**Elaine Sawamura** (Japanese: **澤村 エレイン** *Sawamura Erein*), pre-timeskip was a first year student at Alexandra Military Academy. She was one of the volleyball club`s wing spikers. Currently, she is a college student who has starred in many roles and is a well-known voice actress. During her years in High School, she went by the alias of **Her Majesty**, renown to be one of the most dangerous female volleyball players who was also a member of the U-15 Japanese Fencing Team.

## **Appearance**

Being a hafu (Japanese by her mother and British by her father), Elaine has the golden-blonde hair inherited from her father, with her emerald-green eyes also being inherited from her father. She is shorter than a typical Japanese girl, but despite that, her body is many leagues more stronger and more durable than an typical schoolgirl`s body. Sporting a petite body frame, and pale skin inherited from her British parents, she is described as a beautiful teenager girl. Her hair is waist-length, being worn in two big drills, save for a slightly curled cowlick. Her typical attire is elegant gowns and a variety of headbands decorated with flowers or ribbons. Her accessories include gold earrings and low-heeled shoes. She usually carries a smile as her typical expression, but does scowl at times.

## **Personality**

In front of others, Elizabeth persistently maintains an innocent demeanor; this is because her aunt, Angelica Sawamura, had instilled in her the notion that all ladies should act weak and endearing in front of their lords, smile often, and be surrounded by nice things. However, beneath this facade of ladylike mannerisms, Elaine is a truly brave, clever, and natural talented swordswoman who usually spins double swords for both offensive and defensive movements.

Moreover, Daichi is a very important person to Elaine, to the degree that her family members even labelled her feelings almost as an "obsession." She usually goes to great lengths just to make him smile, although she acknowledges that she does overdo it occasionally. Elaine is frequently consumed with worry for him, and thus earnestly desires to protect him at all costs, both emotionally and physically. Daichi even acknowledged that his younger sister, was so caring and compassionate concerning his physical and mental health that she sometime overworked herself taking care of him and her.

She is ruthless when it comes to volleyball and does not openly mock her team`s opponents, but merely comments on how they will win. An efficient wing-spiker, she does not like to exert more energy then is needed to win, as commented on by her team. A smart girl, she is a tactical genius and frequently gets in sword-fights with Alice Sugawara, one of her fellow wing-spikers as well as a classmate in all of her classes. Despite her young age, she has mastered almost seven languages and is very fluent in the Queen`s English.

## **Background**

She went to Kitagawa Daiichi Junior High with Kindaichi and Kageyama, and the three are often shown together in various flashbacks, but Elaine is shown more in the flashbacks with her current teammates, as well as her rivals. Elaine, Kunimi, and Kindaichi were the ones who got the coach to bench Kageyama (though in Kageyama's flashbacks, the entire team was shown to be responsible). She, Kunimi, and Kindaichi also seem to be very close friends, likely from attending the same junior high, though whether they were friends before then is unknown. She currently goes to Alexandra Military Academy and is a starting wing spiker on the volleyball team, as well as their official manager.

## **Plot**

### **Karasuno High Team Formation Arc**

Aobajohsai plays a practice match against Karasuno. Elaine appears to talk to Kunimi and Kindaichi congratulating them on making it into their dream school, before running off to scold her teammates who had also come to watch the practice match as well. Her teammates are scolded by their team`s captain, Erika Azumane and then hauled off to their bus.

### **Interhigh Arc**

Alexandra enters the arena and as it passes by, Elaine calls out to her older brother wishing him luck before she is glared at by her team`s captain and sits down immediately.

#### **Karasuno vs Aobajohsai**

Aobajohsai later goes up against Karasuno. Alexandra`s Volleyball Team and Riverstone Military Academy`s Volleyball Team sit next to each other, causing tensions between the team`s captains and uneasy reactions from the rest of their teams. After a break is called, Elaine and Alice get into a verbal fight only being stopped by a challenge to battle Riverstone afterwards in a practice match. When Daichi calls her down, Elaine chooses to not take the stairs and instead leaps from the balcony`s railing, with her team calmly telling her not to get injured.

#### **Riverstone Practice Match**

Two days, after Karasuno loses to Aobajohsai High, Elaine heads out to her school accompanied by her older brother for her team`s practice match.

### **Statistics**

 Stamina
 Game Sense
 Technique
 Speed

An efficient player, Elaine is one of the most dangerous first-year regulars on the starting line-up, and is noted for her efficiency when playing volleyball, only exerting energy where it is needed and using more energy only when it is needed. She has taught herself to see the gaps in all blocks, and is always improving, due to this, she is a powerful player. Despite being only a first-year, Elaine doesn`t falter underneath pressure, only getting worked-up when Alice is involved. Due to this, her team often relies on her.

#### **Skills**

* **Jump Serve**: Due to her excellent tactical judgement, she gauges how much energy should be used for an accurate in-bounds jump serve that has both power and control, due to this; she is called the Flash Tactician. Her jump-serve is very stable, but appears to take a lot of energy out of her, so that she doesn`t use it a lot in-game.
* **Straight Spike**: She would use this attack when faced with multiple blockers by spiking the ball through the tight opening between the block and the antenna.
