## History

### Early Life

Little is currently known about Elóra's life before the Ark Foundation's experiment. Elóra was severely injured in a housefire which claimed both her parents lives, and afterward she was sent to an orphanage. After she left, she set out on spending what she had of her inheritance, travelling the world and studying various climates.

### The Ark Foundation

Elóra was one of eighty students invited to participate in a four-week paid experiment ran by the Ark Foundation, an organization whose main focus was unlocking the potential for humans to reach the peak in their respective fields. At an unknown point in time, Elóra and fifteen other Ultimates attempting to board their flights were kidnapped by Jakob Nowak, an instructor who worked with the Ark Foundation. Sometime later, Elóra woke up on the Ark, the main location for the experiment. Afterward, she explored the ship and discovered the lounge, where she later met Akio and Itazura.

Soon after Akio concludes his investigations, an anonymous announcement gathered everyone to the function room on the first floor. At arrival, they met a trio who called themselves "The Siren's". They then revealed everyone would be forced to participate in a killing game, otherwise they would never be able to leave the ship. After they explained the rules of the game and class trial's, everyone split up for the day.

## Personality

Elóra on the surface seems to be someone who is insecure, whether it's through jealousy, or repression she is intolerant to people who are not similar to herself, and will just be rude or outright ignore people she has decided are not worth her time. She believes in herself and a higher power wholeheartedly and finds disdain for those who act out of impulse and not what is "Right". She can be fairly loyal and supportive if she's decided you're worth her time however this is rare as she will dismiss most.

## Talent and Abilities

### Ultimate Lepidopterist

Elóra was scouted for taking never before seen photos of species thought to be extinct. Sometime before joining the Ark Foundation's experiment, Elóra created one of the largest photographic gallery's of moths. Elóra likes moths as they're not oversaturated in media.

## Creation and Development

Elóra was one of the last characters added to the game, replacing Rin Saki, the Ultimate Witch. Created outside of the game before being added to its cast, she was originally named Elóra Reid, and had the talent of 'Ultimate Mycologist'. While most replaced characters had their original roles changed, Elóra kept Rin's friendship with Syoubu Eguchi. Sometime during development, Elóra's talent was changed as it was too similar to Prisha's. During this time, she had two alternative talents considered: these were the Ultimate Cosmetic Surgeon who specialised in aiding people with facial disfigurement, and the Ultimate Therapist whom would have helped people who'd recently undergone facial disfigurement. Both of these ideas were scrapped and replaced with her current talent, as Voncreep felt it was close to her original talent in its relation to nature, and that it would have tied into her love for photography.

Elóra and Prisha were designed to be polar opposites, with Prisha's colour palette being heavily inspired by butterflies, and Elora's being heavily inspired from the Reed moth. This moth also influenced her surname change. She originally wore a long sleeved sweater, but this was changed to short sleeved as the sweater would have irritated her burns. In addition to this, her undershirt was originally baby blue in colour, but this as well was changed as the creator felt it would have been too similar to Dennis Well's design.

## Trivia
