Editing Elena Snark

"Elias, put down the frying pan before you kill us all."

== Statistics ==

'''Real Name''': Elena Snark

'''Aliases''': [[Wisp]], Construct 17

'''Age''': 22 (kinda)

'''Race''': Modified Human

'''Power Level''': ?

'''Position''': Maid, Conscience

'''Eyes''': Light Blue

'''Hair''': Blonde

== Appearance ==

Because her body is a construct, she has not really aged since the events that made it so. As such, she appears as a teenage girl version of [[Elias Snark|Elias]] in a maid outfit due to being his twin.

== Background ==

Born to Sonia the Dragonslayer and Luthor Snark along with her twin brother Elias on the plane of Everchill, her childhood was comparatively normal considering the only parent present was the mad scientist. Being an immigrant and because of her family situation, she was often bullied. Elias took it on himself to protect her from this, resulting in her assuming the role of caretaker, as Elias was hopeless at actually taking care of himself.

After being poisoned on Empress Niko's orders to get her father to work on Project W.I.S.P., she became a subject of it and was modified into the being known appropriately enough as [[Wisp]]. Elias took her with him when he fled Everchill, hoping to find a way to restore her soul. Without a soul, she was effectively an emotionless automaton. It was not until the mysterious Vicar found and restored her soul (unknown to most of TIME) that she became herself again.

== Personality ==

Elena is the moral backbone of the Snark family. Her responsible streak led to her to take on the role of caretaker for not just her brother but their father as well, trying to fill in for their absent mother. Most often this took the form of things like making sure they didn't eat week old leftovers or wear clothes that hadn't been washed in three months. She is very good at most household activities (cooking, cleaning, etc.) after years of practice, and is probably the sole reason the male members of the Snark household aren't dead of food poisoning or suffocation by their own filth.

Since her transformation into Wisp and the restoration of her soul, Elena has slid back into "Wisp mode" on several occasions, normally when involving significant danger to herself or those around her. It has so far been brief, with Wisp appearing long enough to counter or avoid whatever life threatening situation arises before Elena regains herself. Elena herself is unaware of what occurs during these times. There remains an incompatibility somewhere between her consciousness and the W.I.S.P. program, leading to short term memory loss when they switch roles.

The more this occurs the more it worries her, her outward signs of begrudging acceptance only there so she doesn't worry anyone else needlessly.

== Powers ==

Elena is starting to understand the skill with knives Wisp repeatedly demonstrated, but her inability to copy it properly has resulted in her summoning all manner of kitchen ware. Recently this has branched out into weaponry, but it's still not very dependable at the moment. Being a natural with knives even before her modification, her aim is impeccable even if what she's throwing isn't always what she expects.

The minor healing Wisp showed has carried over to Elena, but seems to have grown in ability. It has managed to heal significantly more damage than before, though with a noticeable drain on Elena's body in return. 

She has so far used it only once and only when Wisp, but somewhere within the W.I.S.P. programming is a means to generate a defensive energy field. Elias is so far the only one to witness this, as Elena has no recollection of it happening.

Since the battle with [[Vera Craft|Vera]] she has also begun manifesting a curious ability to mimic powers used against her. As of now it has only happened when she slips into her Wisp persona or through accidental (perhaps instinctual) use. It so far has only happened when around large sources of energy, and has paired itself with Elena growing more energetic and possibly erratic.

It also appears she possesses her mother's fighting instincts. In contrast to Elias, her style has more finesse, but her inexperience counters her natural ability. Between the two Elias is still the stronger brawler.

One mitigating factor for her use of these, even when Wisp, seems to be that she is incomplete. According to [[Hope Cannith|Hope]], she is lacking a true power source and her W.I.S.P. enhancements feed off her body to work. According to [[Alan]], she has the ability to siphon power from outside sources, but how this works is still very unclear.

== Motivations ==

Elena is starting to come into her own, but lacks all but the basest understandings of what she is capable of. Her natural protectiveness drives her towards learning how to defend herself and others, but the danger she sees in Wisp pushes her harder. She greatly dislikes having to depend on Wisp appearing in order to help, and strives for more control over her capabilities. In addition she is starting to recognize her own talents, inherited from her mother but so far unrefined. Being motherly by nature, she is working to enhance what abilities she has so she can better aid her new family.

-Notably, she is preposterously bad at knitting but believes she's really good at it. Clothing she makes may actually qualify as a torture device in most cultures. Elias wears what she makes for him without a fuss. Recent events binding her to a terrorbeast may have upped this to an entirely new level.

