Elena Haven

Elena Haven (エレナ＝ハーフェン) is the former member of Motoyasu's party and also the daughter of the noble of Melromarc.

Appearance
Her hair is brown and medium length.

Personality
Elena is strong-minded with a sense of responsibility. Naofumi describes her as lazy.

She is honest to herself. She doesn't want to fight, and if possible she would like to live luxuriously. The mission of Heroes or the World’s fate doesn't matter to her. If she could she would instantly throw out such a mission. In fact, she would rather not participate in the wave at all. She would rather take it easy in the shadow of someone strong.

She is calculating, but unlike Bitch she doesn't seem to gain pleasure from looking down on others and only seeks her own comfort and benefits.

In her own words, she doesn't discriminate anyone who is strong and will always associate with them and doesn't stick to the side.

Abilities
Elena is a magic warrior that uses a sword and seems strong with good reflexes. She can fight up close or far away but gets distracted while chanting magic so she is a bit lacking when it comes to ranged combat.

Background
Elena's father is a noble who earned his rank by distinguishing himself in the military, and her mother is the daughter of a merchant who made a fortune in business.

Her father was annoying since he is a Hero devotee. Living with her parents was uncomfortable. Her mother does business, and if Elena stopped being the companion of a hero, she would probably be married to a noble or knight, and help her mother out in business.

She joined Motoyasu one week after she started adventuring. When she entered, the only other man in the party left. After she joined two other men also did. Hence there were 5 women and two men. Ones who joined along the way, and did not fit in were chased out. Afterward, several of the members got replaced repeatedly. Though there hasn't been a new member for a while now.

Volumes 1-5
Elena Haven was first introduced as "Woman 1". She was mentioned to be with Motoyasu in times of his quest to deliver food to Dragon Village. She also joined in with Malty and her friends, in all of their deeds. She was disgusted with the food made by Motoyasu. She accompanied the gang for class-up and for fighting the waves.

She is the one who Raphtalia stabbed when they were fleeing the country with Melty. Before going to Cal Mira Archipelago, Raphtalia had word war with Malty and Lesty while she stayed in the background while the tension escalates. She neither joined them nor stopped them.

Volume 10
Motoyasu's party charged in to fight the Spirit Tortoise. Motoyasu believed that his party can take down the monsters for they are at level 80. But he couldn't do much with a less of a scratch on the Tortoise. Seeing the lesser chance of survival, she left without looking back, abandoning Bitch and Woman 2. And after getting far away from the Tortoise, she hid until the commotion died down. Then she returned to her parent’s home.

Her mother was quite happy that she had survived. She told her that being an adventurer was too dangerous and that she should take over her company. Her mother decided that she would talk her father into it.

Her father who was worried about her daughter and complained to the queen. When he returned to the house, he saw his daughter working, as if nothing happened. Elena’s safety was their top priority. They used her Father’s connection to prevent her from being turned in to the country and executed. It was negotiated that instead of putting her on trial, they would use her as bait to lure Motoyasu out.

Elena assists Naofumi in finding Motoyasu in an attempt to capture him and bring him to the castle for questioning about the release of the Spirit Tortoise, but unfortunately, he uses a teleportation skill 「Portal Spear」 to warp away.
