==History==
===Early life===
Elena was born the firstborn child of King Raul and Queen Lucia of the kingdom of Avalor, where she lived a happy life alongside her family, which consisted her parents and her little sister Isabel, grandparents Francisco and Luisa, as well as her maternal first cousin, Esteban, who she loved as a brother mainly because his parents passed away during a boat trip and he had come to live with them. On the day of her 15th birthday, as was the family tradition, her mother gave her (as her birthday gift) one of their families most prized heirlooms: a pink amulet said to have magical powers that would protect it's wearer from any harm, though didn't think she would ever need it, what she didn't know was that one day her and her family's life would change forever.
One fateful day an entire year later, while her parents were away and had just gotten back, Elena headed outside the castle to greet them, when all of a sudden a evil sorceress named Shuriki suddenly appeared before them, hungry for control of the kingdom, Elena could only watch in horror as the sorceress killed her parents right in front of her which caused her to run away from the scene as Shuriki continued her attack. Knowing that Shuriki is coming for the rest of her family, the royal wizard at the time Alacazar decided to protect the rest of them by sealing them all in an enchanted painting, but since he needed time to cast the spell, Elena boldly decided to fight Shuriki on her own, but because she didn't have any magic, Elena could do nothing against her as Shuriki tried to kill her with a direct attack.
Fortunately the Amulet did prove itself to live up to it's legend and it saved Elena's life... just in the most craziest way possible: pulling her soul inside it, and when Shuriki assumed she succeeded in killing the princess, Alacazar picked up the amulet and quickly set out to free Elena. At the suggestion of some magical advice, Elena and Alacazar spent the next 41 years traveled across the Everrealm to find a special princess who could free her, passing it on from princess-to-princess in the hopes one of them would be the one to free her by testing them by giving them gifts or curses depending how they act, but none them proved to be just the right one. Unfortunately Alacazar soon grew too old to continue their search for the princess, but he heard wind that inside a giant tree in the kingdom of Enchancia in an enchanted Library filled with numerous enchanted books that have no ending, & thinking it's their last best shot in freeing Elena, Alacazar took refuge their and used magic to turn himself into a book telling Elena's current life in hopes a story-keeper would one day give it a happy ending.
The Amulet itself (with Elena still inside it) was then transferred to the the ownership of Enchancia's royal family but they had no idea that Elena was inside it, she soon found herself in the protection of Enchancia's princess Matilda, but when she soon grew up and abdicated the throne to become a duchess/adventurer, Elena would find herself in the Castle's jewelry room. That is until Matilda's younger brother Roland, who became King in Matilda's place, re-married a young shoemaker named Miranda and in-turn step-fathered a young girl named Sofia, seeing another chance to see if she's the princess she needs, Elena made the amulet glow to get Roland to notice it and give the amulet as a welcome-gift to her.
===Elena of Avalor===
When Elena turned fifteen, her mother Queen Lucia gave her the Amulet of Avalor, a magical amulet that her parents hoped would always protect her from harm. One year later, Shuriki, an evil power-hungry sorceress from the Northern Islands, invaded Avalor and killed her parents. Alacazar, Avalor's Royal Wizard, came up with a way to save her family. Because he needed time to cast it, Elena made the choice to face Shuriki on her own. When Shuriki tried to strike her down, the Amulet saved Elena by pulling her inside it. When the Amulet was given to Sofia the First of Enchancia, Elena knew she was the one who would free her.
Once freed from the amulet where she stay for 41 years, Elena, orphaned, after finally defeating Shuriki, thought she would become queen, but she have to be the crowned princess and queen in learning for a while, with her cousin as the regent.
Over the course of season 1, Elena can make her scepter send beams of light as it is "The light scepter". Plus, Elena herself became magic because of the time spent in the amulet-and her powers grows. She soon discovers she can as well see humans ghosts on Dia del los muertos, and see and summons spirits at all times. She also discovers that her scepter can make her disappear, and she can breathe underwater thanks to a magic seaweed.
Later, Elena fall into the well of crystals and become more powerful. Her emotions can create magic and her dress change of color accordingly ( Red: Normal, Orange: Anger, Yellow: Joy, Blue: Sadness, Purple: Fear/Stress, Pink: Love, Cyan: Calm, White: Forgiveness).
