Elissa Trabae

Elissa Trabae (エリッサ トラベイ Erissa Torabei) is Lazarus Trabae's mother and is known as the "Great War Hero". Her age and status is unknown.

BACKGROUND
Elissa's statue is centered in the Bolin Town Square in Matasia. Her name plate says "In Honor of Elissa Trabae". She has other statues of her, as Laz seems slightly surprised that "there's one here too" (page 24). She is revealed to be a war hero, meaning there was a war in recent history.

It's likely she is the same woman featured speaking with Lazarus on page 13, as they have similar hairstyles and have stars in the same place. It's implied by Chester that something has happened to her; it's likely she passed away.

PERSONALITY
Nothing is known about Elissa's personality at this time,other than she's knowledgeable in the history of Transtellonomy.

APPEARANCE
Elissa is a semi-muscular woman with excellent posture. She has short, spiky hair resembling Lazarus, but with shorter bangs and longer side-fringes. She has dark skin and dark hair, and her eye color is unknown. Her eyebrows are somewhat thick and shaped, but Arc believes the statue may not be completely accurate. She has a Shift Star mark below her collarbone.

As the statue, she wears a mid-sleeve shirt with a wide collar, a harness, and combat boots. In the flashback, she wears the same outfit minus the harness and seems to be older.

SHIFT STAR ABILITIES
She hasn't been shown in combat scenarios, so, therefore, this information is unknown.

Lazarus Trabae
Elissa is confirmed to be the mother of Lazarus. Their exact relationship is unknown, but it's implied they are at least close. The details are yet to be explained.

TRIVIA

 * Arc has considered writing a prequel series to Shift Star that includes details about Elissa and some of the history leading up to the main series. One of the beta ideas explores why there are statues of her in the first place.
 * Arc believes Elissa would have a deep, strong voice that sounds like Colleen Clinkenbeard.
 * Elissa may very well be deceased, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
