OVA
Description
Elena Goldsmith, known as Erina or nicknamed "Elirin," is an American-born woman raised in Osaka, Japan. Severe childhood bullying by Japanese peers due to her foreign appearance fostered deep-seated anger, trust issues, and resentment. This led to a violent criminal phase involving assaults and robberies, masking a core desire for acceptance beneath her aggression.
She owns and operates "The Rival," an urban casino and restaurant prone to street fights, inspired by the real-life Japanese venue "The Royal." She employs bunny-suited waitresses whom she trains as skilled fighters. As a competitor in V.G. tournaments, she initially aimed to win prize money to bring her grandmother from Texas to Japan, but later participated purely for enjoyment.
Depicted with blonde hair and a busty figure, she is often clad in a bunny suit. Her height is 160 cm (5'2") in games and 172 cm (5'8") in the Advanced Variable Geo OVA. Her "Kenka Sappo" (Brawl Skill) fighting style relies on street-brawling techniques honed through delinquency, not formal martial arts. She uses brass knuckles to channel her ki and conceals a lighter in her cleavage for flame-based attacks.
Key special attacks include "Elirin Fire" (releasing flames from her lighter), "Elirin Mach Punch" (rapid-fire punches), "Elirin Tsuutenkaku-otoshi" (a knee lift followed by a slam), and "Elirin Sanrenbu" (a rekka combo ending with a superkick). She possesses durability allowing her to withstand energy blasts comparable to car explosions and can react to opponents using electricity or teleportation.
Initially loud, confrontational, prone to crude humor, and quick to anger, she presented a carefree facade while harboring distrust and bitterness from her past. She gradually mellowed after forming bonds through tournament battles. She shows no shame in public nudity, happily stripping after losses as per tournament rules. Despite her rowdiness, she demonstrates good sportsmanship, forgiveness, and loyalty to friends like Jun Kubota, with whom she shares a fierce rivalry.
Her character development across media shows a shift from isolation to camaraderie. Early portrayals emphasize cruelty and volatility, while later narratives highlight her capacity for humor, respect for rivals like Yuka Takeuchi, and genuine enjoyment of combat regardless of outcome.
