**Elaina** (イレイナ *Ireina**?***), also known as **El** (エル *Eru***?**), is a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School, where she got in through official recommendations and is training to become a Pro Hero along with her best friend and partner, Charolette. She is the younger half-sister to Zack Hīragi, and one of the main protagonists of the series. It was later revealed that her full name is Elaina Hīragi (柊 イレイナ *Hīragi Ireina*)

## Appearance

Elaina is short with a petite yet voluptuous figure and is stated to be extremely beautiful by many people, her peers describe her as having a delicate and beautiful face that impresses on them a hint of melancholy. She is pale-skinned with elongated canine teeth. She has a case of central heterochromia,where her eyes are blue with a lavender ring around her purple pupils, that become narrow when she is serious or angry, resembling that of a cat's. She has long ashen (lavender) hair reaching below her waist, with bangs styled over her right eye.

Elaina always wears a blue earring compromising of the sun, the moon, and stars. Even in her hero costume.

During school, she wears the regular U.A. uniform, but with a ribbon instead of a tie, worn by her other female classmates. She often styles her hair with a magenta bow.

Her hero costume consists of a beige, open-back halter top with three seams. Along with a victorian style swing skirt, which has two rows of gold buttons on the front, black straps, and a laced design on the left. Leaving both arms exposed. Along with that, she wears a pair of white gloves, and her magenta bow. Under her skirt are mouse gray stockings and sports thigh-high combat boots, with gold buttons on the shoe collar.

The design of her costume being highly lightweight allows her to move around freely and stealthly, as she works best when in light clothing.

After Zack's death she is shown often wearing his brown zip-up hoodie, fortunately, she washed out all the blood stains.

## Personality

Elaina is a very timid and serene person. Along with her passive demeanour, Elaina seems to always be neutral and never exerts effort on anything unless absolutely necessary; thus coming off as distant, or rather jaded. She prefers a rather peaceful, diplomatic approach, even during battle since she doesn't enjoy fighting, preferring to try and reason with her opponent. If, however, it is necessary, Elaina will fight without hesitation. Elaina has shown a habit of adressing people with *sama* (Sir./Lady). She is almost always accompanied by her fox companion, Charolette, as they have a very close relationship.

Do to her attitude, Elaina doesn't speak much, and rarely gets angry. In general, she doesn't express her emotions much, being very reserved. She is emotionally detached to people she knows and keeps her friends away at an arm's length.

Elaina is revealed to be a lonely girl, shut away in her apartment on her own. With high expectations of herself Elaina thought how her older brother was always protecting her and that she could not live up to these expectations. Whilst Zack remained her only friend but in the end, he left her alone in a forest, which she percieved as him abandoning her, and that shattered Elaina's resolve to form bonds with others (Charolette being the exception). When a couple offered to take care of her after seeing the mess in her apartment, she pushed them away, claiming that they are only there to use and exploit her. Elaina's lack of faith in others caused her to believe that she can only rely on herself, as there is no one else to trust. Because of this, she trusts people less overall and is more negative about things, and messy if she is alone.

On the other hand, Elaina is surprisingly smart and clever, having brilliant deduction skills which allow her to analyze and solve different problems and come up with battle strategies with great ease and accuracy. Elaina is very objective, making logical decisions rather than giving in to emotions or opinions, taking a calm and strategic approach to situations, chaotic or not. Despite being overall brilliant, Elaina gets very average grades. She can always find a solution if she gives it enough thought or effort.

Rarely, Elaina shows that she can have a scary and manipulating side, though when pushed too far; she can become very violent when provoked. Her personality while fighting consists of a cruel, but quiet state. This causes her to give off a growling sense. She can be quite cunning and mischievous, teasing her classmates and rarely showing her sadistic trait.

Despite all of that, Elaina is capable of appreciating praise, and has shown to have a tendency of exerting more than what she would usually do when given positive feedback. Elaina can be spontaneous and "very ditzy". Often tripping over rocks when she isn't paying attention, though this has decreased as she grows stronger. She can be quite dense especially in romance, but gets extremely embarassed whenever talking about love. Her face turning red and ext.

