Is Elaena the most noble women in the game?
1.) In episode 4 She brings the Arthur and the Glennmore soldiers to Ironrath to help Rodrik and Ironrath without her fathers knowledge.
2.) In episode 5, if Rodrik dies when she tells Asher that theyve lost the war, she says "WE have already lost." Implying that she was practically part of the Rodrik's family.
3.) In episode 5 if Rodrik is alive, even though that THE ENTIRE WHITEHILL ARMY is outside Ironrath's gates she tells Rodrik that SHE WANTS TO STAY at Ironrath. Even though there are hundreds of Whitehill soldiers just outside the Forrester stronghold.
So in a way Elaena is a Forrester in her heart.

She was pretty dishonorable if you ask me... she weasels out of her betrothal to Rodrik only to crawl back to him with stolen soldiers and demand that he be responsible for taking out Gryff.
Well her father told her to do it remember, besides in the end she didn't want Rodrik or the Forresters to die. Remember how she was when Rodrik died? She didn't have to be at Ironrath at all, but she wanted to be there to support them and Rodrik in the fight against the Whitehills
I admire the hell out of Elaena. Whatever she may end up doing in various people's games, she definitely seems genuine in her feelings for Rodrik despite the fact their potential marriage is arranged. It's not easy being a woman in that world but still she doesn't let anyone walk all over her. She's willing to kill Gryff to maintain her independence, for goodness sake. I don't see her as coming back to ask Rodrik for help as purely selfish or manipulative but as her confirming that she does want to be with him and wants to face all this ugliness together. That she says her place is at Ironrath even with this impending battle solidifies that for me.
I hope against hope we see her in season two and I'll be proverbially holding my breath until she's found or confirmed dead. I already have to catch myself half the time and say Elaena Glenmore vs. Elaena Forrester.
I remember her being pessimistic about us winning and when they brought us Rodrik's corpse she didn't even stay by his side. That hurt me (dead Rodrik) pretty bad.
I love Elaena but I wouldn't describe her as 'noble' she plots to murder someone to avoid marrying him. My Rodrik even pointed this out.
"You'd murder a man to prevent your marriage? I Know Gryff is horrible but to go that far--"
Eleana went behind her fathers back to bring the soldiers to Ironrath. He didn't tell to do anything except marry Gryff.
Elaena didn't really have any choice about maintaining / refusing Rodrik's betrothal - only ridiculously exceptional circumstances (Letter from future Queen, huge wealth offering) made her think that her father would accept the betrothal.
I think the soldiers were there for as much her gain as Rodrik's... but I agree that she really did care and take a great risk in helping us... even if it didn't pay off. I think Elaena really did care about Rodrik... so much so that on the one test play through I left Rodrik behind it broke my heart. Losing her brother, being cast out by her father and losing Rodrik in the space of a few weeks... she was brave. strong and loyal. By the end of the game, I considered her a Forrester, no matter what happened.
I think he/she meant Elaena's father told her to call off the betrothal with Rodrik.
No one is perfect and Elaena have her flaws, but I find her kind and caring. Her relationship with Rodrik is genuinely sweet. I want her and Rodrik to be married and be husband and wife.
She was very loyal to my Rodrick. That counts for a lot with me.
I thought that at first, but considering who it is, its real hard to blame her for it.
The most noble woman is Beskha.
Of course this all likely means that we will find out Elaena was killed. Not because I want it to be that way, but because I like a lot of people want Elaena and Rodrik to remain together. I just don't see Telltale allowing one of our characters to hold onto this happiness. Instead they will probably force us to marry Gwyn or someone else, that is of course if they even allow Rodrik to live in season 2.
He better. He's been through enough and I dont want little Ryon to be the only Forrester son left.
I hope so too, unfortunately I don't have much faith in Telltale not to just kill him off too.
