Her name, Elaea, comes from the scientific name for the Silver Berry, Elaeagnus angustifolia. Her mother chose the name, with advice from Briallan. The Silver Berry tree is both beautiful and thorny, strong and fragrant. It can live in drought and poor soil, thriving everywhere.

Like the tree she is named after, Elaea is capable of kindness, resilience, and strength. She is able to do much, though she is unsure of what to do for a career. She goes from dragon to dragon, assisting them with their daily tasks. One can find her in Argyros's forge, her mother's lab, her father's training grounds, or out gathering with a clanmate. She often goes off with her nameless older brother, comforting the broken coatl.