She often shows a calm yet incredibly warm attitude towards others and has a very honest personality. She is also kind and she does care about her friends, putting others before herself without being concerned about her own health or even her life. When she wants too she can be quite cheery. Elaina also gets easily scared, intimidated, or stressed out by anyone expressing anger towards her or let alone using a mad tone of voice with her around.

Elaina has a vulnerable complex about her short stature which Katsuki, Charolette, and Denki tease her for, possibly do to Zack's tall stature. Also being insecure about her right eye, which she covered do to not having a different eye color like Zack, as she was aware that they had different biological mothers, and didn't want to face the fact that they weren't fully related.

Due to her superhuman hearing, Elaina gets alarmed and jumpy when she hears a loud sound or something unusal. Which makes scaring her harder as she can sense it coming. Though when scared her first instict is to hide. She has a fear of ghosts, since she can't sense them (Zack being the exception).

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities:** Elaina is a powerful character, being capable of fighting villains on equal terms or even surpass them after she is able to enter Dragon Force.

**High Pain Tolerance:** Elaina possesses good physical resilience. During her time in Fiore, Elaina fights Faust's mechanical Dragon, where she took powerful hits and continued to fight. She was shown being struck by a pro hero's attack while taking little damage and was able to counter-attack immediately. A true testament to her durability was shown when she blocked one of Bakugo's strongest attacks, Howitzer Impact, and emerged practicly unscathed from the enormous explosion that followed the impact. Even being electrocuted with 1,000 volts of electricity only causes her to feel pain, but no physical damage. During her fight with Tomura, after being grabbed on her right arm she quickly sliced it off with her hand to prevent the decay from spreading and counter-attacked.

* **Enhanced Stamina:** Elaina was also shown to have greater physical stamina. Her Quirk allows her to replenish her or her targets stamina, though even without using her quirk, she has shown to have an enhanced amout of stamina. She was still able to fight back, even though she already suffered a lot of major damage. She was able to complete a long-distance run more than 80 kilometers long, and taking place on uneven terrains, and was the only one among the applicants not to exhibit the slightest sign of fatigue. Elaina can bear very intense physical pain without her physical or mental abilities being impaired. An excellent example is provided by her confrontation with the Nomu, in which she had her body take several intese hits and still managed to make calculations and prepare a strategy, even coming up with an idea for a new ability.

* **Enhanced Speed:** Elaina was shown to have improved her speed as she was able to evade Shijoro's attack and appear right behind the boy, allowing her to attack. During the Provisional Hero License Exam, she knocked out a maximum of 108 applicants in less than 30 minutes, her speed being such that the few who managed to catch a glimpse of her only saw a shadow.

Elaina's reflexes are shown to be rather sharp, allowing her to move Uraraka out of Snipe's firing trajectory in an instant, causing the sniper to miss a shot which could otherwise be lethal. Snipe himself went on to praise the duo's dodge. Due to being capable of perceiving subtle shifts and vibrations in the surrounding air currents, Elaina can detect approaching threats, which gives her a split-second increase in her reaction time.

Elaina's agility allows her to attack from every position, move in the enemy's blind spot, and fight on any kind of terrain. Elaina has high agility, which causes her to jump and move easily, jumping over fences and walls way taller than her. In terms of defense, Elaina takes full advantage of her agility to jump out of reach or dodge the enemy's attacks without losing her foothold. She is able to jump high and far by riding on strong gusts of wind and can also slow or deflect falls by creating cushions of air. The constant movement required by this art makes her naturally flexible and agile, making Elaina difficult to hit. Even without the use of her quirk she can easily maneuver around an opponent by ducking, jumping, and sidestepping, appearing to flow around her opponents without expending any energy at all, letting the opponent tire themselves out and thus creating exploitable openings. This conservation of energy combined with high stamina gives her an advantage in prolonged combat. She has an excellent sense of balance, as seen when she was shown standing nonchalance on the back of a horse, and exceptional coordination. During her training with Shoto, Elaina was able to dodge and evade his "Heaven-Piercing Ice Wall" with ease, swiftly leaping from each ice ridge and landing on the slippery ice nonchalance.

