Princess Elise the Third

Princess Elise the Third is a fictional character from the Sonic the Hedgehog series of games. She recently made her first appearance in Sonic the Hedgehog. She is voiced by Lacey Chabert in English.



Game Appearance
She is killed when the Egg Carrier explodes, as well as Eggman, but Sonic and Silver use Chaos Control to go back in time and save Princess Elise and Eggman before it exploded due to unstable engine.

In the "Last Story", Elise kisses Sonic to bring him back from the dead (using the Chaos Emeralds) before the battle with Solaris. After Solaris is destroyed, Sonic and Elise go back in time to when Solaris was just a flame. Elise takes the flame and tells Sonic that if it does not blow out, the flame that will become Solaris in the future, it will result in her and Sonic never meeting. Sonic confirms this with a nod of his head. Overcome in despair, the princess shouts that she doesn't care what happens to the rest of the world, meaning that to her their friendship means more to her than anything. Sonic tells Elise to just smile, meaning to accept life's ways for the what they are and to go with the flow, even when things aren't going satisfactorily. Elise considers this. With tears in her eyes, Elise gently blows Solaris from existence, thus erasing the whole game's events and happenings. With this being done, the game returns back to its beginning scene when the Festival of the Sun is taking place in Soleanna, except that Eggman doesn't come to abduct Elise since there is no so called "Flames of Disaster" secret. As the ceremony is taking place, Sonic rushes past the boat that Elise is on. At this point in time, Sonic obviously has a small recollection of Elise. The "wind" of his rapid pace causes one of the feathers in Elise's hair to detach. After staring in wonder at the floating detached feather for a while, one of her maids comments that it was probably just the wind that gushed by. Elise acknowledges this, but states that this "wind" feels familiar some how. After this we see Sonic, who is perched upon a stone structure high above where the Soleanna festival is taking place. The game concludes where Sonic is watching Elise's detached feather float up into the moonlit sky.

Abilities
Elise has some sort of supernatural ability which is unspecified, possibly from Iblis within her. When Elise and Sonic are together, she is somehow able to make him light enough to travel across the surface of water and over quicksand for short amounts of time.

Relationships
Elise meets many other characters in the game but the following are the closest to her:

Elise's most prominent relationship is with Sonic. She forms a close friendship to Sonic, possibly to the point of being in love with him. Mephiles uses this as an advantage, and kills Sonic, making Elise cry and free Iblis. Elise revives Sonic with a kiss, also turning him into Super Sonic. After the defeat of Solaris, Elise and Sonic travel to a point in the past where they find the Flames of Disaster at its birth. Elise decides to put out the Flames. Although Solaris will never exist, this also will make that she will never meet Sonic. Elise screams that she doesn't care what happens to the world. Sonic tells her to smile. Elise puts out the Flames of Disaster, destroying Solaris forever, and causing a time reboot. At the end of the game, Sonic watches Elise in the Festival of the Sun.

Elise is also close friends with Amy Rose. Amy rescues her from Eggman's base then escorts and saves her from the robots that are chasing her, and they become friends. Amy also comforts her in the Last Story of the game, and they can be seen together.

Elise also met Silver the Hedgehog when Silver traveled to the past to investigate about the Solaris Project. Silver watched how Solaris was separated into Mephiles and Iblis, and was also the only witness of how the Duke of Soleanna, Elise's father, sealed Iblis into Elise. Silver promises to the dying Duke of Soleanna to take her to a safer place. Silver then returned to the present, but not before giving Elise the blue Chaos Emerald he had, telling her to keep it as a lucky charm.
