Personality
Electra is remarkably bright, energetic, and earnest, always striving to do her best.

Her determination to overcome this flaw drives her to embrace rigorous practice cheerfully.

Background
After being awakened through Blade bonding, Electra sought to comfort a crying child in Gormott, only to accidentally shock them with her uncontrolled electricity.

By performing good deeds and helping townspeople in various regions, she systematically practiced managing her lightning powers.