It has so far been brief, with Wisp appearing long enough to counter or avoid whatever life threatening situation arises before Elena regains herself. Though initially some incompatibility between the two sides of herself caused memory loss, the events while on Thelmessia resulted in a reconfiguration of the interface with some help from [[Melog]]. Since then Wisp has not resurfaced, possibly because Wisp no longer has to force control to follow her directives.
+The more this occurs the more it worries her, her outward signs of begrudging acceptance only there so she doesn't worry anyone else needlessly.
-Though it takes some effort to bring it out, Elena looks to have inherited Sonia's temper as well as her skills. It's easier to see how she and Elias are related in these moments, but also completely terrifying.

-'''Natural''':
+Elena is starting to understand the skill with knives Wisp repeatedly demonstrated, but her inability to copy it properly has resulted in her summoning all manner of kitchen ware. Recently this has branched out into weaponry, but it's still not very dependable at the moment. Being a natural with knives even before her modification, her aim is impeccable even if what she's throwing isn't always what she expects.
-A combination of impeccable aim with anything from throwing knives to claymores to battleaxes and burgeoning skill with close combat, she is very much turning into a force to be reckoned with. Her natural skill has been honed further under [[Melog]]'s "tutelage".
-She also seems to have a silver tongue in certain matters. Shop owners rarely know what hit them, and more than once she's managed to drag others into doing what she wants them to *cough*[[Mihail]]*cough*.
+The minor healing Wisp showed has carried over to Elena, but seems to have grown in ability. It has managed to heal significantly more damage than before, though with a noticeable drain on Elena's body in return.
-Given her parentage, it is entirely possible her recent signs of unusual strength are entirely natural in origin. Given she was able to easily wield weaponry nearly her size and scale the side of a building carrying two of the heavier team members through pure rage even before the introduction of her terrorbeast core, she may be more her mother's daughter than anyone guessed.
+She has so far used it only once and only when Wisp, but somewhere within the W.I.S.P. programming is a means to generate a defensive energy field. Elias is so far the only one to witness this, as Elena has no recollection of it happening.
-'''Wisp Added''':
+Since the battle with [[Vera Craft|Vera]] she has also begun manifesting a curious ability to mimic powers used against her. As of now it has only happened when she slips into her Wisp persona or through accidental (perhaps instinctual) use. It so far has only happened when around large sources of energy, and has paired itself with Elena growing more energetic and possibly erratic.
-Most of these Elena has either not mastered or has no idea she even possesses them. The notable exceptions are healing and weapon summons at this time.
-As revealed on [[Yuutsume]]'s world, Project W.I.S.P. was actually intended to house a manifested terrorbeast in such a way that the shell (Wisp) would remain intact rather than shatter or be driven completely mad. What, exactly, the purpose of this power source is is unclear, but [[Vicar]] has referred to her as Slayer. In addition to her ability to summon various weapons/cooking utensils and her quick healing, she also possesses some form of energy shield and her mother's signature attack: A Hundred Thousand Blades to Break. An attack so stupidly overpowered that Sonia decided it was a great way to one-shot dragons.
+It also appears she possesses her mother's fighting instincts. In contrast to Elias, her style has more finesse, but her inexperience counters her natural ability. Between the two Elias is still the stronger brawler.
-It seems her mimicry was actually a rapid analysis of various narrative affecting powers by Wisp, recorded for later use and possible neutralization. So far she has shown powers used by [[Vera Craft]], a multitude of parody Magical Girls, flight, and blood magic via [[Demer]]. She has also been introduced to several dozen completely useless powers by [[Winters]].
+One mitigating factor for her use of these, even when Wisp, seems to be that she is incomplete. According to [[Hope Cannith|Hope]], she is lacking a true power source and her W.I.S.P. enhancements feed off her body to work. According to [[Alan]], she has the ability to siphon power from outside sources, but how this works is still very unclear.
-What the introduction of the new core means for her is not yet certain. Her abilities are apparently unstable, anything from her knife throwing to her knitting suddenly showing erratic behavior. One can only imagine what it will do to her mood swings.
 == Motivations ==
-Recent revelations about what Wisp is have her more concerned than she lets on. It's not every day you find out you're the only thing standing between a creature that can unmake reality and the oblivion of most everything you know and love.

-The last thing she wants to do is unintentionally hurt anyone, so her primary goal is to bring her currently misbehaving skill set under control.
