 It's fun spending time like this. It's not too much of a problem since having this much fun lifts a lot of weight off my shoulders.

During her time in Mirrors Academy, her side fringes and back hair tied together in long braids that fall in front of her body, tied off with light blue ribbons and a light blue headband placed on top of her head. However, after the merge, she ties her hair in braids at the side of her head, tying them off with two light blue ribbons on both sides that resemble small wings.

After the merge, she wears the standard Shadows High uniform with her shirt tucked in. She wears nude pink thigh-high stockings and white shoes in her uniform.

## Personality

Elda is a charismatic and soft spoken young woman who is generally really easy to get along with. She tends to show a lot of concern for other people over herself and sometimes she forgets to take good care of herself in the process. Elda also has a good hold over what her elder twin sister is feeling as she is very capable of speaking up about how Freya is feeling for her while also expressing her own emotions as well. She is also very diligent as she tends to study or practice her singing when she's not spending time with her friends or family.

Although she is the more outspoken twin, Elda doesn't really open up about herself very often and usually bottles up her emotions very often. She's aware it's a bit unhealthy to do so, but she struggles to truly tell people about her struggles, even to her elder sister and boyfriend.

Sometimes, Elda does appreciate how her elder sister can empathise with her emotions, even if she doesn't like to open up to others about them.
