Well this was a fun one. Elie is with the SSS from the very beginning, just like Tio. And in a very similar way to Alisa, she gets the most overall scenes with Lloyd, indicating that if there was a canon choice in the games, it’d probably be her. In any case, astute english players could probably surmise that she’s related to Chairman MacDowell of the Crossbell Government. And you’d be right, she’s his granddaughter. And as his granddaughter she is well versed in Law and Politics, and that knowledge comes in handy for the SSS multiple times. She joined the police because she was looking for a different path than her parents or her grandparents, the world of politics tore her family apart, and she wanted to see if there was another way to fix the wrongs that plague Crossbell. I’d say Elie’s story is mostly deeply tied into the corruption and wrongdoings going around in crossbell. Regardless of the situation, she’s always well prepared to lend a hand and be the voice of reason when Lloyd proposes something insanely risky, or Randy does something stupid. She’s a nice balancing force to the cast of characters in the SSS, and a vital part of the team.

Combat wise, Elie is about even with Tio as a caster, specializing in Wind Quartz rather than Water Quartz. Her cast time ends up being a bit faster because of this, but Tio generally beats her in raw power. She has a few useful utility crafts, which is nice because Delay is not the beast that it is in Cold Steel, so being able to impede arts, heal allies, and have allies jump the turn order are vital skills. She also uses a gun, letting her cast and attack enemies from a safe distance. She won’t hit as hard as Lloyd or Randy, but her damage isn’t negligible either.

As for her appearance, she’s definitely way up there when it comes to beauty. She has beautiful long flowing pearl grey hair, and cute grey eyes as well. Her standard outfit is a pink and white longcoat over black leggings. I may have mentioned this before, but I am a sucker for leggings on girls, they just make them look so good. She also has a fancy party dress in Zero, and a swimsuit in Ao, that both show off her prime assets, because it’s hard to get a picture of just how stacked she is until she shows a little bit of cleavage because… GOD DAYUM, she is stacked. With all things considered, it was a very difficult choice for the top spot, but in the end, I think Elie won my heart over the most. She’s kind, intelligent, multi talented, and not to mention incredibly beautiful. The Trails series has many incredible women, but Elie takes the cake.
