and the Satsui no Hado to be a part of natural powers, she suggested that Ryu are closer to Akuma than he realized, potentially even able to become friends after settle their differences, causing Ryu to scoff at that very notion.
Ibuki
Ibuki and Elena together.
In Ibuki's SFIII story mode, Elena stops to talk to Ibuki while she is on a mission.
In the non-canon comics Elena and Ibuki are positively friends, with Ibuki taking a much better initial meeting with Elena than Makoto did. It is shown that Ibuki, Makoto, and sometimes Sarai, travel together. One notable example was when they were all in Gill's island in Street Fighter Unlimited.
Elena is later shown to still be in contact and be friends with Ibuki after Ibuki graduates from High School in Back To School Special.
Hugo
After Hugo defeated her, she and him became tag-team wrestling partners.
Sakura
Though they didn't have a rival cutscene, Elena and Sakura are great friends; and based on her ending, it is implied Sakura was the one who guided her through Japan.
Dee Jay
Elena showing concern for Dee Jay.
In the Street Fighter Unlimited side series of comics Elena has shown to have started a friendship with Dee Jay of sorts. First after all the fighters arrive Elena has been shown to be dancing alongside Dee Jay near his stereo, both discussing and complementing each other's dance style. This would be later interrupted by Ibuki and Makoto (though mostly Ibuki) who asked if they could practice fighting with Dee Jay, however Dee Jay instead cranked up his radio and in turn the three girls started dancing to his "beats" and were later joined by many other in the island.
Later in the story Dee Jay is shown going one on one against Ryu, Elena is shown cheering for Dee Jay the whole time and shows great concern when Dee Jay is slammed very hard against a wall near where Elena and her own gang of friends are, both Makoto and Ibuki also showing concern for him.
Story
Background
Elena is a princess of an East African nation that has a cultural tradition of fighting. Her father, Jafari, is the chief of the region, and a traditional healer who also qualified in France for a doctorate degree in medicine.
Elena desires 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.
Ultra Street Fighter IV
While sparring with her brother Marcus, Elena feels unsettled by the feelings she senses from the surrounding trees. Her father Jafari, the patriarch of the tribe confirms her suspicions, claiming to have already discussed the matter with the Shaman. It has been determined that "a bringer of death" once walked amongst their people. The "seeds of sadness" this individual has proceeded to sow around the world have caused the trees to respond with "strange noises". These noises, presumably detectable by those with a strong connection to nature such as Elena and the Shaman, are implied to be the source of her disquiet.
Believing that this person is associated with the upcoming S.I.N. tournament, he then reveals that he has decided to enter her into it. Furthermore, as head of the tribe, he then commands her (amid protests from her brother) to observe the fighters and thus determine "the truth". Elena cheerfully accepts his decisions.
After the tournament, Elena informs her father that she has made many friends along the way. As she says so, she reflects on the fighters in the tournament and recalls her experiences: dancing with Blanka, sampling El Fuerte's cooking, having afternoon tea with Dudley, and taking a photo of herself with a somewhat reticent Akuma. She resolves to travel the World and become friends with people from every country. With that, she decides to head to Japan for her next trip. The last scene shows a close-up of Sakura, which may imply that she was the one who guides Elena in Japan.
Street Fighter III series
In her ending, Elena ends up being transferred to a high school in Japan as an exchange student, where she has befriended a young Japanese girl named Narumi and writes home to her parents about her experiences. Her story does not change much in 2nd Impact, although she has an additional role as one of Hugo's potential partners in one of his multiple endings as "Elena the Wilderness Warrior", becoming the tag team of "Beauty and the Beast".
In 3rd Strike, a year has passed since Elena has left Japan to study abroad in France during the new year. Before beginning her studies again, Elena decides to street fight once again to seek new friends. In her ending, Elena writes back to her Japanese friend Narumi after returning to France from spending her summer vacation in Japan again, and invites Narumi to visit her in Africa during her winter vacation. Elena is exploring around in France, stating that it's going to be hardworking, continuing her studies.
