— Sailor Olympus's Introduction
**Eleni Neera**
 (エレニ ニーラ, *Ereni Nīra*?) is the main protagonist of Pretty Guardians of Olympus and the Sailor Guardian of storms and justice, **Sailor Olympus**
 (セーラーオリンパス, *Sēra Orinpasu*?). She's the leader of the Sailor Senshi while acting as the only demigod royal of Olympus and the protector of the Olympus Crystal.

## Appearance

### Civilian

Eleni is a fair skinned young woman with short wavy ginger hair in a half up-do accompanied by a hair ribbon in sky blue, lilac, or soft pink. She has wide blue eyes. Eleni has been frequently compared to looking like the spitting image of her mother. However, her wavy hair is from her father.

Eleni frequently wore the Prometheus Academy school uniform which consisted of a very dark blue blazer with yellow accents, white blouse, a blue tartan skirt, white socks, and a blue and yellow striped tie along with shoes of her choice (sky blue converse). However, when she was not in her uniform, she often wore varying different outfits.

### Sailor Guardian

* Sailor Olympus
* Super Sailor Olympus
* Eternal Sailor Olympus
* Princess Eleni
* Queen Eleni
 Sailor Olympus's uniform surprisingly holds a striking resemblance to the Solar system Senshi with the silhouette and features. However, the coloring of the uniform is very much different. The uniform consists of a chest-armored light brown leotard with elbow length gloves, shoulder pads, and a puffy v-shaped skirt belt being the same color. Her collar is a light blue with 2 white stripes on it and a light blue pleated skirt. She adorns a yellow bow at the front base of her collar on her chest and a yellow bow attached to the back of her belt. Her gloves have 3 puffs in the same yellow as her bows. She wears light blue knee high boots that have a short heel and a white trim on the triangular shaped edge of the top of her boots. On the top and front of her boots is two golden lightning bolts. She wears a golden forehead tiara with a orange gem in the center. Sailor Olympus wears golden stud earrings with golden lightning bolts dangling down. To put things together, she wears a yellow choker with a lightning bolt charm. Lastly, she wears her transformation brooch on her chest bow. Her hair bow becomes a soft pink color if it was not already that color before transforming.

 Upon becoming Super Sailor Olympus, she underwent a few uniform changes. Her skirt becomes white with a light gold stripe and light blue stripe at the bottom. Her choker is gold with an orange heart in the center. The stripes on her collar are no longer white, they are instead golden. Her shoulder pads are replaced by ornate golden shoulder armor and her back bow becomes a very light yellow, long, and billowy. Sailor Olympus's hair bow takes on a similar transformation to her back bow. Meanwhile, her earrings are lightning bolts fixed to her earlobes and she now wears a golden belt over her white one and it is accompanied by a pendant in the center of the belts which matches her compact.

 Eternal Sailor Olympus's appearance varies greatly from the prior forms. Her tiara is now consisting of golden beads with an orange gem in the center of it with wings on either side of her head. Her hairpins became gold and her leotard lost the chest-armor, becoming one solid white piece. Her gloves are notably missing and are replaced with golden armor bracelets. She loses her bows, replaced by a winged star brooch in the front and massive wings in the back. Her collar reverted to a similar state to her original but it is instead sky blue with 3 golden stripes. Her shoulder pads are now orange bubbles with one yellow ribbon fitting at the end of each and white ruffles. Her choker and boots take on a V shape; her boots are white with a yellow ribbon border at the top and a golden lightning bolt at the center; and her choker is yellow with a golden star in the center. Her earrings now have dangling stars from them while staying as the fixed lightning bolts. Her singular skirt is now three in the colors of sky blue, light orange, and yellow. Her belts are now a blue belt and orange belt fixed to her waist and in the center of them is a big golden star with two yellow ribbon strands hanging from it.

## Personality

Eleni has always been a very upbeat and positive girl. She often tries to see the best in people and has a hard time noticing ill-intentions directed towards her which makes her very naïve. Eleni attempts to have a positive outlook on life even when everyone else is being negative. She surprisingly is very quick witted, making decisive last minute actions in her favor. Though, her emotions get the better of her which causes her to be insanely impulsive.

Much like Alexandria, Eleni has a short fuse and follows her heart more than her mind more often than not.

## Information

Eleni was born of a long relationship (though it is implied to be an affair) between her mother--Paris Neera--and the king of the gods--Zeus. Growing up, Eleni was severely sheltered by her mother and any questions of who her father was were dismissed. She had little to no friends because of her sheltered life. Every break from school, Eleni and her mother would travel to Mytikas to visit family. On one of these trips, Eleni met and befriended Diane. The two girls would remain in touch despite living in different cities.

Eleni preoccupied herself with comics and video games as a hobby she'd do in her free time. While at school, she had average grades but did have some difficulty in turning work in on time. At the request of her Aunt Nancy and Uncle Johnathan, Eleni was enrolled into Prometheus Academy and moved to Mytikas to live with them for the school year so her mother could travel for work more freely. Eleni never joined any extracurricular activities despite Diane requesting that she did. Eleni despises Zeus for him using her mother and him only seeing her as a tool for entertainment.

## Sailor Olympus

Eleni can transform into Sailor Olympus by calling out her transformation phrase as long as she has her transformation item with her. Similar to Usagi, Eleni can put on disguises through using her Disguise Compact and saying "Disguise me as a...!" with the desired thing she wishes to become. She usually used the ability to investigate into potential threats (or spy on her friends).

Unlike Sailor Moon, a lot of Sailor Olympus's attacks are electrical and air based with only a few being purifying albeit much to her chagrin.

## Abilities & Powers

Outside of being a Sailor Guardian, Eleni has demonstrated supernatural abilities. For starters, she can control electricity, as well as generate her own, and is immune to electric shocks (such as when she got hit by lightning as a child during a storm and she was perfectly fine). However, her control of electricity is very hard to maintain and she often has little to no control when her ability activates. In addition to her electrical prowess, Eleni is capable of slightly manipulating the weather when her emotions are very overwhelming but she cannot summon entire storms or completely change the weather; only move the clouds, have a few lightning strikes, or pick up the wind.

## Nomenclature & Etymology

### Etymology

**Eleni:** Eleni is a Greek name which stems from the name "Helen." Helen means torch, corposant, or the Moon (if spelt similar to Selene). Eleni's name is more in direct reference to the legend of Helen of Troy who was subsequently kidnapped by Paris which resulted in the Trojan War (her mother's name also is reference to that legend).

**Neera:** Neera doesn't have a direct meaning but it was confirmed that it is supposed to come from the Greek Νεέρα (Neera) which relates to water. This is an ironic reference to Eleni's weakness to water.

## Trivia

* This adaptation of Eleni has the least accurate backstory to her manga.
	+ This backstory was actually a concept backstory for Eleni at one point in the manga.
* Unlike in the manga and second anime, Neera is her mother's family name which her uncle took on when he married Nancy.
* According to Eleni, she caused a birthday cake to explode in a cake shop as a child because she was wanting it.
	+ This ties in with the manga story of Eleni destroying her birthday cake as a little girl when blowing out the candles. Though this story was omitted from the anime backstory and replaced with the cake shop story.
