Hailing from a small African tribe of which her father is the chief, Elena grew up in the arms of the vast, harsh and yet nurturing savanna under the wise guidance of her parents. The tribe keeps with the times and since she exceled at the healing arts of the tribe, Elena went on to study medicine at a local University. Using her natural spring to advantage, she practices the fighting style capoeira, but uses only the kicks.This is especially good for women of smaller stature who lack the upper body strength of males, but have long powerful legs capable of beating some men with one well placed kick, despite the man's advantages. Elena fights in a white bikini. Due to her stunning good looks her attire often distracts fighters of the opposite sex (unintentionally of coarse), but Elena always manages to snap them out of it with a nasty kick.
NOTE: It is unknown where she learned a brazilian martial art in Africa, but my sources think someone at Capcom is smoking crack.