Street Fighter 6
At some point during her travels, Lily Hawk fights Elena.
Elena makes a comeback on June 5th, 2025.
A cheerful girl raised in the arms of the savannah, and a member of a clan of proud warriors. She has a talent for healing, and seeks to become a veterinarian.
Arcade Mode
Elena: TBA
Elena befriends Akuma after both had a sparring match in his cavern and was very thankful enough for him to have a good fight and she knows that everyone is very afraid of him. Akuma also tells her that Satsui no Hado and her natural strength are two of the same coins. With this in mind, Elena decided to take on a journey to seek answers about to live and to fight. Being guided by Narumi at her travels in Japan, she meets Ryu and seeking answers from him about to live and to fight and Ryu knows this answer. Ryu then decided to battle Elena, stating that he will share his story from her. After the battle, Elena was happy to have a fight with Ryu and Narumi comes to see them because she was worried to her friend. Elena also states that Ryu and Akuma had the same personality and she predicts that both of them will settle their differences and become friends, causing Ryu to retort about her sentence (since he and Akuma currently remained as enemies) and Elena happily laughs stating that Ryu and Akuma are her friends after he commented her for being a peculiar young woman and Elena points out about him and Akuma are the same.

Crossover appearances
Street Fighter X Tekken
Elena appeared in Street Fighter X Tekken (as a DLC character in the console and PC versions and as default in the PS Vita version), making her first 3D debut. Her swap costume is Julia Chang's outfit.
A few elements of Elena's story are based on her role in the Street Fighter III: Ryu Final manga (mentioned below), including her choice of partner: Dudley.
In her story, Elena finds herself summoned to Dudley's estate — as she explains to the British boxer, she was told by a tree in his garden that the two of them must take a journey to Antarctica. While Dudley agrees to accompany the young woman, he insists that he return in time for his next title bout. Along the way, the two meet Tekken's Christie Monteiro and Lei Wulong, the former of whom Elena asks to spar with. Christie agrees, and the two men are reluctantly dragged into the fight with them.
While Dudley was less than thrilled about the journey to begin with, it turns out that Elena's cheerful demeanor helped make it a fun trip. As Pandora opens, it creates a geyser of light, reminding Elena of "flowers falling from the sky", prompting Dudley to invite her to his garden. Returning to Britain, Elena told the tree who summoned her all about the trip, and the tree seemed to be listening intently.
Comics
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 uniform.
UDON comics
Street Fighter Legends: Ibuki
In the Street Fighter 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 gains immediate attention due to her unusual height and her status as a transfer student. She is directed by one of the male students 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 vs. Darkstalkers
During the crossover, Elena arrives in the company of Charlie and Victor von Gerdenheim. She uses her spiritual abilities to heal Lord Raptor and revert him to human form, as well revert Ken to normal after he's been transformed into Violent Ken. She was also shown healing others in various different situations and was more of a combat medic of her group. Her pure nature has made her virtually immune to the taint of Makai.
Street Fighter: The Novel
Elena appears in UDON's Street Fighter: The Novel book.
Street Fighter: Hyper Looting
Elena battling Juri Han in Hyper Looting.
Elena appears as part of Abel's team attempting to find the exclusive Loot Crate in a cargo ship. The comic was made as an exclusive series to promote the titular service. Unlike Guile's team Abel's is not as closely followed. Abel's team is shown battling S.I.N. forces and despite Abel seemingly defeating Seth Elena is shown being around evenly matched against another kick oriented female in Juri with no fighter gaining a clear advantage over the other in battle.
Street Fighter: Back To School Special
Makoto and Elena hearing and considering Ibuki's pitch.
