Her Arcana is **Koshmar**, the Arcana of Punishment.

## Bio

*After losing her entire family to a celestial event triggered by demons, Elsa immediately joined the European branch of the Celestial Union.

In a desperate attempt to stay alive after her battle with the demon Clarice, she entered into a contract with Koshmar, the Arcana of Punishment. As a result of the agreement, Elsa was burdened not only with immortality, but with “Sin and Punishment” as well.*

## Appearance

Elsa is a fair skinned woman with light brown eyes and short light brown hair that covers her left eye, dressed in a blue Rosenberg nun outfit.

## Personality

Elsa is considered a very serious individual. She is also prone to radical mood swings. She can come across as somewhat indifferent to strangers, but she is known to be very caring towards her friends. However, she has a one-track mind and will frequently lose track of anything not related to her current tasks.

- *I got the gist of it from Petra. We're all working toward the same goal. There's no reason for you to shoulder that burden alone.* (*Kamui Tokinomiya with Celestial Stone*)

- *Maori is a good friend. We have both dedicated our lives to the fight against the devil. She is very important to me, and one of the very few friends I have. So-- This is strange... What is this feeling... I'm going to fight you, but my head...it hurts... This isn't right...* (Maori Defeated)

- *I want this to be a fair fight. Tell me when you're ready. Your organization, your position, your title... They don't matter. I am Elsa la Conti. As a friend of Petra Johanna Lagerkvist... I will fight you.* (Petra Defeated)

- *Phew... You know. Clarice told me that if I didn't avenge her, she's be so sad that she'd die... Ugh... How ridiculous. Whatever. I suppose a little revenge isn't so bad once in a while. I'm sorry, but now it's time for us to fight.* (Clarice Defeated)

- *There must be other things you could have done for the people that are dear to you. I'm not good with words...*

- *You fought for your friend with not a thought to what might happen to you. I think that's wonderful.*
