Elie (Rave Master)

Elie (エリー, Erī) is a mysterious girl with amnesia, who uses tonfa-blasters as her main weapon of choice. After being saved by Haru in Georco, she travels with him in order to regain her memory. A lively, bubbly girl, she has a hot temper and an undying love for casinos, often procuring funds for the group through this method. It is later revealed that Elie harnesses the power of Etherion, an extremely destructive magic that transcends space and time. Etherion was also used by Resha Valentine (リーシャ・バレンタイン, Rīsha Barentain), an acclaimed dancer from 50 years prior who gave her life in order to create the Rave stones, and whom Elie is identical to. After traveling to the past, Elie discovers that she is in fact Resha Valentine, and had actually faked her death by encasing herself in magic to later awaken in the future. Following this revelation, Elie recovers Resha’s old staff and equips it in battle, which grants her the ability to summon and destroy Endless. Over the course of the story, Elie starts to develop romantic feelings for Haru, just as Haru does for her; this led to them getting married and the birth of their son at the end of the series. In the anime, she is voiced by Ayako Kawasumi in Japanese and Michelle Ruff in English.[2] Elie was ranked as #20 in a survey conducted by Newtype Japan for Favorite Anime Heroine in 2002.[3]
