	==Story ~~Points (Spoilers!)~~==		==Story==
	''~~Warning! This section contains spoilers~~.''		Like the other Rusalki, Elsenova was imprisoned by the [[Sudran (Race)\|Sudrans]] underground after crossing the [[Breach]] to arrive on Sudra.<ref>[[The Kuliltu (Note)]]</ref> Their bodies were taken from them as the Sudrans took the [[Breach Attractor]]<ref>[[Security Notice (Note)]]</ref> and surrounded Sudra with Breach. After the conflict between Athetos and the Rusalki began, Ophelia created the plan to make a copy of Athetos, which Elsenova appears to have agreed with eventually; it is implied she did not agree or like this plan at first, and doubted her own actions in the conflict.<ref>[[The Outsider (Note)]]</ref> She appears to be close with Veruska, as well, though isn't very trusting of Ophelia, or possibly wasn't in the past.

	Elsenova ~~initially tells~~ Trace she ~~doesn~~'~~t know why he is on~~ [[~~Sudra~~]] ~~or how~~ he ~~got there~~. ~~However~~, this is only partially true~~. The~~ [[~~Rusalki~~]] ~~don~~'~~t know how the original Trace arrived on [[Sudra]]~~, ~~but they did make this particular clone of Trace~~ that ~~is controlled by the player through the events played out in Axiom Verge~~. ~~Elsenova is actually carrying out a plan contrived with~~ [[Ophelia]], ~~in the hopes of stopping~~ [[~~Athetos~~]] ~~from wiping out~~ the ~~remaining inhabitants of [[Sudra]]~~. ~~(It seems~~ that the ~~real objective~~ is ~~actually disabling the breach attractor~~ and ~~escape Sudra~~. ~~What~~ the ~~[[Rusalki]] want beyond freedom from their current imprisonment~~ is ~~unknown~~.~~) Elsenova despises [[Athetos]] and~~ is ~~intent on destroying him~~, and ~~[[Ophelia]] convinced~~ her ~~that a clone of~~ the ~~original Trace would be able to help them do so~~.		Throughout the events of the game, Elsenova mistreats Trace, ranging from several unnecessary white lies to treating him like a puppet in order to get to Athetos. She is stated to hate Athetos, and it can be assumed the rest of the Rusalki do as well. She frequently tries to assert power over Trace, insisting he must kill Athetos and even going as far as to turn on his nanogates to show him she's in control of him.<ref>[[Cutscenes\|Cutscene]] 0030, AV1</ref> She also tells Trace that he was "found" in the Breach<ref>''"Trace, my "sister"- Ophelia- find you in Breach."'' -Elsenova, [[Cutscenes\|Cutscene]] 0011, AV1</ref>, though this may only be partially true; the tool used to detect him<ref>[[Goodbye (Note)]]</ref>, a scry<ref>''"Using a special device called a Scry, we searched for another PatternMind that could stop him."'' -[[Ophelia]], [[Cutscenes\|Cutscene]] 0027, AV1 </ref>, has an unknown function and could involve the Breach. However, the player character Trace was cloned in a Rebirth Chamber, and Elsenova does not want to admit this until Trace remembers his past and remembers that he's Athetos.

			However, she still evidently cares about Trace. She apologizes to him face to face after obtaining her body, and tells him he shouldn't carry the blame for Athetos's crimes. She also doesn't explicitly lie to him about Sudra's past, answering his questions as best she can. After Athetos is killed, Trace collapses and she tells him to rest, easing him into sleep.

			Throughout the game, she is both very helpful and very defensive. She is also the only Rusalka to be shown attached to her full body; she bears a fish-like body with turrets all alongside her stomach, and equipped with a laser built into her mouth. This is likely the reason her lower jaw is dismantled when the player first encounters her.
