Elena Arshavina or Leshya is a former Savior from the Russian Branch, working as the bodyguard for the S Rank, Vasilisa Yuryevna Mostovaya. She was sent to "test" Moroha Haimura to see if he was worth the promotion into Rank S, transferring to Akane Academy to get close to him. Elena begun viewing him as an important person and realizing her younger brother's existence was fake, she has become an comrade, friend, and family. She soon married Moroha and is pregnant with his child, becoming known as one of the Six Hands (
Appearance[]
Elena is a beautiful fifteen-year-old girl of average height with shoulder-length dark silver hair that is closer to being a lot like steel with bangs covering the right side of her face, dark gray eyes and she is most noted to have a slim beautiful figure with a round large bust that she is able to rival Shizuno and Sophia.
In her initial arrival to Akane Academy, she wore a black-colored crystal around her neck before Moroha Haimura broke it.
Elena was dressed in a black Russian combat uniform, which has a number of straps on it and a series of knives on her holster.
Personality[]
As a Russian Savior trained to be an assassin, Elena was viewed as both cold-hearted, calculative, and emotionless even as a child, murdering and assassinating people for their Branch Head without question. This, however, isn't the real her, instead doing all these heinous things for her "little brother", the closest person in Elena's life, making her subservient to Vasilisa and Condrat rather than loyal, both of whom has used Elena's emotions and abilities for their benefits. As such, Elena has subjected herself to harsh training and experiences as a martial artist rather than a Savior, viewing others as too reliant on their powers, being almost useless without them. It has been pointed out that her experiences in life led her to almost wanting a much more peaceful life, however, she viewed those experience as a source of strength compared to those who lived a much more peaceful life and experiences. Despite threatning to do things such as leaving a scar on Shizuno, Elena isn't a sadist that relishes in causing pain to others, rather using it as a threat.
Elena can be blunt and awkward when it comes to things that doesn't involve fighting, being almost inept at socializing with people the same age as herself. It often causes her to be easily influenced and gullible, often reading from "5ch", a forum, where people on the site would often give out a bunch of random advice, either helpful or harmful depending on the situation. She, however, views the forum site as something helpful despite the concerns from Moroha and the others warning Elena about such sites. In the event that Elena makes a mistake about anything, this often causes her to become depressed, to the point of uttering that she "wanted to die", dropping her shoulders and even curling up somewhere. Having gotten to know Moroha, Elena begun viewing him as a close friend rather than a target, something that caused her to become hesistant in the assassination mission assigned to her.
Having freed herself from Vasilisa and Kondrat, Elena begun opening herself more to the people around her, being much more close to Moroha, who she viewed as her family. As such, she would often compete with Satsuki for his affection, something that causes some dissonance between them, with Shizuno often being the one watching them. Elena holds a great amount of respect for Moroha too, viewing him as someone different from Saviors, who fights reliants on their superhuman powers instead of martial arts, often joining in on training sessions. As such, she is someone who would do whatever it takes to protect Moroha, even if it meant going against the entire Japanese Branch, even fighting against the S Rank, Lu Zhixin after being blamed for controlling the Metaphysicals.
History[]
Leshya successfully stabs Edward.
Little is known about her past aside the fact that she was an abandoned child adopted by an unknown person.[1] At some point, Leshya would later join the military savior school in Russia after discovering her abilities as a White Iron. She would later become acquainted with Vasilisa and was implanted with the memories of her "younger brother" who she was separated from causing her to become an assassin for the female S-Rank Savior earning the reputation as the Man-Eater, the Savior Killer.
At some point, Leshya was tasked to "test" (if not to eliminate) Sir Edward Lampard who had become an S-Rank Savior and was able to stab him under the guise of being his fan. Using her Origin, Magic Sword: Leprazan, Leshya was able to injure him bypassing his nigh-invincible prana forcing him to use his own Origin, Snow Capped: Augustine to end their dual as a draw.
Chronology[]
Powers and Abilities[]
Overview[]
- Further information: White Iron
Overall, Elena has shown to be a skilled Shirogane, enough to be ranked as a C Rank from childhood, but isn't a general match against others such as Moroha. However, what makes her a threat as the Man Eater, Savior Slayer, and the Trump Card of Russia is her Magic Sword: Leprazan, an Origin that consumes prana and mana, making her a threat to Saviors, who'd relied on them, even Sir Edward Lampard, an S Rank Savior known for being untouchable, who needed Snow Capped: Augustine. However, this includes hers, making it difficult to master and impossible use Light Art, while Leprazan is active, thus leaving Elena to master martial arts instead and could wound Lu Zhixin, an S Rank Shirogane and master martial artist, but still lose. Since then, she begun training in martial arts and Light Arts alongside Moroha and Haruka. After awakening the "True" Leprazan, fighting against Metaphysicals, such as Andou's Black Knights, Elena's combat prowess is noted as being comparable to that of an S Rank Savior.
Magic Sword Leprazan[]
- Further information: Leprazan
Elena's Origin, "Magic Sword: Leprazan", a demonic sword which consumes prana and mana from around it without discretion, including her prana, making it impossible to use Light Art if the demon sword is turned "On". Although Leprazan makes her a dangerous foe against other Saviors, it is incapable of abosrbing the Metaphysical's satana, which makes it difficult to fight against them with or without prana. Having suffered her first defeat against Lu Zhixin, Elena trained to switch her demonic sword "Off" and "On" in rapid succession, making it difficult for even an S Rank Shirogane to react in time.[2] After fighting Jin Isurugi, who could manifest satana and prana, Elena soon awakened the "True" Magic Sword, which wasn't manifested in her past life, making it possible to consume a Metaphysical's satana, as long as she poured prana into it; thus turning Leprazan into a Soul Eater that absorbs prana, mana, and satana in a 5 meter radius, which could still stronger ones as long as it pierced its core.
Swordsmanship[]
Due to the nature of her Magic Sword: Leprazan, Elena has decided to train her martial arts and swordsmanship, as even her prana would end up being absorbed because of her demonic sword. She could hold her own against the likes of Moroha using her sword skills when the demon sword is activated, however, Moroha matched could supress hers as he continued focusing on natural martial arts too. Since losing against Lu Zhixin, who she managed to wound, Elena often trained with Moroha to hone her martial arts much more than before, capable of facing even the Black Knight-class Metaphysicals.
