Personality:

Elektra is a closed off, distrusting person. When she meets someone she refuses to give her name. She does everything in her power to push whoever tries to speak to her away if her bodyguards do not get to it first. She is even willing to get violent if that is what it takes to get rid of them. When they are willing to fight to get past her walls, however, she shows a different part of herself. She is playful and caring woman. It is plain to see with her interactions with Matt. She goes to great length to make him feel welcome in her world so to speak with little touches like an engraved invitation her blind companion can “read.” She listens to him attentively during their first date and stays after he pleads with her to despite the fact he brought up a very painful moment from her past.

That is because Elektra is driven by how she feels about other people; most importantly her family. Her father and mother are the most important people in the world to her. Her experiences with them are what shapes who she is. She is strong because her father pushes her to be. We see in flashbacks this stems back to her very early childhood when he forces her to tread water despite the fact she is clearly exhausted. It is safe to assume her compassion stems from her mother who is shown briefly worrying about her daughter during on these training sessions.

That need to be strong is not solely from her father's insistence, it is also has to do with her mother's fate. Her mother was tragically murdered in front of her as a child. Elektra has spent the rest of her life after that fearing becoming a victim after that horrible day. It stands to reason that is why she pushes people away. If there is any doubt, Elektra's confession to Matt about fearing good things happening in her life more or less confirms it. She is scared to become a victim. She is scared to be happy because she knows what it is like to have that ripped away. As Wilson Fisk notes to Elektra's father, she had not smiled the way she did with Matt since the death of her mother. Elektra's mother, limited screen time or not, made her happy. Her loss made it difficult for Elektra to let people in and love them the way she had loved her mother.

That loss also had darker ramifications. In the absence of love, Elektra will do anything to satisfy her anger over losing it. She will revel in hurting her enemies. The way she pursues Daredevil and tries to savor every moment of killing him makes that painfully clear. If she loses enough, murder and pushing away the people who care for her like Matt are perfectly acceptable options. To say she is not equipped to handle loss is an understatement. Elektra goes over the edge when permanently separated from her loved ones by death. It takes years and a chance at stopping her tragedy from repeating itself on a child she identifies with to bring her back.

Elektra seems to be largely uninvolved in the world throughout both movies. She seems to move from place to place without giving it a second thought. I imagine her view on it is cynical. It is a place where bad things happen if anything worth noting happens at all. She connects more with things on a smaller scale for positive or negative. A world like Teleios will not be an exception either. She likely will not believe it is even real at first. When she does, Elektra will hate it for keeping it away from where she wishes to be. She would not view her crimes as any wrong doing on her part. She is a person who can justify anything she does no matter how terrible it might be. To Elektra, anything she chooses to do is right given the situation.

Now to sum it up, Elektra is a person driven by love. It can make her do terrible things like kill and hurt others or protect and care for other people. Given what happens to her, it is more of the first one.

Powers/Abilties: Elektra has no supernatural powers. She is however a skilled martial artist proficient with many weapons. We see her wield a pair of sai, a compound bow, and bow staff effortlessly throughout both movies. Given how her father made her train from a very early age it is safe to say she probably learned more than what we were shown.

It gives the best idea of what to expect in game from her.

Prose Sample:

She might have unintentionally hit a new low. The heiress can privately admit beating up a blind man in front of children is not the action of someone who has their life on track. Elektra does feel it was a necessary action even factoring her opponent's handicap. Matt Murdock had it coming as far as she was concerned. No rational woman would have taken a man following her around after being rejected well. Unlike them, she had the means to hammer in no means no. If anything she was doing other women a favor when she inevitably ran into men like the lawyer from Hell's Kitchen. They would think twice before trying to bully their way into a woman's life again.

The fact that she was looking into the man right now so she could catch up with him again did not undermine her argument. If Matt had given up she would not have thought of him again. She sees nothing wrong with acknowledging that truth. It still did not justify him following around and making innocent faces at her in hopes of discovering her name. He was not a lost puppy and she was not that easy to manipulate. Besides, Elektra did not owe him her time. She owed nothing to anyone as a matter of fact with the exception of her father. Elektra intended to make that perfectly clear to Matt when she saw him later tonight.
