Elisabeth Blanctorche (エリザベート・ブラントルシュ) is a significant character in The King of Fighters series. She debuted in The King of Fighters XI as the leader of the Rivals Team and a key figure in the narrative, opposing the protagonist, Ash Crimson. Elisabeth hails from the French noble Blanctorche family, tasked with protecting the innocent. She and Ash were childhood friends, and she acted as an older sister figure to him until a fire destroyed their home, leading her to seek to stop him. She fights with an elegant yet formidable whip and manipulates light powers, earning the title "Controller of the white light" (白き光の導き手). In The King of Fighters XV, her official title is "Will of Light" (光の意志). Elisabeth is characterized as serious and aristocratic, determined to accomplish her goals at any cost.
