Elaina Usui

Elaina Usui (碓氷 イレイナ Usui Ireina) is the daughter of Misaki Ayuzawa and Takumi Usui. She is one of the main protagonist along with her older siblings Sara and Rui in the one-shot manga Yuki Ochimura ni Ojou-sama!

Appearance
Elaina mainly resembles her father. She is a small girl with long blonde hair, almost reaching her waist, and the large bow on the back of her head is a dark shade of magenta and is at the end of a twisted braid. She has shown to have sharp canine teeth and big, innocent eyes that frame her face. She has heterochromia, the right eye is amber like Misaki's and the left is green like Usui's. Her pupils become narrow when she is serious or angry, resembling that of a cat's. She is considered very cute.

Personality
Elaina is a kind and serene young lady who is adored by everyone. She always accompanies her father, Takumi Usui, as they have a very close relationship. She has a sarcastic, apathetic attitude and does not put much emotion into her words. Since her early childhood, Elaina was very independent, at times even appearing arrogant and condescending. Despite that, Elaina was very perceptive and intuitive, quickly realising the situation for what it was.

It is revealed that Elaina is a very innocent, shy, but sweet, kind-hearted, and soft-spoken girl. She dislikes unnecessary conflict and prefers to sort things out with civil conversations. Despite how she may come off, she is emotionally stable, even more so than the rest of her family. She prefers to bottle up her true feelings, and chooses to show a smile outwards. She can be somewhat clueless at times, when Rui tells her to be careful, she says that she won't "trip onto anyone" due to her "very ditzy" nature, but he was really telling her that there were other boys who had their eyes on her. She didn't pick up these clues but is saved by Sara.

Despite her gentle nature, she has a jaded personality inside. Her outlook on life was quite cynical which is why she didn't bother with friendships since they would seperate eventually. Elaina always kept people at arm's length with mocking humor, nihilism, and emotional detachment. She is often very quiet and tries to stay out of trouble, being very reserved and only talking when needed. Elaina isn't very trusting. She treats anyone who tries to get too close to her coldly and is not really sociable.

She is a highly intelligent girl, being regarded as a once-in-a-century genius. Elaina has shown no signs of arrogance, and is rather modest about her abilities. Wanting to be strong like her mother, she learned how to fight, mainly baguazhang.

As Misaki says, the way Elaina's head is wired is just like her fathers as she is often very quiet and tries to stay out of trouble.
