Elena is a Russian exchange student who transfers to the Japanese branch and wastes no time asking Haimura Moroha out. During her class introduction, she reveals she's got no family except for a younger brother, and that she basically came to Japan specifically to get into a relationship with him. Yeah, she's direct about it.
On a date with Haimura, she drops that she knows Edward Lombard from the UK branch, which hints at connections across different branches. She also explains that the Russian branch operates nothing like a traditional school—their saviors are trained military-style and regularly sent into combat while still young. It's a pretty different setup from what the Japanese students experience.
