==Biography==
===Ys III: Wanderers from Ys===
Elena is introduced bumping into Dogi while running on an errand in Redmond where she realizes that he has not changed a bit from their last meeting. She explains to Dogi that she has not seen him for the past few months and needs to hurry with her errand.
After Adol saved Mayor Edgar/Grady from the mines, he meets Elena with Dogi in the Inn where Adol learns that the blonde-haired man who was hostile to him in the mine was her older brother Chester Stoddart who began working with King McGuire for half a year and has gone to the Illvern Ruins and she went there in search for him only to find beasts infesting it.
She also found her brother's pendant in the area, and she is certain he went there. Dogi also explains that the town priest Pierre went to the ruins the other day without coming back. After Adol manages to escape the underground lava cave when Chester kicked him there for spying, he crossed paths with Elena who hid with him beind a door when Garland and Chester were coming. It's here that that Adol and Elena learn that Pierre was taken to the dungeon in Valestine Castle.
After Garland loses his temper over the fire dragon Gilan's failure to kill Adol when he slew it and Chester's own failure to kill him, when Adol finds a hidden path behind a statue, Elena explains to Adol that a statue like the one he found in the mines is located behind it.
She explains that the legend as told by her brother is that a flying beast protects this very statue. Adol then tells Elena that she must return to town as he fetches the statue. After Adol procures the statue, Elena finds Chester trying to kill Adol and convinces him to stop in spite of wanting revenge for the destruction of his old hometown.
Elena then returns to town with Adol before tending to other things. When Adol went to Valestein Castle to save the captive people of Redmond, Elena greets him at the tunnel that leads to it that she hoped to find her brother before Adol has her stay behind in regard to how ruthless the folks within Valestein Castle are.
When Adol reaches a religious-looking area, Elena arms herself with a knife and warns Adol of Garland's intent to attack him. After Garland heads towards the throne room via a secret passage, Adol has Elena stay behind again as he tracks down Garland.
After Adol saves the townsfolk, kills Garland for the first time, and given the Evil Night Statue by a remorseful King McGuire needed to enter Galbalan's domain, Adol meets Elena when Galbalan kidnaps her and demands the four statues if she was to live.
When Adol and a reformed Chester arrive at the top of a tower in Galbalan's domain, they find that Galbalan has tied Elena up on a platform at the other side of a gap. When Chester demands Galbalan to take him instead of Elena, Galbalan tears out the ground Chester was standing on and brings him to Elena's side as he relishes in the idea of siblings dying together.
When Elena protests death being dealt to Galbalan and his followers as they are living beings, Chester counters this by pointing out that letting Galbalan live will lead to not just their deaths, but also the annihilation of the entire world.
After Adol defeats Galbalan, he reunites with Elena who explains that Chester went to the center of Galbalan's island and stops Adol from pursuing him as they need to escape and it's Chester's responsibility to stop Galbalan. Elena explains that Chester will be alive in her memories and that their hometown was destroyed as it was founded by the descendants of Genos who stopped Galbalan in the past and that its people could interfere in his return.
The only person who knew how to destroy the island was Chester who needs to stay in order to ensure Galbalan's demise forever. After Adol and Elena escape the island as it got destroyed, she catches up to watch as Adol and Dogi are leaving Felghana. 
===Oath in Felghana===
When Adol and Dogi arrive in Felghana, the former finds Elena surrounded by three wolves. After Adol manages to cut them down, Elena recognizes that Adol is a traveler with Dogi managing to catch up after dealing with the wolves that attacked him with him wondering why these creatures were in Felghana.
Dogi suggests that they head to Redmont when Elena recognizes him as a childhood friend who played with her and her brother Chester. When they arrive at the gate, its keeper, Mr. Gardner, asks Elena where she was.
After Elena apologized, Gardner is willing to agree to pretend it never happened as long she is safe. Gardner also recognizes Dogi as his "favorite troublemaker" who has come home. Dogi tells of how he wandered, killed monsters, and saved the world.
