Personality:
Elita is much like her mate. She can be highly compassionate, considerate, and cares for all forms of life, whether cybertronian, human, or alien alike. Life is precious to her, and she is always striving to help preserve it. Elita is every bit good sparked and caring as her long-time partner, having good morals, caring, and approachable, often being dutiful and loyal to a fault for those she cares for. She is however perhaps a bit more open and out-going than Optimus, generally not minding talking to others and doesn't always sugar coat things. She can be a little more blunt, direct, and firm than her counterparts, perhaps sharing some characteristics of her fellow lieutenants in trying to do the right thing but is more flexible with protocol when she herself does not always follow them.
Where Elita contrasts though is that she is certainly more hyperactive and energetic than most in her position. Elita is not one to follow strict protocols and prefers doing things her own way, usually rarely sitting still and generally is laid-back and willing to talk of listen if need be. However, she can be serious when it comes down to it, being strict and firm when the situation is serious and dire, but maintains a level head. She can be honest, blunt, and sharp tongued, but has a dry sense of humor and a quick wit. In some ways, she is more forward and stricter than Optimus, but still balances this with a kind, welcoming air.

History:
Before she was Elita-One, Elita once went by the name of Ariel, a femme that came from amongst the elite in terms of the caste system. Though a socialite, she always found herself bored and unexcited by social gatherings, parties, etc., feeling her life had no direction or meaning during pre-war times. Though she attempted to entertain herself learning gymnastics, self-defense, and dance, this still did not fill the void she felt in her life. After some research and pulling strings, eventually Elita was granted permission to join the Elite Guard.
Quickly, Elita found her foot at the academy, finding she had a natural talent for combat that combined with her attitude seemed to make her perfect for handling high stakes, stressful situations. It was no surprise then that Elita graduated with the highest honors and found herself often transferred from place to place, attempting to keep the peace for High Council and Senate negotiations, domestic threats, and growing unrest. One of these assignments saw her working the labor yards of which she would meet laborer Orion Pax, a mech of whom she quickly befriended based on their similar attitudes, ideologies, and motivations, which eventually blossomed into a romantic relationship between the two. Likewise, this relationship also brought her into contact with the miner and revolutionary Megatron whom she held mixed feelings about. She thought the mech had excellent points and meant well in his ideals, but at the same time there was always something off about him.
In the months following, all hell broke loose around Cybertron, Elita called upon to handle more and more threats made by rebellions, a rebellion that soon transformed into a full-blown war under the doctrine of Megatron's new Decepticon Empire confirming her initial suspicions about the mech. Immediately, Elita joined the Autobots especially those who came to follow Orion when he became the new Matrix bearer, making him Optimus Prime. By then, Elita herself had changed her designation, becoming one of Optimus' most loyal lieutenants as well as one of his strongest fighters. In fact, her skills quickly became renounced enough she was granted permission to create her own elite force, contacting old femme friends to take advantage of their being viewed as "weaker" in terms of skills and abilities to become a commando team of their own involving Chromia (her oldest friend), Firestar, Greenlight, Lancer, Moonracer, and occasionally Arcee.
During the long millennia of fighting, Elita and her team were tasked with handling taking out supply lines, infiltrating behind enemy lines, and partaking in guerrilla warfare, hoping to impede much of the Decepticons' progress. Though the success was mixed, Elita was ever confident her team could still put that hurt in where they could. But, this would eventually change the day the Ark and Nemesis launched, Elita being held up with her team and being unable to reach the launch pad in time, watching in sadness as her beloved and fellow Autobots disappeared to the stars. 4 million years followed without word from them, and Elita took command of the Autobot forces that remained on Cybertron, having to work in small cells as their numbers had greatly dwindled against Shockwave and his forces until a fateful day cam when the Space bridge became operational. By happenstance, those Autobots that had been mission for centuries seemed to appear like magic.
Eventually, Elita found herself reunited with Optimus and their fellow missing Autobots, returning vigor to their cause in 1984, and the war finally coming to an end in 1993 when the space bridge was destroyed, and Megatron made a shocking denouncement of his own cause. Though Elita was ever suspicious of this change of spark, she decided to share Optimus' benefit of the doubt and has attempted to make peace with those of their enemies who laid down their arms for peace. However, it has been a rough 30 years, and Elita has only just begun to give Megatron some leniency as well as becoming an occasional mentor to the younger Terrans that have recently surfaced and other younger cybertronians.
But even in these times, Elita is always alert.
