Otherwise if you clearing Chapter 4 on lower difficulty than normal, Rofel will continue his journey with Lorina without mentioning his sister Elesis and the extra chapter will cannot be unlocked.

Elesis is Rofel's older sister and sword-fighting mentor. At 17, she had already traveled far to become a better swordfighter. Elesis first appears in the flashback along with Rofel who where born from dragons and raised by a small group of cities. After Rofel is still alive, Elesis returns to town to join her brother in training, only to part ways again after enduring a vicious attack from Jabberwocky Army.

Appearance
Elesis is a elder teenager of 17 years old which has very long crimson hair which her hair length reaches her thigh length and was tied with four red and while ear-like ribbon hair tie on the top and the bottom and the same color as her eyes.

Personality
Kind and sincere, Elesis is gentle support for her brother Rofel. If either one of them doubts themselves, Elesis is the one who advocates to restore his focus with a friendly and teen tone. While she is often content to watch her sword-fighting mentor teen from a respectful distance, she may occasionally break the tension between them by mildly teasing them. Even if she may share a close bond between her brother, Elesis is quite aware of her status as a Blazing Heart of Bahamut.

Elesis is the one person outside of the Dragonite family who can make a respectful manner for not only Rofel, but others as well. While Rofel may be charmed by her flustered mannerisms to him, Elesis keeps redirecting their focus to the importance of their livelihood siblings and the morale for their friendships. She also shares many interactions with Lorina, with the Alice Musou princess treating her much like a friend. In the final stage in story mode or any Aruto arc stages in Free Mode, Kiraha comments that Elesis's method of encouraging her loved brother are too harsh for her liking.

Fighting Style
Elesis Dragonite is an exceptional character all fields and she's similar to her younger brother Rofel's. Elesis uses her power of fire with her sword and she can slashes and burns all enemies in her path, without a doubt making Elesis Dragonite one of the most useful character in both burn and damaging, allowing her to pull of both aerial and ground combos with continuous fire damage on enemies and occasional use of Musou spamming. As a result, ability that allowed increase in fire elemental attack such as "Ruby" and "Flame" is essential to maximize her fire attacks.

Compared to Duke Artorius, Elesis is fairly versatile that she focuses on slower attacks with better crowd control; her broad swings can cover a huge range and are also useful in fighting officers and bosses. On the dept, the best move is her C1 and C4 making her a decent ranged character even without using her musous. As such, highly damaging elements such as Inferno, Cyclone, Slash, Certain-kill and Aggression are recommended to maximize the effect. Ability is used to increase damage for her skills and Air can be used to increase damage usage of her Aerial Charge Combos, and when combined with her other skills like Blasting Dragon or Dragon Fire Blade followed up with a useful Musou Attacks, this creates a lethal combination, allows her to depleting the enemies' health from full health to death in a matter of seconds.

On the downside of Elesis is intended to be a low Intellect rating. Some of her highly costly Skill Attacks especially Dragon Fire Blade might have insufficiently MP cost required to perform Skill Attacks. If she tries to charge her Firestorm Drive while her MP insufficient for cost of charged Firestorm Drive, only uncharged version can be performed. To counter this low Intellect rating. The player must increase the MP rate by equipping Accessories with increases MP and INT effect or any Accessories can cut the MP cost of the Skill Attack by half.
