Elizabeth Blanctorche

Elizabeth Blanctorche is the last known remaining Blanctorche, a family of nobles in France who supposedly protect the innocent and are tasked with stopping Those from the Past. She is the childhood friend of Ash Crimson and they were raised in the same mansion together. She used to act as his older sister figure, until a fire burned down the mansion and many of her clansmen to the ground. As the sole remaining Blanctorche, she lives with her butler, Jacques, near the remains of her family's home. Elisabeth initially invites both Benimaru Nikaido and Duo Lon to France to reveal that she knows of the betrayal of Ron and the burning of the Hizoku village. They inform her of Ash's theft of Chizuru Kagura's Yata Mirror and she decides to join them. With the trio banded with the interest to take down Ash, they form the Rival Team and enter KOF XI. In her team's ending, after the Tournament's conclusion, she eventually finds and scolds Ash for seeming to forsake their mission. Though surprised by Ash's new powers (after he steals Iori Yagami's Yasakani Jewel), she swears to stop him. Before meeting with Duo Lon and Shen Woo, she revisits the burned down mansion where she and Ash spent their childhood with a handful of photographs from the area in her hand. During her meeting with her guests, she becomes aware of their intents to join the King of Fighters XIII tournament with her and Ash's location in Paris. Although she just missed him, Elisabeth knows that he was there and fortifies her will to stop him. She reunites with Ash in the final act of the tournament only moments after Ash erases Saiki from existence. She yells her protest to his selfish decision, stating that she wanted to bring Ash back home with her. When he disappears with his apologies, Elisabeth mourns over the only memento he left behind: his headband. Prior to the the fourteenth tournament, Elisabeth was contacted by Kukri, who helped her to recall her memories of Ash. In exchange for reviving Ash, Kukri sought the cooperation of the Blanctorche family, to which she accepted without any hesitation. After the events of the tournament, Verse's destruction unleashed many souls to spread worldwide. Elisabeth is informed by Kukri that he found Ash's body in the Ukraine Carpathian Mountains, and reveals that Ash was among the many people whose souls were trapped inside of Verse's body. Prior to the fifteenth tournament, Kukri meets up with Ash and Elisabeth in a cafe in Southern France and explains his backstory to them, although he then tells them that it was made up. Kukri is annoyed that despite everything he tried to revive Dolores, Ash was revived instead. During a live interview of The King of Fighters, Dolores appears on screen, to Kukri's shock. Due to this sudden news, Kukri storms out of the establishment, and Elisabeth follows after him. At the conclusion of the tournament, all is well. Kukri goes back to his homeland with Dolores; while Ash, Elisabeth, Duo Lon and Shen Woo eat together at a buffet of crabs. Elisabeth and Ash go back to their home, reminiscing old times leisurely. Thanks to Kukri that defeating Re Verse and Otoma=Raga will not cause Ash and other fighters who died in the past to cease and remains alive after surviving the battle against them to save multiverse, Elisabeth is also happy to have Ash back. She is a very serious and strict high class member of nobility. Once she has decided to do something, she'll do whatever it takes to get it done. Perhaps due to her upbringing, she doesn't find it urgent to always keep her promised meetings with her teammates of lower stature. Though she is the one who invites them to her dwelling, she arrives tardy and usually denounces them within a few moments of their conversation. She fondly thinks of Ash as her younger brother, but she has since prepared herself to stop him at any costs, and deeply grieved at the ensuing loss, resolving to make up for lost time upon his revival. Elisabeth finds condolence with her pleasant, elderly butler, as he is the only one near her who knows the details of her past with Ash. Elisabeth attacks with a short ranged riding crop. She also uses magical light powers to trick and trap others. she is 22 years old.
