Description
Hercule Barton, known as Elly, stands as a central figure throughout the Tantei Opera Milky Holmes franchise. Named for Hercule Poirot, this 16-year-old girl possesses a height of 151cm, a weight of 46kg, and AB blood type. Her defining personality traits are extreme shyness and a tendency towards intense embarrassment, causing her to struggle in group conversations and often be overlooked. Despite her timid nature, she occasionally strives to act as the voice of reason within her team, though her contributions are typically ignored.
A notable discomfort with being observed complicates her part-time job as a posing model for an art center, sometimes resulting in nightmares about artists staring at her. Paradoxically, this role represents her persistent effort to confront her social anxieties. Among her peers, she demonstrates relatively advanced sexual knowledge, reacting strongly to suggestive situations—fleeing when asked to pose provocatively during a game or blushing intensely upon witnessing intimate interactions between teammates.
Her supernatural ability, called a "Toy," grants her superhuman strength. While the full scope remains undemonstrated in the main anime after the team collectively lost their Toys, isolated instances reveal its potential: blocking a sword attack from Stone River in the PSP game, shattering a levitated rock mass controlled by Sheryl, wielding a construction excavator like a bat, and effortlessly lifting and throwing a beached whale. Significantly, she was the only Milky Holmes member to temporarily reactivate her Toy during a crisis while the group was otherwise powerless.
Interpersonally, she exhibits deep admiration for certain older figures, notably referring to Mary and Kate as "Onee-sama" (elder sister) with visible reverence, forming heart-shaped eyes in their presence. She enjoys being called "kitten" by Kate and expresses wishes to reunite with them. Within Milky Holmes, she shares close living quarters, including sleeping in the same bed as her teammates, and displays moments of awe, such as marveling at Cordelia's physical attributes during cosplay. Observations of intimate moments between Cordelia and Nero Yuzurizaki trigger intense blushing, hinting at possible romantic feelings toward Nero.
Her background places her as a detective student at Holmes Detective Academy within the team framework of Milky Holmes. Her development subtly intertwines with her ongoing battle against passivity, consistently portraying the tension between her innate timidity and moments of determined action or emotional vulnerability.
