As a child, it is heavily implied that she has a similar temperament to Ezra Squall's childhood self: joyful and happy. They would have often studied and played together.

## Relationships

### Ezra Squall

Elodie and Ezra Squall were the same age and skill level at the School of Wundrous Arts . They had lessons together from seven to seventeen years old (and probably older). They laughed together as a pair in two ghostly hours.

Morrigan was especially shocked about Elodie when she was told that Ezra killed the other Wundersmiths.

## Etymology

The English name **Elodie** (from the French **Élodie**) is thought to come from **Alodia**, a name with Germanic roots meaning "foreign wealth" from the elements *alja* ("other, foreign") and *aud* ("riches, wealth"). It may also mean “property” (from Latin “alodis”), “foreigner”, “wealth” (from Germanic “ali” + “od”) and “flower of the fields” in Greek.

**Bauer** (BOW-u) is an old High German surname from *bur* meaning "peasant" or "farmer."
