## History

### First Appearance

She appears serving tea to Chongire and Numeri, with the latter commenting on how cute she is. She then sits in Numeri's lap when Butler enters asking whether they will gather more Motivation Power. Elda is annoyed about how adults have it tough and how the Pretty Cure were considered "legendary", but Numeri tells her not to worry.

### Meeting the Cures

Butler tells Elda to stop playing with her dolls and steal the package Kururun was sending, but Elda complains about being treated like an adult and having responsibilities. He promises to reward her, and she finally accepts. She then appears before Laura and Minori and tells them to hand the package over. After Laura refuses and tells her to leave, she angrily summons a Yaraneeda from a seashell. The Cures transform to fight it as she asks Laura for the package again. She again says no, and Elda then throws a tantrum. Laura opens the package, believing it to be a power-up item, but it turns out to be a giant shell full of sweets. Elda mocks her while the Cures tie up the Yaraneeda. Papaya explains the importance of the sweets and they shouldn't be taken. She then uses Panpaka Papaya Shot to purify the Yaraneeda, and Elda leaves in a huff.

### Preventing Laura's Escape

She is playing with her toys when she notices Kururun. When she takes Kururun back to the prison cell, she doesn't see Laura anywhere. However, it turns out Laura was just hiding, as she attacks Elda, and locks her in the cell.

### Posing as a Doll and Tricking Manatsu

She suffers another defeat from the Cures, and leaves angrily. She complains about being annoyed by Manatsu's motivation until her boat begins to exhaust fumes and malfunctions, causing her to crash land into an abandoned mansion behind Aozora Middle School. She ends up staying in the mansion for quite some time and has her voice being mistaken as from a doll, and decides to toy with Manatsu who really mistakes her as the doll. However as days pass and that one day she lies to Manatsu, she realizes that Manatsu is crying for her. She doesn't realize Manatsu is Cure Summer the whole time until Manatsu runs to transform and help the other Cures. Despite being moved by Manatsu's determination and kindness that is indirectly for her, she denies this feeling as she leaves with Chongire and Numeri. However, she has taken the doll from the mansion before her departure.

### Stealing The Cup

She is ordered by Butler to steal the large cup filled with Motivation Power from inside a cave on Minamino Island. She finds it and hands it back to Butler, who gives it to the Witch of Delays to fill the fool's casket.

### Running Away and Return

She runs away from the mansion after being scolded by Butler. She later steals some snacks in the supermarket, until she nearly gets found by a security guard. She begins to feel lonely, but still denies the feeling by rejecting Kururun who tries to cheer her up by offering a seashell cookie. Chongire later gives her an orb, which she uses to summon a Chou Zettai Yaraneeda. When she confronts Summer, she tells Summer that she finds growing up to be foolish and just wants to relish in the joy of being a child, but Summer disagrees as she believes that being an adult has its own way of having fun. With her Yaraneeda being purified, Elda knows Butler is bound to evict her from the mansion, until Numeri decides to help her by offering her emergency bottle of Motivation Power, convincing Elda to finally return to the mansion as she wails while Numeri hugs her.

### Confronting Manatsu and Witnessing Chongire Turning Into Yaraneeda

She is playing with her toys in her room when Manatsu barges in. Elda tries to report Manatsu when being asked if she has seen a Cure, but Manatsu ends up leaving in front of her before she hears a loud rumble, much to her confusion. She and Numeri, after learning what the Fool's casket looks like, are then horrified by the fact that Butler cruelly turns Chongire into a Yaraneeda in front of them.

### Saving Manatsu and Aiding the Cures

She helps the Cures by sending them to the unlocked dungeon. She and Numeri are later relieved that Chongire is purified and back to normal, but their Motivation Power soon gets drained by Butler Yaraneeda. Despite having their motivation drained earlier, Elda manages to regain her footing, and scolds Butler for betraying them. She also tosses the Tropical Pact back to Manatsu. She then decides to help the Cures, but she's no match against Butler. After Butler is purified, she barely escapes the collapsing trench. Before she leaves with the others, she bids the girls farewell.

### Epilogue

After meeting Laura who visited them earlier and told them to possibly remind her once her memories got erased, she hopes for the best for Laura while playing her doll inside the now more damaged mansion. She is last seen looking after a weakened Butler who is now living in a pot.
