Elena-Maria

**Elena-Maria** (エレナマリア *Erenamaria*) is a playable character in Gate of Nightmares. She is one of Estrea's Seven Star Knights and therefore one of the strongest Nightwalkers in the kingdom. She is an antisocial Dragon Slayer who was raised as a weapon.

## Appearance

Elena-Maria is an adult woman with short blue-grayish hair in a bob cut. Her eyes are bright red.

She wears a black and gold armor that exposes much of her skin, including her stomach and her back. The shoulder pieces are made to look like dragons, and sharp claws are attached to her gauntlets and boots. Elena-Maria herself also wears golden horns on her head.

Her Star Magic Gem is round and attached to the piece of armor around her collar.

## Personality

Elena-Maria is an antisocial and distant person. She frequently ignores other who try to talk to her and comes off as quite intimidating.

However, she takes her job as a knight very serious and protects the people of Estrea as best as she can, even throwing herself in harm's way if she has to.

Elena-Maria was raised as a disposable weapon by her parents and always had to suppress her emotions. She was only meant to fight and protect, with no regards to her own life. This is why she has the deeply ingrained mindset of "fight until you win or die". She even continues to fight with dangerous wounds, as she sees her own life as disposible and only meant for protecting others.

After being saved by Abigail and Esteo, she was able to move on from her past. She learned that all life is precious, even her own. This caused her to open up a little bit, although she is still a lone wolf.

## Synopsis

### History

Elena-Maria was born in a different country. Her family is famous for their lineage of strong Dragon Slayers. Even as a child, Elena-Maria was trained to be one of those Dragon Slayers. Her parents raised her as a weapon. They made Elena-Maria suppress all of her emotions and indoctrinated her with the mindset that she has to fight to protect others, with no regards to her own life. Even if she is hurt or wounded, she must not stop fighting, no matter if she dies in the process since she is just a disposable weapon.

The young Elena-Maria didn't speak up and did as she was told. It became clear that she was a genius and one of the strongest Dragon Slayers the family had ever seen. She was the youngest person ever to formally receive the title of 'Dragon Slayer', and her parents considered her to be a masterpiece of a weapon.

Her father sent the young girl to Estrea, where she had to join the military and make her family's name known in the entire country. Elena-Maria did as she was told and quickly rose up in the ranks, eventually becoming one of the Seven Star Knights. During her time as a knight, Elena-Maria was continuously plagued by the voice of her younger self, reaffirming her parents' words.

One day, Elena-Maria was attacked and badly wounded by a Nightmare. However, she was rescued by Esteo and Abigail who confronted her about her past and her views on the world. After a talk, Elena-Maria was able to move on from her past. She learned that all life is precious, even her own.
