Elena is a newer member of the Shinra Electric Power Company's special task force, the Turks, led by Tseng. She joined after Reno was injured during the Sector 7 plate drop. Elena is exceptionally dedicated to her job, but has a tendency to spill confidential information about their assignments. She disapproves of her colleagues Reno and Rude's casual work ethic, and is happy to work with her admired superior, Tseng. She is also the younger sister of another Turk named Emma.