As a child, Elaina was naturally and highly skilled at martial arts, and also skillful in using enchantments; Lin once mentioned that she is an incredibly gifted child that looks like a genius. Using her sturdy build and speed, Elaina proves to have the physical abilities to take down multiple opponents at once. Minus using her legs, she additionally was shown being able to wield Zack's scythe extremely well despite her young age, like when she was able to deflect several bullets at once when protecting Katsuki. Elaina is a very strong girl and Lin states that she has the strength that surpasses him, despite having any sort of formal training.

Elaina is also shown to have a strong range in battle, she can jump very far and sprint very fast without assistance from her quirk. She has good strength in her arms, and legs for tough kicking skills. Her arm muscles are used for punching, as well as carrying and use of Zack's scythe.

**Enhanced Senses**: Elaina has a very keen sense of smell. Her nose is capable of identifying people by their scent, as she demonstrated with Jiro and Yaoyorozu. She was also capable of pinpointing Snipe's position, tens of meters away from her, on a cliff, through the smell of the gunpowder used by his rifle's bullets. Elaina has shown extremely fine hearing, able to hear the voices of the hostages 5 blocks away and she could eavesdropping on the meeting that Principal Nezu was having with the teachers all the way from the down the hall. She also possesses great eyesight, having been capable of seeing Koda from afar before her companions can notice where he is. She can also see in the dark.

**Trained Assassin**: She is a strong cambatant but is a master of disguise, infiltration, and stealth. Sometime in her past Elaina was put under extensive torture to make her the perfect killer. Elaina is very proficient in stealth and infiltration. Being skilled in espionage, able to erase her presence, just like Himiko Toga. Jiro, while she had her headphone jacks in the wall, commented that she could hardly hear Elaina's footsteps when she was running alongside her.

**Genius Intellect**: Elaina's ranked S-class in intelligence. Her way of thinking, knowledge, and pragmatism give her the attitude of an adult. She is knowledgeable about a wide variety of topics and is endowed with prodigious intuition and analytical skills. Her deductive abilities have allowed her to make accurate predictions on multiple occasions. She can also bear severe mental strain and still think clearly. To match all of these impressive intellectual capacities, Elaina is also an extremely quick thinker who can adapt to completely unforeseen developments. Academically speaking, Elaina is highly efficient, Charolette stated if she was motivated enough, she could graduate college with a 5.0 gpa, and that she has average grades because she doesn't feel like putting in the effort. Her terrific intellect allows her to pick up on details that would ordinarily go unnoticed on a subconscious level, which results in her feeling a sense of unease towards a certain course of action before realizing why.

Elaina has proven multiple times to be extremely perceptive, whether by gauging a person's approximate power or by detecting their aura or gaze. She could tell at a glance that Mustard was not as strong as he pretended to be, and offered Denki an estimation of how he stacked up against Bakugo, Todoroki, and herself in terms of combat ability. She could also tell at a glance that Mirio was way out of the class' league. She is extremely aware of her surroundings, as she managed to detect Toru's presence in spite of the latter specializing in erasing it.

**Master Strategist:** Elaina has shown herself to be highly intellectual as she was able to memorize all the abilities of the participants, along with their fighting styles and patterns, and then run countless battle scenarios and evaluate the success rate of each of them, even in the middle of a fight, to come up with the most appropriate strategy for her team, the incredible accuracy of which making it seem as if she was predicting the future, thus earning the alias - The Fairy Tactician.

**Musical Talent:** Back in Fiore, Elaina would participate in the Thanksgiving Parade, singing on stage with her best friend, Sherria. When asked if she would sing for them at the School Festival, she refuses saying she won't do something that embarrising again.