In this comic Elena and Makoto are shown similarly considering future options how Ibuki was in her own comic. After both girls had a wrestling match and school ended Elena mentioned to Makoto that the College fair was going to be that day in their High School further adding Ibuki was going to be there. While at the college fair Elena and Makoto heard pitches from Karin, Sakura and Ibuki herself and the path their advertised selections could lead to. Each pitch showed both Makoto and Elena if they accepted the pitched future with both seeing a business future with Karin, a sports oriented one with Sakura and a ninja oriented one with Ibuki as they know her University secretly trains ninjas. Elena and Makoto witness the fight Karin, Sakura and Ibuki had against Akira, Yurika Kirishima and Zaki from Rival Schools due to the Rival School representatives being there unauthorized initially being amazed at the spectacle but losing interest and instead showing interest in Dan's pitch.
Cameo appearances
Elena can be seen in the following games.
- The Beach stage in Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix.
- The London stage in Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001.
- Felicia's Capcom Fighting Evolution ending.
- G's arcade ending in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition.
Gameplay
Fighting style and abilities
Elena's fighting style, Capoeira, is of West African and Brazilian origin. The style utilizes her strong, long legs to execute amazing dance-like moves and fancy legwork. As such, excluding grabs, her moveset consists entirely of kicks and leg throws. She is the first Street Fighter character to use only kicks, in contrast to Dudley and Balrog (excluding his stomp in his Dirty Bull Ultra Combo and his Stomping Combo attack), who only use upper-body based attacks (e,g. punches, headbutts).
Elena is one of the two characters in the Street Fighter III games with a move that regenerates her health in the middle of a match, the other being Gill. Overall she and Gill are two of the few Street Fighter characters with this kind of ability; the only other such occurrence within the main series is in Street Fighter Alpha 3, when Juli and Juni, fighting together as an AI-controlled sub-boss team, can also heal themselves. Outside of the main series, Ace from Street Fighter EX3 has a healing super move among the moves the player can assign to him, and in the Street Fighter: The Movie game released for arcades, all characters had the ability to restore health.
Moveset
Elena's moveset primarily centers around her long legs, with strong pokes that make her difficult to contend with at mid-range. Her special moves cover a wide range of angles and are useful for both mixing the opponent up and keeping them out. Mallet Smash and Lynx Tail hit overhead and low respectively, while Spin Scythe has an optional follow-up input to keep the opponent guessing. Rhino Horn is an advancing attack that can be followed up in the corner. Scratch Wheel is Elena's primary reversal and anti-air option, letting her keep airborne opponents at bay back into the mid-range.
Her Street Fighter 6 appearance redesigns Lynx Tail and Mallet Smash into Lynx Song, a spinning stance that can be followed up with a long-ranged Leopard Snap, a launching Harvest Circle, an overhead Mallet Smash, or Lynx Whirl, an additional spin that powers up the aforementioned followups further. Spin Scythe can also be cancelled into Lynx Whirl, making Elena's attacks even trickier to predict. Moon Glider further emphasizes her movement by stepping back before dropping a heel kick, potentially avoiding counterpokes and returning one of her own.
Elena's Super Arts are varied between appearances and functionality. In Street Fighter III, Spinning Beat serves as Elena's first Super Art, a series of Scratch Wheels, while her Super Art 2 Brave Dance lunges forward for a series of strikes. Super Art 3 Healing forgoes damage in favor of regenerating some of Elena's health. While a difficult trade-off as a Super Art, its appearance as an Ultra Combo in Ultra Street Fighter IV was infamous for its many setups and low tradeoff, effectively giving Elena significantly more health per round.
Elena's Super Arts in Street Fighter 6 share similar utility to their predecessors. Her Level 1 Super Art Meteor Volley is an anti-air that can be followed up with additional juggles. Level 2 Super Art Revival Dance is a flurry of kicks that can end prematurely for Elena to heal, sacrificing damage for health. Finally, Song of the Grasslands is Elena's Level 3 Super Art, bouncing her opponent around with a series of kicks.
