Elena was born on March 7th in Augusta, Maine. She was born to a muggle father, Steven Sommers and a half-blood mother, Elizabeth Smith Sommers. Her father is aware of magic, which is why when she was 11, she attended the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardy in Massachusetts, which is not that far from her home in Maine. She was sorted to Pukwudgie and she attended the school until her 4th Year.
After her 4th Year in Ilvermorny, his father gets relocated to Wales, and so they had to move. Elena was sad at first, not wanting to leave everything she grew up with behind. That, and she's terrified of the idea of having to adjust to a new school environment. She pleads with her mother, but there was nothing she could do, and she also explained that it would be the best for the three of them. Nervous, Elena accepted it and they all moved to the United Kingdom.
