Accel Operative Elara Steele (a.k.a. Spectre)
A ex-Team Accel member that has near-unparalleled observational skills. She is not high in the ranks of Team Accel, mostly known as a skillful agent in the field. Her unique position allows her to obtain info most non-Psionics can't. With this, she acts as a double agent to assist her fellow supernatural-based people in getting their lives back; additionally helping the people of Thenia rebelling against Team Accel as well, despite the unrest generated from enforcement of how "dangerous" supernatural people are.

Her Pokémon partners are an engimatic Banette named Shade and a timid Hisuian Goodra named Hallow. Shade posesses a
Mega Stone, allowing Spectre to transform him into a Mega Banette. In this form he gains enhanced offense and speed. Hallow provides support in the form of being the tank in the case of direct contact with any adversaries.

Mental characteristics
After moving from the Kalos region to live a new life away from home, things were sporadic and unprecedented. Despite the chaotic start, Elara adapted to her college life in Thenia. She pursued her studies in psychology with a newfound depth of understanding, looking forward to immersing herself in her studies and exploring the unique blend of traditions and innovations that the region offered. Elara's move-in day was filled with anticipation and the usual hustle and bustle of settling into a new environment.
On the very day she arrived in Thenia, a cataclysmic event known as the Blinding occurred. This mysterious phenomenon disrupted the natural order, causing widespread chaos and fear. The sky darkened, and strange, powerful energies were unleashed, affecting both humans and Pokémon. The Blinding marked a significant turning point in Thenia's history, leaving its inhabitants grappling with the aftermath and the emergence of new threats.
In the days following the Blinding, Elara began experiencing strange sensations and heightened perceptions. Initially, she dismissed them as stress-related symptoms from the recent upheaval. However, as the days passed, her abilities became more pronounced. She discovered that the shock of the event awoke her Psionic blood. She could hear the thoughts of those around her, using her abilities to gain unique insights into human behavior and mental processes. These newfound powers overwhelmed her, but Elara soon realized their potential and began to hone her skills as a Telepath, causing her to be able hear the thoughts of anyone she came across. Currently, she is able to sense a number of people that are a great distance away from her location.
Elara's intelligence and secretive use of her abilities caught the attention of Team Accel, who recruited her as a special operative. She called herself Spectre to avoid her identity being known by criminals. Unbeknownst to them, her true mission was to dismantle the organization from within. Using her Telepath abilities to gather intelligence, she would go on to sabotage operations and protect other supernatural beings targeted by Team Accel from the shadows. Balancing her double life, Elara continued her studies, leveraging her academic knowledge and psychic powers to outmaneuver her adversaries and work towards her ultimate goal of liberating those with supernatural abilities. The more she learned about Team Accel and their persecution of the supernatural community, the more determined she became to protect her newfound brethren. Elara took it upon herself to act as an informant by leaking her enemies' secrets, being only contactable through various specific people. Via Accel comms, she intercepted Koji, Frank, Jasper, and Ava of
The Phalanx to ask for their aid in raiding an Accel Base in the outskirts of
Allegro. They were successful in their efforts and Elara agreed she owed the adventuring party a favor.

History
Via Accel comms, Elara intercepted Koji, Frank, Jasper, and Ava of The Phalanx to ask for their aid in raiding an Accel Base in the outskirts of Allegro. They were successful in their efforts, Elara saying she owed the adventuring party a favor.
After some time apart, Koji and Layla reunite with Ms. Steele Elara greets Layla first as she coos to Shadow, Elara's Banette. Elara's Psionic senses pick up as she senses Layla's abilities. After a touch of small talk, the group speaks of intel that Elara has gathered after her cover has been blown from working under team Acel. Speaking of files on their party, recent combat from Ava & Frank, even that Elara is GG's mystic niece. Debriefing slowly turns to a heart to heart, words spoken in confidence with a hint of alcohol. As Layla becomes a touch too intoxicated, feelings are shared through an Aura connection between Koji & Elara. To stay in contact, Elara creates a pseudo two way comms with Koji's Celebi pendant. As Layla rests floating partially in the air of the private room, her pokemon trying to bring her back down, Elara leaves a kiss against Koji's cheek, wishing him safe travels. A moment of peace, despite its short duration.
Relationship Reasoning
Koji finds Spectre to be fascinating, referring to her when asked if he finds anyone attractive during a late night campfire talk with his party.

While they do express stong interest in one another, they have more pressing matters to attend to that seperates them at this time.
