OVA
Description
Elma hails from the dragon world's Harmony faction, serving as a counter to Tohru's Chaos faction. Stranded in the human world, she adopts the alias Elma Joui and works alongside Kobayashi as a programmer. Her dragon form manifests as a 120-meter-long blue sea serpent wielding water-based powers. In human guise, she stands 173 cm tall with a B90/W78/H84 figure, short black hair (purple-tipped in later media), blue eyes, and a concealed spiral horn. Her attire alternates between business wear with round glasses for work, and casual trousers, jackets, and scarves. She carries a trident that integrates with her dragon tail.
Personality-wise, Elma persistently pursues Tohru's return to the dragon world but exhibits extreme indecisiveness in daily choices like food selection. Her defining trait is ravenous gluttony, especially for sweets like cream bread and chocolate, which strains her finances and compromises Harmony faction rules against human interference. Others exploit this appetite for bribery. Despite faction conflicts, she shares intricate history with Tohru: they initially collaborated as "Seikai the Miko" to observe humans until human worship of Elma triggered holy wars. Tohru destroyed Elma's palace, culminating in a battle that separated them. Manga chapters later reveal Elma developed and confessed romantic feelings for Tohru, though rejected.
Her human integration features workplace misunderstandings: she once believed Kobayashi faced sacrificial "pillar" duties, challenging her to a productivity duel while fasting until Kobayashi clarified corporate norms. Elma also joined Tohru's neighborhood patrol under false pretenses, leading to collaborative encounters with delinquents and Fafnir. Socially, she directed a retirement home play, participated in New Year traditions with fellow dragons, and struggled with chocolate-making for colleagues by consuming ingredients. Camping trips with younger characters like Kanna revealed protective instincts, including transforming to fight a bear despite exposure risks.
Season 2 narratives highlight her deploying protective barriers during dragon battles when bribed with food. A workplace strike demanding better conditions primarily sought improved cafeteria meals. Her dragon identity nearly surfaced when Riko Saikawa photographed her river-dwelling dragon form, requiring Kanna's intervention to disguise the incident.
