-As a practitioner of Chaos Magic, the shift to SWL affected her greatly, especially as doppelgangers made their appearance in this reality, multiplying her consciousness across dimensions.

-Elana Drake was previously affiliated with Hollow Earth Consulting, a multifactional agency. She operates either at her Faction's behest or independently, sharing cases with Evelyn DeKorte, a Dragon agent. She is affiliated with the Templar faction, but has never sought membership with any specific Templar cabal or company within.

She operates either at her Faction's behest or independently, sharing cases with Evelyn DeKorte, a Dragon agent and fellow Chaos practitioner. She is affiliated with the Templar faction, but has never sought membership with any specific Templar cabal or company within.
 Elana lives in a single detached residence with her husband, Robert Drake[http://wiki.swlrp.com/index.php?title=Robert_Drake], on the island of Guernsey--close enough to London when needed, but far from the business of big city living. The crowded, daily emotional resonance of larger cities weigh too heavily on her senses for a reasonable quality of life.

-She is a Chaos magician with heightened psychoempathic senses, possessing the enhanced physiology and revival factors of typical Bees. Elana expresses her Chaos magic in combat through physical arts of varying styles, from krav maga to capoeira. Has some skill in minor handguns, and Blood magic, but only on a macro, imprecise scale. Her highly sensitive nature has proven versatility in tracking missing persons and pacifying civilians and agents in combat situations, and is a fundamental aspect of working with Chaos, falling into brief fugues from elation to despair when activating sigils or invoking extradimensional doppelgangers. She excels in support roles.

 Though generally open-minded with a kind temperament, Elana is highly reclusive and self-absorbed from the burden of processing extradimensional emotional energies. Though she would scarcely admit it in person, she relishes the opportunity to experiment with mind-altering substances and therapeutic quackery, or lengthy stays to spas and ashrams, to nurse her sanity.

 Elana loves Greek cuisine after a lengthy research venture in Ikaria, an island known for the incredible longevity of its residents. Her 'callsign' is an obvious reference to the goddess Hestia[https://greekgodsandgoddesses.net/goddesses/hestia/]. Her favourite beverage in the Horned God is Myrrh Ale.

 Elana is known for taking many pictures, often self portraits--she does this to keep track of her current reality, and to leave a journal for any who may take ''Her'' place.

−	Elana participates very openly across factions, believing (to her handler's chagrin) that the uncompromising loyalty espoused by Templars is yet another fixed paradigm unsuitable to Chaos practitioners like her--though this has never caused her to change factions entirely.
