Elite 7

**The Elite 7** are a group of eight reindeer that are referenced, mentioned, or seen in various official material. The order of their names as presented in the 1823 poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" (or *’Twas the Night Before Christmas*) is: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen. The order that they were picked, or added to The Elite, was: Blitzen, Donner, Prancer, Comet, Dasher, Dancer, and Vixen. Cupid has not been picked yet.

"Each year, precisely in the middle of winter, there is one week in which the Elite 7 go missing [...] in a mysterious secret mission to save the world that nobody knows about!"

### Dasher

Dasher has brown fur with a dark brown back, and also a dark brown stripe on the bridge of his nose. His floof is cream-colored, and he has green antlers and dark sock-like markings on his lower legs. His eyes are brown and his Winter Sprite wears a green coat.

### Vixen

Vixen is overall very pink, including darker pink eyeliner, floof a lighter shade of pink than her fur, a patch of darker pink on her back, darker pink on her tail, a dark pink "socks" pattern on her legs, and pink antlers. She used to have a dark-colored muzzle, but this was later changed. See her article for more details. Vixen's Winter Sprite wears a purple coat and a pink scarf.

### Comet

Comet has light brownish-tan fur with darker tan floof on her chest and the underside of her tail. Her muzzle is also this same color of dark tan. Her antlers are a reddish brown color, and she has red eyeliner and brown eyes. Her Winter Sprite wears a green coat and cap.

Cupid has purplish-grey fur, with darker grey fur on his back. His chest floof points up and outward, and is a lighter color. He has pink eyes and brown antlers. His Winter Sprite wears a purple coat and carries a lyre or harp. Like Vixen, his muzzle also used to be a darker color, but this was later changed.

### Donner

Donner has very dark grey fur, light grey floof, yellow-brown eyes, and sharp sky-blue antlers. His Winter Sprite wears a light blue coat and carries a cloth to polish Donner's antlers.

### Blitzen

Blitzen has so far only been mentioned in The Book of Lore. He has not been officially depicted in any game or supplementary artwork.

## Mentions

Most of these mentions are in Story Mode, unless otherwise specified. Most currently-available factoids about the Elite 7 are attributed to the Elite 7 Fan. In the absence of additional information, all information this character provides is assumed to be accurate.

### Dasher

A reindeer outside the Elite 7 HQ is trying to spy on Dasher and Dancer through the windows. She thinks she sees Dancer, but then think it might be Dasher. Dasher is Dancer's brother, and were "SO young [...] very young" when they were picked.

### Dancer

Dasher's sister. According to the Elite 7 Fan, Dasher and Dancer were picked at the same time because they are twins, when most selections are made one at a time. If their designs have not since been internally changed, Dasher and Dancer are not identical, which would imply they are fraternal twins. A character in story mode has trouble telling the difference between the two of them, however, so it's possible they may be more similar-looking (but still fraternal and not identical, being opposite genders) in a reveal of a possible future redesign. Dasher and Dancer were the fifth and sixth-picked members. After them, the group was known as the "Elite 6".

### Prancer

Prancer was third picked, before Donner (2nd) had his first winter of being in the group. Shortly after Prancer was picked, "the winter sprites built the Elite HQ here. All in one night!".

Arizona rides on a ship called the *RSS Donner/Prancer* to get from Reine City to the Huacaya Mountains in story mode.

### Vixen

Vixen was the seventh one picked, the year prior to the game's story events happening. The Elite 7 Fan seems to think that Vixen is "totally in love with me but she doesn't know it yet." For more details on mentions of Vixen, see her article.

### Comet

Comet was fourth picked (The Elite 4). Artwork that could be outdated would indicate that Comet is female, but in story mode, the Elite 7 Fan refers to Comet as "of course THE best, and as such he can do no wrong, but I've heard rumors that he and VIXEN are an item."

### Cupid

At the time that Arizona's chapter of Story Mode takes place, Cupid is not a part of the Elite 7. The Elite 7 Fan thinks that he will get picked next, though.

### Donner

Donner was the second one picked, after Blitzen. Donner is older than Blitzen. Before Donner was able to have his first winter with the group, Prancer was picked third.

The fifth interaction Arizona makes with the two chatting reindeer at the table in Hoofin' Floof Inn has the left reindeer allege that he "saved the Elite 7 with just [his] wits and a wooden spoon." The reindeer on the right replies "Guess that explains why Donner likes orange so much..."

Donner and Prancer have a ship named after them, the *RSS Donner/Prancer*.

### Blitzen

Blitzen was the "first of the Elite", according to the Elite 7 Fan. This fan also believes Blitzen to be the "handsomest of them all". He was also the only member of the group for about two years before Donner was picked a year later.

A reindeer on the left-side wall outside the Elite 7 HQ thinks of Blitzen as "SOOOO dreamy!"

### Rupert or Ronald or what's-his-name with the big red honker

"Some other people (who are also crazy) even think that" this individual will be picked in the future.
