El is a supporting character and Dragoncraft leader in Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond. She's also featured in Neometropolis from Shadowverse: Evolve.

Personality

El has a childlike attitude and mentality, remaining calm, composed, and always smiling. Due to having been a subject of experimentation all her life, El is obsessed with "recovering" her lost youth, which led her to create an organization where everyone behaves like high school students. She treats “school” as a home for dragons who can’t fit anywhere else, and she keeps the group moving forward through rituals, titles, and “youth” activities.

She has a strange kind of kindness. She can be affectionate toward people she appreciate, yet she also shows flashes of dragon ferocity when the topic turns to their enemies, guiltlessly murdering the scientists at the Amasia Factory for what they did to her.

Story

History

El was used as a test subject by the Amasia Factory in an experiment called "Flight," which sought to give people the powers of an Outsider called the "Dragon." This resulted in her humanity being lost, and she took on dragon-like features. After escaping from confinement, El led a revolt to kill all the scientists and destroy Amasia Factory, rescuing Kaori Yuihara in the process, who was the result of an experiment called the Cage.

Deciding to regain the youth that the experiment took away from all of them, El and the other test subjects founded the organization known as Maka Issenman High School, replacing Amasia Factory as one of the Six Clans of Togh Keyoh. She offered Kaori, whom she considered her "sister", to join, but she rejected it since her goal was to fight the "Butterfly".

Six Legends of the Destroying Dragon

El appears in the park at dawn, smiles, and “greets” the teacher by attacking him with her claws—nearly killing him, but without visible hatred. Right after, she casually invites him: “Would you like to be our teacher?”

Throughout the month, even when others record journals and contests, El is the one whose attitude makes Maka Issenman High School feel real. To her, it’s not paperwork or data—it’s home and youth. She repeatedly uses ritual language like “See you tomorrow at school,” treating routine as the core of belonging. El’s recurring line “The stars are beautiful” becomes a motif. The teacher looks at the sky through readings and information overlays; El often says it while focusing on him instead, showing how differently they “see” the same world.

On April 30, El meets the teacher on the bench for the promised end-of-month check-in. She questions him about the ward office, Amasia Factory connections, and whether he’s an enemy. She shows a flash hostility when “enemy” is confirmed, but she quickly returns to her practical priority: the present and the school. When the teacher mentions building a school and claims it’s “enough if we can make an entrance,” El calls him out—“Liar”—and the story highlights that she can read him without machines. The teacher apologizes for failing to help them in the past (as ward office staff). El accepts it simply, not giving him the emotional punishment he expects. That forces the teacher to confront that her values don’t match his guilt-driven morality.

El is present when the teacher completes the bureaucratic move that gets the school’s name officially recognized. She doesn’t treat recognition as the point—but her existence as “president” is what makes the school feel like a real institution in the first place. The report ends with her phrase—“See you tomorrow at school”—while the teacher, no longer needed, fades out of that future.

Worlds Beyond

El appears in front of Kaori after she stealed Fragment's omnisuit. Dredging up their shared past, El demands Kaori join her organization. Kaori refuses; as El won’t surrender the key that would remove Kaori’s limiter. Their duel is interrupted by Bansai Suzuki, who uses his Mystic Conversion to put El aside with her weakness to water, and then takes the key. Suzuki states that his Abacus predicted that if the key removes the limiter in Kaori's brain, her fire magic would become so strong that it would burn the entire city to ashes, but assures that she could carry out her mission just with the omnisuit. Before any resolution, the Smoke-Shrouded Butterfly arrives. Kaori had intended to drag both El and Suzuki into a three-way fight to wear the creature down. The gambit fails: the Butterfly overpowers them and possesses Kaori.
