After her escape, she had a moment where she was taking her anger out on people who were "bad but not ''that'' bad", and decided that she wanted something that would channel her anger into a force for good - becoming '''The Champ''' and then teaming up with [[Paternoster]], [[Grouse]], and [[Mr Good]] has become that for her.

Prior to getting superpowers, her in ring name was ‘La Flore Le Tal’. She was known for having a “good chin” (aka good at being punched in the face).
== History and Involvement==
Elena was once a golden gloves boxer known in the ring as La Flor Letal. She had a reputation for having a "good chin"—i.e., she was good at being punched in the face. Her wrestling prowess gained her the attention of the [[Veranda Family|Veranda family]], who kidnapped her and genetically experimented on her to make her into a better boxer. These experiments worked too well: Elena acquired super strength and used this power to knock her captors unconscious, punch through a wall, and escape.

Her civilian clothes lean towards a baggy, Rocky montage-style sweatsuit. Her costume is "a cool special hero hoodie": the top of her outfit is a cross between a flack jacket and a hoodie with the print of a championship belt on it, and with it she wears a domino mask, tight pants with purple hashtags on them, and mid-calf metal boots.[2]

Her style in the Extracurricular arc is similar to "a 1920s Avril Lavigne".
