Thanks to what you did to Reno, we're short on people.|Elena}} '''Elena''' is a female member of the [[Turks]] in the ''[[Compilation of Final Fantasy VII]]''. A new member to the organization, she is still inexperienced but takes her job seriously compared to [[Reno]] and [[Rude]]. She has a crush on [[Tseng]]. Originally appearing in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', Elena has also made appearances in ''[[Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-]]'' and ''[[Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children]]''. ==Profile== ===Appearance=== Elena is a young woman with a small stature, brown eyes, and neck-length blond hair that is longer on one side. In most of her appearances, she wears the standard Turks' uniform of a dark blue or black suit over a white shirt and black tie. During her school years in ''Before Crisis'', Elena's long hair is tied into pigtails and she wears a red school uniform and a black miniskirt. ===Personality=== Elena has a clumsy and chatty personality, but is loyal and serious about her job. As the new recruit, her talkativeness often gets her into trouble, such as when she accidentally gives away their orders to [[AVALANCHE]], or gets herself kidnapped while on vacation. Despite this, Elena shows an understanding attitude toward others and is determined to succeed and surpass her sister. She attained the highest grades in school and specializes in both firearms and martial arts. ==Story== {{spoiler}} ===''[[Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-]]''=== [[File:BCElenaPractising.jpg|right|thumb|Elena practicing Martial Arts in her room.]] Elena was a high school student whose father was a teacher in the [[Shinra Electric Power Company|Shinra]] Military Academy. Furthermore, her [[Gun (Female)|older sister]] was a member of the Turks. She resented her sister for outperforming her, and vowed she would never join the Turks as long as her sister was a member. Elena worked as a bartender in [[Wall Market]] during her high school years, and trained at the Military Academy. At first, she followed in her sister's footsteps and trained with firearms; however, she eventually dropped the weapon classes to remove herself from her sister, and began practicing martial arts instead. She achieved five "Elite Emblems" at the Shinra Military Academy, emblems only given to students who hold the highest scores for their exams, obtaining the most Elite Emblems in the school and solidifying her status as a prodigy. Despite her clumsy nature, she is highly skilled with both weapons and martial arts. When Elena observes three [[Ravens]] dispose of [[SOLDIER]] members and steal their uniforms, she considers telling the Turks, but instead takes on the responsibility herself, following them until she loses track. She is later kidnapped for being a witness and is held hostage on a train. Elena drops one of her Elite Emblems on the train, alerting the infiltrating Player Turk that she is on board. Elena tasks herself with attacking a Raven as the player arrives, but the Player Turk trades the Support [[Materia (Final Fantasy VII)|Materia]] for Elena. After being saved, Elena vows to become a Turk and surpass her sister. Afterward, the Player Turk uses Elena's private training area as a hideout from AVALANCHE for a short time. ===''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''=== [[File:Elena-ffvii-field.png|right|75px|Field model of Elena.]] Elena is the newest recruit, being appointed to the Turks after Reno sustained injuries battling AVALANCHE in [[Midgar]]. She introduces herself to the party in the [[Mythril Mine (Final Fantasy VII)|Mythril Mine]], where she slips and accidentally reveals their orders. She and Tseng—the leader of the Turks—explore the [[Temple of the Ancients]] before Tseng is attacked by [[Sephiroth]] when Elena leaves. She later blames the attack on [[Cloud Strife|Cloud]], a member of AVALANCHE whom they are also pursuing. Elena and [[Yuffie Kisaragi|Yuffie]] are kidnapped by [[Don Corneo]] in [[Wutai]] while the Turks are there on vacation. Reno and Rude cooperate with AVALANCHE save them. Elena, Reno and Rude confront the party for a final battle in the Midgar subway, but it is possible to talk them out of fighting, if the party worked with them in Wutai. Disillusioned with Shinra, the Turks disperse. Although not shown in ''Final Fantasy VII'', it is revealed that during [[Meteor (Final Fantasy VII)|Meteorfall]], Elena helped evacuate Sector 3 of Midgar while Reno cleared Sector 4 and Rude cleared Sector 2. Moving to clear Sector 5 together with Tseng, the four were met and assisted by the previous Turks from ''Before Crisis'' and former leader [[Veld]]. ===''[[Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children]]''=== [[File:VII Elena.jpg|120px|left|thumb|Elena in ''Advent Children Complete''.]] Elena is recovering from being tortured by [[Kadaj]], [[Loz]], and [[Yazoo]] after she and Tseng retrieved [[Jenova]]'s head from the [[Northern Cave (Final Fantasy VII)|Northern Cave]]. Elena and Tseng save [[Rufus Shinra]] from falling to his death after he launches himself off a building edge to destroy Jenova's head. When Rufus's [[Geostigma]] is cured, Elena is by his side with the other Turks. In ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete'', Elena has a slightly larger role in assisting Tseng with saving Rufus from falling off the abandoned building, and assisting the other Turks with Cloud fighting Yazoo and Loz on the [[Midgar Highway|highway]]. Elena tosses a ladder down to Reno and Rude during the chase after Yazoo destroys their helicopter and has them board the one she is on with Tseng. Elena has a small band-aid on her right cheek and her left hand wrapped up from the injuries sustained from the hands of Kadaj and his gang. {{-}} {{Endspoiler}} ==Gameplay== {{main|Turks:Elena}} As a member of the Turks, Elena fights along with her partners, [[Turks:Reno]] and [[Turks:Rude]]. Although Reno and Rude are fought at least once in mandatory battles, the battle at Sector 8 of Midgar can be optional if the player has completed the [[Wutai#Quests|Wutai sidequest]]. This will give Elena a sense of attachment to the party, which will let the player opt out of the battle, and thus the player does not ever have to fight her. ==Voice== Elena is voiced by [[Megumi Toyoguchi]] in Japanese. She shares her Japanese voice actress with her [[Gun (Female)|older sister]] in ''[[Last Order -Final Fantasy VII-]]'', [[Paine]] from ''[[Final Fantasy X-2]]'', [[Qun'mi Tru'e]] from ''[[Final Fantasy Type-0]]'', and {{KHWiki|Aqua}} from the ''{{KHWiki|Kingdom Hearts (series)|Kingdom Hearts}}'' series. She was voiced by [[Bettina Bush]] in the English version. ==Other appearances== ===''[[Pictlogica Final Fantasy]]''=== <gallery> PFF Elena Illust.png|Portrait.
