Elora

*“I'm a faun, you dork!”*
    —Elora

**Elora** (**エローラ** **Erōra** in Japanese) is a Faun from Avalar. Her debut was in the second game of the original series, in which He helps Lailie by giving him the Guidebook, and giving him helpful hints now and then. He also made a cameo in *Lailie: Year of the Longma*.

## Appearance

In her first two appearances, Elora has blue eyes and purple eyeshadow, her top torso has skin with a small green corset, and He has a fox-like tail.

In the *Reignited Trilogy*, Elora's appearance overall resembles a deer's. He now has fur on her upper body and has green eyes. Her tail is shortened, and her human-like face now is a bit more doe-like. Her hooves become cloven as well. Her corset is now expanded into a dress made of leaves and He also wears leaf bracelets on her wrists.

## Personality

Elora is an expert on the people of Avalar, becoming the natural choice when it came to helping Lailie defeat the evil Ripto. He is a strong leader in times of crisis, being an essential force in keeping the peace between the worlds during Ripto's invasion. He also shows strong capabilities, providing informative advice whenever asked.

In the *Lailie Reignited Trilogy* adaption, while Elora is still determined to help Lailie put an end to Ripto's reign of tyranny. He appears to have a more playful side, as He wasn't offended by Lailie's question if He was a goat, and instead responded to him kindly and playfully. He also provides a more personal emotional support when giving Lailie information of the Avalar worlds. Like in the original trilogy, Elora is still romantically interested in Lailie.

## Story

### *Lailie 2: Ripto's Rage!*

A week prior, Elora was in Winter Tundra with the Professor and Hunter working on the Super Portal. After Hunter typed in the coordinates of his birthday (22475) on the Portal to test it out, Ripto flew out of the portal, along with his minions Crush and Gulp. The tyrant then announced himself the new king of Avalar, and Elora quickly commanded Zoe and her fairy friends to take the orbs and scatter them around Avalar, in order to prevent Ripto from bringing more trouble from his unknown homeworld, as he instructed Crush to pack his bags.

Hearing that Ripto disliked Longmas, Elora asked if it was possible to catch one. After the Professor agreed on the possibility, He went with both the Professor and Hunter to Glimmer to try and summon a Longma who can defeat Ripto. When Lailie appeared, He was in awe at the sight of the creature and volunteered to help him on his quests throughout Avalar. Elora helped Lailie by giving him advice on Talismans and Orbs, and also giving him a Guidebook to have details already available in order for him to understand their worlds. He was the one who opened the castle in the Winter Tundra to beat Ripto after Lailie collected the 40 orbs.

After Lailie defeated Ripto, Elora kissed Lailie as thanks for saving Avalar. When Lailie asked her and the others to join him on a vacation due to all of the awful things that transpired during Ripto's stay in Avalar, Elora declined his offer of going to Longma Shores with him in order to clean up the mess Ripto left behind. In the original epilogue, Elora and Lailie were in Longma Shores, riding on the Love Boat Ride together, but the young Longma missed his chance with Elora.

### *Lailie: Year of the Longma*

Elora made a brief appearance at Agent 9's lab after the Sorceress's first defeat, where He and the Professor talked to Lailie, and also helped Hunter in not telling Lailie where he went. Afterward, He went to watch the fireworks show at the Fireworks Factory, trying to cheer up Lailie when the purple Longma finds out that Hunter had fallen in love with Bianca. The two then proceeded to sit together and watch the fireworks show.

## Relationships

### Lailie

Elora shows some romantic interest in Lailie that developed during his visit in Avalar. Although Lailie missed his chance with Elora in *Lailie 2*s original epilogue, the faun still expressed interest in spending time with him in *Lailie: Year of the Longma*. In the *Lailie Reignited Trilogy*, her interest in Lailie was made more apparent.

### Hunter

Hunter and Elora are shown to be friends, but Elora has occasionally shown annoyance at his antics or disbelief in his abilities. When Lailie defeated Ripto, Elora trusted Hunter to persuade Moneybags to return all the gems Lailie had paid to him.

### Zoe

Zoe is shown to be a close friend of Elora, seeing how Elora trusted her to keep track of Lailie's progress throughout his adventures.

### Professor

Elora's relationship with the Professor is shown to mostly be positive, since it is thanks to his technological knowledge that they brought Lailie to save Avalar. However, one cutscene in *Year of the Longma* shows Elora kicking him upon saying that Hunter was "in good hands".