### Quirk

Sky Dragon (天の竜 *Ten no ryū***?**): It is a rare quirk being it is a mutation. It grants the user the characteristics of a Sky Dragon.

Elaina, as with Quirk, she can consume her respective element, air, to replenish her energy reserves, allowing her to incorporate the element of air into her body. However, unlike other typs of Dragon Quirks, Sky Dragon can also function in a supportive light, as opposed to simply relying on offense. It allows her to heal people with the gravest of injuries, even those caused by a Dragon if honed properly. Her proficiency in healing allows her to use even just a kiss to heal other people and she can counteract other quirks that cause status ailments. Her Quirk also has support abilities, which can increase attack power and speed, to both herself and her others. As stated by Charolette, Elaina can eat air, but can't heal as well in polluted areas. Her Quirk also allows her to sense air currents, which can be used to predict the weather.

As a Dragon, Elaina suffers from motion sickness when riding on any form of transportation. Her condition started after the Super Move Training, on their way to the Provisional Hero License Exam. Due to practically being unable to move and think properly in this state, Elaina can't use healing abilities like Troia on herself to counter it.

Excessive use of her Sky Dragon Quirk has the added drawback of turning the user into an actual Dragon which is caused by the Dragon Seed beginning to sprout. The whole process is also known as **Dragonization** (竜化 *Ryuuka*). However even in this situation a Dragon can still temporarily "dragonize": becoming half-dragon, causing them to possibly go on a rampage attacking and foe.

**Purgatory/Hell Scythe** (地獄のサイス *Jigoku no saisu*) Zack's quirk passed onto Elaina by having his scythe drink Elaina's blood, the reason being dragon quirks can gain more powers by eating different elements, although very painful drawback.

This Quirk allows Elaina to wield Zack's main Hell Scythe, currently inhabited by him, and use some of its abilites. Such as manifesting Zack into a large smoky creature that will attack whoever she chooses and detecting anything that comes within the radius of the scythe. It can also transform into a minature form, a black pen-length rod that is more convenient to carry, for Elaina. Zack may enter Elaina's mind as a ghost that only she should be able to see and her dreams.

It is shown that Zack can manifest on his own will to scythe form if he wants to as he did in Elaina's hand or appear as a ghostly apparition, that everyone can see, with mass-like demonic aura.

### Super Moves

**Dragon Force** (ドラゴンフォース *Doragon Fōsu*): By consuming air with high concentration of Ethernano, Elaina has been shown to be able to enter Dragon Force. This ability is said to be the final and most powerful state a Dragon Slayer can attain, and it has been said that their power becomes comparable to that of a real Dragon's. Elaina's eyes turn fully purple along with her hair. The Dragon Slayer also has white scales that spring out of her back, and smaller ones on her hands and feet, along with sprouting horns. After more training, Eizabeth was shown to be able to enter Dragon Force at will.

**Dragon Slayer's Secret Art** (滅竜奥義 *Metsuryū Ōgi*)

* **Shattering Light: Sky Drill** (照破・天空穿 *Shōha Tenkūsen*): A special spell where Elaina forms a fast wind barrier with her arms spread out, and by moving them in a counter-clockwise direction, causes the barrier to contract inwards towards her opponent.

**Sky Dragon's Roar** (天龍の咆哮 *Tenryū no Hōkō*): A version of Dragon's Roar. When using this attack, Elaina breathes a hurricane-like blast at her target. It has been shown to be powerful enough to destroy one of Nirvana's Lacrima crystals, and then match Inasa Yoarashi's quirk.

* **Sky Dragon's Roar + Cure**: A variation of Sky Dragon's Roar with the additional power of Elaina's healing Magic. This spell is unique in its coincidental offensive and healing properties, such that Elaina was able to cure Toga's memory block, which released the Magic bestowed upon her and rendered her unable to battle.
